what do you do to get rid of acne?

Question

and what about the scars??

Answer 1

unfortunately, there is no cure for acne. but you can definitely do things that will reduce it.
and i'm sure you've heard all this before: diet and exercise play a HUGE role. especially diet.
in no particular order..

* acne fighting foods- avocados, greens, tomatoes, blueberries, pomegranate, walnuts, almonds, fish, olives, olive oil, garlic, etc...

* eliminate sugars like soda, sweetened drinks, candy, etc... drink water or unsweetened teas w/ antioxidants (green tea especially)

* proactive solution (it really works!)-- don't use it every day. in fact, don't use anything too much. its overkill and will irritate your skin.

* some sort of sea salt scrub or deep cleansing clay mask.

* masturbation. seriously! releases tension and lowers stress and definitely calms the mind, and your face.

burt's bees makes a great blemish roll-on (for spot treatment). its all natural too.

as you can see, there is no quick fix. it's definitely work. but worth it!!

good luck!

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.

In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.

Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.

In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

If you would like to learn how to treat your acne permanently and regain your health and wellbeing, without drugs, without typical acne treatments, and without any side effects, then this will be the most important letter you will ever read.

If you’re looking for accurate acne information, best to see a dermatologist. Some people believe doctors are predisposed to take the easy way to deal with acne… prescription drugs. But, with many, this simplistic answer may not be the appropriate course of action. Some feel that such prescription drugs just treat the symposium and not the underlying cause. But, a local dermatologist is still your best starting point.
For me personally, I discovered a great informational acne treatment site. Not only is there good information/articles but I got their audio e-book and following it’s advice can now say that my acne is a thing of the past! Keep in mind, were all different and there are various types of acne, so what works for some may not be totally effective for all.

Bottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.
Oh, by the way the site that helped me is:

If you have already tried all of the OTC creams and ointments and they don't work, try just using a little "Cortaid" or any cream with a little cortisone in it. Apply to a clean face in the morning or at bedtime. It won't make them disappear completely, but will reduce the size and redness. Also stay away from caffeine. For the scars, try Mederma.

Answer 5

For acne use Homeopathic medicine BERBERIUS EQUIFOLIUM tincture,10 drops in a cup of water thrice daily and for the the removal of scar marks VARIOLINUM 200c,5 drops once every week alongwith silicica 6x,5 tablets thrice daily.

Answer 6

Contact a dermatologist if over-the-counter cleaners aren't doing anything. Unfortunatley, scars won't go away just like that. Makeup can be used to hide them, but they will most likely just fade with time.
