Acne Home Remedies?

Question

I want a natural cure, not those expensive acne treatments.

Answer 1

There are a variety of causes for acne, thence several remedies. See if any of these apply to you:

It may be hormonal. If you are an adolescent boy or girl then wildly fluctuating hormones could be the culprit. If you are a woman whose monthly cycle is very painful or flow is heavy or sporatic or even absent, it may be hormone imbalance. If the skin clears up during pregnancy, then it is definitely hormonal. If any of these apply, try Vitex (chaste tree) berry. I like the liquid extract but if you don't like taking the drops, take a powdered extract in capsule form. You should see results within 30 days.

Bad diet can affect skin health. So can other toxins in the system. This gets worse if you don't like to drink your 8 cups of water daily. If you are constipated or bowel movements are irregular, toxins build up and one way the body has of getting rid of them is through the skin. If this sounds like you, try eating more raw veggies & fruits every day, drinking fresh carrot juice and plenty of water. You should see some improvement in a week or two, although it may take months of good diet to get rid of the problem.

To speed the cleansing of impurities, I suggest drinking red clover tea - at least one cup per day. Buy organic if you can find it. Alvita brand teabags are available at most natural food stores.

Studies in Gr. Britain have shown low zinc levels in acne sufferers. I believe the RDA is about 15 mg. Coffee and alcohol inhibit absorption of zinc.

Topically, use only natural products as artificial dyes and perfumes and mineral oil can make things worse. Castile soap with eucalyptus is gentle and antibacterial. Apple cider vinegar, diluted to 50% with water, makes a great PH-balancing toner. Use a moisturizer even if you have oily skin because overly dry skin is also prone to breakouts.

There is a product at natural food stores called Miracell that is very effective at clearing skin and even eliminating the scars.

Natural food stores also sell products specific for hair, skin and nails. If skin on other parts of your body besides face, neck and upper shoulders are affected, these products might be beneficial. Also supplement with beta carotene (vitamin A).

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.

The secret is never to touch the spots

Answer 4

There is a home remedy, but you will have to invest in a juicer, but it is very much worth it.. carrot juice is the key.. I use to suffer from very bad acne, until my mom enlightened me to carrot juice, and a balanced diet.. moderation is the key.. alot of chocolate and ice-cream is what seems to have made me have more occurring breakouts, but with the balanced diet, and the vitamin a in the carrot juice, I now have great skin, and I still eat chocolate and ice-cream from time to time, but not that often.. You can also take natural vitamin e 800 mil a day..

Answer 5

Toothpaste actually is what works for me. I guess it depends on what kind you use... but your acne could be getting worse becuase of the type of makeup you wear. I changed to MAC and started breaking out, so I switched to bare minerals and my skin cleared. Also try washing your face as soon as you get home to get rid of any makeup or dirt from the day. And NEVER go to bed without washing your face.
