Getting rid of Acne Blemishes naturally

February 26, 2007

Good morning all. I have a question. Does anyone know of non-medicinal

ways to get rid of acne blemishes on the face? I want to use both

topical ways and dietary ways to do this. I am a vegetarian slowly

trying to go to being a vegan. Lately I've been having some pimples on

my face and when they go away, they leave the dark spots. I put tea tree

oil on my pimples straight to get the swelling down. It doesn't seem to

bother it or irritate it. I use Desert Essence facial wash, witch hazel

as a toner and Aveeno face lotion (don't remember which kind it is) and

shea butter to moisturize my face.

Using a dampened asprin over the blemish will help to

dry it up and go away. Place it on the blemish. Make

sure your Witch Hazel doesn't have alcohol in

it...some do and alcohol dries the skin so the pores

become blocked.

Remember aspirin is derived from White Willow Bark and

is as close to natural as you can get with over-the

counter medications.IMO

Good day Try adding some B-Vitamins and some Fish Oil. Rahses that

leave a dark spot can be indicative of a skin disorder " Pellagra.

*Pellagra is a skin disease caused by a Lack of a B-Vit. *Niacin.

Niacin can be bought in any store. " dontae980 " <dontae980 wrote:

I'd use the witch hazel and tea tree oil you're already using. Those

would probably be my first choices.

What else...

Get a good loofah sponge and apply it liberally when you bathe. Not so

much so that you wear off more skin and leave scabs, but liberal use

with a good glycerine soap might help.

Increase your garlic intake. Garlic is a good natural antibiotic. Part

of the reason you are developing acne might be due to an increase in

bacteria on your skin.

I think someone has already mentioned a good colon, kidney and liver

flush.

Increasing your water intake is another way...depending on who you

talk to, they say that you should drink one half your body weight in

ounces. So if you weigh 160 lbs US, that would be 80 ounces. Some say

three liters a day is a good amount, so it depends who you talk to.

Spending more time in the sun is a good way to help with the oil

issues on the skin. Sweating not only releases oil from the pores, but

also helps flush what toxins you might have in your system.

And how much sleep do you get? Do you get a regular and sound amount

of sleep every night, or do you stay up unable to sleep for one reason

or another?

One other thing to consider would be meditation. Decrease the amount

of stress in your life, and you decrease the acne. It works, trust me.

Tried and true. 30 minutes a day or more if you can reasonably manage

it, and you should start seeing results within a few weeks.

Hope this helps.

You know, I used to have bad acne problems, but when I stopped using acne

products it all cleared up. Another thing that helped was putting a water

filter on my shower. I got these ideas from a book I read called The Truth

About Beauty. Can't think of the author's name now, think its Kat something,

but its a real good read. You should look into it.
