Heya - I have a long overdue skin update for y'all... Since I came of the oral contraceptive pill ~7 months ago, my skin has been consistently breaking out with hormonal acne. Today's video is an update of the past month - I went and sought some medical advice on how I can clear my acne once again... My acne is nowhere near as severe as when I first when on roaccutane back in 2019, but my dermatologist and I decided it would be beneficial to take a low-dose course of accutane for the next 9-12 months (here we go again?! Positivity is key!). Always keeping it real with you guys and taking you along for my skin journey - although I would prefer to say my acne never ever came back!

I'll be posting monthly-ish updates in the new year of this next journey... Come along for the ride!

dealing with persistent acne is tough. this video resonated with my struggles after stopping birth control, facing a return of acne. like the content creator, I sought help, considering Accutane. it brings back memories of my own journey with Aspect Health, addressing hormonal imbalances. not an ad, just sharing my story. if you're navigating acne and hormonal concerns, seeking professional advice is crucial. wishing the content creator a positive journey ahead.

Love your videos. Youre amazing! Thanks so much for sharing your journey with us. Im currently on 80 MG a day of Accutane. Im doing a 6 month course and may do longer if needed. Hopefully Accutane does the trick for you permanently & I cant wait to see your results!!

Good to see your lovely face again, Brianna. Sorry it's not for the best of reasons. Wishing you a wonderful 2024. Stay tenacious :)

If you get off all those meds (under medical guidence, of course), and cut your daily carbohydrate intake below 20g, your acne issues will resolve in two to three months. You're getting skin issues and PCOS symptoms because your blood sugar is high all the time (a.k.a. chronic hyperglycemia). It's the high blood sugars that cause the insulin resistance and hormone imbalances that result in acne and other PCOS symptoms. Keeping your carbs below 20g per day allows your blood sugar levels to drop down to normal levels and prevents blood sugar spikes. Trying to treat PCOS (acne, etc) with meds is like playing the moving target game at the county fair — you can do it, but good luck dialing in all the moving parts. Trying to treating PCOS by controlling blood sugar levels via diet is like shooting at a stationary target in your backyard. Happy to explain more, answer questions, or address concerns. Happy to help make a custom meal plan with you if you are interested. Peace and love. ❤
