What Is Your Top Advice for Adult Pimples?

Hey, it's J.J. here. You know, I've been talking about environmental toxins forever, and laundry detergent is a sneaky one. A lot of them contain harsh chemicals like dyes, preservatives, and even UV brighteners. Those brighteners don't actually clean anything. They just coat fabric so your eyes think things look whiter or brighter. That's more chemicals I don't want on my family's sheets or skin. And if you've got sensitive skin or allergies around the house, this can be a big problem. That's what got my attention about Earth Breeze. It looks like a dryer sheet, but it's actually laundry detergent. You toss one in the washer and that's it. No pouring, no mess, and no heavy plastic jug. Their packaging is lightweight cardboard, which helps reduce plastic waste. And if you choose the fragrance free option, it's gentle, hypoallergenic, non irritating, and non sensitizing.

All righty. I got my first zit, I think at age 11, and I remember being in my 30s going, why do I have acne and I'm getting wrinkles? How unfair is this? This was supposed to end. Like, know I thought for some reason, like magically at age 18 it would end. And then at age 21, it would end. And then age 30 would end. I tried everything. I was on Accutane, multiple rounds. I did the blue lasers, I did all the topical stuff over and over and over again and nothing would control this. And I mean, these were like those painful ones that you see in the commercials. So part of my search for, like, how to really figure out the right diet for you was also a search for how to really get my skin to get together. And one of the things that I started to notice was as I was pulling people off of dairy, their skin was looking better. Not only were they losing the bloat and losing the mucus, but hello, skin started looking a lot better too. So one of the first things that I have you do if you're suffering from any skin issues is, number one, get the dairy out. And I'm talking all dairy, goat, sheep, cow, all of it. Get it gone. And follow the sugar impact diet and go super low sugar impact. So we're gonna get the dairy out, we're gonna get gluten out, and we're gonna go low sugar impact. So that is very, very important right off the bat. That alone will make a big difference. Number two, check your stress. The stress is going to trigger this. So really look at your stress, what's going on and figure out how you are going to handle it. Is it yoga? Is it tapping? Is it meditation? Is it breath work? Is it all of the above? Do you need to say goodbye to a couple relationships? What do you need to do? Because you'll wear stress all over your face. Now a lot of your what's going on in your face is what's going on in your gut. So the other thing is to make sure, and this is what I have people walk through in the Virgin diet. And by the way, virgin diet 2.0, we're going deep into this, how you heal your gut because you really want to make sure you have a balanced gut microbiome. So that's where taking good probiotic can really help. I use my microbiome balance, which is bacteriophages and probiotics to help here. Next thing is also making sure that you're breaking down your protein. Well, it was crazy, but when I started taking enzymes, specifically betaine, I started to notice both rosacea and acne going away. So that's another one. And then supplements that can be helpful here, vitamin A and zinc can both be super duper helpful here, so those are two to look at. Of course vitamin C and collagen can help as well, but the key ones here are vitamin A and zinc and then some omega 3s, especially fish oil because they're so good for reducing inflammation. So give those a go. Make sure you're drinking a lot of clean, pure water in between meals and let me know how it goes. This is JJ with Ask the Health Expert.

Every week I tag all things books and reading with a guest and guide them in discovering their next read. They share three books they love, one book they don't, and what they've been reading lately. And I recommend three titles they may enjoy reading next. Guests have said our conversations are like therapy, troubleshooting issues that have plagued their reading lives for years and possibly the rest of their lives as well. And of course, recommending books that meet the moment. Whether they are looking for deep introspection to spur or encourage a life change, or a frothy page turner to help them escape the stresses of work, school, everything, you'll learn something about yourself as a reader and you'll definitely walk away confident to choose your next read, with a whole list of new books and authors to try.
