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

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

What should you do with a non popping zit?

Keep your face and hands clean and leave the little bugger alone. It is never good to pop a pimple or a zit because bacteria can enter the bloodstream or cause an infection and scarring on your face. I prefer using an astringent that contains 2% salicylic acid and then using a toner. I also use a moisturizer for the face every night that contains benzoyl peroxide that will kill bacteria that cause acne. If you use make-up, make sure to clean your brushes and recycle all product every 3 months or sooner. It helps to eat a healthy diet and drink 6-8 glasses of water every day! :) HOPE THIS HELPS!
