Hi! I recently discovered your site and I love everything I’ve seen so far. I’m not sure if you covered this before but it would be great to know more about skin care regimens for specific skin types or how to create one for our skin.
Thanks!
I would like you to tell us how to keep our skin healthy. How to maintain the health of our skin I mean.
I love your site! I would like see skin care regimens also! I am currently facing horrible break outs dealing with birth control medicine I am trying to get off of, picking, and natural make up tips reviews it seems I am constantly trying to find better more natural makeup!
cute picture of the prize!
lately i have been looking into ‘chinese face mapping’ in relation to acne/breakouts; something like that would be interesting!
More recipies for tasty whole-food and good-for-skin ingredients please!
I’ve loved watching your videos and reading the stuff you write about because it’s just so helpful. Honestly, it is. I would like you to write or talk about in a video next year about more products that worked and didn’t work. I would also like to see you talk more about more food that is good and bad for your skin.
Hi Fran! Your site is already great and comprehensive, but I’d love to learn more about controlling hormonal acne.
Hi Fran,
I would like you to write about new skin care products next year.
Thanks
Hi, Fran. Happy Holidays to you, firstly. My suggestion to you is to talk about teenager’s hormones & stress factors that can cause acne. I think you should offer suggestions to us all, both girls and boys in highschool and college dealing with all the stress of our future. Acne can really get to people, as you’ve discussed. But I’d love a segment directed specifically towards highschool and college students. You’re doing a wonderful job! Thanks.
Thank you for your thoughts. I realize that acne is not always a topic that people want to discuss with other people, yet hear you are. I would love to see more articles on developing the person as a whole as far as their self image…. I know that there are probably a lot of people who have other health related issues that contibute to seeing themselves in a bad light. Thanks
I would love for you to talk more about Chinese medicine in the new year
Hello
I would like you to explain more on hormones for us girls, why do they get out of balace? I haven`t been able to find the answer.
Thanks fran, your blog has help me a lot to improve my skin
I would like you to video/write/research about how college students can eat right seeing as how it is so hard to when surrounded by highly processed foods and no time. Thanks!
Hi Fran,
I would love to hear more about affordable skin care options for those of us on a strict budget.
: )
Thanks!
What would you like me to write or video about in High on Health next year?
At the start of the year, it would be cool to have a video on the things you have used in 2009 and tell the best and worst products.
Hello! I would like for you to talk about trimming the skin and maby about natural makeup that doesn`t do bad for the skin.
Love your site, so informative,you have been helpful in realizing my skin picking disorder as a whole.
I’d like to hear more on the effects of particular foods on your skin, hair, body.
What would I like you to write or video about next year? ^_^” I enjoy reading all the useful information you’ve given so far…how about tutorials, making our own useful skincare concoctions for different skin types. Videos and writing about it!
I Truly appreciate what you’re doing for yourself and all of us, Fran. Keep up the wonderful work, and have a happy Holidays!
I would really enjoy some information on preservatives that are added to foods and beauty products. Happy holidays!
I love your shows! I would like to see some videos on what makeup products/brands to use while trying to heal acne lesions. Also any recommendations on how to improve discoloration of skin-tones would be greatly appreciated!!!!
First off I would like to thank you for all the wonderful information you have shared this year. Acne can really take a swipe at your self-esteem so its lovely to have that ongoing support.
I would appreciate more information on natural ways to deal with the scarring that acne leaves behind.
Once again, thanks for everything Fran and looking forward to all you have to offer in the New Year.
Hi Fran! Love your blog! I would love if you could cover great treatments/prevention for chest and back acne. I would also like to read more about “warming” foods that you say cause acne. Thanks so much for all that you do! This blog has been such a great resource. Happy holidays!
hi fran i would like for you to talk more about natural body care products like deodorant etc im really into that now
I would think it would be great if you could provide some insight on how to boost self esteem and other issues like that. I find acne takes a huge toll on my normally open and flamboyant self. For instance, I found that article/ email about what the boy thought about that girl with acne. I had no idea guys didn’t care! It would also be cool if you could suggest some good makeup for sensitive or acne prone skin, if there are any!
The food articles are also wonderful! Maybe some more recipes?
How to deal with acne and breakouts resulting from stress! I always break out around exam time..how do i minimize the effects of stress on my acne?
I’d love to see more info on “under ground” pimples… the kind that stay forever unless you squeeze them hard so the stuff comes out.
Hey Fran – love your website…I would like to see more videos about what to eat and drink diet wise..love to read stuff about that! Thanks for a great contest:)
I would like you to talk to us about other internal forms of healing (perhaps aromatherapy, yoga, etc.) that can complement the products used to cure acne.
I would love to continue to hear and see via video real people’s own experiences, with skincare regime, new products etc. It’s much better to know that it really does or doesn’t work! You are doing a fabulous job though Fran, merry xmas!!
Hi! I would like to hear more about stress and acne, how you keep your stress minimal. I would also love to keep hearing about great natural products, and oils like jojoba oil.
I would like to know about face masks in general. I know that there are the peel off masks and the clay masks. Which is better for what type of skin? Does masks actually create a long term effect on the skin? Because everytime I use a mask, the only difference I notice is that my skin just gets softer for that hour or so.
Hi Fran! Love the site. I think it would be neat if every once in a while you could do segments on natural skin care “on a budget”. You have recommended some great products in the past, but sometimes certain products can be a bit pricey. It would be fun to see certain regiments for the penny-pincher in all of us.
I would like for you to share more ways I can help my acne internally, such as foods and vitamins.
Maybe you could talk about some medical conditions that cause acne. Especially ones that involve the digestive system or organs.
I would love for you to talk about some natural blackhead prevention and/or healthy extraction methods as blackheads are a huge problem of mine.
I also wouldn’t be opposed to some more posts on beauty products.
I love watching your videos and reading the blog. You have helped me better understand acne. I would really like for you to discuss the topic of how bad bacteria in the intestines causes acne and how to treat this problem. This seems to be my main problem and all the doctors want to do is put me on medications. I would love to learn about a natural solution.
Thanks for all of your help
I would love to hear more about natural products (like the manuka honey) that can be used to keep the break outs under control. I would also love to here more on what one can do to help acne scars heal and how to even out skin tone.
Thanks so much for all the lovely and useful information you have given on your blog and in your video.
Happy Holidays!
I would love to know how to deal with blackheads without picking.
I’d love some recipes using healthy food that’s great for your skin.
Hiii Fran,
Could you please write about how to prevent very dry skin? I am a swimmer and swimming twice a day really dries my skin out. There must be other alternatives than to just completely stop swimming?
Thanks and Happy Holidays!!
I need to know how to keep my face hydrated throughout the night, how to successfully exfoliate (I always have flaky skin even after!), how to unclog my pores and keep them that way! and also great ingredients for your skincare.
I just wanted to say thankyou for doing such a great website. I have been dealing with acne since I was 14. I am 30 now and the last 3 years for me have been the worst with my acne flare ups since I have decided to go off the pill. I as you have tried everything to try to control it. In fact I think I have tried alot of similar things that you talk about trying yourself on your site. I am still struggling with it but am starting to see improvements finally. I have been working on the inside as well as outside to try to control my acne. The topic that would be really great for me is how to deal with acne emotionally. It really takes a toll on your selfesteem and though I am finally seeing improvements it is still hard for me to face the world this way sometimes. So if you could talk about that on your blog that would help myself and many others I’m sure. Thanks again for all your fantastic info. I’m trying the manuka honey tonight to see how it works. I’ll let ya know soon. Thanks again. Denise
I want to know how ethnicity plays out in acne and specific ways to reduce acne for each.
I would love to hear about female hormones’ effect on acne, and if there is a way to “stabilize” hormones.
Thanks Fran! You’re great!
I would like to know if it is okay or not okay to wear makeup when you have pimples. I have also had an adult onset of cystic acne from stress and hormones. I have a great skin care regime but was just wondering if wearing makeup makes it worse. Thanks!
I would love to see information on how to maintain skin during different seasons, or when visiting or moving to a region with a different a climate.
Thanks Fran!
I would be very grateful if u write about hair care. I am following your method of acne cure and it seems working on me .. so..
Hello, Fran! Thank you for all your info and for a fab giveaway! I would like info on how to keep ALL skin healthy–like the skin of the back. Mine is so sensitive and breaks out so easily that tips would be great!
Thank you and Happy Holidays!
Autumn
I think your site and information is fantastic and very helpful! I would love to learn more about different skin types based on different ages levels, and body types, and how to better handle it through diet and natural means – specifically for teenagers, and aging adults…
I would love to see more about specific foods, perhaps even great recipes for different skin types and continued reviews from people that are really using products.
hey fran ! hmm what i would like you to talk about in your new videos is more herbs and teas! these are wonderful for the healing process and they go so far back into ancient times! also i would like you to share how important water filterizers are! thank you so much

nicole
Hi Fran,
I would love to hear about any natural treatments for Keratosis Pilaris that you might know of in the New Year.
Thanks for the wonderful site and the inspiring stories and information. Merry Christmas
Love Tegan.
I adore your website and think you have awesome, empathetic information. Your tips about diet and especially dairy have helped so much. Personally, I would like more informaton on smoking, which I know is very bad for my skin, but just how much. There isn’t that much helpful information on acne and smoking. Thanks for the awesome information and awesome blog!!
Hi Fran, I would love to hear more about your newly discovered products and how to keep our skin healthy.
Thank you so much for helping me and everyone here!
I would really appreciate it if you could do some videos talking about how stress can affect acne and ways of what I shouldn’t worry about plus ways that will help me! Some more product reviews would be really nice too. Thanks for doing a contest!
I would like to know how to make your skin look younger and refreahed!I hope i win this amazing skin pack
What would you like me to write or video about in High on Health next year?
I would like for you to do a video on how to cure ingrown hairs on the body and on the face (for women who grow facial hairs).
Also a video for those with dry skin. Your suggestions work in the winter when heavy creams are good, but in the summer, we need something light.
Hey Fran,
Thanks for doing this. I would love for you to talk about Niacin/Nacinimide/Vitamin B3 and it’s affects or claims with acne. I’ve read studies about it and wondering if you would happen to know more information about it.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Hi Fran! I would like some videos on what kinds of makeup can contribute to acne and what people should either stay away from or keep! I also think a video for specific skin types for different seasons would be helpful as well.
orangeinsanity(at)hotmail(dot)com
I was hoping you could talk about raw foods and hair loss. I’ve noticed that when I’m 100% raw-vegan, I lose more hair. Have you come across any research that might explain this and ways to possibly minimize hair loss on a raw-vegan diet. Thanks!!
Honestly, I think you’ve covered everything I could possibly have questions about. Your videos are amazingly helpful and you’ve helped me understand skin and body so much better than before. But if I had to suggest something for a new video I would love to know more about various makeup brands that are good or better than average for our skin. I love makeup! – not just because it covers my acne, but because it’s so fun! But I am more aware of harmful chemicals now and I want to find something that’s a healthier alternative. Thanks so very much, Fran! I hope I win! I love all of the prizes SO MUCH!
I would love to know about what vitamind(a,b complex, c, etc.) do to take care of the skin. like which ones have an antibactial or toning and things like that. also how to wash your face, properly. and if acne or wrinkles effect your health. that we be nice.
I would like to see a video about taking vitamins and supplements to help our overall health as well as our skin. As you know well know, what you put into your body is as important to what you put on it
more sucessful cases for us to gain confidence!
I think & wish you could talk about hair care too. Maybe you can propose products and food to help strengthen your hair and avoid hair disease such alopesia.
hey fran,
I would like to understand more about what kind of healthy choices and foods are good for your body and your skin of course.
Hi Fran,
I love your blog, it has really helped me a lot.
Maybe you could do a video about some idea’s for food for the holidays that are coming up.
I always eat to much and too sugary and too fat during this period. Because of this and the make-up I wear to parties make acne usually gets a lot worse. So maybe you have some helpfull suggestions as to what to avoid or something.
I love hearing about your experiences with different skin care products, and I love all the recipe posts. Everything you’re doing is great, so keep it up!
Hi Fran! I’d like to see you do a comprehensive review of the vitamins/supplements that may be useful for the skin. I’ve been recommended zinc, B12, B6, brewer’s yeast, vitamin E, propbiotics, etc.
How do you know which you need? How do the various vitamins interact with each other?
Thanks
Hope I win!!!
I would like you to talk about reducing redness.
Hi Fran!
I’ve really been wanting you to talk more about herbal remedies to acne. I have so many foods that I’m allergic to(corn, soy, wheat, peanuts), so its almost impossible to avoid them all and I’d like to know more about the natural remedies to such problems.
happy holidays
I would like to hear more about recipes for masks that we can make ourselves and how the ingredients work for skin, and different kinds of reactions from those ingredients.
hi Fran! that is just AWESOME!
in addition to more recipes and how to have a positive attitude, I’d also like to hear about how to take care of skin when you’re really active (exercising and sweating frequently). thx!!!
I think it would be rally cool if you could give us tips on affordable drugstore products that are ok for the health of our skin. I love your natural skin care so natural drugstore products would be amazing! Thanks.
Oh this is fantastic! I’m just about to travel to Colorado to work for my summer vacations =) I never get to enter this contests )=
Thank you very much!
Well, as many people have said, you really cover many aspects that have influence on acne and breakouts. I would really, really looooove for you to do a major investigation on how to treat the skin after I have found out what does make me break out and how can I prevent it. It would be a big motivation for me to maintain a regimen, like the 1/10 “good stuff” to eat for my body, if I knew that I’m on my way to getting a really healthy looking skin. My main interest is treating acne scars, of all types. I’m sure you can find a better, and of course natural, treatment than the ones we usually find in internet. I hope you consider this
Merry Christmas and a very happy new year n.n
I am interested in what types of makeups are best and how you can cover you acne without irritating it. Is natural the best and what are some recommendations. Also, what is a good moisturizer under the foundation. Thanks Fran!
I would like to learn about more techniques and strategies for a healthier lifestyle, perhaps more focused on reducing stress.
Hi Fran!
I’d love more easy, quick raw recipes relatively low on nuts and seeds.
Hope that’s doable.
Happy holidays!!

Hi Fran,
After struggling with acne since elementary school, this blog has been a real blessing. I’ve been reading you since last year and you helped me have a totally new view of my skin/health care. Now I feel confident in my care for my body and more informed.
I would love it, though, if you posted about how to implement your program for those of us in college where stress and bad food are always around.
Thank you,
Alicia
Hi Fran!
I would love it if you wrote more instead of the videos – although I love the videos, it’s more convinient for me when I’m on the go and using my iphone to read it!
Destressing ideas, and getting rid of back-acne would also be great! thank you(:
You wouldn’t believe how much difference it would have made for me if didnt bump into one of your videos. I learned so much beneficial things from your blogs and I cannot thank you enough for sharing your knowledge on skincare. One thing that I’m really curious about lately is Vitamins & Minerals. I’ve read your posts on Vitamin b12 and they were pretty helpful but I would love to gain more knowledge on what each vitamins do to help our skin and the amount we should have it each day. Thanks!!
I would love for you to get more in depth on blackheads. I’ve had them for years and have tried everything! Keep doing what you do <3!
Your website has been such a great help for acne sufferers like me. i’d like to know more about supplements that could help heal acne from inside out. also, natural remedies for acne would be very useful. thanks and more power!!!
I would like know how to get rid of the big pimples that appear on your nose fast?
Hi Fran thanks for your previous blogs. I think it will be great if you feature alternative treatments for skin acne that will be easily available to anyone like home remedies. Suggests also brands that can be easily bought in stores internationally but will see results and affordable. Feature also non-comodogenic products already available at the market and recommended safe and tested as well as how to reduce acne scars.
Hi Fran,
I think you should continue writing about skin care but include hair care with it. I’ve seen people with acne have dry, brittle hair and/or thin/thinning hair. There HAS to be a correlation between the two. Would love to learn more about skin and hair.
Happy Holidays,
KK
I would love to know about more home remedies,In todays world it’s hard when your watching every cent you spend.Thanks
Hi Fran, I would like to know how to go off birth control without getting break-outs. Merry Christmas!
I think it would be great if you can please make videos about how to take care of acne caused by side effects from certain medications and illnesses. Thanks!
Hi! I’d like to learn more about understanding what topical products make you breakout. I’ve come to realize that some products although they are “non-comedogenic” will still break me out, but i want to make sure if it’s whats really causing the problem. For example, CeraVe moisturizer, Jojoba oil, oil-free tinted moisturizer, all seem to irritate my acne. But i’m not positive. Could you help me with that? Thank you Fran!
I would like you to talk about the effect of genetics on acne.
Hi Fran, Merry X-mas. I too would also like to hear more regarding hormone imbalance and maybe natural remedies to realign?
Cheers
It would be great to see a video on ways to de-stress as a way to decrease new breakouts and heal existing ones.
Also, some great vegan recipies would be fantastic
Hi Fran,
What I would most like to see you talk about next year in your videos are ways one can cope with scars and traumas caused by severe acne.
I’ve been an acne sufferer for years and it wasn’t until I was on Accutane that the worst of it went away. But my face is covered in deep scars and discoloration that I can’t even remember what it’s like to have healthy, glowy, smooth skin. It painful to see others with luminous skin, everyday – it effects one’s esteem so much! So please if you would have any advice on how to be more confident, it would be, really re-assuring. Thank you.
I would like to hear more about how to pick the best moisturizer. My skin can get really dry but using thick moisutrizers clogs my pores, yet thin moisturizers leave my skin flaky.
Hi, I’ve been having trouble dealing with the effect of weather on my face. My face will just become red, swollen, everything horrid in the extreme wind or rain.
Hey Fran!
Thanks for this awesome contest, I would absolutely love to try your products. As far as the question goes, I definitely would like to see some more of your raw food recipes. I tried the ‘Raw Shakti Balls’ and they were delicious! Also, it would be great to see a post about how to take care of active pimples. I just can’t stop myself from picking at them. Thanks again, I am excited to see what is to come this new year.
hi,i would like you to add some information regarding the myths about acne and what is the best way to understand your acne and body’s mechanism towards it and the healing.I want you to add more about role of hormones and its solutions.
hey fran, I would like to know more about the effects of nutrition and diet on healthy hair/nails/skin ect… your videos are really great, BTW!
Hi Fran, I’d love to know about all those skincare products which compliment a cleanser and moisturizer – toners, serums etc. There seems to be a lack of GOOD information on them, especially for natural and acne fighting alternatives.
Merry Christmas!
How to treat combination skin, remove/prevent blackheads, and naturally treat hormonal acne.
Hi Fran,
Thanks for all your support this year, it’s been great to have you just ‘a click’ away!
I am interested in learning more about organic ‘back to basics’ skin care products and recipes that support healthy skin function.
For years, we are sold the idea that chemical is the only successful way to manage acne, but you have changed that for me and I am forever thankful to you and High on Health!
Merry Christmas to all.
hi fran and thank you for all the work you put into this, it has helped me.
can you write about ingrown hair preventions and treatments?
and on ways to treat the redness that the pimples leave behind.
I would like if there was some music background in your vlogs
also, maybe photos or so, while you’re mentioning products to use, or just products you make. And! I would like the most more videos 
it’s a lot more comfortable and I like the colors in videos (i’m from Poland, now I’m studying in Belgium, but the weather is not even tiny-close to yours – it’s nice to see the warm that surround you while it’s winter here ^_^)
I would like to see you exposing accutane and revealing the best ways to detoxify yourself, beat your acne, and such. Give us the information about the right natural products.
I would like more talk about diet and how we can simply and affordably improve our diets to improve our skin (and our entire well-being!).
Write something which relates Diet to acne prodlem. some people have acne due to hormones and their diet so if you could write articales etc on this area.
regards
mujda
Hi Fran, I would really like to read more about curing acne scars and large pores from your blog!
I would like to know more about oily skin, and how to treat it. Is it impossible to get rid of, or is there a solution?
It would be great if you talked about how to handle the emotional side of having acne. Having acne really affects people self estime. It be really helpful to get tips on how to maintain your confidence.
Hi, I would like to watch/read more about how specifically things like sunshine and air can help acne and also more recipies because the ones that I have read have sounded tasty <3
Thank you
I would like to hear more about natural skincare that works for different skins (face and body), and other natural ways of living.
Hi Fran,
You have already touched on such a vast and intense amount of important information on acne. I think you are wise and have a surpassing wit. Bravo and Thank you. I would like to know more on hormonal acne, specifically managing excess androgen production, without the use of western pharma, i am lost.
help me please, this christmas. xo from toronto.
Hey Fran,
this site is so cool and helpful. There are so many interesting skin care routines to choose from, and it’s wonderful!
Some things I think would be good to hear about next year are, ways to maintain skin that is beginning to clear and stopping an acne relaps. Or natural ways to reduce the look of acne, so people aren’t tempted to pick their face. Or more, easy, natural, homemade skincare remedies.
Thanks a lot!
Hi Fran,
Thanks for all your advice.
I would love to see an article on how to express our concerns to our Dr’s so that they take us seriously and look deeper into why the problem is there and not just brush us off.
I sure hope I win! I’d love to hear more about dealing with acne scars the natural way. Thanks for your site, Fran!
Dear Fran,
Thanks for your committment to this site! I have put into affect lots of tips you have given me! I would like to know more about how food affects hormones and break-outs. I know you have done work on this, but more articles about how nutrition and skin go hand in hand is awesome. Thanks!
Hi Fran!!
Thanks so much for giving us all an opportunity to try such great products that we otherwise might not be able to afford! You have changed my life! My skin has improved dramatically since I have been reading your blog and applying your adivce. What has helped me the most is the hands off rule. I did not know how much damage I was causing and how many breakouts I was createing until I stopped picking!
I would really love recs on different makeup products to use to support clear skin. I have an extremely hard time finding makeup products that fit this category.
Keep up the good work. We all love you so much!!
It’ll be great to see how to balance your hormones to better skin problems
I have been following you for a while now. I would appreciate an article or video on mature acne or why the elderly would still get acne and how to prevent it. Thanks.
Your openness and advice have improved my skin and my life and have changed the way I eat, think and feel. I feel closer than ever to my first real makeup free day in 13 years! I’d love to hear your advice for making that final transition from better skin to personal best. And thank you for everything you’ve done, you’re always there when I need you!
Thanks for is lovely contest, Fran. I would love to see more on this site about the mind-body-soul connection, and how our physical and emotional health are so inter-related…
Hugs,
Radha
Hi Fran, thank you for your blog and for all the helpful information you give us.
I’d like to hear more about foods that help or hurt anxiety and depression. Also I’d like to hear about anything you know about balancing hormones, do I have to feel like crap for certain days of the month/break out or is there some supplements I can take to make pms less extreme?
Thanks again for all you do!
Julianne
I would love to know your thoughts on Retin-A for acne. I have been using it for the past couple of months & eatings lots of fresh fruit & vege & it seems to be doing wonders for my skin. Do you think Retin-a is OK to use?
I would really appreciate if you could make videos/write about how to break free from the social barriers of acne, also how you can overcome acne in the most simplest easiest way, also about lifestyle acne.
I’m interested in adrenal fatigue and its connection with acne. And I’m always interested in nutrition-related articles – foods that help heal skin problems and foods that may aggravate them.
More healthy (easy) recipes. Hyperpigmentation procedures such as microdermabrasion and what you think of it (does it work? Are there alternative ways to produce the same effect?).
i am liking what i have read so far but would also like info on healing the scars, not only the horrid physical ones but the sickening psychological ones, the ones that won’t let you out of the house for fear of the stares!!!!
Hi Fran,
Firstly, thank you for your informative site. There is honestly nothing else like it on the web! A topic i’d love you to cover next year is maintaining good health in an unhealthy society. Being a bit of a ‘health nut’ myself, I feel that i constantly have to change my behaviour to fit in with others. Healthy people are often ridiculed for not following the norm i.e. not drinking heavily, not eating take away etc. I’d also love to hear more on how to maintain a healthy diet without loosing too much weight. Like you, i am naturally thin and would love to learn more about what i should be eating to increase my weight without having to eat garbage. Thanks again.
I would like to see you do a video showing how to care for skin from the neck down. Such as feet, elbows, knees and hand care.
Thanks.
I would love for you to write about the acid mantle of the skin and the detergents that we find in manufactured cleansers & even moisturizers that compromise our skin’s protective barrier.
I’d also love to know how to follow your program on a VERY tight budget. Just had my first child & things are very tight… so it’s stress upon stress which is obviously not helping with my acne issues :-/
~Cara
I would like to you to write about natural, effective treatments for clearing blackheads and reducing enlarged pores. Thanks for the great blog!
Hi Fran,
Thanks for all of your valuable research!
I think we could all benefit from a better understanding of how to diagnose what causes our acne. Also, it would be nice to know how to treat
acne on a tight budget.
i would love if you would show a very easy yoga routine that you could do in maybe 15-30 minutes every day. It would be great to learn a short simple routine that can help relaxation as well as flexibility. thanks
Hi! I recently read about a chinese traditional skin treatment called “pearl powder” and I was wondering if you heard about it..and what your opinions about it are? Thanks so much for all the information you have shared with all of us!!!!
Hi Fran,
Wow so many entries! it must be tough for you to pick one!
What I would like to see you blog about next year would perhaps be natural herbal supplements that we could take to heal acne, support clear skin and prevent premature ageing as well as some Asian inspired recipes for healthy skin!
I always enjoy your recipes for homemade natural skincare. I find those very helpful.
Also, I’ve always wanted to just use a pure oil as a facial moisturizer, but I never know which kind to get. A review on different types of oils would be great. You know, Coconut, Grape seed, Olive, Jojoba, etc. Maybe just which ones you think are best for which skin type, how to prepare them…that sort of thing.
Oh! And one more thing! It’d be really cool if you could do something about natural makeup.
Thank you so much for your videos, they’ve helped me a lot in my journey to clear skin, and overall health
Hi Fran! Happy end of the year!
You’ve covered so many topics, so my requests are more of some of the same. I’d love to hear more in-depth information on the benefits of hemp and neem in their various forms for skin and general health, as you’ve mentioned both recently. I also enjoyed your multivitamin post and would love to read in one post about specific vitamins and minerals that support healthy skin.
Thanks and hope you are well.
Hey Fran,
Could you talk more about how to manage teenage/hormonal acne?
I WANT TO SEE YOU EXPERIMENT WITH KOMBUCHA TEA. i FIND ORIGINAL KOMBUCHA TEA TO BE THE ONLY THING THAT GENTLY AND DEEPLY PURGES MY PORES SO I CAN HAVE CLEAR SKIN. I JUST DISCOVERED THIS IN 2009 AFTER BATTLING ACNE FOR 10 YEARS.
I would like for you to talk about if like someone touches your face if it causes more acne or like if sweaters and clothing garmets may induce the production of acne.
Hi Fran,
I would like to hear more about personally testing products to find one that works. How long is a good time to test out a product and the difference between purging and allergies.
Thanks,
Elana
Dear Fran,
I thank you for all your wonderful information on how to treat acne. I am 47 and had hormonal acne for most of my adult life. My daughter is also dealing with teenage acne. Something that I think would be really good to talk about on your website would be the connection between acne and the condition called candida. We have had the fortune of finding out, through our terrific naturopath/GP, that candida or candidiasis has been a major contributor to our problems. Also being defficient in both vitamin D and chromium, which are vitally important.
Keep up the great work.
Emma-Rose.
Hi Fran. I would love to learn more about different internal conditions that can result in acne. I recently got some medical tests done which revealed some imbalances within my body (adrenal fatigue, low serotonin, severe yeast allergy likely stemming from candida overgrowth). Through my own research it seems these imbalances often occur together. I would like to learn more about these different conditions, how they play a role in acne, and how to best heal yourself. Thank you Fran!! Blessings and Merry Christmas!
Hi Fran,
I have dry skin as well as persistent acne, and I would like to find a way to moisturize my face, without using harsh methods or chemical-ridden moisturizers. So I would love to get your input in an upcoming video about natural ways to moisturize – that won’t further aggravate the skin of acne sufferers. Thanks!
Although I’ve tried to take you advice as much as possible I’m still struggling to clear my skin naturally and one thing I would like to hear more about is finding the root cause of your acne. I realize you’ve written and blogged about this before but I’m still searching for an answer.
I hope you end up doing your coaching program again since I missed out on signing up for the first one. I suppose that’s another thing I’d like to hear about. How is it going and although it’s still in the early stages have people had any success?
What’s left? You cover almost everything thoroughly. I’d love to see what different women in different countries use and what is effective in different cultures. A good excuse to do some travel for your research.
Thanks and happy holidays.
I’d love to know more about how/if exercise affects your skin condition.
I would like you to talk about blue light therapy and glycolic peels from your holistic perspective.
Oh. My. LORD! Please, someone tell me how to UNSUBSCRIBE to the comments! Please! @_@
Hello there,
I’d like you to write about what chemicals or toxins in some foods can possibly do to harm your body, and consequently your skin.
thank you
Hi Fran,
Before I read your blog, I’ve been very depressed with my acne. But now, after reading your blog, I feel hopeful again. I would like to suggest you to tell us how to deal with acne that caused by stress and how to control hormonal acne for oily skins. Thanks a lot!
would love some book referrences for healthy diet for life and skin care as well as any detox regimens that you might reccomend. love your blog, so many great resources and insights!
Hello Fran,
I have learned a lot from your high on health website. I first learned about you on YouTube. I watched a video you posted on Bee Yummy Skin Food. I have been using it since March 2009. It is fabulous! I use it every day.
OK, now for the question at hand. I am in much need of information on how to remove acne scars. I have suffered from acne since I was a teenager. I am now 30 and have found a way to greatly minimize my acne breakouts. I still have acne, but it is very much under control at this time. I never have more than a few active bumps on my face at a time. However, I suffered from acne on my chest for a period in my life. When I was about 23 I got a cyst on my chest-in the center of my chest. That cyst never completely went away. It left behind an unsightly little brown bump.
I would truly like to know about treatments/procedures I could have done to remove it. It prevents me from wearing cute little tops because I don’t want to reveal my imperfection to the world. Please don’t think that it is some massive bump, because it is not (I will send you a photo if you would like). But the bump definitely prevents me from wearing many tops and dresses that I would like to wear. It bothers me greatly.
I am making a career transition to becoming a pilates instructor, and I would love to wear different shirts as a current student of pilates and future teacher.
I am sure there are many others like me out there. I would be very thankful if you could post some advice on this topic.
Thanks for all that you do!
Kindest regards,
Candace
Hi I’d love for you to do a review of homeopathic remedies, as a supplement. Thanks!
HEy Fran!
Id love for you to write about differnt places and people that we could contact to help with our acne, weather it be dermatologists, naturopaths, or professionals that can help with stress. id love to hear what you would recommend for some of us canadians!
any special places that you think we could go to to find more information and help to fighting our acne and loving ourselves!
Happy holidays
I love your videos and your wesite. I would love for you to video or write about acne and your diet, such as foods and drinks. Also more about moisturizers and soaps.
Hi Fran,
Love your site and the kindness you show your readers! I am thinking of getting a chemical peel to correct sun damage and I’d love to hear your opinion on such procedures. Thanks so much for all you do, I know you’ve helped me a lot!
PS: Just a suggestion…you could throw a copy of your book in with this prize for the winner!
Hi Fran,
Could you do a post on which kinds of scrubs are best for sensitive skin? I find that the sandy ones are most effective, but I’ve heard that they may cause wrinkles in the long run.
Hi Fran, I have been wondering all the time what type of steps you went through when you had your bad cystic acne. Or any before and after steps just to give people motivation that following your steps will prove to reduce or make acne disappear.
It would be cool if you could include what you eat on an average day, and recipes and ideas for vegeterian meals. Also what supplements you reccomend and where you can get them from!
Hi Fran,
Thank you so much for all that you put into this site, for taking the time to share what you’re learning on your own journey. I would love to see more about diet and acne, especially about raw foods, and how long it takes before dietary changes begin to show results in your skin. I love your videos. Thanks again!
Hi, I would like to learn more about the female hormone imbalances and why these occur and cause acne. Also more info on specific vitamin supliments which can help in clearing acne and maintaining healthy skin.
Best wishes
Hey Fran,
It would be very very helpful if you can write/video more about how and why your skin can be effected if you move to a different climate/environment than what you’re body is use to, and the best possible ways to help manage and treat it.
Thank you!
Mele Kalikimaka
Hi Fran! ID really like for you to make more videos on healthy reciepes for acneprone people. Please consider this, thanks in advance!
Seasons greetings Fran! For the new year I’d like to hear more about how we can prevent comedones and what are some of the topical treatments that get rid of those nasty plugs. Also, are there any natural face mask recipes that you’ve tried which have transformed your skin for the better?
A happy new year to highonhealth!
Hi Fran!
I’d love for you to blog on other types of acne/skin-friendly makeup other than mineral makeup in the new year (if they even exist..hahaha!). I really like to wear makeup but I can’t seem to find anything that doesn’t irritate my skin and/or make me breakout (even a really fantastic organic mineral makeup when applied with clean brushes…). Thanks for your blog! I’m a huge fan
hi Fran, your website is great! I love watching your videos. Great Info so far!.. I would like you to write/show a step by step food/diet program which helps with the hormonal and other acne problems..a bit more on diabetes and acne.. that’s an area which not too many people explored thus far..Candida and recurring yeast infections and acne relations if they are possibly connected.
I think that will be some great area to explore.
Thanks for all your help and dedication to the acne sufferer!
Happy Holidays!
I’d like to get more information on how to deal with scarring from acne.
Hi Fran,
First of all thank you for all the care and thoughtfulness you put into your site. I loved the link on Stop Picking On Me – boy could I relate. I am in my 40’s and I just got over a bad case of hormonal acne. It would be great if you would write about natural products that you could use for acne that also helps wrinkles.
Thank you for all the encouraging comments. I feel like I am e-mailing a friend.
Theresa
Fran please continue investigating the critical link between a person’s spiritual condition and their physical condition. Not religion neccesarily, but being loving and forgiving like Jesus taught is not just important to your emotionsbut your health! Talking about this mind body connection is the most important thing you have done with high on health. Having experienced the link yourself, and being apart from traditional medicine, you are in a unique position to make such claims.
Hi Fran,
Thanks for all of your help. Were all in this battle together and best of luck to whoever wins the prize… :3
For your next video I would really apreciate it if you could talk about natural jewelry, herbal perfumes, or skin care regimes for specific skin types and/or hair types…
I’d actually like to see a blog about not stressing when you get one or two pimples. I’ve just gotten over my acne, and when one or two pimples pop up, I panic and think its coming back. It can be really upsetting. Also, I’d like to know if there are any natural ways to get rid of acne scars. Thanks!
Hi Fran
I would like you yo talk more about the male aspect of acne. How ea can seek out natural medicine and elements of male health linked to hormonal imbalance. You talk a lot about female hormonal imbalance, naturally because you are a female and have experienced this yourself to some extent. However, i feel that the web page would better sere both genders if this aspect was included within the male domain of acne as well.
Good luck to you and happy holidays
Jon
I would like to see a video on meditating for clearer skin (or a review of ana segal’s clear skin cd)
also more on eft would be cool!
happy holidays =)
Hi Fran!
Since hair is our crowning glory, I think more entries about Hair Care would be wonderful!
Hello Fran,
I would love to hear and see more of natural home made remedies. I’ve been experimenting and wondering about some ingredients I have at home but the internet isn’t always a reliable source. So it would be great to hear your opinion on different natural remedies. (Side effects, benefits, ect.)
Thanks
hey! i would like u write or make a video about acne scars and and talk about your thoughts on different products. Im am currently doing your 7 day clear skin program and i wanted to thank you so much for all your effort in helping people get clear skin
Hey, Fran!
I’m hoping you can provide some tips on how to get rid of body acne (specifically on the chest and back).
Thanks!
Information about supplements and their benefits, how to treat discolouration and scarring. And more of your great product reviews
Thanks
Ooh, I’d love to win! And it would be great to see you talk about hormonal acne, as it tends to be so persistent and impossible to treat. Thanks for all your hard work!
Hey Fran,
I would be very interested in hearing about the past contest winner who won the bootcamp package with Dr. Neal–an update. I am very curious about how he is doing.
I would definitely love more recipes
:D
Hi fran, I would love to hear you talk about the benefits of essential oils like tea tree, lavender and jojoba ect…. And maybe talk about detoxification diets. Thanks!
I would loove, for you to do a video, or write about foods that you would find in your kitchen that would help your acne.
Foods that you would actually put on your acne, instead of eating it.
thanks !
Hi Fran, I’d love you to talk more about raw food/recipes – easy, quick and super tasty food(that still makes you feel great and keeps your skin looking great too).
Happy Holidays to you too !
I’d love to see a video on hormomal female adult acne, and how acne changes as a woman ages. How it’s affected by our cycles, as well as childbirth and menopause. I’m especially interested in acne for women over 40 … so little is out there now.
Thank you for your guidance and inspiration : )
Fran-first off, I would just like to say that I think you are such a beautiful person, both inside and out! And I mean that whole-heartedly! I think it would be great if you could make a video on your favorite natural products that you use on a daily basis (bodywash, deoderant, makeup, perfume, etc), also if you can talk about juicing to help detox the body and clear acne. Thanks and warms wishes and a Merry Christmas to you and everyone else who supports you!
ran, first off, I would like to say you are such a beautiful person! Inside and out, and I mean that whole-heartedly
First
Great site. I would love to see more articles on hormonal acne. And more recipes (I love food!
)
Hey!
Great website! It would be great if you talked about make-up, particularly foundations. I’m always confused about which foundations are good (liquid or powder?!) and the specific brands.
Thanks for everything you do!
Christine
Hi fran, I would love to hear you blog, or talk about makeup and what ingredients to avoid, thanks!
Hey Fran,
I would love it if you made an actual video of your daily routine or your weekly routines to treat your face to make it look the way it does. (aspecific step by step.
Thank you so much for all the other informations!
Hi Fran! I would love for you to address acne and dark marks on African American skin and skincare for women of any race who are over the age of 20! I am 32 and i am for the first time in my life having to deal with acne and dark marks. There is not a lot of talk about these subjects and i am so tired of looking and finding things that only address teenagers. I love what you are doing to help so many who have struggled for years! Thanks and keep up the awesome work
.
getting rid of blackheads already present, and dealing with large pores…
maybe recipes for natural homemade products, like face masks, etc.?
I think your site & everything you are doing is wonderful. Anymore information on female hormonal acne would be most helpful. Also, best ways to eat when you are in a rush & don’t have time or money to spend in the organic markets.
Hi Fran – I would like to know your thoughts on soy and the controversy of it’s link to breast cancer. I am a vegetarian and get a lot of protein from soy…is this something we should really be concerned about? In addition, I too (as Michelle said above) would love to hear more about balancing hormones naturally to clear hormonal acne…BCP are just not an option for everyone and it seems there should be a “natural” way to do this.
Thanks Fran!
I would like for you to help us learn ways do deal with depression that comes with acne
along with cover up that works the best with how to pick regiments out that fit us personally.
Thanks i read your blog everyday, Merry Christmas to you!
Hi!
I love your site and it really does help lift my spirits when I’m feeling especially down about my acne. It’d be interesting to read about stress-related acne, and/or acne in women as they get older, especially if they didn’t have it in their typical teen years
I wouldn’t mind seeing a review of a product called Vilantae. I think it’s some sort of vitamin/mineral supplement. It’s advertised as all-natural, with minimal side effects, and “second only to Roaccutane in terms of effectiveness”. I’d like to know if it lives up to the hype.
Hey, Fran. I could use some tips about how to lessen acne scars. I’ve been looking into essential oils and of course, lemon juice, but it would be great to hear about other, possibly obscure, methods to get rid of those embarassing ripples. Now that I’m getting older I realize that while acne sucks, scars and wrinkles suck worse!
I like how your blog has your personal experiences and “transformation” you’ve been going through. it is very inspiring. more on this subject would be rad
I would love some more information on what makes a “natural” product necessarily good for our skin.
I’ve been thinking a lot on advertising that dupes us into thinking products are “natural” when they are really hiding bad chemicals inside. On the same note, what makes a natural ingredient good for our skin. Although there are undoubtedly A LOT of natural products great for our skin… there are obviously “natural” ingredients that could do a lot of harm.
Hey!
Talk about if different places in the world can help or make your acne worse. For example my sister had bad acne moved across the country and now has a great skin!!
Thanks great work!
hi fran,
i would love some tips on a recipee for a good natural cleancer/ exfoliator. Prefebaly things that are easy to buy from the shops e.g manuka honey.
love your site
stef
Hi Fran,
I would love to find out more about hormonal imbalance and some natural alternatives that can help with that. Being in my early thirties, I notice most of my acne appears during the certain time of month. Especially along the jawline and chin area.
Thanks! Hope you have a Merry Christmas!!!
Firstly, thanks so much for what you are doing!!!
I would really love to hear more about natural makeup!!
It would be super cool to hear about diy makeup!!
My skin is finally clearing thanks to your tips so it’s more fun to wear makeup now!!
Thanks again!!!
Hi! Thanks Fran, for all your help so far. I would like to hear more on great vegan, skin friendly healthy eating tips. Recommendations on natural lip balms that won’t cause breakouts would be good too!
Fran,Ilove your site,so glad to find it! I’ve already learned so much. I’d like to hear more about natural make up for acne prone skin
Hey Fran,
Like many others on here I absolutley adore your website as well, I would love for you to do a video on how to stay away from junk food( what to say to yourself what to do) and how to slowly turn bad junk food habits around and also more recipes on healthy food! ( your pasta video was great!) Also I think maybe you should interview some dermatologists for us and see what they have to say about acne scars or any other tips they could reveal.
Thanks so much!
Mariam
I would love to see a video on the impacts of raw food on acne, and how green vegetables and organic food can have positive impacts on your body compared to GMO and pesticide-ridden foods
I would really like a video about how to stay healthy and have great skin on a College student budget.
Hi Fran,
I really feel that you serve the community best by continuing to do more of what you are already doing!! You keep us on top of all the latest things we should know about our skin, bodies & mind…with a special attention on keeping it NATURAL! You are the epicenter for all of us struggling to have clear skin.
Best & thanks!
would be nice to see more info about skincare products and ingredients found in the kitchen that can be used to treat acne. =]
Hi Fran. bless you for the work that you do. I would like to know more on balancing the digestive and endocrine system to prevent breakouts. (I have pcos) With nutrition, herbs, positive visualization, etc. I have a really hard time sticking with a low glycemic diet, so maybe some tips on beating food addictions too?
I would like to see more recipe videos and more makeup suggestions or reviews, makeup such as foundation, concealer, power for acne prone skin.
Hey Fran,
What an awesome prize pack! Next year, it’d be cool if you do more vids on make up (eg. what you like, what kind of look, how to create the no makeup makeup look, etc).
Hi Fran,
I’d like to know more about careful but effective exfoliation for sensitive skin and how much is too much in terms of skin-care products as part of a skin-care regimen.
Thank-you!
Hi Fran, I would like to know more about how we can prevent both aging and acne.
Hi..I would like to see more recipes for acne sensitive skin, and perhaps some info. for vegans on consuming good, reliable sources of non-soy based protien. Thanks…
hmm… since it’s winter here in Scotland, it would be really great to get tips on how to take care skin from getting dry and lifeless. Also, on how to minimize pore size. Thank you ^_^
On another note, I just want to thank you for your advices cos it helps me to clear out my skin. I’ve been doing the wrong things on my skin since I hit puberty and thus worsen the conditions. I started adopting little bits of your advice early this year and simply let go of my obsession to ‘eradicate’ my acne and pimples haha. So in June I started to use only a miessence cleanser and also make my own facial oil. I have to say taking time to massage your face daily does help to promote good blood circulation and its relaxing as well.
I’ve a wedding date set in April so I’d love some advice on how to hide the black scars that form when one doesn’t even touch that pimple! Plus any tips that will help with preventing breakouts in the warm sunny April months with silk and fancy materials that a bride wears…. A vid on balancing the endocrine system will also be much appreciated!
I’ve been a reader of your blog since ages and its good to see how much its progressed!!
Perhaps talk about foods that will bring the natural balance out in the skin which helps it maintain the right balance to help control ance, pimples etc
Wow! What a great gift package! How nice of you, Fran! Your blog is so interesting and helpful. I adopted the baking soda exfoliant tip right away and was completely amazed. I’m hooked. I suppose I’d be interested in finding out more about controlling hormonal acne, although my “hormonal” acne has drastically improved with diet changes, increased water intake and less obsessive picking (facial sabbotage). Thanks so much!
I would like to hear more about making your own beauty products and using nature as skin care. I also like it when you trial these and let us know the results!
I would love to hear more about your battle with acne and and tips you might have that you think helped you get rid of it !
Hey Frann-
I’ve really enjoyed your High on Health series! It has made such a huge difference in the way my skin looks. For 2010 I would like to see more tips and tricks for keeping positive even if your face isnt exactly where you want it to be yet. Skin products and diet are super important but I think a positive attitude is too! Keeping a skincare routine or making healthy choices was the easy part for me..the hardest part was staying positive and trying to psyche myself into BELIEVING that my acne would go away instead of hoping that it would.
I know you’ve included things like this in some of your previous posts/videos but it would be nice to see a little more. They’re very nice reminders =)
i would love it if you could do a video focusing on food and nutrition and how it effects your skin! go really in depth.. it’d be awesome.. i know you’ve done some before but i think there could be a lot more to it… it’d be great!!
thanks!
It would be interesting to know more about types of facial treatments available (in facial therapy centres) and whether it is effective. Comments on the products used in such centres and prices will be helpful too.
i think you should write about hair why some people suffer from falling out hair and even teens and how to fix this problem, what to eat and ect.
1) what natural makeup to use (not just mineral cover-up as you’ve discussed before, but mascara & other things too!)
2) MORE about foods to eat, and easy skin-happy recipes to follow! and raw foods!
3) more about how to deal with acne for those who also have dry flaky skin.
thanks for your wonderful blog Fran, i’ve been reading for over a year now. and i’ve bought tons of stuff from your site already. my skin is NOTICEABLY better. the best & most priceless advice i’ve gotten from this site yet is the use of apple cider vinegar. it’s the ONLY thing that has cleared my chest acne, and for that i’m so grateful because i feel comfortable in a bathing suit again.
-your canadian reader.
I would greatly appreciate if you spoke more about the types of food that we can eat that will not only help us with our acne, but also overall physical health.
I would love it if you could talk about other skin problems like psoriasis. I have been looking for natural products to help with psoriasis but they are hard to find. I love your acne videos they are great. Keep up the great work!!! Can’t wait to see what videos you will have up in the new year!!
I like this site and it was really helpful. I think you should make a video about how to make masks from fruits and veggies and for what they are helpful. But most of all i think you should write about falling hair and how to fix it. I know lots of teens that suffer from this and i think this would be a good chance to answer those questions. Thank you.
Hi Fran,
I am 25 , i just started getting acne. Ur 8 days is really helping me .My acne is disappearing but my acne scars are not. They are rigid dark blemishes. I am trying home made treatments. I tried fullers earth and it lead to massive break out. But nothing seem to be working .I am too scared to try anything as i am stuill figuring what caused acne. Next year I would really like to have clean happy face. I hope you help so many people like me who deal with issues of scars, marks, blemishes. Happy Holidays ….
Hi Fran, thanks for the great blog! I would like to see more recipes for DIY natural body and skincare, not just masks but cleansers, moisturisers etc. I would also like to know about more natural skincare – especially any good quality ones at low prices.
Hi Fran,
Here are a few topics I would be interested to learn more about:
*Light Therapy
*Managing food cravings (e.g. chocolate) especially around menstrual cycles
*Maintaining calcium levels when eliminating dairy
*Effects of sea air & water on acne
* Demonstration videos – e.g. beauty routines, how to make & use products like masks etc
Many thanks.
Kelly
hi! I would like to have more infomation on how to stay acne free. I want to know whats the best and natural mineral make up. What’s concern me is that i still have acne often eventhough i follow every steps on like what to eat or not. I dont know but does that make maybe the weather here in Hawaii?
I would like you to write or make a video about ways we can detox our bodies naturaly so therefore keeping the skin not only on our face clear but also on our body, the importance of vitamin D, oh and something that lot of women such as i struggle with, helping clear Eczema
Thank you for your time,
Ashley T
please pick me for the prize (:
I would like it if next year you would write or do videos on more products,an extensive review of each product out there, the pros and cons. I have tried over 50 facial products all making me break out and I have wasted so much money on all of them. I cant seem to still find a regime that makes me not break out.
I have adult acne and all through my chin and bottom portion which shows so much that I have to wear tons of make up and am embarrassed that I am 31 and having acne, cystic ones when by this age I should be acne free. I wish I had a great product to help me reduce this and also help me with my scars. Thank you.
hi there fran…
your site is just so awesome…i am currently curing my picking habit…and your tips really did help….i am moving on to a totally new climate… so i was wondering if you could give tips on how to adjust on my skin regime…coz i used to live in a tropical country…where i usually get breakouts due to my skin’s oily state…but i am now moving to a very cold climate country (CANADA) which is entirely different from my country (PHILIPPINES) any suggestion or tips would be greatly appreciated on how your skin can cope up to a different climate so as not to harsh your skin…due to climate change…thanks and more power
I think it would be a great thing for you to continue posting about your experiences and discoveries as you follow your spiritual path. A holistic approach is, other than logical and natural,.. whole. Your area of passion is natural skincare, which you enhance through everything you do!
This would help others see the interconnectedness between all things, and gently loosen some walls that many people build around acne and skin conditions. Helping to free others from self-created boundaries, and inviting them to experience life with a heart opened is truly one of the most beneficial qualities a person can be blessed with.
‘Follow your heart’ is not just something people say.. it’s the whole(istic!) journey
Hi Fran, firstly I would just like to say like to thank you for your course and your helpful advice. But I was wondering if you could do a video to discuss if this course suits other skin conditions like eczema?
Hope you have a lovely Christmas and New Year!!!
Thank you
Roy
You could maybe talk about backacne and chest-acne and how to deal with that?
I think organic solutions for teens and young adults are great. How about natural product for those of us that are over 40? I would like to see a concentration of masks for all ages. Getting back to nature, some with yoga and us being able to make all or some of our own skin care. More of the same good diet, supplements and the best products that we can find. I know it would be difficult but getting us all together, learning new things would be awesome…
Hey Fran,
I absolutely love hearing about your philosophies on better living and having a more fulfilling, beautiful life. I also LOVE your products recommendations for skin, hair, body care, etc. as well as healthy food recommendations. Maybe you could even think about creating your own skin/food products? If anyone could, it would be you and i know many people who would definitely buy from you! =) hehe just an idea! Thanks for being such a beautiful person, and Happy Holidays!! Take Care! =)
Hi!
I would like you to video about High on Health for the next year.
Ann
Hi,
I’ve found the website really helpful, its completly changed the way i look at acne. I found the information on foods which aggrivate acne really interesting, so some more info on this in the future would be great. Take care, thanks for all your help!
Hi, I would like to see some videos on the health of your liver and kidneys. It would also be good to see videos on the effects of emotions on the health of the skin. Thanks for a great site.
Hi Fran! I love your blog! It’s been really helpful since I followed a link to it on one of your YouTube videos. It’s nice to see someone as determined to attack acne as you are – and, to do so honestly and openly – and to know that others are experiencing the same amount of embarrassment, depression, anxiety, and frustration that I am. Just realizing that, in and of itself, has done wonders for my psyche. But, there’s still a long way to go. Unfortunately.
Anyway, something I’d like to learn more about is how acne forms. Or, more specifically, how LONG it takes for blackheads/whiteheads/cysts/etc. to form.
I’ve been searching for this vital piece of information for months, and every time it seems like I’ve discovered a definitive answer, I come across another website/blog that tells me something completely different, yet maintains the same level of confidence as the other source. So, I’m left wondering: which one is it?!!
It’s so incredibly frustrating not knowing how long it takes for acne to manifest! I’ve heard every conceiveable amount of time from 2 weeks, to 3 months, to 6 weeks, to 6 months, and I’m starting to think no one knows the answer to this important question.
So if you could somehow answer this question in the next few months – prize pack, or no prize pack – that’d be really awesome.
Right now my face is really breaking out and I have no idea if this is a natural purge – it’s been 2 months now – or, if I’m doing something wrong and it’s contributing to my skin condition. And I think a lot of people find themselves in the same predicament.
Anyway, this “comment”, lol, has been long enough. Take care and keep up the great work!
Hi Franc,
Firstly, I would like to read more information about the relationship between food and acne. What are the foods that cause acne and the ones that are good for acne. And why some cause acne.
Secondly, the skincare products you have introduced to us so far are very unique in that they are not found in common stores. Many of us did not know the products in your store until they read your blogs. Therefore I will be looking forward to your discovery of many more natural and healthy products in the year ahead.
Wish you a merry and healthy holiday.
Hi Fran love your help in how to get rid of scars of acne due to hormone replacements, as I have a dark complexion and have now a ver4y scared face..please help I use to be so pretty but not so much anymore..
I would like to see more things to avoid, and more recipes.
Hi id like to see videos about the issues after getting rid of your acne like scarring and how to get rid of it , starting to feel confident again and foods you can eat to make sure it stays away
I love your blog and I see I’m not alone!
It would be wonderful to see how you experience the raw food diet and how you feel it impacts the health of your skin. Maybe even a challenge that we can join for a set time period. I think so often we give up right before we see real results. Doing something together might help some of us.
Thanks for your great supportive and positive vibes!!!!
I would like to read about clearing blackheads effectively but without brutalizing skin. I also like your product (both food and cosmetics) reviews a lot so please keep writing them
Happy Holidays!
Hi Fran!
I would like to see more good-for-skin natural ingredients and recipes. I am nowadays into this new facial stuff from China. Maybe you can give that a try?
By the way, the picture of the lovely Christmas pack is sooo cute
I wish you a merry Christmas!
Hello dear Fran,
You are doing a really good work with your blog, I like the way you explain and getting to the root of the problem. I would like to read and see videos about home made products using natural bases and Essential Oils.
Thank you.
Hi
I think it would be cool if you wrote about products that are easy to get from supermarkets and pharmacies.
Thanks
Hi Fran,
love you and you blog xxxx
More metaphysical stuff…the core issue. I know that it is hard to go there as there is so much resistance from us as it hits a nerve. I have just been on such a journey of self love and my skin is so much clearer…. as you know I own a skin care store however it is soooo much more. Clear skin from within!! Our body gives as signs of resistance and we need to start listening to the messages.
I dare you to go there!!
Merry Christmas, Cheers Roechelle
I love all of your videos. I too am intersted in health and my skin. Thankyou for all the info you have given us to be able to better our health. Because you want to help people, makes you a truly beautiful person. I would like to see videos about what you think of juicing. Videos about detoxing and some videos with recipes.
Hey
The thing I would like for you to talk about next year would definitely be supplements and their effect on acne because honestly there is too much contradicting information.
Kind regards,
Deck
Hi Fran
I would love to know more about lactose intolerance, and other dairy alternatives to ice-cream and chocolate. I’ve recently developed an intolerance & ever since I’ve stopped consuming it I don’t get the large cysts I used to (yet, the ever so expensive dermatologist I saw friday insists that I should start taking roaccutane).
Anyway, I’m finding it hard to satisfy the occasional chocolate craving! Are there any dairy free chocolate or ice-cream alternatives which can be found in Australia?
I’d also love love love for you to write/talk about how stress and other emotions can affect acne. And if being around cigarette smokers can aggravate acne problems?
Thanks for all your great articles, they’ve helped me so much!
Merry Christmas xo
i think you should write more on the psychological & environmental aspect affecting breakouts. and videos/testimonial from real acne-sufferers of how they deal with it. (:
please enter me ….what a great giveaway…. I love how it is at the moment and what interest me the most is the easy basic remedies….the things you can do at home with easily available ingredients….and also how to heal yourself from within and from your lifestyle….
Hi Fran, thanks for all the information you provide and the hard work you do in researching it. It’s much appreciated.
I think it would be good to learn more about how a holistic lifestyle can create overall health (that includes the prevention of acne or other skin problems) so that people with acne can realise that it is not so much certain products that can heal them (thereby preventing dependency on external things) but their own way of being, and the attitude to life they choose every morning when they wake! (which includes eating nourishing foods, being more aware of harmful chemicals in products, wanting get lots of exercise and fresh air and sunshine, not solely because it will cure your acne but because it makes you feel great).
I find that in trying to find the less obvious blessings that come with acne, like having to find other more hidden things that are beautiful about yourself that you wouldn’t normally notice if you didn’t have to, actually helps restore your innate vital balance: and this is deeply healing and restorative and nourishing to your spirit. And the bonus is that it naturally lessens your acne, because you are not so stressed out by focusing on the negative but are embodying the positives in your life, one day at a time!
You do a lot of this anyway, which I really appreciate, but more in this area would be great!
Hope you have a lovely Christmas!
Hi Fran…
I would like you to give us the perfect cure of acne which is caused due to irregular periods because thats one of the most important aspect for us.
Hi
I’d like you to write more about a healthy skin diet and how to stick to it (i.e. what to definitely avoid, what to replace it with, what to choose if you have to eat out etc.). I know you have information already about the best kinds of food but I would like more advice on how to fit them into my diet more easily – maybe a sample diet plan?
Thank you!
Hi Fran, Thank you for all of your advice thus far. It will take determination but I’m hoping my skin will improve by following your very helpful suggestions.
As for the competition, I would like to learn more about biodynamic skincare and food produce and how these can impact upon skin condtions and our psychological well being.
Being spiritually in tune with nature and reaping the fruits mother nature provides us each season must have a profound impact upon our general sense of well being. This surely cannot be tied down to western philosophy alone and it would be interesting to get international opinions on biodynamic practices, skin care and food products too.
Seasons greetings in the meantime!
Hi Fran!
First of all, I would like to thank you for making such a great site with useful and helpful tips (i’ve already tried some of them out and they’ve realy helped my skin).
Maybe you could tell more about home made recipes with simple ingredients for skincare from within and outside. I would also love to hear about how psychological issues can affect your acne.
Thank you!
Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!
Some tips on how to deal with bodyacne (that I’m suffering with for over 10 years now), would be fantastic.
While reading through the comments I noticed some other people dealing with the same thing, maybe we can form a group and test a product/method/diet each and give you our results to post to your community of readers. I would definitely be up to that!
Merry Christmas to you!
Hi Fran,
I have had acne for about 10 years now and it has really affected my self esteem. I feel like I have tried everything to make my skin better but no help.
Lately I’ve been trying to only use natural face care products and I have noticed that my skin is less irritated, so that is good. I have also started taking zinc supplement as you suggested in one of your videos. I would also like to take omega3 but unfortunately the capsules are too big for me to swallow.
So anyway, as I have noticed that changing products doesn’t make that big difference, I would like you to write or make a video about emotions, stress, hormones and/or depression, how they affect the skin condition and how to prevent breaking out when feeling stressed, for example. I myself am a big stresser and think it has made my acne worse and the acne has made my depression worse.
Merry Christmas, it’s really cold here in Finland today : -18 decrees celcius!
I’ve found a lot helpful information at your website… It’s really hard to find a thing which haven’t you already analysed. (English’s not my first language
Maybe… how to protect you’re skin from air polution, dust, smoke? We live in a dirty ages, in crowded cities. Acne is a disease of Western Civilization. I’ve read that somewhere, on a small island near New Guinea lives tribe (small group of natives) that doesn’t have connection to our World and (what’s important for us 
doesn’t have skin problems, not even one clogged pore.
Hi Fran,
I would love more articles on yoga! The healthy living entries are my favourites.
Thanks, your blog is awesome,
Tulsi
Hi Fran,
Seasons Greetings to you!
It’s hard to think of something you haven’t covered on your site, as you make such an effort to touch on every topic related to acne. I think I would like to see more information in regards to Chinese medicine treating acne as it seems to have played a significant part in helping you with your acne.
I would also love more skincare and make-up products recommendations as even though people who have acne want to be careful with their skin, I know that we girls all still love playing with our look in regards to makeup etc so it would be good to know the comedogenic products to avoid.
That’s all. Here’s to a successful 2010 for you!
Selina
Hi Fran,
Amazing gift to be giving away! I would like you to do more videos about your yoga next year. It is obviously a really large and very positive part of your life now and it would be great to hear about your journey towards becoming a chilled out yogini! : ) I have taken up yoga quite recently and am loving it but I am finding it a little difficult to get into a regular routine with it. Tips on what exercises are easy to do at home or good to do at different times of stress or times of the day etc would be great.
Thank you.
Have a beautiful Christmas and a very happy New Year.

Hi Fran,
I would like it if you wrote about acne scarring and some options for making it go away in a safe and reasonably priced way!
Thanks,
Dolly
It would be helpful to see the results of your coaching on others… not testimonials, but… I’m not sure how you could do it so it’s not cheesy however it’d be nice to see.
A video about birth control/hormone treatments and how they totally throw your body up in the air and only tentatively control your skin issues only for them to come back.
You’ve done a lot of work already. I’m sure that’s why you’re asking the question. A list of all your videos somewhere on the site (although I’m sure you don’t want them all available to everyone) for at least the paying members would be nice, all categorized and such. It’s a thought!
i am very fond of your blog. i want you to write something about skin whitening and anti marks formula. Also add on the treatment for stretch marks.
How to remove acne scars, without laser surgery
I think you’ve covered this before but my main problem is acne scarring. The scars never seem to fade away on my face especially my T-zone. Once they start to fade, new acne may erupt anytime. Can you help?
Hi Fran!
I love your blog and the fact that you have such a holistic view of acne and health. I would really like to hear your opinions about how body image is presented in the media and contrast that with reality. I find that health is often associated with beauty, but all too often, the portrayal of beauty in mass media is not a very open or healthy version of it. Good luck and cheers for new year!
I’d like you to try and then tell the world how you can get rid of acne by drinking clay.
Hi Dear Fran,
thanks first of all for all the work that you have done for all the acne-sufferers out there. My interest for the next year would be more “holistic”, as you call it. And namely, I would like to know more about the internal causes of acne, such as different yeasts, or intoxicated leaver or kidneys. It has been so important for me, for example, to treat my acne through colon and leaver cleansing. But It took a lot of time for me to figure out that i had a light candidiosis, and that my leaver needed help to be freed from toxins. it is so important to know that there are natural ways to clean the colon, which causes different diseases if we keep it dirty. because the walls of the colon get so blocked that none of the minerals that we are taking are being absorbed. so, it is like a waste of time, money and etc. If the leaver is full of toxins, then everything comes out on the face. Therefore, I would like you to accentuate more the “internal” acne treatment
Big hug from cold Germany
and a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
I would like you to take other peoples storys that you have read and that have worked because of your amazing course and share them with the public.
Jack x
Hi Fran,
I recently came across your site via youtube and have signed up for the 7 day mini course. I’ve not had chance yet to go through everything on your site (amazing amount of info!) but wondered if you haven’t already covered it, perhaps discuss something or have a section on natural recipes that people can make or try at home (I’m currently using raw aloe vera, straight from the plant, on my face).
Many thanks
Mouse
Hiya Fran,
It’s almost our one year anniversary! (Since I discovered your blog, that is.) I am foundation-free, if not entirely makeup-free. Hurrah!
I have always liked your posts about the psychological impact of acne. So many people dismiss it as a frivolous thing to worry about, and laugh at me for saying that it genuinely is something that you think about *all the time* when you’re suffering and that it has a very serious impact on self-confidence. You obviously know what it’s like to feel that way, especially as an adult when you feel very conspicuous for it, and it’s so comforting to read about it from someone who understands. Clear-skinned people laughing at acne sufferers reminds me of the rich kid at a boarding school laughing at the scholarship boy for having scuffed shoes.
Also, any hints on fading marks would be brilliant!
Libby
Hi there! It would be great if you could cover acne in the more mature skin (late 30s to 40s) and obviously natural ways to tackle it. It would also be useful if you could give some pointers in order to identify whether you are really suffering from acne or from something totally different (rosacea etc.) Again, ways to treat those skin conditions would also be welcome!
Keep up the good work
I would like to see something in regards to acne and depression. How depression causes acne and how acne causes depression. I have been going through this since August and I am at my wits end!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
Hi,
The most helpful thing for all us acne-affected people would be if you would continue to provide us with your HONEST & SUCCESSFUL experiences…as you have been doing all along!
We cannot thank you enough for your work!
Cheers!
Hey Fran:)!
What about eco living?How it can change our lives and save the planet!? More and more people are talking about the GREEN living but its not enough…i think.Personal experience,stories,interviews…ect.People how can teach us…in connection with beauty…just ideas:)
Marry Xmas to everyone!
xoxo Sue
Hi Fran,
It would be great to read and watch videos about positive thinking and how our thoughts become true. This is something which I strongly believe in and think that is the most important thing. I love all your articles about food and skin care so I will continue to enjoy them.
Dimitrina
more recipes please !
I love your blogg, just keep up the good work and I will by happy!
love from Iceland !
About love. How to learn to love ourselves.
Hi Fran,
It has been a great pleasure and learning experience reading your website. I would love to hear more of what you know about naturally healing acne scars, both the redness and the actual scarring.
Merry Christmas!
Venesa
Fran, id like you to talk about how we can spread the word about homeopathy and natural skin care. I want everyone to know but can’t convince everyone by myself. Maybe this would make it easier to get fresh organic foods and skin care all around the world.
Hi Fran, I enjoy reading all of your blogs, but recently I started using light therapy with immediate and surprising results. It’s completely natural, safe, and effective, so it’s an ideal system to treat acne with the blue light and the red light (which works wonders when combined with the blue light) has anti-aging benefits. Hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Keep up the good work!
Happy Holidays Fran. Thank you for the opportunity to win the amazing gift from your High on Health store. I enjoy everything that you write about and find it very helpful. As an “aging” female (48) who still suffers from acne, I am interested very much in what contributes to the production of sebum and what can be done to impact its overproduction, etc. Also, articles on complete body skincare would be nice. Thank you and Merry Christmas!!! =)
I would love to know a good regimen for keeping my skin soft in the winter. I live in Canada and the winter makes my skin right red and rough.
Holiday wishes!
I was amazed about your skin.I would like to have such a skin.So i would like you to write about what you did to have a free-acne skin.Sorry for my bad english.kisses
Fran, you have no idea what a blessing you are^^ All the videos and articles you attach are great yet I would like you to also talk about: every vitamin (in details), which food product is the best of the best for acne sufferers, different couisines (and which is the best) and your step-by-step daily skin care routine…I wish you and all readers veeery Merry Christmas and a great New Year!
Hi Fran, I really apprechiate what you’re doing, you’re helping alot of people feel better about themselves by giving honest advice, which is pretty rare in this world. wicked. thank you.
I’d like to know more about hormones and acne. I’ve been on strong birth control pills, off and on for the last 3 years or so, they have helped me alot but at the same time I worry about how these hormones affect my mind and body. In a couple of months I will have to replace them for something else, not quite sure what to do. Still don’t know the cause for my breakouts, I’m worried about what will happen when I’m off the pills.
would be great to know more how hormones affect your body etc.
thanks for a great blog. Have a lovely christmas / Veronica
I think how and what are the food that ruin our skin and cause acne. Im still suffering from mild acne and dont know what to do until now.
Merry Christmas1
Hey Fran!
I’m really new to your blog, so I’m not sure about what topics were already covered. I would like for you to write about the prevention and healing of scars. Thank you so much for all of your hard work! Merry Christmas!
I would love it if you shared more recipies with us, and alsotalked a bit more about natural makeup brands that you use. Also, if you know about of specific causes of acne on different parts on the face I would love to hear that information
Hello Fran,
I am going to be a first time mommy and I am really excited! But what is not too exciting for me now is I am suffering from pregnancy acne which occurs mostly near my jawline. It will be wonderful if you can share some tips on how to care for my acne because I am afraid of using harsh chemical products now. My skin tend to be more oily too, so hope you can help some of the mommies out here with this problem.
Happy holidays to you and everyone out there!
Mel
More about natural skin care products that can be found in Canada <3. I LOVE Bee Yummy Skin Food but the shipping and customs was killer =/
Have you tried egyptian magic yet?
Hey Fran!
Such a great site! I would like to see a feature about how to deal with skin that is very oily in parts, but at the same time quite sore and dry in others! ALWAYS suffered with this, and have yet to find a way of balancing it out!! Thanks Fran, merry christmas!!
Hai,i love all your tips. I want u to make a video about how to keep ur face free from acne everyday so that it wont come back.I’ve tried everythings from tea tree oil to baking powder to remove my acne.Yes,it competely gone for few days but it keep returning back.So, i want you to give us a tips on how to prevent it come back and what affordable products should i use. Thanks.
Hi Fran,
I’d like for you to do a video on how acne can positively affect someone.
Kevin.
Hi Fran. I have recently found your site and I love all of your advice, articles and videos. I have found it very helpful. I would really be interested in a video about colon cleansing in relation to acne – whether you think it is important or not.
Thanks!
xo
Hi Fran,
I would love more recipes– esp gluten free! Thanks!
Happy Holidays!
Hi Fran! I really love your blog, it helped me a lot with clearing my acne. I would like to know more about essential oils and homemade cosmetics that can help cure acne. Thank you for what you’re doing. You are such an amazing person!
Sveta
HI Fran, Merry Christmas! I would like to hear more about soap, especially more on bar soap. I personally use it and love it because it’s cheap and it works for me – I know it past blogs you’ve recommended against using it but for those of us with oily skin I think it can actually be good. Also, info on Chinese medicine would be great.
Hi,
Why don’t you tell us about some simple excercises/ yoga that one can do on daily basis, which not too time consuming and not very difficult, but can help in keeping the skin healthy and clear.
Hey Fran!
I would like to know more about acne during pregnancy. Some women seem to clear up when pregnant, others tend to break out. I recently had a baby and my skin cleared right up, and now I’m on the look out for acne again. Any insight would be great!
That it doesn’t matter a lot the condition of our skin.
try to encourage more the other people,maybe some of them are disperated.
i saw your advices also to not think a lot about our skin..
you can encourage more!:)
We can trust the Lord for everything!
God bless you and Merry Christmas to everyone!:)
Hi Fran, I would like to hear about the most common toxins that are present in our bodies from our diets, and how we can eliminate these toxins from our bodies so they no longer affect our skin.
Hey Fran! I luv the website- it helps me soo much! Especially when i’m feeling low. I’d luv to see you write and blog more about skin picking/squeezing and how destructive it is emotionall and physically etc, ways we can stop too. I really struggle with this.
Great gift. I hope to be the lucky winner!
Now to the question. What I would love for you to talk more about, is acne and wrinkles. As a almost 40 woman with acne I now find myself battling two problems at once. It seems treatments for wrinkles exacerbate my acne and treatments for acne dry out and worsen wrinkles. 99% of my acne I believe is hormonal, so I guess I would love more info on treating hormonal acne as well. Thanks and Happy Christmas!
Fran,
I NEED TO WIN THIS!! I HAVE HAD THE WORST YEAR AND WINNING THIS WOULD BE THE PERFECT POSITIVE WAY TO START 2010! NEXT YEAR, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU WRITE SOME STUFF ON ROSACEA AS I HAVE RECENTLY BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH IT. ACNE ROSACEA IS REALLY DEBILITATING AND YOUR KNOWLEDGE WOULD BE A MUCH APPRECIATED CONTRIBUTION!
Hey Fran!
I would really like to see a video about the positive aspects of acne in a person’s life. Sometimes I have a hard time dealing with my skin and leaving the house, but if there was a video for me and many others encouraging them that acne does not make them ugly and that you can actually learn a lot from having acne, I think that would be an incredible Christmas gift to all your readers!
I so enjoy reading your blog and learning new things about my body and health…
May Christ’s overflowing love shower you with blessings this Christmas season!
-Godmadusbeautiful-
Hi Fran!!
Your blog is spectacular and you give so many tips away that actually work!! I would love to see more posts and/or videos on nutrition and the skin. I am a big believer in nourishing the skin from the inside-out. So things like proper food combinations…eating for health, etc. are fascinating to me! Anywhoo…..thanks again for being you!
What a lovely idea to give away your awesome products!! I would LOVE to win
Hi I would like for you to write more about night time treatmeants like using Hanuka Honey for a face mask. Or even incorporating it into a natural scrub. I truly believe that organic face care is the BEST way to get rid of acne for good!
hi fran,
i enjoy your messages, encouragement and refreshing attitude. thanks!
i’d love to hear more about gentle cleansing and things helpful for rosacea… (i see someone else has mentioned this as well.)
happy holidays!
hey i would like you to do a video on what inspired you most to help others and how you became so good at knowing what is good for our skin (: thankss and btw love your websitee! xx
I just love your advice and would like to hear what you can offer me about fixing dry flaky skin without making it oily. This is a huge problem for me more in the wintertime, but also pretty bad in the summer. Thanks for your help!
Hi Fran, Your site has been a lifesaver for me. Thank you for all the helpful information. I would like to see more about controlling hormonal acne and stopping picking. Thanks.
Hi, this is really nice giveaway.
I hope that you will write more about how hormones effect acne and different suplements that promise to control hormonal imbalances during pms.
I would also like to know if there are some stomach diseases that affect acne.
Hi Fran, Thanks for everything you do. I have struggled with acne for many years. I have such sensitive skin that I cannot use anything on it. I have gotten to the point that I use only water and oils occasioanlly for blackheads. I have cleared a bit but would love to try something to help fight aging, hormonal breakouts, etc. I think a video or info about skin reactions to food (allergies) would be beneficial. Maybe something like which foods are most likely to cause reactions. I have found several myself through elimination and this may benefit others too. THANKS!
Hi Fran, god jul!
- well, Merry Christmas. I love reading your articels, the are so inspiring to me.
A though for next year, could be a video about zinc, and how it can improve acne over time.
Take care
What to write about next year… I love your website and I feel that you have covered quite a lot, but I still would love to get some more information about noncomedogenic ingriedients as the lists you’ve given us are not complete. OR perhaps you could give more reviews for products you think are noncommedogenic and good for us. I followed your advice and I’m using Philosophy cleanser and it works great but things like a moisturizer that’s only available in Australia doesn’t really make me want to buy it before trying (as opposed to having something available locally where I can take a sample first). I can honestly tell you that (at least here in NY) people who read your blog and are busy, like to hear which products in specific are worth checking out. Also, more info on which SPF products/SPF types are good for the skin. I heard that not all SPF are gentle for us with acne prone skin. Also, would love to read more about herbal teas/remedies, and stress management. Thank you for a great website, Fran! Cheers, Rob.
Hey Fran,
I’am loving the idea of winning this wonderful package. I love your site and all your topics about acne, I learn so much from you. However I still suffer from acne and would love to learn more nutritious recipes that would work for my acne breakouts as well as healing scars… (they just won’t go away!)
Hi Fran,
I love to see more about the relationship between stress and breakouts. My acne is so different when I’m under stress.
I would like discussions on alternative cures. For exam, reviews on whether things like accupuncture, or accupressure can actually contribute to improving your skin.
In all honesty I’d really love it if u could cover what u have in more depth – a more radical and accessible approach.
While the mini-guide is fantastic, I’m sure MANY readers would appreciate if u could extend it to cover the different skin types in detail (with clear pictures and examples of each, even perhaps those submitted from us guys) because I’m still not sure of my own. Pictures would REALLY help for visual confirmation.
And from there u could do a revised edition of the ‘root cause of acne’, with pictures again because im still not sure having read it if im hormonal or have an inflamed liver or candida, an image of each would REALLY help and even a short video description on each.
Then as many people have aforementioned suitable skin care regimens for each. Since most of ur vlogs are from ur own experience of different regimens based on how ur skin reacted, i think by extending the mini-guide or making vlogs in this fashion i.e. braching off from skin types and root causes to specific regimens ppl can interactively identify what skin type they have, the cause and a suitable regimen for them.
I think ppl would appreciate that as I often felt confused and frustrated with the flood of info about different regimens in ur forum and articles.
Also i think it would be cool if u made a video about a trip to a Naturopath and/or a Chinese herbalist to really motivate ppl.
Thankyou so much for ur contributions Fran, I know u get this a lot but u have been such an inspiration and help to me- Your such a wonderful person.
That prize would mean the world to me! Thanks
Hey Fran,
What about making a couple different lists of the best things someone can do to keep their acne at bay and their skin fresh and healthy. One list could be for more expensive items and the other list could be for those who can’t afford much. There seems to be a lot of great info out there but it would be nice to have a short and sweet “best of” tips pack compiling all the most popular acne prevention tips, etc.
Hello Fran,
Thats really nice of you to give away this wonderful prize package. Those cacao beans look delightful, always wanted to try those. As you’ve mentioned before in one of your videos, what you eat has a MAJOR impact on skin health. I would like to see more videos and blogs about what to specifically eat for a healthy system and possible allergy foods that may contribute to acne. Also, what supplements are particularly good in general for skin health? Thank you for your commited work to help us all with our skin!!
Hi! I’m new to your site but am so glad to have found it! I’m 27 and started my battle with acne at 20– so frustrating!
I’m not sure if you’ve covered this yet but I’d love to know what to do to get rid of residual redness from old acne–
thanks so much!
I’d like you to blog about specific skin types, I am unsure of what exactly I am – oily, dry, combination? It depends on the climate and the time of year for me, so I am always confused as to what products I should look for. I also agree that pictures would be fantastic! Thanks for helping so many, I’ve really enjoyed your blog!!!
Hi Fran!
I used to think oatmeal was the most disgusting thing in the world!
Thank you so, so much for such wonderful inspiration! I never would have thought I would be eating organic oatmeal with raw cacao nibs, chia seeds and agave every morning
I would definitely like to see videos, especially on product reviews and advice on healthy snacks. Have you heard about “Egyptian Magic”? It’s an olive oil based skin cream that supposedly is good for scar reduction. http://www.egyptianmagic.com/
Thanks again!
Hi Fran, I would love if you continue to talk about how to stay balanced in all aspects of life and the mind/body connection- which for all of us here, effects the skin.
I like the posts on eating healthfully (vegan, raw, etc.) so you could do some more of those topics. I also love the product recommendations (Bee Yummy Skin Food makes my day, every day!) so keep those coming. Also, the tie-in of our emotional and skin health is interesting to me. Finally, as a (mostly) reformed skin picker, I have a couple deep, round “ice pick” scars – one on my nose and one on my forehead – that just won’t go away and really hurt my self esteem. If you could address those, that would be great.
Hi Fran,
I would like for you to talk more about how to get rid of acne scars and what foods/supplements are best to prevent stress and anxiety.
hey i would like to know more about detoxification [detox], have you tried it? i heard its good for your skin and body. could it be dangerous? what methods are there for a vegetarian willing to try this?
Hi Fran! Thanks so much for all your help so far! its been an incredible journey with my skin! I would love to hear you talk about scarring, nutritional diets for preventing acne, redness & solutions for that, and some of the best acne products available at drug stores. Thanks so much again! Happy holidays!
Hi Fran!
I’m a newcomer to your blog, but I know I’m going to be sticking around for a while. (Your hot chocolate recipe is amazing, by the way!) Since I haven’t had a chance to really scour the page, I’m not sure if these things are already addressed.
1) It would be fantastic if you had a few short cooking videos about how to prepare meals that are really healthy.
2) I really like the way you designed your blog to make it feel like we’re chatting with a friend, but I would love to know more about you as a person and your background in health and skin care!
Thanks so much for your commitment to this blog and your readers!
Happy Holidays!
Love your website, Fran! Any new information about hormonal acne is always appreciated, as well as product reviews on natural items such as Nature’s Cure. Also, what to look for in a naturopath, I’m looking at going to one, but I’m not sure exactly what qualifications to look for and what to expect once I’m there. Thanks so much, happy holidays!
I would like you to review and discuss different make-up foundations. So many products claim to help or not exacerbate acne-prone skin… I’d like to know what you find tot be the most natural and best for the skin.
Hi Fran;
I would love to see a blog about some natural remedies/products to help our skin look younger and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
Thanks. Happy Holidays!

Hi there, please enter me into this giveaway! I’d love to hear you talk about a Fact or Fiction? type of video, where you cover some well-known “facts” about acne, and tell us whether its really true or not. For example linking acne to certain types of food, health practices, skin care products, etc. Thanks!
I learn so much from this site! I want to learn more about how to control hormonal acne! I’m currently suffering from acne coming from hormones so it would be nice to know what to take to control them without the uses of birth control pills.
I like both your videos and writen work, but if i had to pick one it would be the writen work as you put down your skincare ideas and recipies for different products which are helpful, it also helps when you recomend products.
happy holidays
xoxo

hi fran,
i would love for you to talk more about ROSACEA, and everything associated with it; alternative routes to treating it instead of harsh medicines & topicals from a Dr.
thanks !
I love your website! It has been such a wonderful resource for me so thank you so much! Recently, I have stumbled upon Carley’s Clear and Smooth, which can be found at https://www.clearandsmoothskin.com/index.php. I know you have blogged about Benzoyl Peroxide being evil, however I have found Carley’s to be wonderful. I would love to hear your review of the products after further research. Thanks again!
Hello Fran!
I would be so superhappy if i won that package with all that lovely presents for christmas!!
I would like you to write more about candida, even though you have written a few post about it it would be wonderful if you could write some more with even more information and tips on how to get rid of it, stick to the diet and such. Ha det bra! hugs from sweden
Great giveaway! I have tried Live Live products and love them, and I would love to try the other ones mentioned. I have been struggling with skin problems for many many years and have been enjoying reading your blog. It is nice to know I am not alone!
I like to learn more about product reviews. I have tried everything in the book and not sure if I am missing something a product that would help. Also more on stress and acne, in addition to emotional help when dealing with white heads, scars,etc. I just get so embarrassed that I never what to leave my house. So any tips on covering up acne would be great too. Thanks!
I’d also love to hear more on oils. Thanks!
Hello fran
Thank you for your vids they really made a difference im even helping out my brother clear up his skin its a genetic thing i guess.
Anyways i would make more vids about yami food recepies, and a video about what others think
of you when you have acne which is kinda the
reason why we’re feeling downed and stressed at times.
thx for reading, Marcel
It would be great to blog about manuka essential oil, scarring and how to get rid of it and hemp oil.
I would like to know more about how to get rid of scarring and wrinkles.
It would be great if you could discuss natural and safe remedies (do’s and do not’s) to keeping the skin clear during pregnancy.
Hi Fran I would love to hear or see you blog about sensitize skin. Thanks!
please recommend some cheaper products, like drugstore products that most of us can get a hold of, without purchasing it online and paying the shipping and taxes! thanks!
Hello Fran, I think it’s be a good idea to do a small article about how some hair products my affect you acne(people that do many wet styles using gels, greasy leave in conditioners etc), and possible natural substitutes for such. Also you could talk about recognizing some “stages”or different types of acne like you have already, but letting people know how to treat and manage each( ex. XY:these are more potent to be infected if picked on, whiteheads: at which time of “maduration”it can be picked on in order to remove the zit without leaving a mark on the skin, and also it is easier for the pore to close. Things like that. Have a good Christmas!
Happy Holidays,
I would love to hear more about the usage of burdock for the skin – have you tried it? it works great internally and externally but I don’t know why it does. Especially for cystic acne, a strong tea of burdock root can reduce the swelling in a day. Also, anything more about detoxing in a way that doesn’t overload your skin all at once? Thanks for all your great info!!
Oh, wow, so many comments
))
I am interested in the hemp oil review, food recipes and maybe you could write about chest and back acne? For me it is a difficult issue.
Thanks Fran and all the beautiful for Xmas!
Hi Fran!
Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
You could use some advice on topics, I hear?
Well how about more recipes, dairy and wheat-free,
I’m having trouble with this you see.
Also how to gain some weight with a diet like that,
cause I would love to put on some fat!
Info on acne and a leaky gut would be great,
I really messed up my colon with what I ate!
As in, what can cause this and what can we do,
yeah I’ld really love to hear that from you!
And how can we know which naturopath is reliable,
cause there are many out there who are just horrible!
I think that is a very big deal,
cause we need every second to heal!
I just love reading about health and stuff like this,
so info on good books would be a bliss!
Well, that’s all…got to go, have some cooking to do,
Hope you’ll like this christmas poem I’ve written for you!
I pray Santa’s also hearing it,
!
And that he will bring me this pack, cause I’m loving it
Thanks for everything Fran, keep up the good work!
Smiles accross the miles,
Saskia
Hey Fran! I’d like to see more about the cystic acne and the harmful effects of oral contraceptives and other medications and the response of the skin.
Otherwise I love your sight!!
I would love to hear something about what is out there to help pre-existing scars. THanks.
Jessica
Hi Fran! You have sooo many wonderful forums/videos/blog entries…just loads of great info! I think it would be so cool if you were able to see how much you’ve helped change our lives, not just our skin, but our attitudes, confidence level and outlook on life. Acne is a battle for soo many people and you’ve given us this beautiful holistic way to fight it off! I think it’d be cool if you had a “before and after” thing so to speak. I’m sure tons of people have left comments about how great they look and feel now, but it’d be cool to see before and after pictures, before and after skin routine changes, before and after attitudes, before and after everything! I would love to hear more about how acne does not have to make you feel ugly because it’s NOT ugly. I read your email the other day about a guy who thought you were hot even when you thought you were at your worst. That was so uplifting to me and I was so blessed because the same week I got that email, someone I go to school with stopped in the library where I work and said, “Hi, beautiful!” Just goes to show you that not everyone is looking at your acne and the problem is a lot smaller than we blow it up to be. Thanks for everything and keep up the fantastic work! May God bless!
And Merry Christmas!!!!!
Dee
I would like to hear about alternative therapy’s such as detoxification, far infared, acupunture, etc.
Hello Fran,
I would love to see more videos about how having a positive mind-set and loving yourself can improve the condition of our skin!
Thanks and Merry Christmas!
I would love to hear about ance and anti aging products for sensitive skin. I am over 40 and It’s difficult to find products that work to combat wrinlkes and acne combined. Keep up the good work. Happy holidays to you and yours!
I love your website!
I would like your advice on if tanning helps acne- and also what type of typical diet should you eat to have healthy skin?
Your blog has been saving my skin!!!!!
My Acne has been halved… My Food intake has almost been completely revolutionized…
I would love to find out more about kitchen remedies for the skin. Avocado masks.. I LOVE your baking soda scrub! Etc..
I have started using Live Live Bee Yummy Food on your recommendation. How amazing!?
Thank you Fran…
I would like to see you make a video of your monthly insperations. For example a certain person or experience. I truly believe that when you notice what’s good around you, your skin looks good for you
Hi Fran!
I think a really good topic would be easy ways to live a better natural lifestyle. I’m 17 and it’s difficult to figure everything out when I don’t have a lot of time or money, and I’m sure I’m not the only one! It would be helpful if you provided some easy recipes. Maybe show a video of a day in the life of Fran! I really appreciate all the advise. My acne has really cleared up since I’ve been reading the information on here!:)
Hi Fran,
Without having read your book yet, and without in-depth raw food knowledge, I would enjoy knowing how to make this life style practical….what to buy and reputable types of stores where I could buy this food.
Fran,
I found your site about a month ago and have really loved it and found it useful. I’m midly interested in acupressure and how it could be used to help cure acne (and even if it works!)
Thanks!
Jessica
Hey Fran!
Thank you for all the work you have done for everyone on highonhealth.
I would like to see more advice on how to adapt to your surroundings. What I mean is say if you have to eat unhealthy school meals, what should you eat/do to counteract this? So what factors should you change to adapt to this, such as amount of fruit/veg, water, exercise and lifestyle? Hope this makes sense!
Thanks again, and Merry Christmas!!!
Helena
Hi Fran!
I have mild acne and am trying to use only natural & organic skin products, bee yummy is a wonderful moisturizer and is great for skin but it doesn’t seem to help my acne go away.. It would be nice if you could introduce more natural acne skin care.
I wanted to thank you for starting this program and helping so many ppl suffering from acne, your emails and forum are really helpful. You are amazing, keep it up!!
Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to everyone!
Love, Ella
Hy Fran.
Merry Christmas to you!!!! I would like you to do a video or article about emu oil because I have amazing experiences with it and I would like to share those with others through you.
Keep up the good work!
I would love to hear about some more raw food recipes!
Hi Fran
Was wondering if you could do an article about the link between cutting out meat from your diet and BAD skin?? I have heard from two different people now that zinc is an essential nutrient for healthy skin and that a great source of this is red meat. Also that many young women are zinc deficient. Could not help but notice the condition of my skin deteriorate when I moved to London to live alone. Since I no longer had to cook meat anymore (my male flatmates at uni would grumble if I cooked a meal without meat!) I just did without – thinking – it is expensive and fatty and too much hassle to cook. However, sometimes when I am eating out I get a craving for a big juicy burger or steak and I just have to have one. Maybe this is my body’s way of telling me I am zinc-deficient?
Anyway, the point is, I don’t necessarily believe that going vegetarian is going to work for everybody. I can’t help but notice that the people around me who have acne are young skinny women who don’t eat meat, just like me! It just clicked for me about a week ago, so this weekend I did a little experiment. I ate some form of meat with every meal – I started the weekend with a pizza face and now I wouldn’t say my skin is amazing, but it is dramatically better than it was two days ago. The scars are healing in two days rather than in two weeks (or longer
) and my skin feels REALLY soft. Is this just a coincidence???
Would be really interested on you doing some research on this article!!! xxx
I would love to learn more about antioxidants and how to prevent againg naturally.
Hi Fran!
I would like for you to do a video on herb and vitamin supplements that help acne. I know that some herbs are said to control hormones, or detox your blood and body. I would like to hear what you think on this subject. THANKS!
I started reading your blog about 2 months ago and my skin has taken a significant turn for the better! The best thing I have learnt is to stop picking at my skin. This was a major problem for me and was a part of my life for over 10 years. I would take all of my life problems out on my face and would hide for weeks in my apartment ashamed of the damage I did to my face. It was seriously begining to ruin my life. Whenever I had urges I would just play one of your videos and it would give me the strength to restrain myself from touching my face. So, with that said, I think you are a huge inspiration to many young girls like myself to overcome their obsession with how they look and the battle they have with acne that I would love to hear more about the physcological side of acne suffering. I really believe that we percieve our acne to look worse than how others see it and how strange it is that if we wake up with a few spots on our face it can change our whole agenda for the day and how we feel about ourselves. It shouldnt be like this! We should almost learn to love our spots (a little crazy I know) and be patient and give our skin enough time to heal itself. This topic is very important I feel and it would be great if you could shed some more light on it.
Keep up the great work and I look forward to reading and watching your blogs in 2010!
Happy New Year my friend!
Kristen
Hi, I love everything in your website, really great work !
however, I would love to learn more about hormones and more importantly, can you write about the dark brown spots resulting from acne?
thank you
I think you should write out some healthy meal recipes that can help clear up skin. I know you always talk about foods that can help clear acne from skin but it would be great if you could research some great, tasty recipes that included those foods. Thanks Fran!
What would I like you to write about? Supplements and herbs. That little is often the best policy and that to really gain health is to get your nutrients from the food you eat. Stating that sometimes self diagnosing and giving yourself a huge influx of artifical vitamins and like are damaging and often a major contribute to the worsening of acne. I have discovered from personal experience that the less anal I am about my health and acne the better my life has is. My acne is virtually non existent in fact it’s not even acne anymore xx
But to add to this I have no interests to win the goody bag as I have myself found a great rountine. Just wanted to say how i feel x
Many hanks for the website and experience you share! In the next year I would like to know more about your skincare regime and more new ways to treat the skin naturally, since something good for one, does not fit the other. Also, something about nutritioning the skin would be useful, for products, that fight skin problems, often leave skin without the necessary nutrition level.
Your site is wonderfull and a lot of help!
I would like to know more recipes of home made treatments and foods. also on nutritioning the sking even more, since the cold weather has a harsh effect on it.
More interviews and research articles on skincare regimen and products would also be a lot of help.
I would like to hear about hormonal acne and the various ways to maintain the balance. Via skin care, supplements, food, raw food, etc…
Thanks
I normally have oily skin, but recently with the dry weather winter weather here in the USA and possibly the type of face wash I was using, my skin has almost created a mask of dry scaly skin all over. Gross! I know you’ve mentioned before you have dry skin, I’d like to hear more how you handle extreme dry skin without breaking your skin out?
Thanks for the opportunity!

What natural products we can use to treat acne instead of buying the expensive make up, cleansing products and moisturisers.
Recipies for yummy acne friendly meals.
Thank you so much for your website and advice. Great work.
I love your site. It has been a godsend for me, as an adult dealing with acne. i have yet to try your products and would love the opportunity to. I would love to see some blogs on oils that help heal the skin as well as supplements or even eating habits that can slowly be acquired.
Firstly, thank-you for all the “to the point information” you have been a great help to me. I was wondering if you could do a video on ways that you help to cope with stress in your life. Do you meditate, do kick boxing, count to 5. What would you recommend for keeping stress levels down?
I would love it if you to talk about easy detox,simple skin care routines, and acne scaring. Also i would love to know your opinion about drug store facial care products !
Happy Holidays to you Fran! You have a wonderful site. It is so great to read a blog about Acne that is fun, interesting, and educational.
I would like to see a video about stress. I remember reading somewhere that 56% of people with acne go into depression. So, it would be helpful to tell us more about how to reduce stress and how to deal with acne while we try to cure it.
-Todd
i loved! the article you wrote about eckhart tolle it’s made a huge difference in my skin when nothing else seemed to help i’d love to see more on your state of “being” also would like to know about nayural forms of vitamin a comparable to retinol and homeopathic remedies including silica for treatment of scars keep growing and prospering girl!
Hi fran!
Im such a big fan of your site, and I have watched it expand for a long time now! though, I haven’t at all been active, so this is my first time leaving a comment..
I think you should do more tips on routines for realaxing, some videos with good yoga positions etc. This is an aspect of taking care of myself and my trobled skin that I have only started exploring, so much thanks to you! But I want more! I am still in the process of realising how much a holistic approach to my acne is benefiting me. So pls pls lots more of that!
lots of love
anna
Hi Fran!
I would like you to write about meditation and relaxtion! I’ve realized how much it means to my health to feel relaxed, calm and in touch with my self. This is a big one! But it can be quite tricky to get in to it in the beginning…
much love to you /Emma
I love your site Fran. I would probably like to see more remedies for both acne and aging. I’m only 30, but currently battling both. No break in between for me. Thanks!
on herbals for migraines!
We hear about acne being irratating outside but l’ve noticed most of it is caused when l’m stressed or not living a good live style.I would want next year to be focused on how health and your food is connected with how you appear and issues like mental health issues like anxiety and isomnia because l think this is all connected and you need a balance and when something is inbalanced it effects everything including skin.
Thanks
I would like to know more about what to eat when you have acne, or maybe what not to eat? I have read all kinds of things about not eating wheat or dairy, or even other grains because they are “inflammatory.” I often feel like there is nothing left to eat, especially on the go.
Thanks, Fran!
Hi Fran,
It would be great to read or hear more about the health of our gut, the health of our bodies, the health of the soil, and how these relate to each other. Demineralization would be an interesting subject too, again related to the previous ones. Does it affect our skins, and how? And finally: sleep! We aren’t getting enough of it…
Good night!
Hello! Love your site. I have been living and researching on many of the same things that you do and love that you are bringing this healthy way of thinking to the mainstream! I would like more info on diet. My internist helped me create a diet to minimize my chronic sinius infections wich took care of the sinus problems indefinitly and cleared my skin as well! So maybe info and research about adrinal fatigue and liver malfunction due to (toxins/industrialized food/birth control/pharmaceuticals) and how it can effect integrity of your skin. The cook book I live by is, Nourshing Traditions. Half cook book and half text book, lol. I may not be an expert but I know that eating by the style the book is talking about cleared my skin in conjunction with my natural face treatment. I would love a review on my fave product to see what you think, Evan Healy face care.
I would like to know more about blemishs and if there are any good but not so expensive products to use to reduce or get rid of them. And if there are any natural ways to do so, since all I know is lemon, but it would be nice to have some other natural ways to help reduce blemishes.
recipes for healthy but yummy food. Or how to prevent/get rid of scarring. Even when i don’t pick, once it goes away i’m still left with a deep red mark.
Hi fran
i would love you to talk about how to improve dry hair.
thanks
Hi Fran,
Please let us know how to get rid of black marks or just marks in general, after the acne is gone. I have chocolate brown skin and the marks look horrible, especially on my back and arm area (keratosis).
Enjoy the holidays!
I have a comment after reading a lot of posts asking for you to teach/help people have positive outlooks and better self esteem. I just wanted to say that you can’t just “give” yourself better self esteem and say, “I am fine the way I am”, without doing anything. If your unhappy your unhappy. I think positive self esteem comes from the fact that you are taking time and initiative to grow as a person and educate yourself on basic things like health, food and stress. There is no right or wrong that can define guidlines so you can say, “Ah I am good now”. But as long as you are learning, educating yourself and willing to put in some work, then you can sit back and say, “Ah, I am responsible and and doing what I can. I should feel good about that and love who I am.”
Hey i would loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee if you would write about certain makeup we could wear and how much food really affects acne ( i know you made videos about some food etc) but i always get fascinated about it! ahah thanks! i love your channel!
*Hey Fran *
WOW that is alot of comments !!
First of all, thank you for the amazing efforts you’ve put into helping and motivating all of your followers. I can honeslty say that you’ve helped me alot !!
I would love it if you could continure what your’e doing … also talk a bit more about products … and what we can use that is both beneficial and not harmful … skincare, makeup, etc .. :
*Laura*
I would like to hear more about the spiritual side of haling the skin. It would be nice to learn about things like meditation and affirmations. i’ve heard these things are very beneficial and can have excellent effects on the skin.
I would love more recipes, especially raw food recipes, and DIY home beauty recipes.
Home beauty recipes would be awesome!!
I have been trying to go for all non animal tested products. I’ve managed to switch everything except my cleanser which is too hard to find a good cleanser that does not test on animals. Also can you clearly state your regimen. I see all kinds of masks but i”m wondering when do you incoporate these products in.
Btw really appreciate your help with a lot of things!

First of all, Happy Holidays!!
Hi Fran! =D I LOVE your videos, they have helped me so much. I don’t have clear skin yet, but your videos have aided me in understanding the causes of acne, and how to treat them. My skin has improved considerably though and your video about “The Emotional Side of Acne” really helped me feel a bit better about myself.
Anywho, I’m rambling, so I really just want to say that you’re so inspiring and keep making your videos =)
I hope I win this contest, I really want to try the Bee Yummy and Clay skin care!
I would really really really love it if you could do a video about some home-made acne remedies(masks, toners…). You know, with ingredients that we can get at the grocery store! I would also like it if you could do a video something like the “Emotional Side of Acne”. Maybe you could “interview” people who have or had acne! And talk about the bullying and harrassement you can get when you have acne and how to overcome what other people say about you.
Thank-you for reading this incredibly long letter…I know you must be frustrated! =P I know I would be if I were you… Anyways, thank=you so much!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Tattina <3
hey fran,
actually I think that you should talk about common products used like : neutrogena, proactive, clear skin.. ex.
and teach us either if its good or not, or either if they really help your skin and your health, and homemade skin care like healthy masks for those who cant afford to go out and buy acne products.
More awesome recipes! … for food that is. I’m a pretty strict vegetarian who stays away from ALL meats and dairy, and while it seems easy to have a diet of just fruit, vegetables, beans, and grains… it’s certainly easier said than done… especially when I’m trying to go more RAW like you have (Which is very inspiring by the way!). Finding new recipes is always exciting which helps in keeping me from getting bored. I’m a pretty visual person, so videos are really great
Not sure if I should include my email here as well… but whatever. – kay.rebekah@yahoo.com
Happy Christmas!!!
hey fran,
i was wondering if you could talk about spots which are different to the common acne spots. i get loads of small spots/pimples rather than a few bigs ones so im not sure if i should treat them in the same way you would treat normal acne. also what should you do if your skin gets better/worse at certain times of the month? another thing i have noticed is a lot of people talk about the best way to treat dry or oily skin…but what should you do if you have combination skin?
i would really appreciate it if you could give me some advice on these things. thanks!
You are absolutely enchanting Fran, and you’ve helped me so much, I can’t thank you enough. I would love it for you to post or video more about Nourishing Traditions, and what your thoughts on those theories are. Also, I love your new-agey posts, I think you could expound more on philosophy, if you can relate it of course.
How about a meal program for acne sufferers?
Video and blog posts on teenage acne, thanks.
Lots more from Ananda!!! She’s great! I’d like to hear her talk about different ways to detox the body, how to do a cleanse or detox safely, and more about how to naturally balance our hormones with supplements or whatever. Thanks!
julie.westdal@gmail.com
I love the work and dedicaton you have put into helping others with their acne. Your fight with acne is now over and mine is barely beginning. Thanks to you maybe my fight with acne will finally be at end. I think next year you should talk about body acne and how to cure it.
I would love to know more about makeup that is acne-friendly. I know a lot of kinds are natural and say they do not clog your pores, but I never know what to believe. Acne is so damaging to your self confidence, and makeup is one thing that me feel pretty when my skin is breaking out, but at the same time it may just be making it worse! Most of the time my skin is so bad that I couldn’t imagine going out without coverup on, but will it ever fully clear up if I continue to wear makeup? Is there a brand that does not clog your pores as much as others? Thanks!
hey fran i would like you to talk more about the excerscising and more of what you can do rather than products. like sleeping more water and excercise and maintaing stress. i aslo would like if you gather a group of teenagers like you could have them tlk bout how acne has affected them so we maybe can learn how to handle it . also how vitamins can even maintain great healthness more into vitamins!!
hi Fran! Happy Holidays.. All your videos have been very helpful since I am also suffering from Acne.. It would even be great if you do a before and after video of the products that you have been using or the products that you recommend.. Take a sample group, from dry to oily skin so that everyone can relate to it. Thanks! =)
Hey Fran I would love if you would do more on spot treatment. I am on the OCM treatment right now and my skin has been feeling much better, but I still have pimples so I would love if you would do more spot treatments. Thanks!
I’d love to hear more about natural, skin friendly make up that doesn’t contain a lot of chemicals.
Hi there Fran,
I just discovered your website a few months ago, and i have completely changed my skincare to organic, and so far, by following your tips, i have noticed an extreme differnce in my acne and skin condition. I think it’d be great if you could start including makeup tips as well as seperate vidoes on similar skin conditions such as coldsores. Otherwise i think you have done great in your videos!
Hey, I would love to hear about good ways to moisterize dry skin with acne and also what to do about the flaky skin that comes from skin that is too dry.
Dear Fran,
I love your website, and I’d love to see some videos on if acne is caused by stress, I’m a big procrastinator and my acne is really bad for some reason, I’d love to see if acne is actually caused by stress or not.
Thanks a lot, and Happy Holidays.
Marianna
I love your site and find it difficult to think of things you haven’t already covered well. But, perhaps more about how to determine your skin type in order to find the best course of treatment.
Thanks for your work!
Merry Christmas!
Personally, it is hard to think of something new I would like you to talk about next year because it seems like you already discuss everything I am interested in! I love your recipes though so more of those would be nice!
Thanks for everything!
Hello!!!
I love everything in your site, I’ve found it very interesting, and overall useful, wha i’d like you to write is about after the acne, when your skin has scratches, what you can do about it?, any advice to aply at home?
thank you!!! and Merry Xmas!!!!!!
hey Fran,
I would love to hear you talk more about stores where you’ve shop for your natural products here in canada. its hard to find stores where they sell good products.
thanks
Love your site! I’m ADDICTED! I would like to see more personalized skin regimens for different skin types. Most of what you blog about (for dry skin like yours) is helpful, but I have combination skin. Others have oily skin, etc.
Another thing that would make a fun video is showing us HOW to prepare a natural facial scrub, mask, or body scrub.
I would honestly like to hear more about reducing acne scarring.
Also, more about meditation, self-help, positive affirmations, and state of mind.
Thank you for your wonderfully informative site.
Happy holidays and nothing but best wishes your way! =)
how about a video about urine as an acne remedy? I’m not making fun, its a real treatment! I just would like to know your thoughts, cause I heard it works! haha thanks
This year I would like to learn more about foods that
help save our skin from the damage stress and polution
can cause. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you Miss Fran!
Hi Fran,
you can show us how to stay acene free,tell us why and how we get acene,or you can make videos on some healthy foods or snacks and tell us how they will benefit our skin,or make a video on what things you should avoid for healthy skin,or a video on good oral hygiene <(dont know how to spell that),or things we can do everyday to detoxify our bodys.
Thats all and thanks Fran for giving us the oppurtunity to take of our skin.Especially for people like me that are on a budget.
Love,
Rachel
I would love to hear more about:
)
-removing acne scarring
-if one should adjust their skin care during hot/humid weather and dry/cold weather
-the good skincare ingredients to look for in skincare products, if they should be creamy, gel etc. (I live in Canada and the products you recommend are hard to come by
-light therapy
-holistic treatments
-the power of the mind/law of attraction
Love what you’re doing and keep on doing it
Hey Fran,
I want to thank you for all the help you have given me! I would like to see more about products and ideas for minimizing shaving irritation on the face and in other places requiring shaving.
Thanks,
Brandon
Hi Fran, thanks for all your info, it’s really helpful.
I would like you to discuss what women can do to help balance out their hormones, especially if they are not on the pill.
Thanks x
I would like it if you would show more of natural skin treatments that one can make by using different natural ingredients.
Hi Fran,
I love your site and have taken on a lot of the methods that you blog about. I am really interested in living a healthier lifestyle. Perhaps you could blog about easing your way into it. I’m a college student, and it is hard to find time when you have school and jobs. I would love to read more about yoga poses I could do at home, or meditation practices. Maybe a few videos with someone you know (or you) doing a yoga session… I’ve looked on youtube, and there aren’t many good ones.
Thanks!
-Removing the scars, or blackhead under my skin.
-What kind of vitamins should I take?
-Healthy food to eat
-How can we eat chocolate without breaking out? because I ALWAYS break out when i eat chocolate.
-home remedy?
THanks,
celine
acne causes a breakdown in skin cells mainly collagen does not renew which leaves ugly scars. A review on collegen supplements or anything that could help prevent cell breakdown due to acne would be helpful.
Hi Fran
Have enjoyed reading your blogs this year. Keep up the great job
My suggestions for the New Year blog would be about the following:
* more about body acne
* more ideas on keeping ‘positive attitude’ & confidence etc to share
* sugar free dark chocolate brands and other delicious heathy snacks that are out there?
* healthy skin care products
Again what you have done so far is absolutely great. I enjoy reading thats for sure
I have been home in Brissy for nearly a month now, trying to figure out where I can find my beloved sprouted bread in a big loaf
aaaah so good to be home 
Merry Christmas Fran and all the readers too
Your blogs are awesome and have really helped my skin!
My suggestions for the new year would be:
-How to get rid of those annoying white bumps called milia.
-Your opinion on what vitamins should be taken to improve the skin.
Have a great holiday!
Looks like you have plenty to read…thanks for taking the time. I’ve been on the hunt for my cure…I think everyone has something different that will help them. I’ve been on a ph balance kick. I would be interested in your take on how body ph affects acne.
i would love to see a blog relating to acne scaring and the options people have with the after effects of acne.
I love your website !
What I would like to know more about is what to eat and drink to prevent acne and blackheads. It would also be interestíng to know how to know which creme is good for specific skin types and what the creme does, I have really dry skin and I never seem to find anything that works…also recipies, to different facials and so on whith ingredients that everybody has at home
Hi Fran!
I would love to read more product reviews!
It helped me a lot, and saved me a lot of money
Merry Christmas!
Hi Fran, I would love to see a Head to Toe of natural healthcare. Starting off with a blog about your hair for example and ending with a blog on your toenails
It could be a weekly or monthly blog (as I know it’s a lot of work!).
I would like to read about products, supplements, foods, etc for are great for your hair, for example. With tips about how to take care of a part of your body or skin on an area of your body.
Hi! I also would like to know more on skincare regime in cold weather, since here in Europe, it is realy cold some times and skin then goes crazy…
Some alternatives on beeyummy moisturizer would also be useful, since it does not fit to everyone. I also wait for more interviews with some doctors and other specialists.
Take care!
Hi,
I would like to learn more about how/ways to control sugar cravings and how to maintain healthy diet! You mentioned the 90% good healthy food and 10% good for the soul food rule, which I really liked because I really found it hard to cut sugar out completely. Also more about getting rid of blackheads1 Truely thanks for all your help! x
Hi Fran, first I would like to thank you for your website, it is being very useful! Since I have started reading you (about 3 weeks ago) I have quickly stopped consuming dairy products and reduced significantly white sugar in my diet and my skin seems to improve everyday!
But there is something I would like to check… about bread! I really like eating bread… it is so hard to give it up… I would like to know more about what kind of bread could you eat, or not, if you are sticking to an acne free diet.
Thanks you very much!!
Regards
and Merry Christmas to all!
Hi Fran, I would love for you to write about more organic and raw food recipes. Since I started reading your site I have completely changed my eating habits and I am always looking for new ideas about what to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinners.
Definitely scar treatments for 3D or textural(sunken in or popping out) scars.
There’s so many conflicting treatments out there and most if not all doctors out there just want to push you to try their most expensive treatment and give false promises.
Maybe also what we can do or eat during the healing process to reduce scar formation or maximise the efficiency of treatments. (I don’t pick but still have the scars)
Hi Fran, I would like to thank you for all the great advice you have provided for so many of us. Your site has made me realise that there are many things you can do to cure acne, but you have to be committed to doing something about.
I thought maybe you could talk about home-made remedies and maybe people could also share their thoughts on it. Plus on polycystic ovaries syndrome, which affects many women and they tend to suffer from skin problems and many other problems. Also where we could buy some of the product if we live in UK or any other country.
Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and all the readers!!!
Quisiera que nos hablaras mucho mas de ti el año que viene
creo que eres una persona muy interesante, muy buena persona, apesar de que no te conosco en persona,tiene buena energía y también me gustaría saber como quitar las manchitas del acne en la cara, como quitar esas marcas oscuras de ojeras.
mcuhas gracias
saludos Y feliz navidad!
Merry christmassss
hey frann!!!
i really realy appreciate all the advice u’ve given me!!
it really has helped me a LOT!!
i would love it if you could write about how to get rid of acne scars!!
Hiya, I would like more info please regarding kombucha tea which works similarly as kefir does, using live healthy bacteria. It’s meant to be a great healthy drink with wonderful benefits for the entire body. Hope to find out soon how you went with the coconut kefir water. Thank you, keep up the great work.
Hi Fran,
I would like it if you talked a little bit more about your diet on your blog !
Hi Fran,
I would like you to explain about how to completely cleanse oneself of candida.
(Btw I love your site (: )
howdy!
I would iike to see a video about. How to transition into a vegetarian? or how to seek help or advice for acne suffer, to be open about it. i am ashamed so i am to embarrassed to ask for help. so, i just hold it all inside.
wel, thank you for all your advices you post on your web page. they help me a lot.
Hello all, I really would love to hear about scar therapy, improvement of skin with real scars. Also about recovering your self esteem after so long with acne, it seems that even when it is clearing you still behave and feel like a person with acne and interact differently with people to hide your face. I really believe having the right makeup for some of us can really help in the short run, but it’s so hard to choose one that won’t mess with your skin. And to address how to slowly get yourself off of the habit of makeup then after wearing it. Anyway those are my thoughts, keep up the good work, I appreciate it!
Hi Fran, I’m interested in learning about how to stop the urge to pick at my skin. I’ve tried a few things, but nothing works all the time. I still find myself picking and afterwards I feel so humiliated and ashamed. Thanks!
Hey Fran, <3
I would like you to blog and video ( as I love listening to the videos) about balancing our PH levels and how to reduce acidic levels in our bodies and rising alkaline and what causes these imbalances and how it effects our skin and what to do. I love whenever you remind us acne sufferers that it’s not only diet and what we put on our faces its just as much if not more how me feel…etc. I have bad acne for five years, but I love your site. I know I will fix this problem thanks to You!!!
Hi Fran,
I would like to see reviews of skin lightening products and natural methods for treating acne scarring and skin discolorations. Sometimes the marks acne leave behind can be worse than the acne itself, and can take years to fade. I would like to know if you struggle with skin discolorations as a result of acne and if so, how you deal with it. I also think that it would be important to include guidance on how to keep acne at bay while treating scarring and discolorations.
I’d like to hear some real success stories from people that you have helped. Your own success is inspiring, but hearing testimonies from more people would be even better. Thanks, and Merry Christmas!
Hi Fran,
First of all, thanks for the great site.. it’s really been a life saver for me.
I would like to know more about healing a cystic acne cyst.. as in what to do when one flares up! I know they can’t be cured over night.. but suggestions to help with swelling or pain would be wonderful
Thank you! happy holidays
Hey Fran
Your blogs are great i have struggled with ance and moderate acne for awhile now and every bit of info helps I leave for for boot camp in a few weeks and surprisingly my biggest fear is breaking out thats sad right. Well Fran i would love for you to blog about simple easy and fast skin care so I dont die in boot camp in a few weeks. Thanks a ton Fran!
Hi Fran
adore your site and your advice is great! In the new year, I would love for you to write more about how hormones and stress affect acne and skin condition, which are such huge factors in the young adult population.
Happy Holidays!
Hi Fran,
I would love if you could write about the proper way to take care of oily skin. This would help me a lot!
Merry Christmas to you!!!!
First of all, thank you so much for all the work you have put into high on health. I suffered from acne for years before I stumbled across your videos and am now almost 100% acne free!! You are an inspiration
I would love to hear more on skin picking and how to control it, as I have found it to be the most important step towards clearing my skin.
Thanks again!
hi fran!
love love loooove all of your information, and I love that I really do trust any of your advice. I would really like to see you do more articles on what products and cleansing routines work well to prevent acne on other parts of the body BESIDES for the face.
Hello!
Just saw this and I really hadn’t had the chance to thank you until now. So thank you for sharing all this knowledge with us, it has actually helped me a lot.
Now, I’ve learned loads about treating acne and I’ve finally stopped picking and stuff like that. So what I would love most now would be new healthy receipes. And if they’re easy to make, all the better =) Something to eat every day, for breakfast, lunch or dinner. That would be really helpful, because I pretty much know what’s healthy to eat, but I don’t really know how to do that and make it tasty ^_^
And another thing that would be helpful would be a guide to get rid of blackheads, especially those at the base of the nose…
Thank you and keep up the amazing work!
We love you =)
I think your site and the information you provide is very helpful. The only other addition I would suggest is maybe to include readers experiences in a video format, like progressing their experiences with certain products. Otherwise, it’s great, keep up the good work!
i would like to read/hear more about oils that are beneficial for the skin internal and external and more healthy recipes, i always try and mostly like them and it would be great if you could do more intervies with specialist.
Merry christmas too everybody around the world!!
Fran, you are truly wonderful. Thanks for having the courage to speak the truth about so many things that are seen as being embarrassing or taboo. You are paving the way for many to heal themselves, while you heal yourself in the process.
I have a few topic ideas for next years videos:
1. Light Therapy – I’ve used a product called ‘Tanda’ with some success, this might be worth looking into for other users.
2. Mercury fillings and the toxic load it causes on the body. I myself often wonder if my fillings are causing a toxic overload.
3. Energy blockages (Solar Plexus Chakra) and acne.
4. How to wean yourself off of the Pill for acne control.
Thanks again for all of your love and positivity!
Hi Fran,
I’ve been a long time youtube subscriber for yours. Thanks for all your wonderful advise. I would like you to talk about pores. More specifically, how to get rid of blackhead and whitehead?
Thanks <3
Hi Fran!
I would love to see you cover other causes for acne, like PCOS and/or other treatments for acne like Ayurveda.
Hi Fran!
Thank you!
I love love your videos and blogposts. You’ve really helped me out especially with your youtube videos and it would truly help if you made a video or a blogpost about pms related acne breakouts.
Hey Fran,
In the next year you should talk about the best way to get rid of blackheads, and what things to put on our faces or eat for blackheads. I don’t know how good pore strips are b/c they don’t really work that good for me, and squeezing them isn’t that good for my skin, so that’s another thing I’d like to learn about. Everything you’ve done is so useful. Thanks a bunch, and have a super Merry Christmas! GBU.
I would love to hear more about eating natural and using essential oils to control acne, also hormonal acne.
Fran….First of all HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
Hmm its a tough one…What I would like to see would be…helping people with our acne condition with self-esteem issues, and write about that about in your blog…how to have an excellent self-esteem. Also delving more into RAW,ALKALINE,LOW GLYCEMIC INDEX diets…and talk about cheap ways to buy foods. And talk about more what to look in a moisturizer/cleanser based on you face type (oily, dry, combination). And last but not least like everyone has mentioned delving into how to deal with food when your in university. WELL THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN…ALL THE BEST…MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!
Hi Fran
Thanks for your helpful information that integrates complementary and mainstream approaches to helping reduce acne. I’d be interested in learning more about managing hormone-linked acne for the no-longer in teens or twenties women.
Wishing you a peaceful and happy 2010.
Kind regards, Julie
Hi Fran! This must be a great opportunity for you to see what people want to read about! As for me, what I would LOVE to see come into High on Health is people who have ‘graduated’ from your coaching program, have them briefly describe us what was their situation with acne and how they treated it. That would be really cool for people who didn’t need all the guiding you provided in the coaching program, but maybe haven’t gotten rid of their blemishes yet (like me;D)
Also, videos or articles about homemade skin care products, specified for each skin type or problem, would be a major plus!
Happy holidays!
Hey Fran! The only thing I’d like to see more of is overviews of various makeup and skin care product applications in reference to skin type. Other than that I think that you are doing an amazing job of keeping us informed about great products and regimens! Happy holidays!
Hi Fran
I really love your product reviews and updates on products so keep them coming! Also would love to see a ‘how to’ on natural at home pampering facial.
Cheers have a great time over holidays!
Love your blog, Fran.
I’d love to see some “case studies” or before and after photos. Maybe people who try Bee Yummy Skinfood for their acne.
It would be nice to see “before and after pictures” of people who have been on your wonderful program. And possibly more on foods that benefit the skin! Thanks a ton, Merry Christmas Fran!
Hi Fran,
I appreciate all your advice on skin care. I could use additional information of how to cope emotional with the aftermath of cystic acne. I suffer from scaring and it has effected my self esteem negatively. More coping tools and remedies for scaring would be very helpful. Thanks for everything!
I would love to see a video on how to integrate both the mental and physical aspects of skin care. Things such as stress relief for the face and relaxation for the face. Also your healthy cooking blogs were definitly a highlight of last years videos, so some more of those would be awesome as well! Good luck in the new year -Best wishes, Daniel
Hi Fran,
I love your website! I’m so glad I came across your videos on youtube last year. I’ve been a fan ever since. I have always been in to natural products and living a healthy life. I’m like this because my mom is a homeopath. I always have know natural skin care products are the right way to go but I’ve never been able to find the right fit for my skin. I Love Miessence! Thank you so much for writing about it! My skin is oily so do you have any other cleansers that you recemend? I would love it if you could give some recipes for breakfast. I can eat breakfast it is just a little hard for me to eat at 7:30 in the morning before school. Especially for my skin, I have allergies to wheat and dairy so it is tough for me to eat eggs everyday and get my protein in the morning. I break out with any grain too. Also, do you have any tips on how to get skin really clean. After being in school all day for 6 hours i need a good wash to get my skin clean. I tend to break out more during the school year because I weak mineral makeup. In the summer my skin is completely clear, I get lots of sunshine and eat well and balanced. Happy Holidays!!
Thank you for your blog!
-Amber : )
Hello Fran, merry Christmas! Thank you for doing this. I would like to hear more about getting rid of clogged pores and preventing them. I would also like to hear about natural ways to prevent blackheads and not drying out your skin in the skin routine.
Thank you!
Hi Fran,
Keep up the great work. I’d like to hear more about dealing with acne psychologically. It really has effected my self-image to a degree that I can’t identify with who I am. More on this topic would be great!
Thanks
I would like you to talk more about treating scars. specifically the results of resorting to laser and other types of scar removal; the long term effects of the skin, etc.
Also–The affects of certain things in the “air” (your environment not just “the environment” as a whole) on skin (i.e. grease/oils in the air during cooking, hair products, etc.).
Thank you.
fran –
i would like see you include the experiences of other people and then analyze them through the high on health lens to shed light on how the choices they’ve made have influenced their skin. what i love most about your blog is your personal experiences with different acne treatments, and how you’ve figured out what works best through trial and error, and i think your readers would learn a lot by hearing different people’s experiences and how different bodies tolerate different things. this might help all of us to become more aware of our own bodies and how we react to things (foods, soaps, stresses, etc.) i think about this a lot
carly
hi Fran,
I noticed many people have asked about Chinese medicine. I am also interested in what other cultures do to maitain healthy skin. You might have to do a lot of research but well worth it.
thanks
Fran – I would appreciate more tips on organic products (make-up, soap, deodorant, even toothpaste!). I fear that all of the chemicals we put in our bodies may be the cause of so many cancers and other diseases/syndromes we are faced with today. Also, health tips for moms-to-be would be great!
Sarah
Keep doing what you’re doing! It’s so great! I would love to see more about nutrition and acne fighting foods. I’m also interested in learning more about hormonal acne.
Thank you!
Talking more about food and how good or bad they are for acne, recipes to make natural skin care products such as masks, exfoliants, moisturizers with natural products like fruits, honey, etc etc. Reviews or reports about products of skin care in the marker (Real products that are for acne prone skin), Maybe u can make like a mini forum where people can rate Products that exist in the market (Just like Make Up alley) but in High on Health page and that way we can trust that the results and reviews of those products are real and controlled by u ;D U can also talk about herbs, fruits and plants that are not very common but have amazing properties (Tat way we can add them to our diet and help our skin) Maybe u can create a section in ur website where u can give recipes to make cream masks and treatments for our skin for specific skin types with 100% natural and organic ingredients. U can also create a section in the High on Health web site and show personal histories of people that have cured their acne tanks to ur website and ur programs with pictures and a personal history encouraging people to follow ur advices and take care of their mind, body and spirit (Tat way people will follow u more and identify with real cases) and finally u could talk a little less of spiritual and metaphysics stuff? it’s soo nice of u to mention it and make us understand that amazing and fascinating knowledge, but it can get repetitive and a bit exhausting to read? HOPE THIS HELPS
U ARE AWSOME have a very happy new year full of great things and beautiful skin =D XXXXX
I’d love to learn more ways of de-stressing to keep acne under control.
I’m doing everything right with my eating and products, etc., although I believe that my acne is caused by stress from life. How do I go about not giving a @#$% for things that don’t matter?
Thanks girl!
Hi Fran!
I think it would be great to add a section about how you can begin to incorporate all of these techniques into your life. I’ve recently come across your site and am SO excited to try out all of your ideas, however, it’s a lot to take in at once since it really is a lifestyle change. So, I’d really like to hear your ideas on how to begin with moderation, and also (since I’m a busy university student!) how to fit these changes into your routine. A method to slowly make these changes would do wonders, and help keep us motivated to continue.
Thanks so much Fran!
Chantelle
Q: What would you like me to write or video about in High on Health next year?
First of all, thank you sooo much Fran for all the help you’ve provided all your readers. Since I’ve been a faithful reader of your blog, I’ve gained a new outlook on life. Not only do I aim to cure my acne, but now I also try to live a healthier life. [: Answering your question, I’d like to learn more about stress management, especially for students like me. Just more info on how to live healthier in terms of meditation, outlooks on life, awesome, new healthy foods. Oooh, and lots of cute, useful tips! Again, thanks sooo much for everything, Fran!
Hi Fran,
I’d like to know whether getting facials is beneficial or can have negative effects. How can you tell if the aesthetician is good or not? Is it beneficial/detrimental to get them frequently?
Thanks!
HI Frank,
First of all I want to congratulate you once again for your site. It has helped me a lot and I have followed a lot of your advices.
My suggestion is about “interviews” to people that have solved their acne problem ….real people that would also like to share their experiences and how they manage to overcome acne. You know Frank, your videos are really motivating and your advices are fantastic BUT , at least in the video, your skin looks beautiful….I cant see pimples or scars! So for us, people suffering from some acne…visible acne, kind of feel bad sometimes to hear you talking about how bad you felt about acne….if I CANT see scars in your face. SO maybe asking some people about their problems, picking pimples, medicine, etc….for several races (black, white, etc) would be a nice topic!
Another topic would show a video…or images of how a pimple can heal itself without picking it…or show a pimple healing day by day…something like that so we can SEE how pimples heal….
Hey Fran,
How about devoting an in-depth series or two about managing acne for men.
We guys, we cannot hide under makeups, we have more androgenic hormones to deal with, we usually do not have the patience to try so many different products, we shave and hurt our skin a lot, and, i think, we are more emotionally battered when we have persitent acne, more than women. So a series about acne-care for guys would be much appreciated.
I know you cannot speak from experience in this case, but Iam sure you will do well researching the subject.
Cheers.
=)
I would like you to talk about the relationship between vitamins, minerals, and acne.
Hi Fran!
I’d love to know your take on cleansing and your skin, parasites, blood cleansers, organ cleanses… how they all affect your skin and if we should be doing them?
Thanks!
i.
Hi Fran! Your site is always so informative that it’s hard to think of something you haven’t already covered but I would love to hear more about the role of heredity on acne .
I´d love to read about DIY skin care products made out of all natural ingredients. If you make it yourself you know exactly whats in it
Hi Fran,
I gotta agree with Michael. A series on how to manage ance for men would be great. I’m sure you’ve got sources there that can help you and perhaps guest write and video blog on the subject.
Thanks!
happy wednesday
i’d be interested in reading about yeast infections/candida overgrowth, and quick fixes for them (natural or otherwise), vs long-term causes + treatments. of course you’ve talked about the connection between candida and acne before, i was just hoping you could talk a little more about the yeast infection aspect of it! thanks!
I would love to see some recipes for food that promotes vibrant skin.
Hi Fran, thank you for this website…I just recently started to follow it a couple months ago and while I am working on clearing up my acne I am already seeing some hyper-pigmentation of old acne areas…I would like to learn more and natural ways to help this “aftermath” so I don’t have to be constantly reminded of where I once had acne. Thanks
Hi Fran
Just wanted to say first of all thank you for the site it’s loaded with heaps of interesting info and I can tell you genuinely want to help acne sufferers.
I think next year I’d like to see more household remedies that actually work, and also specific fruit and veg that help with acne.
thanks again!
Thanks!
Hi Fran! I appreciate your website and the insights you provide. I would like to see you blog about your typical (or ideal) meal plan for a week and the hows and whys behind it all. Thanks!
Hello! I would love to hear the history of some foods or natural ailments and their effectiveness for the body in the past.
I absolutely love your website! I’ve tried searching for the perfect solution for my occasional acne and I think your website is unique because it discusses all the possible solutions from skincare products to diet. I particularly find diet control as the perfect cure for acne and I’d love to see you talk more about that in the future. Also using natural skin care products is something that I’m really interested in, like the video you recently did on baking soda as a natural deodrant.
I would love to hear more about natural home remedies.
Hi Fran, Love all your helpful info! I’d like to know more about skincare products and makeup, how to balance hormones and general info on food and recipes. Thanks!
It would be nice for you to write more on food! In this next year, I hope for you to explore into many new healthy foods and recipes and share them with us!
I Would like vids and more information about Acne Scars/Pitted marks and as wellas red marks or those marks that leave you once the pimple goes away. A remedy for these situations or a greap way to keeping them less visible.
Would Be great!
Hi Fran, love the site! I’d like to see some more information on natural products to help maintain healthy skin after acne has healed, and prevent it from coming back. And some acne-friendly recipes would be great too!
Hi Fran!
I would love for you to give information and make videos on how to treat or fade acne scars and red marks. That would be great!
Merry Christmas!
Hi Fran,
Love the site, been enjoying the articles and programe.
There are actually several issues I personally would like to know more about as well as others.
The benefits of Charcoal, and its amazing healing powers.
The toxicity in cooking utenciles, pots and pans, and how everyone should switch to ceramic cook wear.
Another is the issue with showering in city water, it is just as bad as drinking it and how bad is it cauzing acne?
Hi Fran!
I love love love your website! It has helped me so much, and I have been using your tip about Baking Soda to exfoliate and it works amazingly well!
I know that food is so important to our bodies well being and to helping us clear up acne, but lately I have been hearing about genetically modified foods and I personally don’t believe in eating GMOs, but I was wondering what information you have heard about them. It is so important to get information about genetically modified foods out there. Anything would be great!
Thank you so much for this website!
I would like to see more videos about how to naturally reduce scars on a budget . =)
I would love to see more info on what to do about blackheads and large pores. My pores just seem to be getting larger and larger. Thanks.
Hi Fran
I would love to see some tips for removing acne scars, and tips for treating oily skin. Thanks for everything!
Merry Christmas!
Hi everyone Love the site has been a life saver for me. Would love more lazy people healthy meal ideas. Or any make my own skincare recipes.
I would love to see more videos on natural masks. Possibly ones that we can make from ingredients that we can find in the kitchen. A moisturizing one for winter would be nice
Hi! Fran, I’d love you to evaluate more high end products next year. I believe one gets what one paid for. So I am always inclined to go for the more expensive skin care products as long as I can afford them. I usually do a lot of research at makeupally before I purchase anything. But as a acne sufferer, I want to hear more about your experiences and opinins.
Hi, I would like you to write about the Oil cleansing method. Also, Why is the castor oil called Palma christi oil and what can it do.
It has been made with great claims but its effects are both sides. So, what is it and wht are the do’s and don;ts associated with it.
Hey Fran,
Thanks for the site.
Do you know any recipes for hand-made cleansers and soaps? I’d like to know how to make my own natural personal care products.
Also I’d like to know your favourite remedy for itchy skin on the legs and arms.
Thanks again for your hard work.
Happy holidays!
Hi Fran, I really appreciate your homepage and the work your doing for us with acne problems. I think that many of your videos and writings are very useful and reasonable and I have myself used some of the products you have recommended with success. What I would like you to write about next year is also the traditional medicine and what the scientifical studies shows about for example food impact onm acne, stress impact, exercise impact, and so on. It would also be very interesting if you can interview professional people, like nutritionist, dermatologists, herbalists and so on. I thought that that interview in the “clear skin program” about the vitamins for acne patients was really interesting and useful. Thanks for your amazing dedication and keep up the good work!!
Hi Fran, thanks for this great site. I would like to know more about how to treat very sensitive skin and how to make your own masks and other natural treatments.
I just found your site, and I hope I will learn how to help all my teen children have healthy skin. They all have severe, cystic acne, and then have bad reactions to the meds from the dr, so I think we need to make drastic changes in our diet.
You probably address that, so I can’t ask for anything else now!
I would like to hear your thoughts and suggestions on getting rid of pock marks left over from popping zits, whatever research you’ve done and if there are any effective treatments. I’ve found your site very helpful thus far!
Hi Fran!
I would like you to speak more about how other skin conditions can correspond with acne.
Hey Fran,
I and some of my closest family members suffer from body eczema (mild to severe), and would like some information on how to treat this annoying skin condition naturally, without using hydrocortisones or topical steroids. Thanks
I think it would be good if you made a video on how to eat healthily on a budget, and at stores that were accesible by all because sometimes stores suggested are an hours drive away and it’s quite unconvenient.
I’d love to learn how to battle hormonal adult acne. Is there anything that can be done naturally to balance our hormones and get rid of acne? I also agree with the above poster about being healthy on a budget. Since I’m on a very limited budget right now, it has difficult for me to follow your program. I find the knowledge extremely helpful, but too expensive to follow.
Hey Fran.
I love reading about natural skincare the more natual the better!! Raw food and good skin food is also things I think You should keep blogging about.

Thanks
Hi Fran,
Just read your blog about the home made bath salts. Love love love!!
Please can you blog more about the scientific side of things. For example how certain foods help your body or how some products help heal the skin.
Also, can you blog more about hair-care, especially home made recipies.
Thank You
Well it’s December 18th at noon, hope I am still entered! Forget sometimes you’re in Australia.
I would like you to blog or video about redness and acne scars, rosacea, etc. I can usually treat my acne well thanks in part to your tips, but suffer from marks, blotchiness, redness etc, and it seems aloe, good diet, sleep, etc. don’t help. Cheers!
I would like to hear where the best places are to buy natural skin care products around the world (especially in the UK)
I think you should write about how to cut out negative things from your life… in particular for students. When we have little money/time/direction. Thanks!
hi, I love your site but i would like to see maybe how to give my face a nice glow. (to not look so pale) =] your articles are amazing.
Hi Fran,
I rely love your blog!
I think you should talk more abut hormonal adult acne problems and how to cure them.
Thanx
How sweet of you Fran to give away a xmas present to one of your lucky readers
I have been following your blog for a while, and I love the holistic direction it has taken..Would love for you to blog more about the body mind connection and how it all affects your skin. Would also love more product reviews and healthy food recipes. It would also be great if you could write about how to minimize oiliness in skin without having to use blotting paper constantly. (not really a problem in winter time though)
All in all I think you’re doing a terrific job, so please keep up the good work and thanks a million for sharing all your fabulous information with us all.
Wish you a merry christmas and a happy and healthy 2010!

Would love for you to explain the uses of the different colored clays- which color for different skin conditions.
Hello Fran!
I have learned a lot from your blog so far and would like you to continue to do what you have been doing.
I would like you to talk little bit more about the natural remedies that one can use to clear acne and acne related scars. Also, about some healthy eating habits that are not time consuming or are of low-budget.
Thanks!
Hi Fran,
At first I want to say a BIG THANK YOU for your very useful information. I have a problems with my skin for about 5 years and I could freely say that your videos and other kind of information really changed my attitude of acne.
During the next year, I would like to watch more about natural acne treatments, masks which you can do by yourself, reviews on ecological and natural products which could help to solve acne problem.
Thank you Fran
(Sorry for bad English)
Your blog is very insightful and helpful. You are helping a lot of people. Keep up the good work!
Well I think a video on stress relief and different relaxation methods would be cool. Like breathing, visualization, meditation and so forth. I think a lot of acne is caused from stress. Also talking more about Eastern medicine.
Hi Fran.
I think you should write about how we can cope with our acne as we’re waiting for it to hopefully clear up. Also, i get cystic acne, and it’ll leave a raised bump on my skin and i can’t pop it. How can i get rid of these bumps? Thank you.
I’m interested in natural ways of scar removal from acne as well as what types of acne correlate to the location they are on the face.
Hi Fran!
I love your blog… I would like for you to make a video on stress relief techniques. I’m a first year teacher…. and I definitely need them!!
I would love to learn more about DIY skincare especially for more limited budgets. Also–could you write more about how to deal with skin issues when DRY or VERY sensitive skin is combined with acne…like when even the mildest acids or essential oils are too strong. That would be GREAT! Thanks for your site.
I think that what you are writting about right now is helping millions upon millions of people who suffer with acne including myself.
Continuing to write about treatments and what you experience and what you think about it is what I believe that you should continue to keep writting about.
I love that you have dedicated your free time with helping others. I know that you have helped so many and I personally would love to thank you for helping me and my daughter.
So a huge THANK YOU from California!
Hi Fran!
I love your blog. Not sure if you have touched on this but was wondering if emotional freedom technique could have any affect on acne? I have used it before for other things but thought it might be worth looking into….
I was also wondering if you could recommend a good natural sunscreen that won’t make my skin go crazy!!!
thanks for everything!
I would like to hear about how to remove scars with natural products.
I would like to kno what to do for really dry skin, and how to help it without over exfoliating.
Well, I guess I’m too late for the contest, as I have just discovered this by randomly watching your video supporting Food Matters.
Anyhow, since we seem to be on the same page on several issues, a few suggestions for future topics could be:
Freeganism (reducing the amount of waste on this planet is a priority, isn’t it?)
Vegetarianism for ecological/environmental reasons (not just health or compassion)
Couchsurfing (while it has little to do with the above I find the Couchsurfing community a very fertile ground for alternative ideas)
That said, all the best with your blog, have a nice Christmas with your family and keep kicking ass in 2010 as well!!!

Hi Fran. Love your site. I’d probably like to read more about which natural approaches are best for which specific types of acne. Thanks!
