Rather acne than blackheads :(

[samaria]

,,,instead of tons of blackheads on my face!!
acnes seem to be cured by Wai's diet but blackheads just DONT


my face looks clean from the distance but when looked closely,

it is covered tiny blackheads(especially nose, cheek area) and little gritty stuff(on my forehead) all over.


my skin is both dry & oily and very acne prone but I managed to have only 2,3 acnes by not applying any moisturizer and kinda following Wai's diet (for 2 weeks now).


I've also tried many different ways to remove blackheads but there are just too many of them on my face T.T


so I've just bought petroleum jelly (oils dont work for me) as my last choice that would prevent dehydration of my skin and pores from producing sebum that eventually becomes blackheads.


Of course I'm worried if it would block the pores and cause inflammations
but I wanna try ANYTHING to get rid of all of blackheads.


would it be that bad idea to use petroleum jelly on my face?
can Wai's diet 100% clear blackheads?
I would very appreciate anyone's adivice

I put vaseline on my face and went to bed yesterday

this morning nothing happened

and my skin is much softer and nice

I guess I'll continue to use it!

if any disaster happens, I'll post here for those of you who are wondering

Yuck.

Petroleum jelly on your face?

samaria,

Do you eat fish?
I have noticed that when I eat fish 3-4 times a week I noticed an improvement in my entire complexion. I used to get blackheads on my nose and sinus cheek area, but the fish was the only major diet change and I suspect they may be related. You could that out, but make sure you don't eat too much and breakout if you are susceptible to too much protein.

Thats a blunt statement for someone who is "kinda following Wai's diet".
First do the 100% strict sample diet, and then we talk again.

it is covered tiny blackheads(especially nose, cheek area) and little gritty stuff(on my forehead) all over.

Thats not unusual in the initial stages.

I managed to have only 2,3 acnes by not applying any moisturizer and kinda following Wai's diet (for 2 weeks now).

Thats your problem: "kinda".
The sample diet rules are no suggestions, but rules.
If you dont follow them all, you are not doing the diet.

so I've just bought petroleum jelly (oils dont work for me) as my last choice that would prevent dehydration of my skin and pores from producing sebum that eventually becomes blackheads.

You shouldnt use petroleum jelly on parts that produce much sebum (visible pores inj the skin), because then the pores may get blocked, as ptroleum jelly is too much sticky and solid

can Wai's diet 100% clear blackheads?

It will cause a great reduction. Having only some blackheads is normal; everybody has some.
Just try the 100% strict sample diet.
and not "kinda"

Thank you everyone!!!!!


first of all, my diet consists of

1. lots of fruits + mayo(for fat) or olive oil ,
2. one boiled egg a day(cuz i need proten)
3. salad

and no other munch food whatsoever


the reason i said I "kinda" follow wai's diet is that
I cannot get some of the food wai suggests

I cant eat nuts (im allergic)
Its impossible for me to get raw fish
and from my previous experience, boiled egg doesnt cause acne at all


so thats why I cannot help but "kinda" follow wai's diet
(i wish i could get raw fish ASAP)


and pettrolatum jelly doesnt seem to cause acne so far
(i only put it when i go to sleep)

why is it so bad?

The boiled egg is a big no-no.
Sure, you need protein. From RAW egg yolks and/or raw fish.
This diet cannot possibly be succesful if you eat boiled eggs.

Well, if you dont believe what we say, what are you doing here then?

As I already explained: it may block pores, because its sticky and a bit solid. It may cause nasty inflammations at one point. Usually acne is not caused by blocking pores from the outside, but the jelly is capable of doing so. You may get unlucky any time. Just wait and see.
You may use it (to prevent dehydration), but only in areas where you never get blackheads.

you have to follow the diet strictly. show some discipline. i forget who said it but, discipline is the chief element of self respect.

and do not say it is impossible to get raw fish. you can get it anywhere in the world really. and if it really is unavailable, then just eat raw egg yokes. i would also avoid mayo. just stick to olive oil to balance fruits, or UNSHELLED brazil nuts.

also, don't freak out if you don't see results in a week. its the two week sample diet for a reason, as it takes 2 weeks to see visible results for the majority of those who take it.
