Hi There

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

Before you spend all that money go to Wal Mart and buy some witch hazel about 3-4 bucks and clean your face morning and night with it after your shower or washing it. Then start drinking water. It's very important. If you get a pimple. clean it with a little peroxide ona cotton ball and wash your hands. The bacteria from one pimple can cause you many more. so wash your hands after touching your face if you have break outs. Use coton balls with the witch hazel if you have breakouts and then throw the cotton balls away. this chould clear it up. It is a natural astringent and PH balanced also. Good luck.

To begin with, it is not unhealthy for you to have healthy skin. You probably are experiencing too much oil. It does work; however, there is a much more simplier and healthier way to have your skin be easier for you, and certainly both safer, and as well much less expensive than what you pay if you you were to use Proactiv.
What I am suggesting to you is to use GOATS MILK SOAP. This soap is mild to your skin, and yet it will do wonders to have your proper PH balance to your skin. True enough, it is more expensive than the brand names. However, this soap is a top quality soap, and I guarantee to you that this will work.

put some olive oil on the area. Let it sit for around 15 to 20 mintues. Then wipe it with orange skin. Wash it off with acne soap. lastly put some milk on the area.
Works very well on me. Clears up within a week.

My friend tried Proactiv and it worked great for her. My dermatologist gives me Retinae and also Benzoyl Peroxide, they both work great to get rid of acne and they can lighten blemishes. They will dry out your skin very quickly so you should also moisturize

i've always used st ives apricot scrub (the medicated one). when it was really bad in high school, i used something called phisoderm (spelling may be off). really good to kill off bacteria. i've heard proactiv is good, but expensive. you can get st ives or phisoderm at walmart cheap. worse comes to worse, you can always got to a dermatologist if you are having problems keeping it under control.
