There is a great Anti Candida diet, that you could also try if u also suspect yeast issue problem.

32
EFA's are oils that u take orally such as fish oil, borage oil, or evening primrose oil. I prefer evening primrose oil, cos that has a good impact on women's hormones, plus with the added

benefit of the skin effect

It definitely sounds fungal/yeast issue

Have you considered visiting a naturopath??? That may be a good choice for you

Pls keep us updated, and any more questions I will try to help you okay :)

also, if u r going to try a new product on your skin. test patch it first to see for reaction

i was going to mention trying pure aloe vera on your skin, that is good for bacteria, and doesnt add

oil or moisture to the skin. try a small test patch first.

Dermarolling / Microneedling / Sarah, Dermastamp Advice Please?
« on: May 26, 2012, 02:08:11 AM »
Hi Sarah

I love your dermarolling products, but was wondering if you may

have any dermastamps in the range of 0.5 - 1mm  that you would consider selling on your site???

I would like to start off more gently (rather than going straight to the 1.5mm dermastamp), and esp for ppl who have sensitive skin, was thinking that

starting with a 0.5mm, and then if skin reacts ok, graduating later to a longer dermastamp.

Thanks so much,

Swan

Hi there,

The only thing that comes to mind, is your hormones. Especially when you mentioned the increase in facial hair, and the increase in oil production

Another thing. Have you been checked for a yeast problem??? You said about going onto a mainly carb diet, that would definitely feed yeast in your system

And also because that Kectonazole (sp?) helped, that is normally for fungal conditions

Just a few things that came to mind.

Have you tried also Essential Fatty acids. They can often help with skin texture, and eczema like conditions.

P.S. Have you ever Been on Accutane, sometimes it can result in strange skin texture from that drug???

Thank you Liquid Ocelet !!

Sarah,

Do you by any chance, sell dermastamps in the needle length range of 0.5mm, as suggested by LIquid???

I have had a look in your store, but only can find a dermastamp of 1.5mm.

Because I have sensitive skin, would prefer to start off more gently.

Thank you in Advance

Hi Liquid

I never had it at birth. I acquired it when I become an adolescent, but only in my scalp. After Accutane usage, it migrated to my face, but i only haveit mildly

Were you ever on Accutane? 'A bit worried about really giving dermarolling a go, as results can be unpredictable becuase of impaired healing in some Accutane users. I , unfortunately am one of them.

Although now my healing is much much better than when I first got off accutane, it is still somewhat fragile, and has never fully recovered its health.

i also have the oily, but dry skin with the SB

Hi Ana !

Just wanted to add that I notice for myself, that sugar is my main culprit when it comes to SD

If I stick to healthy, low sugar foods, my SD doesnt seem to flare. I also notice for some reason, if it does flare, have had great healing from using

a particular sunscreen. Just seems to almost instantly calm it down.

Pls do let us know how it goes with the dermarolling.

I think starting off gentle and slow, trial run, is a great idea with sensitive skin like ours

I think that chronic skin inflammation (sugar is my causes) is  a must to be avoided in great healthy looking skin.

Thank hyou for this post Ana!

Hi Sarah

My SD is very mild, and only seems to get triggered if I over indulge in sugar, hence the theory that SD is caused by yeast overgrowth

I rarely get SD these days, but lately have been indulging in sugar

I do not plan to roll/stamp if the SD is active I will wait till its gone dormant

I did try a trial stamping on my temples about six months ago. By then I had completely forgotten about my SD.

But what was interesting was I had no untoward reaction whatsoever. No SD flareup at all

I think your theory may be valid, and I will definitely be doing this of my own volition, and choice

I will update you and your readers as to how it progresses

I was very happy with my very first trial on my face, with dermastamp tho

But I do believe in nutritional supps prior to any kind of skin rejuvenation process, as I believe this all enhances how well the collagen/healing will go.

Thank you again. I so appreciate the time you take to answer me and all the other posters!!

Maybe I'll be the first SD pionneer when it comes to dermarollilng! :)

Dermarolling / Microneedling / Concerned about new scars
« on: April 27, 2012, 10:08:39 PM »
Sarah

Do you think, IYHO, that the impaired skin healing after Accutane is caused from the skin thinning, or the drying out of the skin???

Now many years after Accutane, my skin is healing much, much better! Rarely leaves scars, even if I have a severe breakout. But back in the early post Accutane years,

it scarred extremely easy, skin was VERY fragilesensitive, and even got scars from no breakout or injury to the skin!

So far, dermarolling;/dermastamping seems to hold the most promise with skin results/improvement with the least amount of side effects, compared to other methods

Thank you ever so much, Sarah!!

That gives me some hope. I was on Accutane 20 years ago, and my skin is only, within the last several years starting

to recover. It's still dry, and the thinning of the skin is still there, albeit somewhat thicker with the passage of time/healing.

After Accutane I scarred so much more easily, whereas previously most breakouts never healed with an indent/scar.

"""Theoretically, dermarolling could maybe improve seborrhea but it is really just speculation. """""

Hi Sarah,

I have done some research on the internet about Seborrhea and dermarolling, and there is very little info. on it

Or even info of Seborrhea sufferers who have tried

I am willing to give it a shot, and I will report my progress here, if you like?

Specifically, dermastamping. I am about to order your dermastamp and also considering the dermaroller also.

I will be targetting acne scarring, but I was fascinated by your above statement.

Could you elaborate please on the theory of dermarolling improving seborrhea?????

I would LOVE to kill 2 birds (seborrhea AND acne scarring) with one stone

Thank you ever so much. Your board is THE most informative, most affordable products to date I have

come across on the net.

Hi Sarah

I am very interested in your comments on this topic of Accutane.

Can dermarolling/dermastamping improve the thickness of the skin, if Accutane has caused permanent thinning of the skin???

Dermarolling / Microneedling / no painkiller?
« on: February 28, 2012, 09:29:09 PM »
I used a 0.8 dermastamp and the 1mm dermastamp without any numbing whatsoever. It hurt, a bit like a burning sensation, but its over pretty quick, so can't be fussed

I prefer not using any of those numbing creams, as I do believe that its better for healing without.

Maybe icing would be good, if you can't tolerate.

Dermarolling / Microneedling / How can I see if dermastamp needles are bent?
« on: September 14, 2011, 12:21:36 AM »
Hi There

I am getting ready to dermastamp again.

When I check the needles, because they are so tiny I can't tell if any are bent or not? I tried going outside in the daylight where it was very bright, but they are just sooo tiny

Feeling a little bit hesitant to use it again, as I dont want to damage my skin with potential bent needles

How does one check accurately, without putting skin at risk with bent needles???

Thanking you in Advance
