Day 7 Summary

Another great day. Again it was extremely busy, so this post will be short. I went to the gym today and I've realized that I need some good skin care routine when at the gym. I usually wear a foundation and eye makeup when I go to work and I don't take it off before the gym, only after I work out. I guess that's not good, but I'm too embarrassed to go to the fitness class without makeup. After work out I took makeup off with jojoba oil. It works better than any other makeup remover I've tried (my favorite brand name makeup remover was Lancome). then I took a shower and gently washed my face with the mild cleanser. I also continue to use some benzol peroxide on the areas with whiteheads. (I'm really paranoid that one day these whiteheads will aggravate to full cysts :( That won't be nice. ) After I've used moisturizer.

Diet: I still doing the same: fruits and more fruits, some vegetables with hummus and for dinner quinoa with salad.

Supplements: These week I used only calcium and zinc supplements. In fact I'm not sure which supplements I should take. There are so many suggestions on the web: vitamins A, C, E, D; Zinc; Chromium; Cod Liver Oil and Fish Oil. Then there are so many different natural remedies and already combines supplements. We also have different herbs such as milk thistle, dandelion root, etc, that help with liver detox and acne. So how would I know which one too choose? I'm meeting with the naturopath tomorrow. I hope to get some help with understanding all these supplements and natural remedies. I've already tried some of them, but there is no quick solution. During the last four months I've tried drinking dandelion root tea for 2-3 weeks, mint tea for 2 weeks, also eating milk thistle, etc. There was no significant results until I've started the diet. I'm pretty sure that some of the supplements and herbs really can help but again "which one is the right one for me???". The same with topical remedies. I've tried all kinds of natural masks and products such as manuka honey, clay, aloe vera just to name a few.  In fact I really overdone it. I simply should of left my skin alone. Sometimes less is better. Anyway, tomorrow I hope to get some answers from a professional.
