How Do You Treat Horrendous Acne? [Sunday December 20th, 2009 at 9:54pm] veganism [autumndandelion] [ mood | ugly ] [ music | Trans-Siberian Orchestra ] ( Please help... ) My acne is absolutely out of control. I'm thirty years old and have struggled with severe acne since my teens. But a year before I went vegan, my dermatologist and I finally found a combination of treatments that resulted in much, much better skin. I went on Aviane birth control pills, I took Doxycycline daily, and I used Tetronoin cream daily as well. After I went vegan, I dumped all of those medications. The Aviane is totally not vegan as they contain animal hormones. The Doxycyline capsules have gelatin on them, and I don't know about the ingredients in the Tetronoin cream, but all three are FDA approved and therefore have been tested on animals countless times. I can't remember where I'd read it. I think it was on here, but nobody tagged it, so I can't find the post. Someone suggested washing your face with salt to draw out the infection, then applying tea tree oil and lavender oil. I've been doing that, but I'm an absolute mess. Does anybody have any other ideas of what might help? By the way, my skin is on the dry side. After being oily for years, I guess age caught up with me, and I'm drying out like a mummy. Thanks in advance for any advice y'all might have. 33 comments|++

ATTN any knitters... [Thursday December 17th, 2009 at 8:12am] veganism [sweeplotus] I'm trying to make a coat for this winter, but I'm having trouble finding a vegan yarn that's really warm. The closest I've got is Blue Skies Cotton; does anyone have a suggestion? Thank you! 2 comments|++

People who "turn" Veg ask for help then ignore me. [Saturday December 19th, 2009 at 2:23pm] veganism [stevewood] I've been working at the same place for almost 2 years so everyone knows I'm a vegan.  Recently a couple of female co-workers, one of them 3 weeks ago and the other just this week, each told me that they are going to become vegetarian/vegan...citing a movie or something that showed animals being slaughtered...and asked me about my diet.  But, when I offer to share an excel spreadsheet with them and help them to figure out what vitamins, proteins, & other nutrients they will need and how to find out what foods satisfy those requirements they act very uninterested and don't even mention it afterwards. It makes no sense to me...anyone care to enlighten me? 21 comments|++

[Monday December 14th, 2009 at 12:41am] veganism [noodlebug24] I've googled and googled and I cannot for the life of me find this product (except on asianproducts which gives NO info).. Esinti Tango air freshener- does anyone know if this company tests on animals? It's in my Associated Supermarket (in US) and I like the scents but will not buy if tested. ++

Dockers. [Thursday December 10th, 2009 at 4:46pm] veganism [hopita] Dockers suck. Because, according to them, "real men" need to "step away from the salad bar." 24 comments|++
