I have been doing a lot of thinking about Vitamin D and acne. Although I am 99.99% clear right now, back in the summer of 2008, I was 110% clear. Literally, I did NOT have even the smallest mark on my face
Clear In Summer, But Not Winter!
Does Vitamin D Help Acne?
For whatever reason, after summer ended, my acne came right back. A lot of people state that my acne came back because of high stress levels and lack of sleep, due to work and school.
I think my acne came back because I wasn't getting any more Vitamin D!
This really came to my attention a few weeks back. I was thinking about it, and I asked myself, "Why was my skin amazing back in the summer of 2008?" What's one thing you get in the summer that you don't get in the winter?...

Acne.Org Poster Says Vitamin D Supplement Cleared Their Skin!
Here's a quote from their story!
"It's hard to believe it could be so simple, yet it kind of makes sense: I never had acne until moving from Arizona to Seattle, and, it always got worse in the winter. The only other time I had acne in my life was while still living in Arizona, I tried a brief stint of eating a very, very low-fat diet (yes, I was young and foolish), and wearing sunscreen religiously; perhaps since vitamin D is fat-soluble, and I was avoiding the sun, I was just unable to synthesize or absorb it. And, sure enough, once I abandoned the low-fat foolishness, the acne disappeared as well. Until I moved to Seattle, that is, when it returned with a vengeance."
Vitamin D Deficiency Acne?
Could a deficiency in Vitamin D be one of the major causes of acne?
If you don't want to supplement, try getting at least a half in hour of sun every day. See what it does for your skin, and your overall health.
Ever since I began taking supplements, my skin has had more of a natural glow, and has seemed to even clear up a little more than it already is. I would definitely give Vitamin D a try!
