Hi KC
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 %26amp; spinach, celery %26amp; 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 youHow can I get rid of acne without having to buy expensive products?
If you have persistent acne which is difficult to control then the problem most likely comes from within. Your body is trying to eliminate toxins through the pores of your skin and it is this which creates the pimples. Bacteria grow around the pimples and the pimples spread. Yuk!
You need to detox your body. I can recommend 'Acne Free in 3 Days'. See the link below to read more about this acne cure.
Good luck!
well first you can go to target or walmart or your local drugstore and buy this stuff called apricot scrub it is in an orange squeeze bottle and it costs like 3 bucks. Use it every time u r in the shower.
Well that depends if it is acne or just bad skin. If it is acne you need to go on an antibiotic like Tectralysel (?) You should go see a dermotologist. I know it's expensive but it is worth it. If you just have bad skin then you should wash, tone and moisturise daily, apply sunscreen everyday in the sun, steam ( hold your face over a bowl of hot steaming water) 3 times a week, and do a mask once a week. Any products will work! Also cut down on make up and keep your hair out of your face. You a non-greasy lip gloss, try to stick to lip ice! Good luck
i have acne..very serious before but now it lessened and im still 18,just sleep early,like 8 to 10 hours daily..wash your face when you wake up to get rid of the oil,when you take a bath,face first body later and before you go to sleep to also get rid of the oil an the dirt you got from the day...,use ivory..it works really good....and ps,use a handtowel put into hotwater,and just tap it in your face..it will take the dirt out right away...trust me dudette,you will become B-U-T-ful again..脺
i have very oily skin and i try not to wash my face daily because you take out all the good things that you face need to fight off the bacteria. i say try st. Ives clear pore treatment it is a green solution, along with oxy pads no more than twice a day. try doing this every other day , and on the days you don't try using hot water alone on a clean rag to wipe your face down. this will help open your pores to let some oil out and right after try using cool water to help tightly close them back. this should help. if not write me back and I'll let you in on another secret.
Try Clinique.... It really works!!!!
OR
AVONClearskin.......
they both work great!!!!
Drink at least a litre of spring or mineral water each day. It really does help, and you need to flush out toxins from your body which often use the skin as a dumping ground. They main key to clear skin is frequent scrubbing with plain soap, morning and night. I cannot stress that enough, most supposed anti-acne treatments and face washes do not work efficiently enough to remove dirt, grime and bacteria that lurks beneath skin as good scrubbing with soap does. An affordable but very effective product is Clean and Clear's Deep Pore Treatment Lotion. Also use a plain, but rich moisturiser such as the original Nivea Cream. Clay masks weekly before you got to bed are most effective for acne prone skin and combination skin types. You may also want to drink hot water with a couple of thick slices of lemon before bedtime a couple of times a week, or during a ';bad skin'; period as it helps clear it from the inside-out. Hope this helps.
I dislike using products with chemicals so i use baking soda mixed with a little water to make a paste. Apply it to the affected area over night regularly for about a week. Along with this have atleast 2 liters of water every day and for this to be really effective, you may have to give up all carbonated drinks, chocolate and coffee. This worked for me!
To get rid of acne. Try a gentle cleanser. One that is glycerin or sorbitol based will be good and it does not need to be expensive. Cetaphil and Neutrogena has some pretty good ones. Try Cetaphil庐 Gentle Skin Cleanser.
Proactiv works for some people it clears up for a while but acne may come back. It is also very harsh on your skin and may dry it all up, definitely not for people with sensitive skin. My friend said it corroded and bleached her metal sink so if it can do that to the sink, think of what it is doing to your face. So Proactiv is a no no.
Wash your face at least twice a day and everytime after you perspire. If your skin is the oily kind, you do not need to apply any moisturizer, your skin oils are enough to keep it hydrated. If you really must apply a gentle light oil free one. Cetaphil庐 Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 15 or Cetaphil庐 Moisturizing Lotion is quite good
Apply pimple cream to the acne area. Try benzoyl peroxide low strength(2.5%) first. Don't pick poke scrub or pop your pimples unless you want scars which are really ugly. Scrubbing cleansers or washes are also no-nos because it equals picking and poking and makes acne worse Treated pimples gently.
Eat healthy. Make sure you drink plenty of water. Cut down on sugar and carb intake. Foods like chocolates, coffee, soda drinks, bread, rice potatoes or anything starchy and sugary are no-nos. Cut down on oily and fried foods also. Go for grilled, steamed or baked food. Make sure you eat lots of fruits and vegatables. Ensure that your diet is rich in vitamin A, C, E and Omega-3 which are important for the skin. Less stress and sleeping enough is also important. Not having enough sleep is like putting stress on your body. Makes sure you sleep at 8 hours a day.
If all else fails, it is time to see a dermatologist. The pills and medications do work but you may have to take them long term to suppress the acne as it is not a cure and acne is a chronic disease. However the pills are not miracles and you won鈥檛 see results in 2-3 days. It normally takes about 2 weeks to see the difference. However not all dermatologists prescribe pills unless your acne is really bad. The pills will include antibiotics, accutane and contraceptives. If your acne isn鈥檛 that bad, dermatologists will prescribe topical creams first. If you are really going to a dermatologist, I suggest asking about a product known as Retin-A that treats acne and acne marks and heals the scars.
Well, I have just read about something for that on the net, but have never tried it myself. Go to www.acnefreein3days.com
I hope this helps.
