HI DAi

Here are some ideas to heal the issue.


Quick Action Plan for Acne

1. Massage your skin, where needed, with bergamot, camphor, geranium, juniper, lavender, or neroli essential oils.

2. Ayurvedic practitioners recommend making a paste of ½ tsp each of turmeric and sandalwood paste with enough water, and applying to pimples. Also, drink half a cup of aloe vera juice twice daily until acne clears.

3. Eat an organic whole foods diet, with plenty of organic cooked and raw vegetables, and whole fruits. Reduce animal fats and stressor foods such as caffeine, refined sugars, and alcohol, as well as colas, candies, and frozen and processed foods. Include more high fiber foods.

4. Drink eight glasses of pure, filtered water daily. Also, daily have two glasses of raw juice, combining carrot, beet, and celery juice, or, carrot, cucumber, and lettuce (not iceberg), and spinach, with carrot predominating.

5. Add 3-5 drops of crab apple flower essence to pure water and drink during the day. Rescue Remedy® is good for stress.

6. Combine the tinctures of herbs such as sarsaparilla, burdock, and cleavers in equal parts, taking ½ tsp three times a day. Drink an infusion of nettle several times a day and apply tea tree oil topically. An infusion of calendula mixed with equal parts of distilled witch hazel can be used as a cleansing wash. Steam sauna your face with red clover, lavender, and strawberry leaves.

7. Useful homeopathy remedies are Pulsatilla, Silicea, Berberis, Ledum, Sulfur, Arsen alb., Belladonna, and/or Carbo veg.

8. Enjoy full body immersion hydrotherapy treatments such as steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation, hot and/or cold compresses, and steam sauna your face with red clover, lavender, and strawberry leaves.

9. Useful supplements are vitamin A, beta carotene, vitamin B complex, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin E, and zinc. Also include omega-3 fatty acids, brewer's yeast, chlorophyll, and pancreatic enzymes with meals.

10. Expose your face to sun and air at least 30 minutes a day, and exercise daily. Keep your skin clean by washing your face three times a day with soap made from the herb calendula officinalis, or using other alternatives to soap. Rinse with warm water and pat dry. Squeezing pimples or whiteheads may cause infection. Keep the skin free of oil and use water-based products. Get sufficient sleep.

11. Make facial masks from natural products; leave on overnight to help dry the skin if acne is caused by excess oil.

12. For long term relief and health be sure to do a colon cleanse. This clears out the toxins in the blood and excess waste in the body. Colon cleansing will healp clear up a lot of issue, expecially acne.

Cause
Acne may be worsened at adolescence, during the pre-menstrual and/or mid-menstrual cycle due to hormonal action, and when under stress, on contraceptives, eating a poor diet that causes an over acidic system, or taking prescription and non-prescription drugs.

Blackheads can form when the oil combines with skin pigments and gets trapped. Blackheads may suggest the need for better hygiene, or magnesium and vitamin A. Chronic, numerous whiteheads can also form during acne outbreaks, suggesting vitamin B1 deficiency or absorption problems. Consistent raised spots on the outside of the arms and sometimes even the thighs, resembling "chicken skin," may suggest need for magnesium, vitamin A, or essential fatty acids or the need to avoid foods that inhibit the absorption of these nutrients, such as trans-fatty acids found in margarine and hydrogenated oils, such as cottonseed oil and palm kernel oil.

Food allergies, allergies to facial creams, soaps, shampoos, makeup, and excess intake of refined sugars, can all cause or contribute to acne. Certain foods can also aggravate acne conditions because of their high-acid forming effects on the body, especially fried foods, trans fats, iodized salt, alcohol, hot and spicy foods, all processed foods, chocolate, fruit juices, carbonated beverages, caffeinated beverages, and dairy products. Excessive long-term intake of seafood or other high iodine foods may also cause acne in some people.

Coexisting gum problems suggest the need for folic acid. A separate acne condition may occur in women 30-40 years old due to physical exercising or working all day with face makeup, lowered resistance due to stress, or hyper-response to bacteria or hormone problems. Another acne problem, acne rosacea (reddish spots in a pattern over nose and cheeks), may be a sign of low B vitamins or low hydrochloric acid in the stomach.

Best of health to you

Answer 2

acne is caused by your pores getting clogged from bacteria and oils from your skin. So it really never clears up 100%, everyone gets a pimple every now and then. Just wash you face in the morning and at night. Don't over do it though, washing your face to much, or using harsh products, will only make it worse. Use something with glycolic acid. That will help remove dead skin and help unclog pores so you don't get acne. Some good brands you could use would be: Zirh, Anonthy, MD Formulations Men, Kiehls, and Lab Series. You can get them online, or at sephora (make up store) or a good department store. They cost more but work. Also if you use a product after you wash that protects against sun and bacteria that will help keep you acne down.

Answer 3

Make sure you exfoliate and moisturize. Those are the two most important things for good skin. Use a scrub 2-3 times a week and an oil free moisturizer all over your face and one with oil where you are especially dry.
Make sure you wash your face in the morning and night, get lots of sleep, drink lots of water, eat your veggies.
Good luck, Merry Christmas, and try not to stress!

Answer 4

Some people suffer from acne well into their adult life. It just depends on the person, their genetics, and cleansing methods. Ask your mom and dad when their teen acne cleared up and if they still have problems with acne. It might give you a good idea.

Answer 5

you might want to try medications such as proactiv,murad,clearskin,etc. i use murad, and my acne went away in 4 weeks like they said it would... but they keep coming back when it's "that time of the month for me" lol. but you obviously don't get acne for that reason.people who use proactive seem to be satisfied with their results.

if you don't want medication, just wash your face with soap and water for a while and see what happens. and don't try popping your pimples! if you do it incorrectly, you will tear your skin, and acne scars will form. acne scars are the worst, and can take up to a year to fade away!

eating a poor diet doesn't cause acne, but you should still eat healthy foods. make sure to change your pillow cases twice a month and wipe your telephones off. you should try a facial. i got a facial once and although it hurt like hell, i notcied that my acne went away for a long period of time. try a facial

p.s. when you get acne, it means that your horomones are fuctioning correctly!
