I was just thinking, and thought of this question. Years and years ago: how did people treat acne? , when there were no antibiotics, medicines, creams, topicals, etc. etc....anyone know of a site that has looked into this. Im just curious

They drink Coffee Banana Smoothie! This is the recipe.
Make coffee ice cubes(7 cubes = 1 cup)
Add the following into the blender:
7 coffee ice cubes
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup half and half
1 tbls Splenda
1/4 cup chocolate syrup (I use dark chocolate)
1 banana
Blend until ice is smooth.
Drinking smoothies can help cure any constipation and acne problem. Read this article about Natural Smoothie Formula to Stop Constipation and Acne

I know one thing that is really bad sounding but that was used before acutane, which is the only thing that worked for me. I had it sooooooooo bad that I would have tried anything...brace yourself, this is going to sound terrrible, but apparently w/ some people, you collect your first of the mornings urnine, and you apply it to your face...I know that sounds horrible and for me it didn't work...but some oled-timers sware by it.
I guess the theory is that it replaces something that your skin isn't getting from your body to prevvent the infectious outbursts of acne....it is sterile too, almost like a personal astringent. It sounds strange I know...not as strange as "a good bleeding"...but strange non-the-less....
I don' t know of a site for this kind of info...but how strange is that?...

I am 59 from Montevideo, Uruguay, South America, so I suppose I'm a little older than you, even in my youth, there were antibiotics, etc, you must find a 200 old fellow to answer your question properly.
Merry Christmas.

Every generation had there own remedies such as witch hazel, tooth paste etc. But if you go back early enough I would imagine that there wasnt as much acne...people ate better and drink alot more water, were way more active and sweated there pores clean.
