Liquidex Causing Serious Skin Dryness?

[Frackal]

I'm coming off right now, in recovery mode and using a bit more than 1mg of liquidex a day. Lately my skin has been abhorently dry, so I'm wondering if it's because my estrogen levels are probably very low.... I am using GLA, EFAs, a moisturizer with evening primrose oil, COQ10 and I added a 100mg cap of r-ala. But my skin is still extremely dry and acneish. Only on my face. Is there anything I can do to counteract this?

Estrogen makes the skin plumper

just look at womens faces compared to mens.

Cut back to 0.5mgs/day.

EFA's arent necessary if you use GLA.

Same with primrose.

CoQ10 bites. r-ala is much better.

Well I kinda want to keep the ldex high since I'm trying to recover....do you think it is responsible for my actual skin DRYness though?

I think its more likely the drastic change in hormonal levels than the ldex itself. My skin always changes a lot at start of cycle and post cycle when hormone levels are fluctuating the most.

Hey bro, I know you are already on some oils BUT nothing compares to Flas (3 tb spoos/day) for re-hydrating my skin! I even notice it's too oily when I used to take 4 tb spoons/day. Good luck.

Incorrect assumption.

GLA is formed from EFA's.

Taking GLA obliterates the need to take EFA's.

Fonz, I don't think you read my post correctly I am stating that in my opinion Flax is superior at saturating the skin FOR ME and I get a great hydrating look and feel (skin) when taking 3 tb spoons of Flax/day. I am NOT comparing the superiority of EFA's from oil to oil.

It happened to me and I had to go to a dermatoligist,
and it took a month to recover


that was two months ago,

Now I am on it again, no problem ---go figure,

good luck

BINGO! The dryness is a result od the reduction in androgens. Stay the course.
