4.1 4 ratings

Here comes another one. How long will it stay? You creams, prescriptions and maybe even Accutane. You have listened to everyone who offered a quick fix for acne to no avail!

So why do you still have acne? Zits are smart and no two zits are created equal. The reason Joe Maloney has acne is completely different from the reason why Suzy Que is breaking out. If you want the zits to go away, you need to understand why they arrived on your face in the first place. If you want your zits to leave and stay away, you need to decode the messages of your unique zits.

Though the approach may sound bizarre, pimples are packed with insights about your lifestyle and bodily needs. Acne Messages is designed to guide you to understand the dietary, emotional and physical needs that each pimple on your face reveals.

Zits do not come to torture you or ruin your day. They arrive as a reminder of what your body needs for optimal health. Acne Messages will help you to cultivate a new appreciation for your case of acne so that you can unravel the enriching messages behind your zits, enhance your health and say goodbye to acne.

I know that we, acne sufferes, are vulnerable people that want to get rid of this condition that carries such a heavy stigma as quickly as possible.
But if you're considering buying this book and get the best out of it, read it with an open mind and a positive atitude.
San-Joyz offers an aproach other than the traditional methods used, which is more holistic as well as affordable.
The book is well organized and easy to read, but above all, you've got to put this knowledge into practice.
Like any other book of this kind it's up to you to decide what works for you and stick with it.
I never quite understood why I've had an acne outbreak. I'm 54 years old and had a pimple once in a while but nothing out of extraordinary.
In this book I've found out why my face was breaking out: I had a poor protein digestion wich provoked acne inflammations.
The reason I'm so sure of that is because when my acne problem starded I was on a high protein diet wich was particularly though on me, considering I'm vegetarian.
At that time I was chewing meat just enough to be able to swallow it quickly since I've never liked it much, and that led to a poor protein digestion.
I quit eating meat and replaced it with some protein bars, now my skin started clearing out.
So basically this is what this book does, it helps you find out the cause of your acne, so that you can heal thoroughly.
I have to agree with the author, acne does have a message for you. Thank you Naweko!

Use Acne Messages Don't Just Read It

Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2005

It's sounds like the first reviewer only read the Amazon.com Look Inside pages to write a book for Acne Messages. Shall we say, incomplete review. Acne Messages answers a ton of questions about acne, from why people get acne as adults to what you should expect from your own anti-acne program. The book is full of solid research from medical journals and San-Joyz's own research on acne.

Anybody annoyed to death with acne and run of the mill acne advice will find this book to be a real breakthrough.

This book discusses hormones, nutrition, your state of mind and a whole lot of other stuff that you would think that has absolutely nothing to do with acne. She talks about what you do everyday, like self-talk to eating, and how this affects your immune system and hormones. She then tells you how these little things can turn into a zit. It's unbelievable, but when she shows, using facts from medical journals, how your everyday choices can cause zits, you have to take note.

She then shows you want to do to reverse a zit using a face chart and organ chart.

The book is decently organized. You can for instance find a whitehead on your forehead, and she shows you step-by-step what that particular zits means, what body parts are connected to that location and then what you can do right now to make the zit go away. And, you can do all this from your home without needing to go out and buy and a lot of expensive stuff.

Acne Messages really was like nothing I had ever read before about acne. I can gladly recommend it. Just use the whole book, from page one to the index, not just the first chapter.
