I deal with light acne STILL (I'll be 25 soon)... I'm so ready to be over it.

 

One thing that's helped a lot is cutting out all the products. Most

of them have ingredients that irritate and/or clog pores, even the

ones that say non-comedogenic and/or are sold for specifically for

acne.

 

I notice that when I'm at school--clean air, clean (and no

chlorine/fluoride) water, organic whole foods diet, my acne pretty

much disappears (since ceasing with all the cleansers)... and still

comes back a bit every time I go home for break.

 

Some things to try:

 

- 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide, smoothed on with a cotton ball.

- masks made from green clay and raw, organic apple cider vinegar.

Might add some essential oils if you like.

- Crab Apple flower essence... added to a lotion or facial spritz...

hey, and added to that mask.

 

Acne can be linked to the liver, so that may be something to pay

attention to... she could see a Chinese herbalist, or do some liver

cleansing on her own. She could also contact Linda at

info -- she might be able to get a phone

consultation... Linda works with her clients through diet, flower

essences, and cell salts.

Dear Teresa,

 

What do you mean when you say your

friend has " tried everything " ?

 

What is your friend doing in the way of

exercise, diet, and mental health?

 

I remember the horror of adolescent acne all too

well. It always eased off in summer when

school was out.

Fresh air, sunshine and the lack of stress all

helped.

 

Has your friend tried zinc, and betacarotenes?

 

One of the best things to do for acne

is to clean out the gut and the liver.

 

This goes for a lot of health problems of course.

I heard of several cases of bad acne that found

relief from massive amounts, and I mean massive,

of probiotics.

 

Sometimes people with acne that bad try

tetracyclin, which is just deadly for the gut

beasties. Farming the gut with good beasties

is one of the basic things to do for health,

and it won't hurt, that's for sure.

 

One good place to find out about probiotics

is the website of Natren: http://natren.com

They make a superb formula,

but I have been told that you can get it cheaper

My daughter just turned 16 and used to have really bad acne. My husbands

two sisters have that heavy pitting that you see on faces that have suffered

from severe acne. DH and I were concerned that this would happen to her,

because it was getting really bad - deep infections with her entire cheeks

cherry red from inflammation. Poor thing was getting all kinds of

suggestions from well meaning strangers, like " why don't you wash your

face? " harrumph.

 

So, we took her to the doctor, who prescribed antibiotics and hinted that

she might need contraceptives to keep it down. We didn't want to try this

extreme measure without checking out all the options.

 

Okay, to make a long story shorter, we found light therapy. She uses it

religiously, sometimes an hour per day. It's not so bad because she reads

books and listens to the radio while she does it. Now her face is much

better. It's not like a baby's bottom, but the deep infections are gone and

the redness has disappeared. We're happy that she doesn't have to take

heavy duty systemic drugs. She won't have the pitted face when she grows

up, that's all I'm looking for.

 

Here is a link to the light we got for her:

I can't remember where we purchased it, we bought it over the internet.

It's been a year and we haven't had to replace the tubes yet. We got the

one on top, the Verilux Happy Skin unit.

 

I hope your friend finds relief from her embarrassing condition.

 

Sincerely,

Pamela
