What is a natural way to get rid of acne?!


Question: What is a natural way to get rid of acne?
I have the nastiest most greasy face ever and my pimples are EVERYWHERE..:/
What can I do about it??

Answers:

The majority of over the counter acne products have one of these active ingredients in it which is suppose to clear acne: Benzoyl Peroxide, Salicylic Acid, Sulfur, Alpha Hydroxy Acid, Beta Hydroxy Acid, Lactic Acid, Glycolic Acid. (Go to Alpha Hydrox/Neoteric Cosmetics, Skin Laboratory, Cellbone Technology website to buy acids). If your acne has not cleared up after trying these ingredients, then you should try the following routine below:

SEVEN things must be done EVERYDAY to reduce/prevent acne. Doing one or a few of these will NOT keep skin clear as possible!

STEP 1 WASH, TONE, MOISTURIZE FACE TWICE A DAY
Wash face 2 times a day, morning and night (possibly 3rd time, midday, if super oily/sweating). Only use products that are labeled oil-free, won't clog pores, non-comedogenic, or non-acnegenic! Try this natural and gentle face routine: Wash Face with warm water & cleanser - Purpose Gentle Cleansing Bar/Wash by Johnson & Johnson. Tone Face with liquid toner/astringent - Thayers or Dickinson's Witch Hazel, it's gentle, helps prevent acne, minimizes pore size. Moisturize Face with an oil-free moisturizer - Lily Of The Desert Aloe Vera Gelly, its 99% organic, contains Vitamin A, C, E! Aloe is gentle, helps renew skin cells, heals blemishes/scars. Don't use other brands of aloe, has very little aloe and to much junk in it which can irritate skin!

STEP 2 KEEP HANDS, HAIR, OTHER STUFF CLEAN
Keep dirt & bacteria at bay to prevent breakouts! Always wash hands before applying face products! Don't rest hands on face! Don't let phone nor dirty oily hair touch face! Don't lean face on objects! Clean eye glasses often! Wash pillowcase, bedsheets, blanket, washcloth, towel often! Old makeup, makeup tools harbor bacteria, Use fresh makeup, wash/replace tools often!

STEP 3 EAT HEALTHY FOOD AND LIMIT JUNK FOOD
Research has shown that there is a connection between certain kinds of food & acne! Buy the book The Clear Skin Diet by Alan C. Logan & Valori Treloar! Eat more fruits, vegetables, foods rich in omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin A, vitamin C. Limit intake of dairy, butter, greasy/fried foods, sugar, candy, salt, dessert. Always avoid cigarettes, tobacco, illegal drugs!

STEP 4 DRINK WATER
Drinking about 64 oz of pure water everyday improves skin quality, flushes out toxins, delivers nutrients to skin! You can also include 100% Fruit Juice as part of your daily total. Limit intake of milk, caffeine, coffee, soda pop, tea, alcohol.

STEP 5 TAKE VITAMIN MINERAL SUPPLEMENT
Its hard to get all vitamins minerals skin needs, so take a supplement everyday! Caution! Overdosing on vitamins minerals from food or supplements is dangerous!

STEP 6 ACTIVATE YOUR SKIN
Do at least 1 of these activities EVERYDAY to activate your skin:

Aerobic Exercise increases circulation & delivery of nutrients to skin cells, encourages good blood supply, helps remove toxins, controls acne breakouts! Do 20 to 30 minutes of exercise EVERYDAY! Drink Water! Immediately take a shower to remove sweat & dirt!

Face Massage improves acne prone skin because it removes toxins away from the face & delivers nutrients to the skin. A lymphatic massage (massaging the lymph nodes on the face) can also improve your skin! You can also buy a book on face massage, such as Ten Minute Facelift by Jennie Harding. Using aloe vera, do a 10 minute face massage before going to bed EVERYDAY.

Clarisonic Sonic Skin Cleansing System (electronic face brush with sonic power) will keep acne prone skin clear and smooth! Check out the Clarisonic website. Do not use cleanser that comes with this product, buy Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash. If the Clarisonic is to expensive, buy the Olay Professional Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System. Don't use facial brush if you have pustular acne or serious sensitive skin!

STEP 7 GET ENOUGH SLEEP
Getting enough sleep helps skin repair itself. Adults need between 7 to 9 hours of sleep everyday. Children (10 to 17 years old) need 8.5 to 9.25 hours of sleep everyday.

EXTRA TIPS:
Makeup Setting Spray Will Give You Shine-Free Skin All Day, Even In Hot Weather!
1) Skindinavia No More Shine Makeup Finish
2) Model In A Bottle Makeup Setting Spray
3) Urban Decay De-Slick Oil Control Makeup Setting Spray
4) Sephora Make Up For Ever Mist & Fix

People have said dabbing a little bit of milk of magnesia on your face will also control oily skin. Google search the words "milk of magnesia for oily skin" for more information!



First you need to experiment on "why" you are getting that way. Sometimes it is environmental. Other times food based. See where I am going?

Try and avoid the those situations that increase the production. Next, I suggest alcohol wipes. Try several different types because they are not all equal. Some will work better than others for you. Some have Aloe that may also be a benefit to you. Trial and error will be your only recourse in this. Develop a habit of wiping your face every hour. Duck into a restroom for a quick facial wipe. Be careful, this will effect any make-up you have applied.

You might even try changing your body/facial soap. Some leave oils to make your body/face feel softer. Deodorant soaps also leave chemicals behind that can effect your condition. So don't be afraid to experiment here as well.

You may even be having a reaction to the laundry soap you use. The perfumes/odor emanating from your clothes may also be a factor.

Getting a better grip on the cause and effect for your condition will be helpful. Regular cleaning/wiping will remove the oils & dirt, and the alcohol will help kill off the bacteria that might cause acne.

Make it all a fun experiment if you can. It is best to try to enjoy the process, even making it a sort of game with your partner and/or friends. It's nice to have the added motivation and help.

Good luck to you.

Experience



The most effective methods to combat acne include a combination of prevention and better skincare.
A few of the most effective and most practical ways are as follows:
1. Exercise regularly- this would alleviate negative stress that causes hormonal imbalances in our system but make sure you don't wear synthetic clothing such as nylon or lycra as these trap moisture and could clog pores and irritate the skin further.

2.Safe Cosmetics-To avoid pore-clogging and skin irritations that can contribute to acne, use products labeled "noncomedogenic" or "oil-free." Opt for "hypo-allergenic" perfumes and cosmetics to avoid allergic reactions and skin irritation

3.Healthy Diet-Studies show that diet does not play a role in either the cause or the treatment of acne.

4.Healthy Skin Regimen-Avoid harsh scrubbing or over-washing, because this can cause possible skin irritation or possible over production of oil to replace what's washed off, clogging pores in the process.

5. Acne Products-Some of the more popular products on the market that can prevent acne include:

* Benzoyl Peroxide
* Proactiv? Solution
* Salicylic Acid
* Retinoids
* Antibiotics
* Oral Contraceptives
* Anti-Androgens
* Isotretinoin (Accutane)

6. Shaving-Shaving is actually an excellent way of exfoliating or removing dead skin to help with the prevention and spreading of acne instead of leaving the remains to clog pores.

7.Stress-Stress includes external and internal stressors. External Stressors are those that compromise your skin's ability to heal, like oily make-up and too much sun.
