Acne - A Clean Face - Step 1 in a 12 Step Program

[Gemini]

For those that need more than a special cream like Scotty's Face Cream, then you need to work harder to get rid of acne. Since acne is a condition that occurs from within your body and exhibits on the outside of your body, you need to,

§ Attack acne from inside your body
§ Attack acne from outside your body

If your acne is not to severe, all you might need is a good cream and need only to follow a few steps in my 12 step program to get you past the periods where acne is active.

If your acne is more severe, than you may have to follow my 12-step program, since acne is an expression of your whole body system and is a reflection of what is going on inside your mind, cell structure and internal organs.

Acne is an excessive toxic condition within your body, which the internal elimination organs are unable to eliminate. So your toxins are moved into your blood and excreted through your skin. It is an automatic survival mechanism your body initiates in an effort to protect the insides of your body - cells, liquid, blood, organs, and tissues.

There are 12 areas that you need to look at,

§ Keep your face clean
§ Using Scotty's acne face cream or your favorite face cream
§ Relive your constipation and the tree day liquid fast
§ Making changes to your diet
§ Get plenty of sun, air, and water
§ Vitamins you need to be taking
§ Minerals you should be taking
§ Special supplements to take
§ Herbal mixture to use or drink
§ Special detoxifying drinks or supplements to take
§ Brushing your skin
§ Change your attitude

Step 1: Keeping your face clean

If you use face cosmetics, you need to stop. Some cosmetics irritate the skin and can cause acne by plugging up your pores on your face. The cosmetics chemicals that can cause you the most skin and pore irritation and inflammation are:

mineral oil
lanolin
parabens
propylene glycol

Look at the label of the cosmetics you use. You will find that many cosmetics, soaps, and sunscreens contain these chemicals.

Find a water base make up, not an oil base. Find one that does not irritate your face and use it sparingly

When you wash your face don't use any commercial soaps since they are filled with chemicals that will irritate and worsen your acne condition. And don't excessive wash your face as this will dry your skin of the natural protective oil. Also, don't keep touching your face since you spread or add bacteria to it.

To wash your face use only,

§ Castile hand or liquid soap
§ Pure glycerin hand soap

You can pat your face with a clean hot face towel to bring circulation to your face and to help open and move the toxic material, in the pimple, to the surface. Do not scrub hard to burst a pimple but just scrub lightly to burst a pimple when it is ready to open.

Use the hot towel application only 2-3 times per week.

When a pimple is open do not continue to rub or scrub it. In fact do not pick or scratch an open pimple since this could create other sores or leave scars that are difficult to remove. Just washing your face with clean soap will keep your face free of toxic matter.

Keep in mind,

Whatever you put on your skin will move into your skin and into your bloodstream.

Most commercial creams, lotions, and soaps are filled with all kinds of chemicals that are toxic to your body. By using them you are making your liver work harder.

During the day or at night avoid resting your cheeks or chin on your hand(s) or arm(s). This can irritate your face and cause acne to breakout. When you sleep, try to sleep on your back and not with your face or side of the face into your pillow.

There you have it. Step 1, shows you how to keep your face clean to avoid getting acne or to help relieve acne.

Interesting. I think this is the same concept applied when treating razor bump on the face and back of the neck.

If you make the irritations scar, you will always have the marks, sort of like chicken pox scars.

I think I need to give this link to a few people.

Good Post.

But what if that doesn't work.

Some people have acne issues that require more than home remedies, myself included.

I am thinking of investing in the Obagi treatment.

 

[geist]

Why not just go to a dermotologist?

 

[Shadow]

a derm is a very expensive and time consuming practice which will take years to overcome some things. I'm all for it, but some people can't afford it.

Glycerin soap is all I use on my face, liquid or bar it cleans, smells good, its mild, easy on the skin and is natural...

Get a facial, that is where they go in and steam up your face, pick out the clogged pores, micro-abrasion the dead skin and marks. You will look and feel better, try it once a year, costs about $60 for one hour of treatment...

Yep. I also add glycerin to my lotions, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.

What stores do you buy pure glycerin in that's not watered down for body washes and lotions.

You can get 4 oz of Glycerin USP at any pharmacy. Glycerin is also used to heal. You can actually taste glycerin and it has no side affects.

I put it on at night on my feet and put socks over it and my feet are so soft.

Remember glycerin is a natural humectant so it will lock in moisture from the air. It's great for African-American skin an hair, since it tends to be dry.

Try www.drugstore.com or www.amazon.com .

I have had this done. Good stuff. I have the most sensitive skin in the world so I have to take extra care so I'm not looking like crap.

I would suggest this to anyone who needs to have their skin cleaned up a little better.

there is no cure for acne.

 

[tig 'ol bittays]

There are treatments for acne, diet, rest and exercise have alot to do with why many suffer, especially after puberty.

Exactly. If your diet is messed up, you skin will reflect it.

It's not just called a "pizza face" because you look like one, you know. Eat too many greasy things like that and you will see.

there is no link between diet and acne. certain foods may aggrevate it in certain individuals, but it isnt the same across the board for everyone.

the main cause of acne is overproduction of sebum which cloges your pores and becomes a breeding ground for p.acnes bacteria.

But some people can cure it by getting antibiotics from a dermatologist if they have the bacteria. Others improve with diet changes (less fatty foods), more hydration, oral contraceptives, and pregnancy

Thanks GYH, because I have what they call adult acne, never had problems with my skin before, but now I do, and it's only my face and chest.

I guess I will be going to a spa after all.

Good drop, I will be going there today, because nothing I have tried works, and I can tell my skin is dry, but I have used even stuff from the dermatologist and that hasn't work. So hopefully this will work.

But I have being using Cetaphil Moisturizing Creme on everywhere but my face and chest, because it's leaves what feels like a residue on my face.
