Does anyone know any natural treatments for acne

[Guest guest]

hi, does anyone know of any natural treatments for acne that you know

works and is cruelty free? thanks:)

Hi,

 

Acne often is the result of impurities in the blood due to constipation and poor

elimination.

Correcting constipation, improving eating habits and the application of some

herbal formula on the area solve the problem.

I used to have a serious case of acne until I became a vegetarian and also aware

of the importance of eating well and the elimination process.

Sometimes rubing straight Vit A on it will work.

[Guest guest]

Make sure you use a cleanser that does not dry the skin to much. I

make my own toner that is half witchhazel and half apple cider vinegar

with a few drops of tea tree and lavender essential oils. If thats too

strong I water it down little by little.

 

Also, acne can be caused by digestive disorders.

ANY measures you take to cleanse your liver and support your intestinal

tract will help your skin.

 

What is your diet like, how is your digestion, do you have allergies,

is there a hormone connection?

 

Meanwhile, using Apple Cider Vinegar as a skin toner and as a drink (a

generous splash in a glass of water) will get you off to a good start.

The most important thing about treating acne is not to use products

that are going to disrupt the acid mantle (the natural protective film

on the skin.) The acid mantle is acidic and has a PH of between 4 to

5.5 which kills bacteria preventing it from attacking the skin.

 

Bacteria love alkalinity and so applying alkaline products will strip

the acid mantle and allow nasty bacteria to attack the skin. People

with acne often wash their skin a lot (and often with very harsh

products) in the attempt to remove the oil that they believe causes

this skin condition.

 

The key is to look after your acid mantle and use PH balanced products

to treat acne and indeed to keep your skin looking young and healthy.

 

 

Hope this helps!!

In Hindi it is called kare pak. In English it is

called Curry Leaves. How ever, a few leaves chewed

and consumed daily, clears off the acne.

Yes!  I make a treatment for my sister that she loves (it's also safe to use

during pregnancy)  Here  are some recommended essential oils for acne breakouts

(tea tree, lemongrass, bergamot-get BPT free if using on face- patchouli,

lavender, geranium, chamomile to name a few)  mix about 10 drops in total of

chosen EOs with a nice carrier oil (about an ounce) such as grapeseed, jojoba,

sesame, etc and apply over blemishes 2-3 times a day.  Also giving up refined

sugars, flours, alcohol, caffeine, cow's milk products and such will really

help.  You could even do a gentle detox with some apple cider

vinegar/water/lemon juice and take this internally a few times per day.

 

Good luck!

Acne occurs when either the liver is to overburdened to process

hormones and/or the bowels are out of balance as in having used

antibiotics, birth control, too much sugar, etc.

 

-liver detox

-probiotic

-good quality clay mask daily for about a week, then twice daily till

you're down to once or twice a week. Follow up with an aloe vera based

moisturizer. There are two that I like that also contain essential

oils and I can send you info on that if you like but any good green

clay should do the job--it will pull out impurities and cut down on

oil. Skin may feel dry but that's not a bad thing. Give it one month

of this treatment and see if it doesn't dramatically change matters

-do not ever put chemicals on the skin or in the body. Check ewg.org

for a list of chemical ingredients and product toxicity

-eat a dairy-free diet, high in veggies and greens. See

www.rawfamily.com for green smoothies. Warning: too much raw food all

at once will make it worse so it's necessary to do the liver cleanse,

probiotic and mask too.

 

This is a very non-detailed list. I have all the specifics in files

and can certainly email them to you upon personal request.

PS to my last post:

 

I just saw the post on honey and honey can make a nice mask too. Just

apply the best quality honey you can get--Manuka would be good--or any

non-pasteurized honey and spread it on your face on the non-clay mask

days. It's anti-bacterial and has healing properties. Don't over heat

it if it's solid! Place jar in bowl of warm water to soften it up.

 

Once again though, outer treatments are not a cure. The cure is

fixing the internal problem: liver or gut.

True; harsh soaps; dishwashing liquids; anti perspirant soaps;

laundry soaps; shampoos; conditioners; hand soaps; commerical soaps

 

all of these soaps dry and irritate the skin which in turn depletes

 

Natrural Oils on the skin like Vit. E and Vit. D; so in effect;

 

Using hsah detergent type soaps can CAUSE acne; ezcema and psoriosis;

 

The first step in skin health is: buy and use only natural soaps; then

 

Vitamin B3 Niacinamide is taken daily @100 mgs. daily; the point is:

 

Diseases of the skin indicate deficiencies of " skin health vitamins;

 

Vitmain A; Vitmain B3; Vitmain C (lightens skin); Vitamin B12 for acne

Oh, yes, the clay mask helped me a lot when I had acne. It really works.

Bacteria in the pores often leads to break outs. Internally cleansing

is crucial along with external cleansing at least 2x's a day.

I use hydrogen peroxide to cleanse do not rinse, then clay mask but

instead of mixing with water mix with apple cider vinegar.

Good luck

Ensure that you don't have a zinc deficiency. You can either get a

blood test through your doctor or get a simple 'zinc taste test'

through a naturopath or health food shop. Treat the zinc deficiency

with zinc supplementation (15-50mg/day depending on how deficient you

are).

 

Best wishes

I wash my face with natural soap, rinse with cool water, pat dry -and use witch

hazel as an astringent. It works wonders!  Give a try for a couple of months

My daughter had really bad acne and--for the longest time--did not believe me,

when I told her to change her diet. One day an ND told her the same thing about

food and she started to eat mainly vegetables, whole grains, legumes and

seaweed, some virgin olive- and organic coconut oil and--of course--at least 8

cups of pure water a day. The acne was gone within a few months. Once in a

while she " cheated " and got more acne, but for a long time now she is watching

her diet and her face looks great. I was sure she would have scars from the

awful acne she had, but nothing. Her face is beautiful now. BTW, she cleans

her face with alcohol and puts aloe and Vitamin E oil on. I don't know if this

may help other people, but it seems to be good for her skin.
