I have a rather bizarre observation to share with you about how my acne sometimes will alternate places. This happened especially when I was suffering from acne badly just when I was a teen and in my twenties, and it still will occasionally happen to me today when the ol’ stressors start to wear on my skin. Stress is my biggest acne trigger, by far today. I would say my biggest triggers for acne to this day are, number one stress and anxiety about particular events or about some particular situation or quandary, and number two, from stimulants like coffee and other caffeinated and stimulant-laced drinks, pills, supplements, and medications. I’ve always observed, especially in the last five years or so, I guess my acne has “evolved”, that I will either break out on my face or on my back, but it’s never both at one time. For example, shortly after my Las Vegas wedding and when I weened off of the Zenmed Dermacleanse supplements , I noticed that my back broke out but my face was clear and pristine, almost clearer than it had ever been really. So, while it was nice that my face was extremely clear, it wasn’t so nice that my back had broken out in its place. Conversely, the acne seemed to shift, and for a few days my face broke out after that while my back was mostly cleared up. Very odd! I can’t really think of a scientific or logical explanation for it that would be plausible, but there it is, that’s how it happened, and how it has happened on and off for a while. I have since started back on the Dermacleanse and everything is cleared up now, shoot, now I’m just waiting to break out again because we are planning a reception for the early spring, and then we’ll have all that planning and stress to deal with – fun!
