The esthetician said this is it true ?

Question

Went to an esthetician because I'm in my 30s and i still struggle with acne despite researching and trying different routines and products and going to dermatologists and whatnot. It's not like horrible acne but I never have clear skin I always have pimples somewhere and it makes it hard to use anti aging products cus it makes the acne worse. I don't have oily skin either. 
The esthetician told me that my skin problems won't go away unless I stop dairy and go vegan. She was very pushy about it she said she can help me some but it will never be clear unless I go vegan. Is this based in fact or is she just wacky or what

Answer

You might be lactose intolerant. I have the same thing. Legit if I have like more than 2 pieces of pizza I break out the next day. Years ago my esthetician told me I was allergic and the lactose one out through your pores because your body isn’t able to digest it properly. If anything you can that those lactose pills. They might help. I just try not to ingest milk and too much cheese.

Answer

Dairy and Gluten are 2 big things that can affect the skin! So in a way she’s kinda right. Don’t worry about cutting out chicken and fish though. I would limit read meats

Answer

Esthetician here, there are SO many factors that affect acne. Yes, diet can be one of them but that doesn’t mean you have to go vegan, she is definitely pushing a lifestyle that she believes in but that doesn’t necessarily mean it will work for you. Hormones are the number one biggest factor that affect how our skin reacts, we’re more likely to break out around our period, stress can cause breakouts, poor sleep, improper skin care or skin care products, makeup, and even the environment you live in. I always recommend to my clients that they try and double cleanse at night time, the amount of gunk that our skin picks up throughout the day is crazy, and if you wear makeup it’s even more important, the double cleans helps to ensure that you’re actually cleaning out your pores because the first cleanse is only removing everything off the surface. I also really like products that have niacinamide in them, it’s a great antibacterial ingredient that helps to disinfect the blocked pores and break down the trapped sebum. You can also try changing your pillow case more frequently, the fabric holds on to bacteria from previous nights and that can sometimes contribute to breakouts. You can also look into blue light LED, it’s the best LED light therapy for acne. Hope this helps some 😊

Answer

Idk about going completely vegan but me along with everyone in my family breaks out from dairy. And I’m talking bad breakouts that occur right after even a little bit of dairy. It’s really common but that’s not the cause for everyone. She’s not crazy. It’ll just take trial and error to see if you’re one of the people that dairy impacts that way

Answer

It's possible but I don't know how she would know for sure that the animal products are the cause of your acne. Ask more opinions and don't change your entire diet for her. Also if you do think it could be a certain food - you need to go through a slow and meticulous process to figure out which one. Cutting everything at once won't give you any answers!

Answer

I sell some really good products with muslin that can help you with this

Answer

I had to cut out dairy fully because I was breastfeeding and my daughter was allergic to dairy protein (it passes through your milk)……guess what? Still had acne. I definitely think mine is to with hormones

Answer

I struggle with acne I breakout like I’m still in high school. Yess there are soo much foods out there that DO trigger acne. I go to an aesthetician & I purchase pricey products I do everything under the sun for prevention. But I admit I eat like a raccoon there’s a bit of truth in what she’s saying.. 😐 yea it sucks. But everyone is soo different.

Answer

For some people, yes that’s a big contributor. For others, no. Im 30, eat cheese like the world is ending and I have clear skin. everyone is different and food sensitivity’s can affect our skin. So she’s not 100% wrong, but she’s not 100% right.

Answer

I believe it somewhat. With all the crap that get out in our food some people can have a sensitivity too it. I also have break outs but I take prescription topical cream. My grandpa has horrible acne growing up and it has been passed down. Could be hormonal acne. I’ve never understand what causes acne or how to control.
