I was once diagnosed with rosacea (but I later got a better explanation for
the brown, sort-of-freckle-like-spots on my cheeks from a different
dermatologist and I came to believe that the first doctor was a bit of a
quack, because EVERYONE who went to him for anything got diagnosed with
rosacea.  So I don't necessarily think I actually have it or ever had it.)
But I had and still have some dark pigmented spots on my cheeks that get more
prominent when I get sun -- I haven't noticed any improvement in them since
I've been eating Paleo, but it's only been a month-and-a-half, so we'll have
to wait and see.  But in that month-and-a-half, I've gone from 178 to 157.5
pounds, and my previously creaky, popping, painful joints are now quiet,
pain-free, and almost astonishingly limber. <g>  So, since it seems like
everything else that had been plaguing me before I started eating Paleo is
fixing itself now that I'm eating Paleo, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if
my not-quite-freckles/rosacea/whatever they are fix themselves in time, too.
I have noticed that my skin is clearer (no break-outs), softer, has a healthy
glow, and is less prone to sunburn, since I started eating "the foods my body
was designed to eat."

Christmas (at least to all of the people I really like <g>)
