Hi Racheal
Here are some real answers on skin conditions. Remedies at the bottom.
Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman N.D. - "What is your skin trying to tell you? Often the skin is a metaphor for deeper issues and a way for your body to send up a red flag to warn you that all is not well underneath. When our skin is unhealthy it is usually a reflection of the internal state of our bodies, and is often a sign of poor elimination of toxins and waste products. Most of us are embarrassed by skin problems such as rashes, boils or acne, especially in places where others can see our imperfections. The skin is the body's first line of defense against the environment. It has to deal with the effects of weather, sun , cold, heat, dryness, humidity, scrapes, bumps, soaps, detergents, chemicals, perspiration and dirt of all kinds. It is a wonder that our skin stays healthy most of the time! We can help our skin deal with this onslaught by optimizing our general health and by protecting our skin from harsh environmental exposure. Western medicine generally treats skin eruptions with either antibiotics, cortisone, or antifungal preparations. These medicines may alleviate the skin problem temporarily, or occasionally for good, but do not address the source of the problem. Putting a lid on skin symptoms without getting to the root of the imbalance may even result in suppression, that means the imbalance may be driven deeper causing more serious health problems later without ever strengthening the underlying vital force of the person. Fortunately, naturopathic medicine offers a wide vareity of effective treatments for skin problems."
Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman N.D. - "Your skin is a reflection of how well your body is eliminating the toxins that build up on a daily basis. Chronic skin conditions such as acne, eczema and psoriasis stem from a combination of genetic factors, immune stress, dietary deficiencies or sensitivities, and the accumulation of toxins in the body. For our skin to be radiant and clear, it is very important that the other organs of elimination (kidneys, liver, lungs, and colon) are cleansing the body effectively. If not, the skin will be overtaxed, pores will become clogged, and eruptions of one sort or another will result. Here are a number of steps you can take to improve your body's overall elimination wtih specific emphasis on your skin."
Detoxification is a normal body process of eliminating or neutralizing toxins through the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs, lymph and skin. Fasting is the world's most ancient and natural healing mechanism. Fasting triggers a truly wondrous cleansing process that reaches right down to each and every cell and tissue in the body.

Natural Cures
1. Fruits and Vegetables for Acne: Carrot & spinach, celery & watercress, grapefruit juices are all useful to combat acne.
2. Unwholesome Foods: Acne, a prevalent problem among teen-aged boys would not be possible in our society if our foods were wholesome. A most sad and disgusting sight is the pus-filled pimples due to inner toxicity --- wastes trying desperately to escape through the face. This condition often turns a gentle face in the blossom of youth into a waste dump of pimples, pus and subsequent pock marks which can be prevented. The tons of acne medications and prescriptions sold annually act only on the effect of the harmful food, and not the cause of the disease, malnutrition. The traditional teenage meal, a grease burger, french fries and a milk shake or cola simply does not provide enough nourishment for anyone, let alone a boy going through puberty to adulthood. Our highly processed foods are devoid of hormones found in fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds. Blessed thistle tea given to the unfortunate souls three times a day along with a change in diet to the wholesome, mucusless foods will supply necessary hormones for growth and maturity. The aforementioned hormone and estrogen formula [Changease] will also be beneficial. The big task here will be to reeducate the tastebuds of these boys so they can appreciate real food.
3. Cabbage: Apply a lotion of freshly prepared cabbage juice preceded, if desired, by the application of leaves. The eating of cabbage leaves or juice is also helpful.
4. Lemon Juice: Skin problems such as acne... will often respond to a treatment of lemon juice. For blackheads rub lemon juice over them each night.
5. Black Walnut: Externally, Black Walnut is nearly a miracle worker in cases of ...acne, dandruff, boils, itch, shingles, ringworm--we could go on, but you can see that you can use Black Walnut whenever a skin disorder appears! The tincture is an excellent first-aid remedy for wounds.
Best of health to you
Cheers

I have been fighting acne for almost 20 years and the best stuff I can find is from Clean & Clear by Johnson & Johnson (Walmart, Walgreens, etc.) My teenage daughter and I both use the orange colored Deep Astringent and the Persagel in the blue box twice a day, every day and we only have 1 or 2 pimples at a time. Plus, they have a whole line of other products you can try. My daughter also uses it on her back and shoulders, so it should work for your chest. Also, St. Ives has a great medicated peel-off mask that seems to help. Once a pimple has popped, Mudd brand masque will dry that sucker up almost overnight, in 2 days you can usually just peel the scab (sorry for being gross) off and have nice new skin underneath. Oh and don't forget a good facial scrub every other day. But don't scrub real hard as it could aggravate the acne. We use St. Ives Medicated Scrub - makes your skin smooth and fresh looking and removes any dried skin cells due to the healing process of the acne. Number one - don't stress over the wedding - stress only makes breakouts worse. Use a good cover stick and set it with powder if you have any pimples on the day of the wedding and you'll be gorgeous. Good luck!

ok, this is what you do. I have used this combo and it works miracles. You get some aloe vera and tea tree oil, mix apply liberally. Try it twice in the first day on an inconcpicous spot just to make sure your body likes the stuff, then, when all proves well apply to all acne, dont put it where there isnt any. You should only need to use it once a day after that, but give it a couple days before you go over board with the stuff. It s a natural things that you can only get premixed in alberta, but you can make it your self. It also works for coldsore, makes them go away sooo fast and smaller and less painfull. Another thing i use occasionally is tiger balm, this stuff is a mircale too. I dont recomend using it on your pimples if you have tried to pop them though, cause itll make it worse. but you can pick up those first 2 things at almost any store, keep in a dry dark place away from heat when you put it away.

Right now my skin is perfectly clear, for the first time in 3 years. It's been about 9 weeks and all my acne is gone. It is such a great feeling to wake up with clear skin.

If chemicals cannot get rid of acne,you try the traditional one.This was effective around 30 years ago,at the time of every rice cooking when bubbles start to produce,you open the cover you put your face slightly far at it until you sweat then cover it back.You will apply like this for weeks and you will know the result.Scientifically,the Amidon in the rice with heat will help to relieve it.

Music allows you to eat more. According to a report by the journal Psychology along with Marketing, soft, classical tunes encourage you to take time over your meal, so you consume more foodstuff. So, switch off – silence could make you more aware of what you’re putting in your mouth.

Acquire smaller plates. Little crockery means portion control is quite a bit easier – those diminutive servings suddenly look huge and you’ll be happier to enjoy less.

It’s Friday brunch time and you simply can’t stop going back with regard to seconds. But hang on! Stop for a minute and suck on extra strong mint. The flavour can put you off that 3rd plate of chicken korma/roast beef/sushi medley.
