acne problrms... :(

Merry Meet all,

Firstly this is rather embarrasing for me so not teasing please! Anyways, i have acne problems, they just won't go away. I hate using those 3 step proactive creams coz they take forever to put on! Please let me know if there are any other ways of getting rid of acne and help the scarring. Thanks in advance,

Willow :)

Have you tried (?):

Meditation (reduces stress)
Eating healthy (balances body pH, lowers carbohydrates)
Drinking lots of water
exercising

I used to have acne kinda bad acne, now it's rare.

Also I would try rubbing tomato on your face, it drys the face well and comfortably.

dont worry lots of people have these problems. if you find your skin gets oily during the day there are these wipes you can get at sames that will pick up the oil to help. i use them there really helpfull.

Hi willow

Nothing to be embarrassed about :)

I've found diet played a major part in my acne, especially wheat, milk and alcohol. Try to eat as healthily as you can, drink lots of water to flush your system out, I also find if I'm constipated (now that IS embarrassing!) I break out more. Exercise will also help your skin get rid of toxins by sweating them out. If you have no change after following the above, get your hormone levels checked by your doctor. Underlying conditions such as pcos can cause acne and need to be managed. Hope this helps :)

I wrote something about this on the lemon thread. Green tea is a gentle yet super effective astringent. Moisturizing is important. I use unrefined organic sesame seed oil, just a little with some water added to make it easy to apply. It isn't the oil that causes acne, its hormones, dirt, and irritation. Sesame seed oil is antimicrobial, so it will actually work to keep your face clean. Don't touch your face during the day and don't press anything like a phone onto your face.

Okey dokes and thanks :)

well there are some ways that dont involve magick. You can see a dermatologist and get some medication for your face. I had acne as well a few years ago. I started to eat healthy, go to a gym, and I had a lotion that i would use. I also covered it up a bit, if that helps. Also, you can meditate and visualize all your stress floating away, and imagine nothing is left in your body. Visualize a bright light in front of you and breathe it in, breath by breath. Feel purified and calm. Then visualize you are glowing a bright shade of white and you see yourself slowly fade, looking clean and purified. I hope this helps, and good luck! (Also lemon juice is good for your acne)

I use to put Aloe vera gel and it did me fine. All skins are different. Eat less junk food, exercise, drink lots of water, and wash your face with hot water everyday.

I use Witch Hazel astringent, even though I have occasional breakouts, it helps and makes your skin look really healthy! I also drink lots of teas.
