Are facials effective in treating acne?

Question

I am having some trouble with mild acne (mostly redness and old acne scars) and I am desperate to get rid of it. Someone recommended a beauty spa where they offer "Deep Pore Cleansing Facial" and "Herbal Acne Treatment" for $50 per treatment. Are these effective and worth the money and has anyone had any luck with this type of "treatment" for acne?

Answer 1

I've paid way to much on NOTHING, Proactiv and all those other treatments are good, they work, but guess what NOT FOREVER, you still break out, and sometimes you stop using the product, everything comes back

I use home-remedies for the past 2-3 weeks, and my god, only cost me $10 total for whatever, by going to the grocery store

Example-Milk-w/ cinnamon or nutmeg for 20-30 min a day or twice a day

Honey has anti-bacterial properties :)

Gram Flour, Turmeric, a couple drops of Cocunut Oil(South Indian method) it does the trick, clears you up in a couple days and if you keep it up you got a real nice complextion

I'll give you more things if you want, just e-mail

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.

The secret is never to touch the spots

Anyone looking for a quick fix solution to acne, for a “magic bullet”, acne pills, ‘acne freedom in 3 days’ hyped up programs is looking to be told fairy-tales. Also, don't ever take the Proactive route, it's just a temporary solution and in time it will make your acne worse.

To permanently get rid of acne you should fix the internal problem that’s causing your acne, not just masking the symptoms. Read Mike Walden's "Acne No More - Open The Door To An Acne Free Life." ( here is the electronic format PDF http://www.mikewalden.net ). This is a permanent solution to acne and it helped over 130.000 people get rid of their acne for good.

Stop paying paying each month good money on drugs, creams and oils. This is exactly what the pharmaceutical industry wants you to do! They want to milk money from you each month.

to open the pores and loosen dirt and grease from your face turn off the heat from a pan of distilled water, add 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar to a quart of the hot water. drape a towel over the pan and your head to steam clean your pores. take a cotton ball, dip in vinegar and pat over skin to remove loosened dirt. repeat 2 more times. then spray or dab on chilled vinegar and equal part of distilled water to close your pores and tone your skin. do twice weekly, also can use the chilled vinegar water as a toner 2 times daily.
