"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

It's nothing heavy, mostly light zits on my forehead, reddish skin on my cheekbones and some small zits around my jaw area, I've been putting some regular cream for a while, tried cream based with cortisone, it temporarily make things better but never really resolves the issue. To anyone who had similar issues, what was your solution?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Drinking lots of water and eating healthy worked for me when I was a kid.

I would imagine a good exercise routine is recommended as well.

I bet those creams may work but honestly good diet and exercise always helps. Its the only way I stay in shape. I am 28 but I look 21 still (with a beard no less)

One of my work buddies tipped me off to using Vitamin E. I was 28 then, now I'm 55 and I still keep some around. I get the cheap grocery store variety, 400iu, take up to four a day for serious outbreaks, less for maintenance.
It's way better than anything else I've tried, OTC or prescription. The first time I took it, I could almost feel my skin going "Ah!"

Do you wash/moisturize your face now? What's your regimen currently?

I suggest 2.5% benzoyl peroxide (i.e. Neutrogena On-The-Spot). Apply this aggressively to pimples and they should go away pretty quickly. If it's bad enough then you can apply it to your entire face once or even twice daily before moisturizing.

Also placing a warm damp washcloth on your face for 15-20 minutes daily. If you have a particularly bad pimple you can put a warm washcloth on it for a while and it will help a LOT (follow up with washing, On-The-Spot and moisturizing too).
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Try stabilizing your insulin levels. Insulin spikes promotes acne.

Thanks guys

I guess my first step is eating more healthy and exercise more, now that I think about it, I started getting my outbreaks shortly after I stopped working out due to an injury and it got gradually worse (and now I eat so much junk food -_-) and I guess I can try vitamin E for starters in addition to the moisturizers, if it doesn't work I'll go for heavier stuff (not a fan though)

Acne is caused by Candida.

Look it up.

To get rid of it:

Eat garlic
Eat Coconut

Cut out all sugar, no soft drinks e.t.c, this includes sweetners.

Cut out yeast foods, if possible - no beer, no bread - Drink wine instead of lagers till it clears.

See results.

Vitamin E wont do jack - Water isn't a cure, it's drinking fluids that don't contain sugar (this includes fruit and Juices, since fruit contains alot of natural sugar). For example you can drink decaffinated tea or coffee (caffiene aggrivates the problem, it increases your blood flow, and if you have candida it sends more toxins to your pores). - you can have wine to a moderate degree.

I suggest you do some research on Candida, THIS IS YOUR CAUSE.

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=acne+candida&meta=&aq=f&oq=

Creams will get rid of them for a while, but it's like adding bleach to a stagnant pond it will clear the pond but it wont get rid of the underlining problem.

If you want me to give you a step by step daily guide and offer suggestions for food, send me a PM - I Guarantee you'll see a result in a week.

i started lifting and eating healthy/ eating a whole lot of food everyday and this surprising cleared me up. i would get some zits but then they would go away much faster and they come in less frequency. what derms say about diet not affecting your acne is really untrue.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
