Hi Isabella

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.

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

Answer 2

Stop using aloe, and stop getting facials. Aloe is not meant for acne and facials have so much oil, it is probably making it worse.
Proactive is an over the counter medicine, I agree that it is a waste of money, you can go to the store and buy a tube of Clearasil (the same active ingred. thats in proactive) and be better off. Wash your face only twice daily with a mild cleanser, Purpose soap is a good choice, don't use a washcloth, you can't scrub acne away and you will just make the zits look more red. You will need an acne medication, try the clearasil 5% at first and use it daily for at least a month, if it's not working try the 10%. If all that fails, you will need to see a derm for medications. If you need a moisturizer because the clearasil is drying you out, try Neutrogena Moisture or Purpose Moisturizer, they are both made for acne prone skin and will not cause you to break out more.
Good Luck

Answer 3

Tea tree oil on whtever whiteheads you have really works good. It's gonna sting if it's open, but be aware that the stinging is only helping it.
Also- eliminating sugar and sodium from the diet helps a lot, but I know this is hard and you can't do. So forget that.
Lots and lots of water all day helps as well... it flushes out the system and the toxins in the body that pour out of the skin and cause zits.
try some pills that are for acne... these really help.
And also, exercise, that which makes you sweaty, helps believe it or not.

Answer 4

Ok, work your way up to 8 glasses of water a day. It truly does help your face keep clean. But if you don't drink that much normally, work your way up

If you wash your face too much, your face will produce more oil in response to being dry.

Do you excersize? Wash your face after you excersize, I've read that your pores are all open and dirty afterwards, I've tried it a few times, it seems to work.

Answer 5

Try drinking about 5 cups of water a day, wash your face with Clean & Clear or/and oldfashion soap when it does not feel soft anymore. Try fruits instead of greasy packaged foods.

Answer 6

I am 60+ and i am in most cases on Yahoo/answers about two hours a day (I particularly should get a existence). I answer questions within the "people With Disabilities," "Politics and executive" and "executive" sections best and that i think nearly all of those in these sections are adults except for the children who want any one to do their homework for them.

Answer 7

Drink lots of water. stay away from greasy foods. and sweets. try dabbing Vitamin E cream JUST on your zits. don't touch your face allot. keep your hair clean (I'm not saying that you don't) because I found that if your hair gets greasy the grease will spread to your face. one other thing you might want to try is rubbing "rubbing alcohol" JUST on your zits it drys them out.

Answer 8

I have had great success using neutrogena acne soap, followed by their pore refining toner and then neutrogena rapid clear acne defense daily face lotion. And most improtantly I am learning not to touch my face.

Answer 9

Answer 10
