Answer 1

Hi BabyGerl

Here are some real answers on skin conditions. Remedies at the bottom. Cleansing the body of toxins is the key. Especially a colon cleanse! Educate yourself on detoxifying the blood.

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, rosacea, 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. Juice 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. Must do a colon cleanse to rid of all the toxins in the body, which eventually get into the blood and cause acne and all other diseases.

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

Answer 2

You can get blackhead removal strips which are made by companies like Ponds and Biore.
They are inexpensive and effective.
Blackheads are the result of natural skin oil building up and solidifying. Forget the oatmeal, and the yogurt. The best way to prevent them is to wash your face with a mild soap and face cloth at least twice a day (morning and bedtime). Afterwards use an astringent to close the pores. This works for 90% of the people I treat.

Answer 3

No it's a myth that changing your diet will clear up acne. Acne like blackheads are caused by overactive oil glands (stress, heredity, or hormones) that cause your pores to become clogged with dirt and oil. Find a good over the counter acne treatment with Salicylic acid. See a dermatologist if it's still a problem. Adhesive strips that you put on your nose and peel off supposedly peel away blackheads but I personally think they don't do a good job of getting deep into the pores. If anything I think the strips peel off the fine hair growing out of the blackhead. But you might want to give them a try.

Answer 4

Diet will definitely help keep your skin clearer. You also need to keep your skin from getting oily, keep your hands off your face as much as possible, wash your face 3-4 times a day too, there are tools sold in places like Sally Hansen that are blackhead removers, not sure how they work but I did see them in there when I was there last. There are tons of products out there that claim to help pimples and blackheads but actually washing your face with a good natural type soap is the best way, Ivory is a good one, it's 99 percent natural.

Answer 5

Either use Biore or Ponds nose strips. You have to wet them, then put them on your face until they dry hard. When you pull them off, you will see blackheads on the strips. Looks like a porcupine. Yes, a cleaner diet will help but some people when they are young are just pre-disposed to skin problems, especially oily skin. The good news is that it will get better as you get older. Just make sure you clean your face with a good cleanser each morning and night and don't forget to follow with a good astringent. I prefer the good old-fashioned witch hazel. Whatever you do, don't put lots of things on your face that clog pores, like creams. Try not to wear foundation but if you do, make sure you clean your face very well afterwards. Good Luck

Answer 6

Yes,that probably has alot to do with why you have so many blackheads.But I don't understand why they are only on your nose?My sister use to get blackheads all over her face,and it had alot to do with her diet and because she didn't take the time to really clean her face.But with the right treatment,her face is as smooth as a baby's bottom.Here's what she did....1.)Wash your face with a mild soap like Dove or Oil Of Olay,2.)Use a good Exfoliation scrub,3.)Next get a good Skin Toner and lastly,use a oil free Face cream.But whatever you do,DO NOT use Alcohol!!!It only burns and dries your face out more.And make sure the water you use isn't too hot or too cold,but timid.Plus Noxzema is a good face wash also.But I'd stick with the 4 step treatment! God Bless and Good Luck!!!

Answer 7

Your pores are clogging up. Stop over washing your face, your only gonna create more oil and then more breakouts.And stop putting all these things on your skin, your skin will go into shock, which then again, leads to break outs. Find a good acne system, and use as directed. And find out what type of skin you have, not everyone can use the same thing as you. Every ones skin is different, and some people skin are more sensitive than others. Well..good luck friend. Oh and one thing, if your in your teen, know its your hormones going wacko, doesn't it suck?

Answer 8

after rinsing your face with very warm water a few times, put some vinegar on a cotton ball and cleanse your face, nose included with the vinegar. Let dry and rinse with warm water a bout 5 minutes later. The acid from the vinegar will clean the pores as well as dry up the blackheads. use a decnet oil free moisturizer afterward.

This may sound silly to some of you, but trust me, vinegar works wonders on acne.

Diet thing is a myth, any doctor will tell you that.

Answer 9

Steam your face once a week for 3 to 4 minutes to open up the pores. Use a home made face scrub using the white of an egg and a little salt.More cheap and natural remedies for black and white heads at the link below.

Answer 10

Two things will drastically help:
1) Biore pore strips (dont get off brand, get the Biore ones, when you peel them off you can see your blackheads coming up)
2) Tea tree oil - you can get this at health food stores like Whole Foods, its a natural skin purifier...dab some on your nose at night after you wash your face.
