THE STORY OF AN ACNE SURVIVOR...

-
 
 
     I have discovered that whatever happens on the inside reflects on the outside (of the body)... I decided to share the testimony of an unknown survivor of acne because his story has a lot on emotions and acne...
  I remember when I had really bad acne that I would always get sad and depressed about my acne and get mad when I saw my skin in the mirror.
  Every morning when I woke up I would look in the mirror and be mad that my acne wasn't getting better.
Over the last few years i've researched and read A LOT! and learned that your emotions (sadness/happiness etc.) actually cause changes in your skin believe it or not.
It's linked to stress, when you have negative emotions such as depression, anger or sadness it causes more stress on the body causing the organs and internal functions to not work as well and operate as efficiently as they normally do. When I learned this I believe it because
I've had points in my life when I feel really good and I have more energy and feel healthier, at other times when I feel down and sad I don't have energy and feel like I am sick.
   So, I found out through all of this that your emotions actually do affect your skin.
Have you ever heard "Wear Your emotions on your sleeve"? this expression is so true, except you wear it on your skin.
So I have a few suggestions that might help you...
1. Be Happy at all times, no matter what. Life is short, there's no reason to be sad
and depressed even if there is a reason to be! Let stress and sadness and things that cause pain in life to not affect you negatively.
2. Smile More Often.
Smiling Brightens your day and helps keep you in a positive emotional state... this helps you have more energy and helps your body operate better believe it or not.
3. Believe your skin will clear up. So many people have acne not because their products but because they believe they
have acne and always will, I know when my acne was really bad I thought I would never get rid of it... but guess what? I did! and you can too. When you truly believe your skin will clear up and become beautiful again you actually help it heal... It's called the placebo effect, your mind has that much power!, Google it! It also has enough power to cause the nocebo effect which is the opposite, a negative effect.
    Basically, I've learned to smile, laugh and live life to the fullest and I truly believe that this has helped my emotional being (part of my body) be healthier and help my skin be healthier.
  It may sound crazy to you, but before you judge learn about "placebo and nocebo effect" as well as how emotional stress and emotions can cause disease.
If negative emotions can cause cancer i'm sure they can cause a little bit of acne too.

WATER, A CURE FOR DANDRUFF!

-
For about six years before now, I struggled with dandruff on my hair. I tried several means just to cure this hair ailment but to no avail. I did the two-week interval washing, I used several kinds of antidandruff treatment, at a point I even thought it was something that should be dealt with internally and I had to use antibiotics and herbs, still the dandruff persisted. It got so frustrating that I almost took it as a fate because each time I applied oil, my scalp got dried almost immediately making it seem like I never applied cream or oil for days. I changed shampoos, hair creams and treatments, I used shea butter, olive oil, EVO, and even all combined, I remember a friend calling me 'danddy' because that name sounded like an abbreviation for dandruff, plus the dandruff usually caused a painful scalp for me. Finally, thank God for my friend, Angela who made me understand.that dryness is not necessarily caused by lack of oil but more importantly, lack of water and so, she

      I'm not in a very good position to give relationships advice. But, during one of my reflection times some days back, I realized by the Spirit of God, how much power of choice we have as females when it comes to whom we give our heart to, who we get to marry, who we get to give the chance of a date with us.      The question is; If we have this power, why then do we still make choices we later regret. The truth is that, some of these mistakes, or factors causing these mistakes can be avoided through several ways of which the most important is seeking the heart desire of the creator of man himself. He sees and knows what we don't, he knows the end from the beginning, and the beginning from the end.       Therefore, one of the most important things is to seek the will of God, which will guide you in choosing rightly.       In case you didn't know, your relationships can make you a more beautiful and complete woman or otherwise. I pray we all make the right choice.
