Hi, I'm Ray and I'm an ex-acne sufferer of 10 years. I've tried everything from traveling to a foreign country for laser surgery to Proactiv. None of that worked for me. This is the story of how I battled acne… and won. And how you can too.

"Eating a large breakfast is actually a huge misconception."

Okay, I figure the easiest way to do this (for now) is to tell you guys all about what I eat on a daily basis.

Eventually I’m going to remove this post and replace it with a video version of me walking around the kitchen and showing you all what I do but for now, this’ll have to do.

Eating a large breakfast is actually a huge misconception.

The reason being that your body is still in a cleansing state and is not acclimated to handle heavy foods yet.

Wait, what?

You mean all these years, we’ve been eating eggs, sausage, pancakes, with coffee, syrup, milk and cereal, and orange juice, we’ve been throwing our stomachs under the bus?

Yes!

You’ve been tricked.  Especially if you have acne.

“So what should I do?” you’re probably asking.  Well… allow me to tell you more…

What's the Difference Between Kefir and Yogurt?

What’s the difference between yogurt and kefir?

And why is this important the difference to giving you acne free clear skin?

That’s a good question because I bet many of you have heard about yogurt but few people have heard about kefir.

Some of you may have never even heard of kefir before.  And that’s okay.  And maybe some of you have probably even wandered around in the grocery store or at your local Trader Joe’s and have seen kefir.

You’ve thought to yourself, “Is that the same thing as yogurt?  What is that?”

So is kefir better than yogurt?  Is yogurt better than kefir?  Are they the same?  What’s the difference?

Let’s find out.

HOW IS RAY DIFFERENT FROM THE REST?

I’ve been told by a lot of my clients that the best part is that I not only have theoretical and practical knowledge, but that I’ve also “been through” an acne sufferer’s experience so I know exactly how you feel.  And it really makes a difference.

By this point, you’ve probably suffered more than just from acne, but probably your self image and confidence has suffered also.  I know you want to get this “issue” handled with soon and quickly.  I’ve been in your shoes, and I’m glad you’ve made the choice to find someone you can “communicate” with and who “knows” what you’re talking about.

What to do to avoid summer acne breakouts

So it got pretty hot this past Wednesday where I was at.

92° F, to be exact.

It’s probably not as hot as where some of you might be experiencing, but I remember when I used to have acne, anything over warm was considered too hot.

But I think the most frustrating thing about the heat, when I used to have acne, is the fact that it really seemed to irritate my acne.

So here are some 4 quick tips on what you can do during the heat to prevent summer acne.

Can dirty skin and touching your face cause acne?

I think, as an ex-chronic acne sufferer, that after you have for a while you start becoming slightly… “anal” about keeping things “off” your face.

In the beginning, it may not be that bad and you can lean on your face when you’re tired in class or in a theatre. You don’t mind other people or objects accidentally brushing up against your face.

But somewhere along the line, as the years ago on and if your acne continues to get worse and worse, you start becoming more and more “paranoid” about all the “enemies” and objects that can cause to have another pimple on your cheek the next day.

So you used to lean your head on your hand when you were tired or bored in class. But not anymore because you’re so self conscious about not letting anything touch your face that you’d rather not risk it. Maybe your hair gets into your face and it’s a little bit greasy or dirty, or maybe you just “feel” like it’s not that clean, but you just don’t want anything touching your face!

It makes you uncomfortable. It makes you paranoid.

This was me. Maybe you’ve experienced something similar?

Sexual Frustration vs. Acne

Does sexual frustration causes acne?

Warning, this article is PG-13.

So it’s Friday night. All your friends are out. And you want to go out too… but when you look in the mirror, “Err… maybe not.”

It’s a sensitive subject, I know it is. But hey, if I don’t talk about it, who else is going to.

“I will now address the pink elephant in the room.”

“Yes, ladies and gentlemen, there has been a elephant that is PINK in the room and everyone is pretending to not notice it.”

You have acne, and you are sexually frustrated. And somehow, through the years, the two have been linked together and you may be one of the many who think that being sexually frustrated is associated with having acne.

So let’s talk about it. Does being sexually frustrated cause acne?

And for those of you who aren’t old enough to understand what “sexual frustration” is… you should probably skip this article. Shouldn’t you be doing your homework right now? (No, this is not considered “homework”)

For those of you who ARE old enough but don’t know what sexual frustration is, well… either you’ve got bigger problems than acne or you’re a god in the sack.

But enough with sex jokes, let’s move on…

Is sexual frustration connected acne or not?
