How I Cleared My Acne...

So guys,
I'm sorry that I haven't been on in foreeever, but I have just been super busy and I moved to Alberta for the summer and just madness.

Anyways, you will be happy (because I am esctatic) that I have CLEARED UP MY ACNE! (mostly..)
sorry for the crappy webcam quality
 So my regime has changed slightly, but most of the steps have stayed the same.
I still take off my makeup with coconut oil and I wash my face with Andalou Organics cleanser.

Now, I used to use olive oil to moisturize because my skin was so dry but after some research I realized it was what was causing my acne. It is very high in lineloic acid, which in short is responsible for causing over-active sebum glands and thus causes clogged pores and breakouts. It made a lot of sense so I switched tooooooo:

GRAPESEED OIL! I talked about this a whiiiile back, but I started using it again and it has SAVED my face. I truly believe that this stuff is what has helped my skin the most out of everything.

In addition to moisturizing with grapeseed oil, I brought back my witch hazel toner. I have the rosewater one as well as the original which I just keep in spray bottles and dampen my face with toner before applying the oil.

I also purchased BellaBoo EZ Blitz serum and it is an all-natural spot treatment. But I use it all over my face after my moisturizer has sunk in. You only need a small amount to cover your face and I think it actually works! My pimples that I do get never last long and I think this serum has helped quite a bit in the prevention of new breakouts.

 I also added a fish oil supplement in addition to my multi-vitamins. I don't know if they have helped because I don't think I have been taking them for long enough yet but it is something I have changed so I figured I should add it.

But basically those are the only things that I have changed! I believe I owe atleast 75% of it to the grapeseed oil and I won't use anything else on my face now.
