Congested Acne: How to manage Food Related Acne
Summary
TLDRThis video discusses a common yet often misdiagnosed type of acne related to diet. The speaker explains that this acne is not caused by oil but by the gut's reaction to certain foods, particularly dairy and high-fat items. By identifying the acne's location on the face, which correlates to specific internal organs, viewers can understand its root cause. The video emphasizes the importance of eliminating these foods and suggests that, with proper extraction and dietary changes, significant skin improvement can be achieved within a few months.
Takeaways
- π½οΈ Food-related acne is often misdiagnosed and treated with medications that do not address the root cause, which is linked to diet and gut health.
- π§ββοΈ The skin, being the largest organ of elimination, can show signs of internal issues, such as acne related to food intolerances or sensitivities.
- π Face mapping suggests that certain areas of the face correspond to different internal organs, with food-related acne often appearing around the small and large intestine areas.
- π€’ Food-related acne presents as tiny white bumps under the skin, not painful or containing pus, and is a sign of congestion rather than an infection.
- π« Key dietary culprits for this type of acne include dairy products, soy milk, peanut butter, egg yolks, and oily fish like salmon, which may not agree with some individuals' bodies.
- π¨ββοΈ Medications are not effective for this type of acne; instead, dietary changes and extraction of the congestion are necessary for improvement.
- π΅ There may be a hereditary component to food-related acne, with a family history of cholesterol issues or similar skin conditions being common.
- π Identifying and eliminating the problematic foods from one's diet can lead to significant skin improvements within a few months.
- π½οΈ The importance of understanding one's body type and dietary needs is emphasized, as what works for one person may not work for another.

- π΅ The speaker's extensive experience (42 years and over a hundred thousand facials) highlights the rarity of cases where dietary changes alone do not improve skin conditions, suggesting that other health issues like gallbladder problems or autoimmune diseases might be at play.
Q & A
What type of acne is discussed in the video script?
-The video script discusses food-related acne, which is often misdiagnosed and treated with prescription medication instead of addressing the underlying dietary issues.
Why is the gut important in relation to acne?
-The gut is important because it plays a role in the elimination process of the body. If someone is not eating foods that support their body type, it can manifest as acne on the skin.
How is food-related acne different from regular pimples?
-Food-related acne is characterized by tiny white bumps under the skin without pus, and it doesn't hurt when touched. It's a form of congestion rather than inflammation like regular pimples.
What areas of the face are most affected by food-related acne according to face mapping?
-According to face mapping, the areas most affected by food-related acne are around the small intestine (cheek area) and the large intestine (jawline and mouth area).
What dietary factors are commonly associated with food-related acne?
-Dietary factors associated with food-related acne include the consumption of dairy products, soy milk, peanut butter, egg yolks, and oily fish like salmon.
Why are dairy products considered a trigger for food-related acne?
-Dairy products are considered a trigger because they are high in fat and can cause congestion in the body, especially if the individual has a family history of cholesterol issues or difficulty breaking down fats.
What is the role of the gallbladder in relation to acne?
-The gallbladder plays a role in processing certain types of fats. If it's not functioning well, it can contribute to the development of acne, especially if the individual consumes foods that are difficult for their body to break down.
How long does it typically take to see improvement in skin after changing dietary habits for food-related acne?
-The script suggests that within two to three months, and possibly even less time, one can expect to see a significant improvement in the skin after adjusting dietary habits.
What is the recommended approach for treating food-related acne besides dietary changes?
-In addition to dietary changes, the recommended approach includes extraction of the congestion bumps, using non-foaming gel cleansers, aloe-based healing products, and chemical or enzyme exfoliants.
Why are non-foaming gel cleansers preferred over foaming cleansers for acne-prone skin?
-Non-foaming gel cleansers are preferred because they are less likely to cause irritation or further congestion, and they can still effectively cleanse the skin without stripping it.
What are some common makeup brands that may cause congestion for certain individuals?
-The script does not specify the brands but mentions that there are a few brands that can cause congestion, especially for those with acne-prone or congested skin.
Outlines
π½οΈ Food-Related Acne and Gut Health
The speaker discusses a common misdiagnosis of acne that is actually related to diet. They explain that this type of acne is often mistakenly treated with medications that address oil production, when the real issue is gut health. The skin is the largest organ of elimination, and if the diet doesn't support the individual's body type, it can manifest as acne. The speaker introduces the concept of face mapping, highlighting areas of the face that correspond to different internal organs, particularly the small and large intestines, which are often affected by food-related acne. They describe the acne as small white bumps under the skin, not painful or filled with pus, and differentiate it from other types of acne like nodules or papules. The speaker emphasizes the importance of understanding family history, particularly regarding cholesterol issues, and suggests that certain fats, including dairy products and high-fat foods, may be culprits in causing this type of acne.
π« Eliminating Trigger Foods for Acne
This paragraph delves deeper into the dietary changes necessary to address food-related acne. The speaker stresses that certain body types may react differently to specific diets, such as the Atkins diet, which can be healthy for some but lead to high cholesterol in others due to its emphasis on dairy and meat products. They underline the importance of recognizing individual differences and family history in determining dietary needs. The speaker advises against consuming certain foods, including dairy, soy milk, peanut butter, and egg yolks, which can contribute to acne due to their fat content. They also mention that some individuals may not process certain oils, like those found in salmon, effectively, leading to skin issues. The speaker suggests that removing these foods from one's diet, along with extracting the existing acne, can lead to significant skin improvement within a short period, typically one to three months.
π§ββοΈ Treating Acne Through Lifestyle and Product Choices
In the final paragraph, the speaker discusses additional factors that can contribute to acne, such as the use of comedogenic makeup and sunblock brands. They mention that congestion can occur around the cheeks due to certain products, and they plan to list specific brands that may not be suitable for individuals with acne-prone skin. The speaker also provides skincare advice, recommending non-foaming gel cleansers, double cleansing, and the use of warm washcloths for effective cleansing. They suggest using aloe-based healing products and chemical or enzymatic exfoliants to promote skin regeneration. The importance of using lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizers and physical sunblocks is highlighted to prevent further congestion. The speaker concludes by encouraging viewers to subscribe to their Instagram for more tips and lives, and they express hope that the information provided is helpful for those dealing with acne.

hello everybody so today i'm going to
talk about a type of acne that
is so misdiagnosed and it has to do with
foods
a lot of the time when people have this
type of acne and i'm going to show you
in a picture right here what that looks
like
food related acne is often given
medication and prescription medication
to clear up
when it really has nothing to do with
oil
it has to do with the gut the gut is
obviously very important for our
life for for our health and it's really
important to understand
that the skin is the largest organ of
elimination so if you're not eating
foods
that support your body type your system
it is going to come out and it's going
to show you in a way
that is really interesting so i've
talked about
face mapping in the past and one of the
the areas that's
most prevalent with this food related
acne is going to be this area here
so in face mapping you've got your small
intestine here
you've got very high up around the eye
here the stomach area
and then you've got down here you've got
the large intestine so it's really
important to understand that because
when you start to get those
tiny tiny little white bumps under the
skin here it's usually around the small
intestine area here
that you're going to see them appear and
then they will spread down into the
large intestine which is going to come
down here
underneath this jawline now food-related
acne is not a pimple
it doesn't have pus in it it doesn't
hurt when you touch it
they're not nodules or papules it is
congestion
they are white bumps under the skin and
on some people
you see like so many of them and it'll
spread and it comes down around
here around the mouth area too because
this area here being
small intestine large intestine around
the mouth then be is the the female sex
organs the
the ovaries you know if you're eating
certain types of fat that your body just
doesn't work well with
then it's going to come out and show you
and later in life
is is when you could have you know
higher cholesterol
so people that usually tend to have
these little bumps under the skin all
this congestion
they're going to if you ask them in the
family if someone has cholesterol issues
there's usually going to be mother
father grandparents
um and you know sometimes you know they
also have the little bumps their parents
their grandparents as well
but it it what it does mean is that your
body doesn't break down those fats now
let me tell you what those fats are
that is going to be your dairy so your
cheese
your milk and even soy milk even you
know though it's
not considered a dairy it is very thick
in that it's nourishing as well um you
know it's
um it's got it's it's high in fat so
no cheese no milk no ice cream
no dairy um period no soy milk no peanut
butter that's a very very oily peanut
and it is a major problem for a lot of
people with acne so anybody who has acne
i take them off
um of peanuts and especially food
related acting you know
termed acne which are tiny little bumps
under the skin
so egg yolks is another one no egg yolks
and
um you know i've also found that some of
the omegas like a lot of
you know the fish especially salmon is
very oily
and although omegas three and six are
really great
in that they are a very good vitamin for
a lot of people
um that just can't use that particular
oil they don't break it down well it is
going to be a problem and
of course as the the fried foods and
things like that too you want to stay
away from those types of things so
fat in general so those tiny tiny little
bumps under the skin if you do have them
coming out on your
your skin you've had that issue going on
in your stomach it just didn't happen
yesterday or last week or last month
it's been going on for some times and
it's usually years
okay so it comes out it's showing you
it's not working in here usually you get
bloating to like you're not feeling good
when you have dairy a lot of the time
and so intuitively a lot of people know
that already
but you know as i said these types of
little bumps under the skin here it's a
major major problem
and you've really got to look at the
food um you know as i said before
earlier
um you know a lot of people they'll go
and see
about this type of acne and it's
misdiagnosed they're given a pill
pills don't work on this type of acne
you have to take people off foods
and if i take people off foods um i
you you see within a very short time two
or three
months for sure even less time you're
going to see a major
improvement in the skin so if you have
that type of acne
it doesn't hurt when you touch it tiny
time lots of little bumps under the skin
um and it starts spreading down here
usually starts here we'll start
spreading down here
um then those are the foods that you
have to stay off
as i said it is a certain type of body
types or
everyone we're all different um it's
it's why
you know someone could be on the atkins
diet and be
very very healthy and not have high
cholesterol and then you take another
body type
and you put that person on the atkins
diet which again atkins is cheese
meat all these things beef you know um
they
eat that atkins diet and they could end
up with high cholesterol so you have to
understand that we are all different
and um and what we bring into this world
from our parents and our grandparents
it influences our body today
so it's important that you understand
that it's not
you know for people that have these
issues here and
congestion tons of congestion and it
starts spreading down
you have to look at your diet you have
to go off those foods and i'm telling
you
it will make the difference of night and
day um
the other thing is that you have to have
it extracted
so it doesn't usually go away on its own
once it's come out
you have to it's not a millia you know
although you know millie is also is a
fatty type
substance that will just build and build
and build and stay there for a long time
millia's you can also get from you know
a very very nourishing eye cream for
instance
um or sometimes when people have had
surgery around their eyes
and they've had to use like a vaseline
something that is
um like a raincoat that type of a
substance
you also give you millia's you know in
very very nourishing
overly nourishing products that
accomadogenic can give you a millia
which is a fatty substance that usually
has to be removed with a needle
um now or just pricked with a needle
that's that's how you have to remove
millions now these
other types that i'm talking about the
food related
congestion bumps they can be squeezed
without a needle so and they will come
out
so it's this area here as i said tiny
little bumps
and you have to get it out you've got to
have it extracted
it will not go away on its own it's an
easy easy skin to fix
um as long as people stay away from
those foods
and you know maybe you know later in
life things can change your body change
your organs regenerate
so it doesn't mean that you're going to
always have to stay off dairy
but you know likely um it it could too
it could mean that but it just
you know our bodies change and and as
you get older and i'm
older um you know that you know you kind
of
things just start to change and you know
what foods make you feel good
and what foods don't so it's a really
important one and as i said
incredibly misdiagnosed i cannot even
believe
the amount of people that get
misdiagnosed for this type of um
acne but it um it is
it's so easy easy easy to fix okay
so um you know and again the products
that i'm going to put somebody on
really are secondary you cannot get rid
of this
this type of acne if you are not
extracting it number one
and number two if you're still eating
those foods so
a huge priority is got to go off those
foods
and and then you're going to start to
see a huge change in the skin
now occasionally and i would say
probably in the 42 years i've been doing
hands-on work
i would say that there's a handful of
people
that even once i took them off the foods
their skin did not improve
eighty percent like it should it
improved
20 or 30 percent and what i realized is
that occasionally sometimes
if they have gallbladder issues um
you know the gall bladder is important
for
dealing with certain types of fats too
so
sometimes if the gallbladder isn't a
strong
organ then it's going to be a little bit
of an
issue too but it's so rare i mean in 42
years and doing over a hundred thousand
facials
um it is um it's so rare but i have seen
that and i have seen
it to um be you know to do with the gall
bladder
um so you know some sometimes a certain
auto i'm
immune diseases that um that make things
a little bit difficult to treat
but you you do get progress with it but
it's the progress sometimes it's a
little bit slower
uh usually you know within even within a
month
if somebody is you know not dealing with
an autoimmune
not dealing with issues with a
gallbladder then you are going to see a
major change in somebody's skin within a
month
and you know having a facial or two
facials having the extractions done
going off those foods if there's an
autoimmune you're talking
maybe it's going to take you three
months um so that's just the difference
but
it is it's a very very easy acne to
treat
and i say acne i don't really look at it
as acne if
if i'm just dealing with that type of
skin
the other thing that can happen is you
can get congestion up in this area here
in where people do apply their blush and
that will happen
often just from you know using a certain
type of blush
brand or brands that are very
comedogenic so
sometimes you will see congestion from
from product or makeup and and sometimes
sunblock too when it is
certain brands that just are not
fabulous in um
for skin for face sunblock they're
probably better for body
but um but some there's a couple of
brands that i'm not
you know i'm not keen on for people that
that deal with this type of congestion
and um i will put those names
in underneath here um it's not to say
that
they're bad makeups they're just bad for
certain people with a certain skin
because it can cause congestion and i've
seen it with three particular brands
um a lot um over the years like
in fact you know just so much because
most of my business
in my treatment space is for
is dealing with agnetic skins so i'm
dealing with people that
easily get congested and easily you know
have larger pores and things so
i will put those three brands in the
bottom as i said they're beautiful
makeups to look at
and they they're fabulous for some
people but they're not if you
you have and you suffer with congestion
so
so i hope this is helpful to you um you
know it's as i said once you
once you get that under control there
are certain types of
um products that that i would put you on
just in the very beginning
and it's going to be that non-foaming
gel gelate
cleanser i do not like foaming cleanses
as you all know i've said it a gazillion
times
make sure you are cleansing your face
really well you're doing a good job when
you are washing your face
i do have a video on just how to wash
your face because you need to be doing
it extra well at night
counting to at least 30 double cleansing
using a warm weight washcloth take it
off
you need some type of healing product to
deal with this type of acne usually
usually an
aloe based one is great it's great to
have an exfoliant
that's chemical slash enzyme one that
absorbs dead cells
and uh and just helps some give that
surface regeneration to the skin
has a buffing effect that's also really
important
and um and you don't want to use
anything you know too
much too heavy you want to keep your
things light
so you want to use you know moisturizers
that are
more not definitely non-comedogenic
make sure your your sunblocks are your
physical sunblocks and again
non-comedogenic very important when
you're prone to congestion
so i hope this was helpful to you and i
will be putting some things
underneath so you can see um
you know just some more products and
things that if you
have that issue and some recommendations
of what you can use
so subscribe to my um my instagram guys
if you're not already i do give a lot of
tips on there i do lives
and it was good to see you all again and
i'll be back to see you soon bye
