Adult acne is no fun, but it especially sucks when you've had it since adolescence! My skin has gone through its ups and downs, but lately I've had a lot of breakouts and blackheads on my chin and forehead — I always have at least a few pimples, and it sucks.
I had no idea that giving up oil would clear up my skin — it was the first benefit I noticed. It only took a little over a week, but I was shocked at how much smoother and even-toned my skin looked. For being 43, I was pretty psyched! I wish I knew this back in college when my skin was really bad. Of course, that's when I was eating the most oil (hello, french fries and chips!).
Cutting back on sugar and eliminating dairy definitely helped with my breakouts, but not 100 percent. After giving up oil, I noticed a huge difference.
