What if even more earlier (8:00pm - 4:00am)? Because sometimes, the environment around me is noisy and I found myself couldn't focus on study and tired(after a day of workout). So, adjusts the timing is the only way... Maybe, you guys may point out how do you increase your focus to study effectively...

Body's inner clock, sleep & studying / Bates method

From Wai's book: <snipped> But what triggers the body to reabsorb protein from the skin? We all have an 'inner clock'. At about 6:00 a.m. the lymph starts re-absorbing protein from the skin. Lymphatics transport this protein to the liver, where most of it is broken down between 6:00 and 8:00 a.m. S...

Yeah... So, is there any way to control the sweat-attack? I have no idea why my sweat-glands is over active, people around me never seems to be that hot, although they feel hot not as much as me. It is a pain because it made my skin(whole body) feels sticky...and shiny(face) I am thin, sort of anore...

About constant heat and sweating

Does constant heat (hot weather 32-37 temp) aggravate acne? I live in pretty hot temperature area, I sweat constantly(especially T-Zone, chin and head) but not much at a time. So, if this is the situation, how should I deal with it? Adding an extra cleansing routine to maximum 3 times a day as I was...

Does orgasm aggravate acne indirectly? For example, male/sex hormone spiking and cause excessive sebum production or cause temporary water retention? Is there any correlation between orgasm and acne?

Re: Oil on face, in detail

Will sebum/oil dried up? From the Wai's book: 007 ; "sebum and skin oil are the same thing" No, no. They are both produced by the same glands, but they ARE different. Sebum is more solid, white-grey in color, while oil is colourless, and more fluid. The skin can produce much sebum and little oil, or...

Re: Dead skin cells

ok, so you wash your face only once a day? What's type of your skin, dry or oily?

How old are you? How long been on the diet?

Re: Dead skin cells

Hi ! Oscar... How bad is your acne? Are you completely clear now? You mentioned that you only wash your face while shower, so how many time a day? And when is the time, shower/bath time? Or right after you wake up from sleep in the morning and before go to bed? How did you wash your face, or with wh...

Re: Dead skin cells

I'm not sure if this happen to everyone on the diet/water-only cleansing routine+fingertips oil, but I found that my face is getting thicker and thicker, it look like the oil/sebum dried-up and stuck at the outer layer of skin OR is it the stubborn dead skin cells? I wipe with cotton pad, but it can...

sugar intake, high sebum production?

Sugar (white sugar, honey, candy), will this cause excessive sebum production? Because I remember some reading point out that refined sugar will cause high sebum production, or maybe it's a mistake?
