There are people, who have great skin, despite eating like sh..t. However, if you're not one of them... look at this from the bright side. When candy shows up at your face in form of acne, you feel motivated to not eating it. Person with great skin eats a lot of candy and boom in few years diabetes. So, your acne actually protects you from illness :) At least, that's what I tell myself, because if life gives you lemon.. :):)

[@kmp8985]

I completely agree. I have oily and acne prone skin but it was worse when I was younger. My mom got me to drinking green juices and I started eating clean. My skin cleared up so much. People think I’m trying to lose weight but I’m actually eating well for my skin, 😁 my body thanks me for it too though.

[@Nehasupnfan]

Hear hear!!

[@BeautyWithin]

yesssss, completely agree with this! we're all given such different situations, and each situation, no matter whether it seems good or bad on the surface, is actually a blessing for us to learn new things from! and when we make it through, it's a whole other feeling of confidence and empowerment hehe. thanks for sharing!! - fel 😘

[@hiimfelicia2929]

This is a positive way of looking at things 😃

[@kari2704]

Thank you for the video and thank you 90Kasiek for what you said. I never really thought about it in that way. Now I can see it as my skin is telling me something and I need to watch what I eat. That’s why I’m having the breakouts. More fiber!

[@waakkeuppp]

For those who want to get the the point 7:42 she talks about insulin resistance 12:36 she talks about what she recommends as far as diet

Thank you for saving my time. 😊

Thank you so much!

Thanks!!

Thanks alot. Best comment

[@isbahfatima4451]

Another tip: EXERCISEEE: This is rlly important and from my personel experience, i did everything fel mentioned in the vid but my acne still wouldn't completely go away, however, i started working out everyday, and i still do it now, and my skin has completely cleared out. Fyi, when you exercise, ur muscles need energy, which they get from glucose and oxygen, so ur body is actually using up the glucose u had taken up from all these foods, meaning the glucose is going away becayse of this anyway so there is no need for too much insulin production. I would definitely recommend to follow all the tips fel mentioned in the vid along with daily exercise, which cleared my acne, and hopefully it will urs too :D

[@luzvez]

omg yess when I was exercising my skin so much better & glowy!!

[@BeautyWithin]

yessss, you're so right! exercise is such a great way to use up and burn energy aka reduce the blood sugar, so that they're not just building up in our system, but being used in the way they were for! I actually started running again, and it just makes such a huge difference in so many ways, like concentration, motivation and mood! thanks for sharing girl! - fel 😘

[@Klaudia.Sosnica]

my doctor also told me that exercising improves insulin production system, so it's all connected

[@aloarstory3358]

What kind of exercise you do? Any recomendation?

[@isbahfatima4451]

@@aloarstory3358 I usually just make a workout routine of 10 to 15 minutes of different exercises with 2 to 3 10second breaks in between. My main priority is to sweat out and that happens only when u feel tired and out of breath during the work out. If you don't know much about work outs, I suggest you could find a 10 to 15 minute full body work out on KZbin, infact that's what I started out with. And it's really important that you do this every day for clear skin. You could take 1 to 2 days off I a month, but try not to do it more than that. Good luck!!

[@NomieTee]

I’ve been struggling with adult acne for about a decade now. This information has blown my mind. My acne is exactly the same as yours Fel. Can’t wait to change some eating habits and fingers crossed I’ll see some results.

[@jennifertaylor-wright7694]

We love to hear updates! Sending good vibes to your skincare journey! 💕

[@BeautyWithin]

awww thanks so much for sharing! I think it makes all the difference to everyone also going through similar things that we're not alone in the process, and that it's actually quite normal. and encouraging ourselves and each other to be patient with the process and learn as much as we can! let us know how it all goes in the upcoming weeks and months! - fel 😘

[@NomieTee]

@@BeautyWithin I thought I’d pop back and say I really think it’s helping! It’s only been a couple of weeks but I’m definitely seeing improvement. Making a conscious effort to include more veg and protein in dinner meals. Usually do poached egg and avocado on toast OR berries and coconut yoghurt with granola for lunch. And still enjoying my daily soy latte.

[@lin_ash]

@@NomieTee more power to you!!! I'm starting mine today!

[@lunix3259]

For me I had to cut back sugar. I love sweets, so this is hard. But I notice I tend to consume more sugary food 2 weeks before my period. Cutting back absolutely helped, I didn't get giant painul pimples

[@zhoumygod]

I've had oily skin all my life, but had a terrifying cystic hormonal outbreak about 3 years ago when my face was completely wrecked and swollen - all these bumps were growing out of nowhere and there was nothing I could do to keep it controlled. At the same time, I started having abdominal pains (even when I wasn't on my period). I went to the doc and found out I had a huge ovarian cyst that needed to be surgically removed. 1 week after the surgery, all the acne cleared by itself. That whole episode taught me a lot about how acne can be a direct reflection of your body chemistry and health.

[@yavi_n]

Thank you for this. I struggle a lot and most days I lose hope but knowing someone else has also gone through it and has actually seen results after eating healthy (specially cutting down processed sugar intake) and giving a natural review like this really is motivating. Thank you, dear Fel! 😭❤️

[@kaykaybaw]

I've been struggling from this type of acne for years now, and I figured it was caused by hormones issues, but never I've seen someone break it down like you just did !!!! Even doctors never explained it like that. This is literally the first video I've listened to that make so much sense ! Thank you

[@livdelima6132]

This made me re-evaluate my eating habits. I have noticed a change in my skin and since the holidays haven't gone back to better eating habits entirely. Thanks for the self awareness reminder 🙂

[@BeautyWithin]

aww this is awesome to hear! honestly, the holiday seasons are the hardest because there's just so much deliciousness and socializing going on hahah, but it happens to all of us so you're deefffs not alone! we got thissss hahah. thanks for sharing girl! - fel xx

[@irenea8132]

I love the way you explained it . I’m a nurse practitioner and you have simplified this very well . Kudos to you Fel 👍🏼

[@BeautyWithin]

oww this means a lot! tyyy! it definitely can get super complicated, which is why I think a lot of people might give up on trying to figure it out, but actually once we know the core principles it's like mind blowinggg and so encouraging! thank you for all you do and commenting! - fel x

[@id3389]

I also experienced horrible acne recently that started last year. I’ve always had issues with my blood glucose (it’s in my family) and only recently learned this sugar-insulin-acne relationship as well. It’s so important and this video explains it so well! I bet many people with acne are going through this more recently, since we’re just now able to migrate towards a life similar to the one before the pandemic and eating all the yummy things at restaurants.

[@cynthiazuniga3197]

Thank you!!!! So much for covering this. I’m going through this right now and my first thought was ok let’s do a skin regimen complete overdo and it kept coming back after a couple days of being gone. I’ve never experienced cystic acne in my life and I feel so much empathy for others now. It’s really an emotional roller coaster of trying to make right and go back to what my skin was. Many KZbinrs speak of insulin resistance but I didn’t relate until now that it’s affecting my skin.

[@viviantam9138]

I had the same time!! My skin stayed clear for a year because I got into skincare. But then my period became irregular due to stress and lo and behold, HUGE cycstic acne around my mouth. I haven't worked out since the pandemic started, ate whatever I wanted everyday, also had a lot of stress with school and work. The reasons behind my acne is so much simpler than I thought, and I can't believe I was genuinely confused as to why I was having acne again🤡🤡🤡 Skincare is important, but diet, exercise and mental health is also SOOO important and foundational to having good skin. Fel thank you for this video!!

[@tinaschraier6724]

I am a trained medical esthetics person, you did a better job with this than professional trainings on cystic and acne topics. Loud clapping here ! So glad I found you and congrats !!

[@alex_danceskpop]

Oh my gosh, Fei. I'm crying because I feel so seen. I've started tracking my cycles too and my cystic acne is totally being influenced by skipping and irregularities. Thank you for this golden video! I actually just--feel so blown away and like there is hope for this.

[@stephaniearevalo3698]

Your video passing by on my feed is a blessing, thank you. You answered my problem regarding my acne! Sometimes it's better than looking it up.

[@Fliify]

Thank you so much! ✨ I’m going through the exact same thing! Eating badly last months, not getting period and now getting cystic acne from it! And now when this video came, I realized how much sense it makes! Made me understand my body better ❤️❤️ Thank you!

[@jacqueok]

Crazy because I’m going through the exact same thing too 😭

[@jacqueok]

Thank you so much for making this video! It’s so wild how this video was recommended to me because I haven’t gotten my period in almost 3 months and this has never happened to me before. I have gone from a busy life working to becoming unemployed and with a lot of time on my hands. I’ve been getting more breakouts than usual, and I know it was due to me not getting my period. I am now very aware that my eating habits are what got me to this situation 😭 thank you for the eye opener

[@kalisseaya]

I went to see my Derm today & she was so quick to prescribe me medication & flew out the door😑. No medicine can cure acne forever so everyone should know the root cause of their breakouts, or they’ll just keep returning. Thank you so much for this breakdown it was amazing & super helpful.

[@joann.5041]

What about Accutane and/or oral Spironolactone?

[@mnazz18]

What the hell are u talking about, Accutane was the only thing that cured Me of acne 110%! It saved my face! Get yourself educated

[@joann.5041]

@@mnazz18 I think Accutane works for about 90% of patients who take it.

[@joann.5041]

@Locust Hypnosis The money is in the medicine, not the CURE!

[@joann.5041]

@Locust Hypnosis Do these doctors realize how many patients, mainly children and teen-agers, have had to suffer because of a skin condition?

[@anneeewho]

this was so informative and the way Fel shared it was so humble and personal. keep up the good work! so grateful for channels like these that genuinely educate their audience ~

[@BeautyWithin]

[@chanelh1972]

My acne is EXACTLY the same as yours! I am slowly trying to get back to a strictly home cooked whole food diet versus going out and eating processed or unhealthy foods. It makes a HUGE difference in mood, skin, and overall bloating. Although treats are great in small quantities, I will always agree to add more veggies rather than take away foods

[@wendysaurus2062]

Thank you for making this video! Over the past few months, I've also seen an increase in hormonal acne that I haven't had in 10+ years! I really couldn't figure out what was going on but after watching this video, I can see how my new habits have been causing me to break out 😭Hoping mine will finally go down after correcting these new bad habits!

[@BeautyWithin]

awww thank you so much for sharing! you're definitely not alone in experiencing these somewhat 'random' breakouts, it took me more than 10 years to figure it out, and I'm still learning! the body is truly an amazing thing, and I appreciate it so much more with each little fact I found out. Let us know how your routine goes, and rooting for you! we're all here to motivate each other! - fel xx

[@leavemealone4012]

The whole missed period and inflammatory hormonal acne… it all makes sense! Finally! After so long! Thank you so, so much💞 I will stay updated

[@tmiller584]

I am in my 40's now and when I had acne at 14-18 years old, I started using Retin A. I was deterred from using it because of the peeling. The dermatologist actually told me that sweets had nothing to do with acne. I told him, when I ate junk foods (big macs, drank pop, fries, etc.) my acne increased. I kept believing him and used the Retin A as an excuse to eat crappy. I changed my eating, got rid of dairy, drank more water, ate healthier and acne went away. Bottom line: YOU ARE CORRECT. Even though doctors tell us something, our bodies know the truth. LOVE YOUR CONTENT.

[@briannablakes2271]

I ended up here after eating a Big Mac 😭😭😭

[@FanCityCentral]

Thank you for being so clear and concise. I recently saw a top rated derm it cost me $300 and she basically pushed me out the door, I learned more in your video and it's free!! This is the exact acne I'm struggling with, thank you!

[@nicolexie4623]

Wow thank you so much for this video! My dad's an acupuncturist/traditional Chinese doctor, and he has always told me to reduce the sugar I eat because I have a problem with chin acne (hormonal). I knew he was right, but hearing you give such a thorough and scientific explanation was really helpful! It will definitely make me be able to convince myself to cut down on the sugar now 😊

[@SHWETA9629]

You always gives particular and so informative kinda information people like us who are confused most of the time about hormonal acnes 😅

[@yuyahtuttin8490]

Really enjoyed the whole video and how you explained everything is just so easy to absorb and relate to and so calming at the same time!!

[@whydoievenneedachannelforthis]

This video was so informative. My body reacts the same way as yours, and the struggle with irregular periods is real. I’d love to see what kind of foods you made at home that helped get you back to the normal.

[@InbalMreeh]

1. You are beautiful! 2. You explained it better than any dermatologist ever did 3. Thank you❤

[@melissaspindler3814]

Thank you so much for this content last year I was diagnosed w pcos and have been struggling w the symptoms including the cystic acne. My health care provider sort of gave me a quick run over the side effects of my symptoms but never took the time to break down why and how my body is reacting. This was so insightful and so much more meaningful than ”just diet and exercise, see you next year !” Can’t wait to create new habits, and excited for more content to come! 💖

[@Anna-qwerty]

I like how real you are about this and showing us

[@larachrw]

The insulin part of your video changed my life. We currently talked about that in education school and that it's not healthy to eat too much sugars and bad fats. Too much sugars and fats will also show weight gain. I will now start to eat more healthy and avoid sugars and fats. You motivated me soo much

[@alannas3045]

Initially I ddI not think this was a video about nutrition, I thought you were going to show some products but I actually learned a lot, made me look at how my life has changed, what I’ve been eating or ingesting that has changed, skin really isn’t just what’s on top it has so much to do with internally and I’ve never really looked at that before I wanted to believe that I could get rid of my acne by just using good products but when I look at what’s changed, I have really been consuming a lot more sugars a lot less fibers, fruits all that stuff, I’ve seriously never wanted the believe I had to change my diet in order to help my skin but the last 6 months since I got my new job I’m working more I’m eating a lot of food from work I’m drinking all the sugary drinks all the milk and replacing my water with it. Thank you for this video it seriously made me realize what was going on and looking at what I’m doing and what I can do to help myself. Really a great video, thank you I’m excited to make some changes and hopefully help my body overall!!

[@Komal_Vinee]

I think you just answered some major questions and connected SO many dots in my mind. I know what to change, genuinely thank you. I think this will work out for me

[@mentusanarih]

Fel, I love these videos of yours about health and diet!! You keep me motivated to eat healthy and not get frustrated or depressed about what I shouldn't eat, but to look at the positive about what healthy things I can eat and how good my body will feel when I do. I would love to see a video on recipes or food recommendations you have! Thank you so much for these videos, it's so nice to know we're not alone in these hormonal/reproductive system struggles! 😁

I like how simple it was explained and the concept became easy to digest. Will try updating ny diet and hopefully I can also do what you did and have clearer skin as well. Thanks!

[@dxstopia]

how was it?

[@katokafu]

English is not my first language, (I’m like B2 I guess. I doubt being C1 lol) but I’ve understood literally EVERYTHING. Thank you SO MUCH for this video. I’m on Roaccutane now and my skin has never looked better than now, BUT I found out that genetically my body produce more androgen and testosterone than it has to and now I’m very afraid to get my acne back……But luckily I’ve just found this video, it’s just blowed up on my recommendations. I’m so glad I’ve found it, cause my dermatologist has told things like “Acne is an independent disease it rarely relies on your diet. Some ppl eat burgers every single day and still don’t get any breakouts”, but still she says “try to reduce sugar, products that contain high glycemic index and diary”. Now I understand WHY. I really hope for my skin to stay at the certain condition that it is now, but in order to prevent dramatic breakouts I guess I have to try this out, cause as I remember I feel myself WAAAAAAY BETTER when I eat healthier, less sugar, less diary, more veggies, more fruits etc. I’ve been thinking about paying attention to my diet for the last 1-3 weeks I guess, but after this video I will DEFINITELY watch myself and learn more about it.

[@leviwaifu7609]

Literally what I've been going through and I was frustrated. Thankyou so much❤️

Totally 💯 right I accidentally discovered this cycle of insulin resistance after trying hundreds of skin products and DIY stuff I came to realize that my food habits and my diet is the ONLY KEY 🔐 to skin perfection I am happy that I finally have an idea of what’s happening to me as a 28 yo woman who suffered from acne my whole life

[@rushini_fonseka6381]

Thanks for giving us your research about those stuff and you explained it so well 🙌🏽I had those acnes and my tummy was getting huge and I'm having PCOS since I remember. actually weight lose will helps to cool our body and drinking water also a big help for that because the high body heat can effect to the body hormones however. so weight lose, cutting all the carbs and maintain our BMI is the best way to reduce those extra hormones.

I’ve never had such bad skin my entire 26 years until this year! I’m so insecure and feel like crying sometimes because it looks so bad, it hurts and it’s itchy. I’m going to start eating healthier to help my skin get better because at this point I’m so desperate to get rid of this terrible phase that my skin is dealing with.

[@lovettebubechi7185]

I'm so sorry you have to go through all this, two years ago I had the same problem, I was so depressed I watched many videos and found Dr Berg started doing intermittent fasting, it worked but I recently moved to another city and the acne came back in full force no matter what I did I just discovered rice is the culprit. If you can cut off all carbs for now and combine it intermittent fasting. The only you'll struggle with are the scars.hope this helps.

[@Kleissure]

Thank you very much for this. Looking forward for more. And btw your foundation looks flawless!!! ❤

[@teaganfunderburk6970]

This was such a great and informative video! Thank you!

[@notjustonemedium]

Thank you for making this video! It was so informative and helpful. I’ve always struggled with acne, but it had calmed down after I took accutane last year. However just recently, I noticed I got a bunch of under jaw acne, I thought it was just from stress, but I had a feeling it was something else so I was searching for some videos. I was so happy to find yours and the fact that it was uploaded just 2 weeks ago made me feel like I wasn’t alone. Thank you Fel :D 🤍 also, your videos remind me of bio crash courses, but my brain is actually taking in the info LOL

Listen to your body, it's designed to protect itself. Give it what it needs and it will love you in return ❤️

Explaining the relationship between sugar, carbs, insulin and hormone levels really helped me to understand this vicious cycle. They used to say it but I didnt get, now I know why I should avoid from certain foods, not as a basic prohibition but as a well-explained and understood cause of my lately hormonal acne. It was under control for couple of years, that I'm on birth control pills but recently, for couple of months it came back even though I'm still on the medication and nothing could stop it. I'm gonna reorganize my nutrition style. I used to avoid from certain oils, as we all know it causes acne, but I didnt get why sugar or non oily carbs may cause acne. Your video really helped me. Thank you!

[@allthingshraddha]

Thank you so much for this information! I went for a trip recently and ate lots of junk food (including meat, which I don’t eat that often) and the area near my cheeks started to get bumpy. I thought it could go away after exfoliation but it ended up triggering really painful acne. I love skincare and I was sure it wasn’t breakouts to skincare products but something deeper. Thank you for explaining!

I had gone completely sugar free, but once I cracked because of stress, i immediately noticed the return of my cystic acne, and tried to throw every acne treatment at it before realising i was damaging my skin barrier and needed to just modify my diet :')

So glad I came across this video of yours. I missed one cycle of my periods and exactly at that time I was also going through a tough phase. I was eating out all the time to get some joy out of life. And I had exactly the same acne as you. It’s crazy how the body works. Just wanted to say ,thanks for all the meaningful advice. 💯💯💯

My doctor prescribed adapalene gel. Talk to your doctors about it. I’m still on day 2 but he said it will take about 6-8 weeks til I see a difference. What happens is with this gel it becomes worse before it gets better

[@kimmiewagner5628]

You did such an amazing job explaining this👏🙌 great information! BEANS are our best friend (it’s also high in zinc). I would also look into the Glucose Goddess. She makes balancing your blood sugar very simple. Essentially, one of the tips is, try eating veggies (fibre) first, then proteins and fats and finally carbs (in that order and don’t over do the carbs of course). This will really help your gut, insulin, liver and your skin. Eating this way will also help with irregular periods, moods, painful periods, acne and etc. Jess from Glucose Goddess has loads of tips for this. Just wanted to share what’s helping with my PCOS and acne atm.

[@aminan7486]

FEL AND BEAUTYWITHIN, there is not a lot of info on YT regarding insulin resistance and hormonal acne. Please believe me when I say that your coverage on this topic is helping MILLIONS of people who are struggling, myself included. There are so many of us who have lived through several years with a lessened quality of life due to our adult hormonal acne- searching for the root cause, this. PLEASE PLEASE share more content/information about hormonal acne and insulin resistance. We are so eager to watch and learn more! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@BeautyWithin]

Aww so glad it could also help you hopefully understand a little but more about potentially what's going on with your body and skin! Thank you for watching and learning with me, more to come I promise 😊💗🙏 Fel xx

[@emilimentt]

That's a great , easy explanation! I'm an obgyn and a lot of patients could regulate their period like Fel without the need for medication... of course insulin resistance is not the only cause of acne or lack of menstrual period but it's really common... and we should all start by having a healthy body 💖

[@leilani2258]

I started Keto 2 weeks ago and after watching this video I realized my face is looking the best it has been in along time! I cut out processed sugar and reduced my sugar intake drastically. And I also cut out starchy foods. Focused more on vegetables and meat, and it all makes sense now! Our bodies really are amazing.

[@BeautyWithin]

omg woww that's awesome to hear!! keto is something that i've only ever looked briefly into, but I'm so happy you found a routine that works for you since at the end of the day, that's all that matters! and of course, something that gives you joy too! our bodies are soooo crazy, i love it!! and always learning more about it, so you shall be hearing all about the new tidbits in my future videos hahah. thanks for sharing! - fel x

Yep! I have a hormone imbalance I deal with from primary ovarian failure syndrome. Diet plays a huge role in how I feel and how my skin looks. It's so instant how bad or good it can get based on my eating habits.

[@colleenurquhart4558]

Wow such an interesting video. Totally relate to the feeling the effect of excess sugar before you see it in your skin. Would love to learn more about this an the liver. Great video!

Mine is the same as yours and I couldn’t figured why, now I know why! So glad that answers my questions. Now I need to change my eating habits cannot wait to have a healthy balance diet

[@candicefoy]

I think one thing to keep in mind is stress. I've always been pretty diligent about my diet but when I moved to another country and experienced stress for an extended period of time, it really messed up my hormones and skin. It was frustrating because I was like omg I literally do all the right diet things and have cured my acne before! But I have found balancing cortisol to be equally important and sometimes more challenging to balance. Love your videos :)

[@kamilahdammit]

How do u balance out ur hormones? Cuz I’ve literally tried everything and I don’t know what to do. No matter how clean I eat, how much water I drink, how much sleep or exercise I get, my acne gets worse and worse and no doctor or anyone can help me

[@candicefoy]

@@kamilahdammit I’m going to do a video on this soon. I feel your pain! I’ve had two major shifts in my hormones that I needed to correct. Once after getting of the pill and once in my 30s. So I’ve definitely learned a lot over the last 10 years

[@jessicaa9470]

@@candicefoy This is so crazy. My cystic acne definitely reignited when I traveled abroad for a month. I had no idea why but I definitely think cortisol and the diet change did it.
