I finally did some research and experimentation on my own, and my complexion is now clear and calm and comfortable.  I no longer hide under layers of makeup morning to night.

 

I did this by eliminating nightshades from my diet:  no more potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, chili powder in any form or amount, processed or whole.  I also stopped using moisturizers with harsh acidic anti-aging ingredients and switched to sparingly used water-based organic products.  

 

I can still trigger a quick flush that lasts an hour or two – all it takes is a handful of potato chips and the reaction is immediate.
