Chemie's and toxicity on the skin

[Sivâ:]

Hi guys just wondering if you can help me, did a quick search of this forum but couldnt find a good answer.
My girlfriend has been munching pills for about 4 years now, on average maybe once every 2 weeks (sometimes more). Only recently though (in the last few months) she has noticed she gets very bad skin the morning and couple of days after, never before though. Could somebody tell me about the toxicity of e's and speed on the skin and their differences because we are trying to get to the bottom of this problem and it aint easy by purpose of elimination!

It seems strange though that it would only arise now though. Her diet hasn't changed and she is not on any other form of medication... is there a difference between speedy pills and strong MDMA pills and their effects on the skin?? I know somebody once told me you get pimples from proper e's but I thought somebody here might be able to shed some more light on the subject.
Thanks in advance peeps!

so, it's a known fact that ecstasy does put a strain on your liver, liver being the organ that cleanses your blood (to put it really briefly), when the liver starts to fail cleansing your system, or it gets overloaded with free radicals and such, then you get breakouts (or sallow looking skin).
The best thing to do is take an antioxidant every day, and if that doesn't help, maybe see a naturopath and last resort, go see a doctor to get liver tests done (they'll tell you if everythings functioning normally)
That would be my first guess.. second is, maybe as she's getting older her skin is becoming more sensitive to smoky darkened rooms? *shrug*

That's totally right mona...i know from personal experience...

I used to get breakouts everytime i had mdma or base (for some reason not with meth tho...anyone know why?)
I was on heaps of hormonal medication when i was a teenager, and that caned the hell out of my liver. So when i started taking drugs, the morning after, i would break out not so much on my face, but on my back...weird. I have beeen seeing a naturopath for a year now, and i take a personalised tonic 3 times a day, and a multi-vitamin called "tressos-b". You can't get it at a supermarket, only at a health food shop or a naturopath. They are THE BEST multivitamin you can get, for antioxidant properties.
If i have a pill now, i at least take 2 of these b4, and 2 the next day, with 2 st johns wort. (or 1 prozac)
hoped this helped
Does your girlfried drink alcohol? That would be another reason that her liver is under stress

Also of note, is the environment that such activities take place. Dancing generally causes sweat and the pores of your skin to open. We are not exactly out in the fresh air going for a run, so all the smoke and other impurities in the air of the club get trapped in the skin while the pores are open. To combat this, maybe try one or two of the medicated type wipes that are available for acne. EG wipe the skin clean before she cools down and the pores close.

Read up a lot of erowid, ecstacy.org etc etc ( I couldn't be bothered finding the particualer references, do yourselves a favour and find out yourself) but I specifically remember an entry regarding MDMA use and achne. I think it's your body not being able to break down something or something or other and it doesn't affect everyone.
Hope this helps. (Research, the Truth is Out There)
