    There are people, who have great skin, despite eating like sh..t. However, if you're not one of them... look at this from the bright side. When candy shows up at your face in form of acne, you feel motivated to not eating it. Person with great skin eats a lot of candy and boom in few years diabetes. So, your acne actually protects you from illness :) At least, that's what I tell myself, because if life gives you lemon.. :):)

      I completely agree. I have oily and acne prone skin but it was worse when I was younger. My mom got me to drinking green juices and I started eating clean. My skin cleared up so much. People think I’m trying to lose weight but I’m actually eating well for my skin, 😁 my body thanks me for it too though.

    Another tip:
    EXERCISEEE: This is rlly important and from my personel experience, i did everything fel mentioned in the vid but my acne still wouldn't completely go away, however, i started working out everyday, and i still do it now, and my skin has completely cleared out.
    Fyi, when you exercise, ur muscles need energy, which they get from glucose and oxygen, so ur body is actually using up the glucose u had taken up from all these foods, meaning the glucose is going away becayse of this anyway so there is no need for too much insulin production.
    I would definitely recommend to follow all the tips fel mentioned in the vid along with daily exercise, which cleared my acne, and hopefully it will urs too :D

      @@aloarstory3358 I usually just make a workout routine of 10 to 15 minutes of different exercises with 2 to 3 10second breaks in between. My main priority is to sweat out and that happens only when u feel tired and out of breath during the work out. If you don't know much about work outs, I suggest you could find a 10 to 15 minute full body work out on UA-cam, infact that's what I started out with. And it's really important that you do this every day for clear skin. You could take 1 to 2 days off I a month, but try not to do it more than that. Good luck!!

    I also experienced horrible acne recently that started last year. I’ve always had issues with my blood glucose (it’s in my family) and only recently learned this sugar-insulin-acne relationship as well. It’s so important and this video explains it so well! I bet many people with acne are going through this more recently, since we’re just now able to migrate towards a life similar to the one before the pandemic and eating all the yummy things at restaurants.

I’m going through this right now and my first thought was ok let’s do a skin regimen complete overdo and it kept coming back after a couple days of being gone. I’ve never experienced cystic acne in my life and I feel so much empathy for others now. It’s really an emotional roller coaster of trying to make right and go back to what my skin was. Many UA-camrs speak of insulin resistance but I didn’t relate until now that it’s affecting my skin.

    I had the same time!! My skin stayed clear for a year because I got into skincare. But then my period became irregular due to stress and lo and behold, HUGE cycstic acne around my mouth. I haven't worked out since the pandemic started, ate whatever I wanted everyday, also had a lot of stress with school and work. The reasons behind my acne is so much simpler than I thought, and I can't believe I was genuinely confused as to why I was having acne again🤡🤡🤡 Skincare is important, but diet, exercise and mental health is also SOOO important and foundational to having good skin. Fel thank you for this video!!

    I've had oily skin all my life, but had a terrifying cystic hormonal outbreak about 3 years ago when my face was completely wrecked and swollen - all these bumps were growing out of nowhere and there was nothing I could do to keep it controlled. At the same time, I started having abdominal pains (even when I wasn't on my period). I went to the doc and found out I had a huge ovarian cyst that needed to be surgically removed. 1 week after the surgery, all the acne cleared by itself. That whole episode taught me a lot about how acne can be a direct reflection of your body chemistry and health.

    I am in my 40's now and when I had acne at 14-18 years old, I started using Retin A. I was deterred from using it because of the peeling. The dermatologist actually told me that sweets had nothing to do with acne. I told him, when I ate junk foods (big macs, drank pop, fries, etc.) my acne increased. I kept believing him and used the Retin A as an excuse to eat crappy. I changed my eating, got rid of dairy, drank more water, ate healthier and acne went away. Bottom line: YOU ARE CORRECT. Even though doctors tell us something, our bodies know the truth. LOVE YOUR CONTENT.

      thanks so much for sharing!! you're defs not alone, and I think a lot of us have also gone through those periods of flare-ups where we just have no idea why it's happening and nothing seems to work. the pill is good temporary solution and can definitely help to gain confidence back, so that when the time comes you'll be more empowered to tackle it again, and we'll be right here with you tooo! Hope everything is going okay, and just remember you're never alone, and if it seems to hard at times, just take a step back and give yourself some time, breathe, and it'll work out :) - fel xx

    Initially I ddI not think this was a video about nutrition, I thought you were going to show some products but I actually learned a lot, made me look at how my life has changed, what I’ve been eating or ingesting that has changed, skin really isn’t just what’s on top it has so much to do with internally and I’ve never really looked at that before I wanted to believe that I could get rid of my acne by just using good products but when I look at what’s changed, I have really been consuming a lot more sugars a lot less fibers, fruits all that stuff, I’ve seriously never wanted the believe I had to change my diet in order to help my skin but the last 6 months since I got my new job I’m working more I’m eating a lot of food from work I’m drinking all the sugary drinks all the milk and replacing my water with it. Thank you for this video it seriously made me realize what was going on and looking at what I’m doing and what I can do to help myself. Really a great video, thank you I’m excited to make some changes and hopefully help my body overall!!

I knew those things but I learned a lot today what actually going out there 🙌🏽❤️ with the insulins and sugar coffee and dairy products. ☺️

    Explaining the relationship between sugar, carbs, insulin and hormone levels really helped me to understand this vicious cycle. They used to say it but I didnt get, now I know why I should avoid from certain foods, not as a basic prohibition but as a well-explained and understood cause of my lately hormonal acne. It was under control for couple of years, that I'm on birth control pills but recently, for couple of months it came back even though I'm still on the medication and nothing could stop it. I'm gonna reorganize my nutrition style. I used to avoid from certain oils, as we all know it causes acne, but I didnt get why sugar or non oily carbs may cause acne. Your video really helped me.

    English is not my first language, (I’m like B2 I guess. I doubt being C1 lol) but I’ve understood literally EVERYTHING. Thank you SO MUCH for this video. I’m on Roaccutane now and my skin has never looked better than now, BUT I found out that genetically my body produce more androgen and testosterone than it has to and now I’m very afraid to get my acne back……But luckily I’ve just found this video, it’s just blowed up on my recommendations. I’m so glad I’ve found it, cause my dermatologist has told things like “Acne is an independent disease it rarely relies on your diet. Some ppl eat burgers every single day and still don’t get any breakouts”, but still she says “try to reduce sugar, products that contain high glycemic index and diary”.
    Now I understand WHY. I really hope for my skin to stay at the certain condition that it is now, but in order to prevent dramatic breakouts I guess I have to try this out, cause as I remember I feel myself WAAAAAAY BETTER when I eat healthier, less sugar, less diary, more veggies, more fruits etc. I’ve been thinking about paying attention to my diet for the last 1-3 weeks I guess, but after this video I will DEFINITELY watch myself and learn more about it.

    You did such an amazing job explaining this👏🙌 great information! BEANS are our best friend (it’s also high in zinc). I would also look into the Glucose Goddess. She makes balancing your blood sugar very simple. Essentially, one of the tips is, try eating veggies (fibre) first, then proteins and fats and finally carbs (in that order and don’t over do the carbs of course). This will really help your gut, insulin, liver and your skin. Eating this way will also help with irregular periods, moods, painful periods, acne and etc. Jess from Glucose Goddess has loads of tips for this. Just wanted to share what’s helping with my PCOS and acne atm.
