If you have tried a million acne treatments including prescription and nothing works What do you recommend?

Answer 1

It may take up to one year to eliminate skin problems. They are some of the slowest conditions to respond to natural therapies, but the response is often more complete than with drugs. Aromatherapy: Massage affected areas with bergamot, camphor, geranium, juniper, lavender, or neroli essential oils. Ayurveda: Practitioners of Ayurvedic medicine recommend applying tumeric and sandalwood paste (1/2 teaspoon of each and enough water to make a paste) to pimples, and drinking half a cup of aloe vera juice twice daily until acne clears. Diet: Whole foods diet with special emphasis on vegetables (four to five servings per day, try to eat half of servings raw) and whole fruits (one to three times per day). The more severe the acne, the more you should reduce animal fats (saturated). Some people get acne in response to stressor foods such as caffeine, refined sugars, and alcohol. Processed foods such as colas, candies, and frozen and processed foods may also be a problem. Be sure to increase your intake of pure water and eat more fiber foods. Mono-cleansing diets for one to two days per week for several months may be helpful in people who are not hypoglycemic (low blood sugar), debilitated, or require food to keep up strength for working. Examples of a mono-diet might include one steamed vegetable such as broccoli and brown rice without any animal products. Use pro-biotics, found in the chilled section of your health food store as directed on label. Fasting one day a week may also be helpful. Consider colon, candida, and liver cleansing (see our Cleansing and Detoxification section for more information). Flower Essences: Add 3-5 drops of Crab Apple essence to pure water and drink throughout the day. This will help detox and purification and alleviate feelings of unattractiveness. Rescue Remedy

I've had Co2 done at 19, another laser at 22 and fraxel done recently, as well as a lot of other treatments like IPL, microderm, facepeels and everything else available . I been suffering from acne since i was 15, it only got worse over the years. I also developed a lot of scaring. Lasers don't cure acne. It could reduce the appearance of scars, but the difference isn't huge and if you are on a budget you would just feel like you wasted a lot of money. Those before/after pix are just to lure you in. Don't trust them, its about marketing.

Take vitamin A(at least 10.000 IU per capsule), B, C and fish oil with omega 3 daily, drink plenty of water, wash your face, and if your skin get really oily, try using essntial oil as a mosturizer.(yes oily skins can benefit from use) Don't worry it wont make you breakout, a few drops of pure emu oil after you wash your face, should help your oil production slow down, and it absorb nicely.

And for the pimples you can dab a qtip in tea tree oil and use it on the top of you cleansed and mosturized face. That way it shouldn't burn and irritate your skin.

This isn't a cure to completely get rid of them, but this regime would help you have cleared complexion. If you have a lot of brekouts you can apply tea tree oil 4-5 times a day until you notice the improvement, then you can reduce to morning and before bed application!

( pure essential oils can be bought at the helathfood store)

Answer

Basically, keep your face clean, washing with a mild soap, several times a day. Do not use a washcloth or scrub your face. Just wash and rinse thoroughly. Aloe vera gel helps dry pimples very nicely. Be sure to wash your pillow case frequently. Also, keep your hair clean, particularly if you have bangs or if it hangs over your face.

Answer 3

In the old days when your grandparents were teenage. They didn't have products for acne. They just used rubbing alcohol. You put some on a folded tissue and dab it on the spots. Fold a tissue until it's about two inches square. Pour alcohol on the tissue. Make sure the spots are really wet. Let the alcohol dry. Do this once a day at least. You can also do it before bed at night. The alcohol gets rid of the excess oil and the spot goes away. It works pretty fast. When the spots are gone keep wiping your face with the alcohol every day and the spots won't come back.
