<p>I also recommend that my client eat grapefruit. it's a known blood cleanser and it works great at clearing the skin from the inside. I love the LED blue! I don't know why I didn't think about that! </p>

<p>I would probably focus on doing weekly blue LED treatments until skin is ready for exfoliation.</p>
<p>I'd recommend that he cut out dairy, sugar, and wheat and start taking zinc citrate or picolinate (always with food) about 10-50mg daily. Have them check with the doctor before taking ANY supplements. Also have him increase water intake and take an Omega-3 (again, check with doctor).</p>

I would suggest speaking with the reps at your skin care company to help direct you with the product line you currently use. Get their opinion on accutane and when they feel it is safe to start him on topicals. I have worked with lots of acne clients with great success without oral meds. If working with acne is something you are interested in I would suggest furthering your education because working with delicate skin after accutane can be very difficult. I hope that helps!</p>
