The first thing you need to take a look at is your DIET. You've
probably heard from a doctor or dermatologist that "diet does not
effect acne at all, and you can eat whatever you want." All we can say
in response to that is: YOU"VE BEEN MISINFORMED. Diet alone is not the
only thing causing your acne, however it's a MAJOR part of the problem.
Until you make dramatic changes in what you eat and drink, you will
never permanently cure your acne.
The foods you have been eating and the beverages you have been drinking
over time have caused an incredible amount of toxic buildup in your
internal organs. Understand, the skin is simply another channel of
elimination for your body. Until you address these INTERNAL ISSUES,
acne will continue to be a problem for you.
The final link that needs to be addressed is HORMONAL IMBALANCES. This
can happen naturally over time, however this can be corrected without
too much trouble. In many cases we find that it's diet related, in
which diet modifications are made.
Now don't be overwhelmed! Yes acne is a complicated problem however
once you're armed with the right information clearing up your acne
problem and maintaining clear skin is a relatively easy process.

I'm not quite sure that these are the natural cures for acne that anyone's grandmother had in mind. And perhaps the term 'cure' should be used very loosely... However, home acne remedies remain very popular - perhaps out of a sense of frustration from those suffering from the dreaded zit. Whether toothpaste, urine therapy, or apple cider vinegar actually work, is debatable. This article will look at the premise behind each of these options, and whether they are truly worth your time.
There are several variations to the toothpaste acne remedy. Some people swear that it alone, dabbed onto the offending zits, will clear them up. Others prefer mixing toothpaste in with several other ingredients, forming mixtures that range from simple to complex. For example, one teenager washed her face with salty water, left it on, added more salt to her face until it was entirely covered, then washed all of that off. Finally, toothpaste was applied to the pimples, and left on for a few hours, but preferably overnight.
Most of these remedies were multi-step processes, and even when other ingredients were used, they were not mixed in with the toothpaste. Like in the example above, the other steps often cleansed the face, perhaps rinsed with cold water to close the pores. Then toothpaste was added as a final
step.
There were even instructions on which types of toothpaste to use. According to some, gels don't work as well, and whitening toothpastes were either unnecessary, or should be avoided. Given that baking soda also features in some other remedies, perhaps a toothpaste containing that could be used?
Will it work? Well, some of the reports from satisfied acne sufferers seem to indicate it may be worth a try, provided it isn't too harsh and irritating to your skin. It certainly isn't expensive. Some people saw results overnight, some took a few days, others longer. So, it may not be a once-off solution. One thing to be aware of is that any type
of hard scrubbing of the skin can make acne worse.
Urine therapy is one that can elicit such revulsion (in me!), that it is almost hard to write about it. The theory is that one's own urine is packed with antibodies, hormones, and other goodies that are beneficial for our health. This includes vitamins and minerals that the body has excreted, because it didn't need. One article I read made the very good point that if they weren't needed the first time, they will likely be excreted again the second time. That same article points out that
just because urine is not toxic, does not mean it is beneficial.
Urine therapy had its' origins amongst some Indian mystics, and seems to be particularly associated with the tantric philosophy. As an acne remedy, it is suggested that one massages one's urine over the affected areas. Some people leave it on overnight, assuming their partners and family can stand the smell.
The problem with urine therapy is that a lot of the justification is very unscientific and poorly supported. It is bolstered by conspiracy theories as to why this supposedly wonderful substance is ignored by the medical profession, except where scientists have extracted and tested certain elements of urine for therapeutic purposes. This does not mean, however, that therapeutic concentrations are to be found in one's own
urine.
Bottom line for urine therapy with acne? There are a lot of other good alternatives out there, that don't smell, and don't have waste products mixed in with them. And people on any medications should not try urine therapy.
Apple cider vinegar is usually diluted with water, and sometimes mixed with other things, including honey and jojoba oil. There are very mixed reviews about it. Some people love it, others say that at first it seemed to make their acne worse, but then it really helped to turn it around. And others, quite a few others, say it made their skin, dry, very irritated, painful, and flakey. Those with sensitive skin seem to fare the worst, so if you do have sensitive skin, avoid apple cider vinegar at all costs.
One important point is
that apple cider vinegar should be diluted. And be prepared for a rather off smell. It's probably not as noxious as urine however!
One feature of acne home remedies is that they do not work for everyone. This is true of medicine and over the counter treatments as well though. Those with sensitive skin should be the most careful, as many of these home-made treatments can be very harsh. This includes both toothpaste and apple cider vinegar. Urine therapy may work best with those who have a strong belief in it, although there are many other effective options to explore. It's worth keeping in mind that although some people report success with certain things, those successes have not been compared to other treatments in a controlled trial. It may be that other remedies may have been more effective after all.
1 : There are medical treatments that can cure your acne.
FALSE! It's scientifically known that medication can't cure acne. At
best, it only hides it for a little while.
2: Externally applied commercial antioxidant products reverse
wrinkles.
FALSE! Scientific studies disprove this-with the exception of Retin-A
(which is expensive).
3: "Junk foods" cause acne.
FALSE! Scientific studies refute this myth. While eating nothing but
doughnuts will not help your mission to develop gorgeous skin-there
is no specific food that causes acne. However, there are certain
ingredients placed in certain types of foods that contribute to acne.
4: It will take a few months to clear your acne.
FALSE! Using the basic information in The "Magnificently Radiant &
Youthful Skin" manual most people clear most, if not all, of their
acne in less than 5 days.
5: Only surgery and other cosmetic procedures can permanently reduce
facial wrinkles.
FALSE! Botox and cosmetic surgeries are temporarily lasting and
require follow ups in order for the effect to last-which is very
expensive. The continual usage of these surgeries usually resorts in
a distorted face. The "Magnificently Radiant & Youthful Skin" manual
discusses the natural ways to reduce wrinkling-by starting from
within.
Wouldn't you agree that it's crazy to think you'll get different
results if you keep doing the same thing over and over again? If I
keep touching a hot stove and kept getting burned - I'd be silly to
think the next time I touch that hot stove I won't get burnt.
http://skincarebf.blogspot.com/#
Before I found this solution, I battled acne the same way you are
doing today - with over-the-counter products and prescription drugs -
hoping against hope that it would disappear one day.
Unfortunately, I can tell you from experience that those solutions
will not work; all they do is provide relief from the symptoms. They
do not go to the root of the problem and get rid of the acne itself.
Today, instead of avoiding my reflection, I break into a great big
SMILE whenever I see my face in the mirror! It is such a relief to
see clear skin staring right back at me, instead of red bumps,
whiteheads, blackheads, and sores!
Those who do not have acne or have to deal with it will never
understand. To them it's like, "What's the Big Deal?"
Well, no matter which way you look at it, ACNE HURTS YOU!
Emotionally, psychologically, and physically, it hurts on a daily
basis. It can and will cause embarrassment at any point in your day,
and the more you worry over it, the worse it often becomes.
It creates low self-esteem and a bad self-image, hindering you from
enjoying and sharing your talents and abilities with others. It is
painful and can cause severe scarring that remains with you for the
rest of your life.

The following information can help you understand factors that may contribute to skin problems. An alteration or two in diet or lifestyle or treatment methods may significantly improve the health of the skin and body, which will help in the control of acne and related problems. This following information will assist in making educated decisions.
Stress: Stress has a strong relationship to acne and a profound impact. When under stress the body produces hormonal steroids, such as cortisol (a corticosteroid hormone frequently called hydrocortisone). Like other hormonal steroids (testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, etc.) these chemicals target the skin in a disruptive manner and acne flare-ups may coincide with increased stress.
While it is easy to suggest the avoidance of stress, this is not likely to be accomplished. Begin recognizing stress levels and potentially stressful events or situations. During these times, cleanse very thoroughly, or cleanse three times a day rather than two. Increase the use of some products from once daily, for example, to twice. Use the Green Tea Poultice more frequently. In short, step up the daily skin care regimen to offset the skin's response to stress. When the stressful situation passes, return to the normal daily skin care regimen.
Diet: A good diet is an effective tool in controlling acne, especially fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants, combined with adequate protein. A healthy and well-balanced diet affects the health and efficiency of the body and that includes the skin. Every organ in your body relies upon the same vitamins, minerals and nutrients to function. Since the skin is at the end of the food line, it suffers greatly from an improperly balanced diet. Foods with high antioxidant content (colorful fruits and vegetables) are very helpful in promoting the healing of acne infections.
Essential Fatty Acids: People who have tried numerous prescriptive and non-prescriptive acne treatments without success will probably succeed with Skintactix products. If not, and you have multiple whiteheads and/or blackheads, you may have a deficiency of linoleic acid (omega 6). This condition makes acne treatment unsuccessful because of excessive follicular congestion. Skintactix products and diet modification successfully achieve control of linoleic deficiency-induced acne. For more information on this subject please see the Acne & Essential Fatty Acids page.
To cure your acne, the first thing you need to really understand is
that acne is an internal problem. I know that may be hard to grasp
being that the breakouts are on your skin. However, understand the skin
is simply another channel of elimination for your body. Simply put, the
blemishes on your skin is where the problem is ending up, not starting.
It's very important for you to understand that you're not going to cure
your acne by washing your face with a cleanser and applying a cream or
topical treatment. The "root cause" of acne is internal, and until you
address those internal issues you will never permanently cure your acne.
