At 39 years old, I’ve finally found the solution to my adult hormonal acne troubles, but it wasn’t an easy road. For more than 6 years, I sought help from conventional doctors, naturopaths, dermatologists, and countless other healthcare professionals, but nothing seemed to work. Even the “proven” prescriptions like tretinoin fell short. It was at the point of accepting my fate that a glimmer of hope appeared.
Over the past nine months, I’ve made gradual changes that have reduced my acne breakouts by about 90%. Join me in this video as I share my personal story of holistic health and healing for my acne-prone skin.
One crucial component of my holistic health journey has been therapeutic vitamin C supplementation.
Vitamin C is not only an essential nutrient but also a potent antioxidant that offers numerous benefits for acne and overall health. Discover how to determine your body’s individual vitamin C needs and learn about therapeutic dosages by researching “vitamin C bowel tolerance.” I personally use Nutribiotic Pure Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) Powder and incorporate it into my daily water intake. Remember to use glass cups or jugs, as vitamin C doesn’t interact well with plastic or metal.
I’ve also found topical vitamin C serum to be highly effective.
Mad Hippie Vitamin C Serum, featuring sodium ascorbyl phosphate, has become a popular skincare product for addressing acne-related concerns. It not only inhibits the growth of acne-causing bacteria but also neutralizes free radicals and promotes collagen production, aiding in scar healing and achieving a more even skin tone.
Another fascinating element of my holistic approach is the use of colloidal silver.
This liquid suspension of tiny silver particles exhibits antimicrobial properties, combatting bacteria associated with acne breakouts. By reducing inflammation and preventing new acne lesions, colloidal silver helps maintain clearer skin. I personally apply a thin coat of colloidal silver on my face before the vitamin C serum in the morning, and again at night. It’s been a beneficial addition to my skincare routine, contributing to fewer breakouts and surface-level pore infections.
Additionally, I’ve explored orthomolecular therapy, which emphasizes the importance of proper nutrition and supplementation.
After witnessing the positive impact of vitamin C on my skin, I realized that other nutrients might be missing from my diet. “The Vitamin Cure for Women’s Health Problems” book by Helen Saul Case became my guide, offering valuable insights into utilizing vitamins and minerals to address various health concerns specific to women. By following the recommended vitamin regimen for PMS (premenstrual syndrome), I experienced significant improvements in the clarity of my skin and relief from other PMS symptoms that had plagued me for years.

In this video, I also dive into the essential role of gut health in healing acne.
The connection between the gut and the skin is undeniable, as the gut microbiome influences immune response, inflammation levels, nutrient absorption, and toxin elimination. By maintaining a healthy gut through a balanced diet, probiotics, and lifestyle changes, we can reduce inflammation, enhance immune function, and optimize nutrient absorption and toxin elimination, ultimately benefiting acne healing.
Join me on this transformative journey of holistic health and holistic living as I share my personal experiences, recommendations, and the resources that have helped me achieve healthier, clearer skin.
Together, let’s embrace a holistic approach to health and skincare, unlocking the power of internal and external well-being for radiant skin and overall wellness.
