How to clear up acne using alternative therapy (& please be specific)?

Question

I've tried the otc meds, presciption creams, antibiotics, laser and none have worked in permanently clearing up this chronic condition. I've suffered from this for 13+ years and I am so weary. What else should I try? Please help me if you can. Thank you.

please no suggestions involving over-the-counter products (like proactiv or aveeno) or prescriptions (like Accutane) - I though I outlined that in my original question? This is posted in the Alternative section as I am looking for alternative solutions. Many thanks to those who respond with that consideration in mind.

Water obviously is the best bet. Loads of it. but you can try this alternate home remedy:
Steam your face... open the pores, use a mild apricot scrub.. or suji/rawa (roughly ground wheat) (4 spoons)mixed with turmeric (1 tea sp) and milk. If yu don't know what suji is.... use ground rice.
Keep it on for about 10 mins and rinse off with cool water.
Rub on a mixture of lemon juice (10 drops) in cold milk (30 drops)... keep on for 10 mins and wash off. Rub a bit of ice to close the pores.
Do this 3ice a week.
Support the outer skin with an inside intestinal cleansing for long term good looks.

Try the Oil Cleansing Method. I know it sounds a bit insane to rub oil all over your face- but please try it...I've seen big success with it. You need castor oil and olive oil and a washcloth.
Use about a nickel-sized amount of castor oil and olive oil- mix them together in your hand then rub on a DRY face for at least one minute.
Now, wet your washcloth in hot water, ring it out, and then place it over your face for at least ten seconds or until the cloth gets cool. Before rinsing the cloth out, wipe off the oil from your face.
Now rinse the cloth again with hot water and repeat steaming process. Wipe the oil off again with the same cloth before rinsng it.
Next, splash your face with cold water to finish.
Do this twice a day.
Definitely give this a shot- even if you have oily skin- I promise it won't make you more oily- its amazing.
Good luck!

Answer 5

Dot your blemishes with Tea Tree Essential Oil on a Qtip...can buy at your local Walmart - very inexpensive

Answer 6

Try Benzoil Peroxoid. Its prescription only and costs about $22. But its supposed 2 do the trick. After that, just keep your face clean, and dont toucj your face often, because your face carries bacteria that can get on your face. And if you have bangs wash your hair often (like every day or every other day) because your bangs can become oily and touch your forehead and well, that would just make the problem worse.

I will try to keep it simple. Your metabolism is basically the rate at which your body burns calories to create energy. So the faster your metabolism, the faster you burn calories and the easier it is to lose unwanted weight. To boost your metabolism naturally you just need to eat the right foods.

You can sit down and literally eat a 1,000-calorie dinner and yet be absolutely starving just a few hours later and the reason is simple: Because your body didn’t get what it needed in those 1,000 calories so it sends signals to your brain telling you to ingest more calories and thus, the late-night cravings. That means that the surest way to end those late-night cravings and keep your weight loss goals on track is to eat a more balanced, nutritious diet that actually gives your body what it needs.

It's VERY EASY to lose weight if you eat the right foods. Check out Dr. Charles Livingston's video here: http://www.drcharleslivingston.tv - it will blow your mind.

Have you ever tried Sun chlorella? It is a whole food vitamin that contains all 26 vitamins and trace minerals. It also has chloraphyl in it which cleanses your body and skin. It works on a cellular level. Makes your skin radiant and hair and nails look great to. It has more protien than soy and glycoprotiens to help your body get healthy. Acne is caused by toxins in your body. Sun chlorella is a natural algae that detoxifies and revitalizes your body. It works on the skin with nucliec acids, which is suppose to be one of the secrets to anti-aging. I take them regularly and they are awesome. You will be amazed.
