I’m all about finding any product that can help control my acne. Not long ago it hit me that I’ve been battling acne since I was in my very early teens and I only had a short respite from acne in my 20s and early 30s.

I have to say that never in a million years would I have ever thought that I’d still be battling with acne at my age. The reality is that more and more women are dealing with acne well into their 40s and late 40s (I’ve actually spoken to women in their 50s who dealt with acne) because of environmental and nutritional changes that are affecting our hormone levels.

Another major cause of acne is stress! We’re living in a time where we are “on” 24/7. We’re multi tasking … we’re double and triple booked … we’re flying around the globe for business meetings or conferences … we’re working longer hours … we’re sleeping less now than at any other time in history … we’re eating low quality food on the run. It’s really no wonder why so many women deal with acne in their 30s and 40s.

It’s true that makeup might also be a factor if you’re not using oil-free makeup that won’t make you break out. The same applies to your skincare products … you want to make sure they won’t clog your pores.

That said, stress, hormones and a poor diet are some of the major causes of adult acne.

Not long ago, I decided to go out and find a cosmetic dermatologist to help me with my hyperpigmentation (aka dark scars left behind by acne) and I was told that given I also had acne on my body … I might need to consider oral antibiotics.

I thought to myself, if I didn’t take antibiotic when I had raging acne as a teenager, why start now?

During a recent party for the 10^th anniversary of Green+ organized by Genuine Health in mid September, I had the immense pleasure of meeting Sam Graci, the creator of Green+. During our meeting I told him what this dermatologist told me and he looked at me in a very disapproving way and told me I need to get on a treatment that would not harm me in the long run.

His suggestion was a combination of Genuine Health’s Perfect Skin capsules and Healthy Skin with Green+.

I will start testing this combination and will report on my results.

Perfect Skin capsules have been formulated with these five acne-fighting ingredients:

1. Omega3 EPA (fish oil): This will help with inflammation.

2. EGCG from green tea extract: This powerful antioxidant will also help with inflammation and it also decreases the oxidative stress in your body.

3. Zinc: This will also help with inflammation and it’s a powerful antioxidant that’s very effective at controlling acne during stressful periods. Many studies show that acne suffers are deficient in zinc.

4. Vitamin E, selenium: Acne suffers often have lower levels of vitamin E, which can lead to severe acne breakouts.

5. Chromium: Acne suffers suffer from higher blood sugar levels. Chromium will help regulate the levels of blood sugar in your body to help control the acne production.

The big problem is that you cannot hide acne because it’s right there on your face and for most of us that’s an issue. The only real long term solution is really to control it. I will let you know how my test with Genuine Health’s Perfect Skin capsules and Healthy Skin with Green+.
