Anyone have any natural ways to cure acne? I just started using Dr Bronners for face wash and I've seen slight improvement, but I want to know some other good ways to cure it.
I've been doing more of that, too. I'm trying to phase into vegetarian because that helped a lot for the month I went without meat. I've always been pretty active with running so that shouldnt be a problem.
I don't have acne, but witchhazel is really good for your skin. I use Burt Bees blemish stick and it really seems to work well. It smells strong until it dries ( a few seconds) but it's not a bad smell. Diet and exercise will also help.
Iv'e tried many different things over the years, it all depends what type of acne you have. If it's hormonal I doubt very much will help it other than time. In my case it's too much oil being produced from the skin thats causing it. Ive tried everything below, but because I tried most of them at the same time its hard to tell which really worked and which didnt, but by doing everything below there was a definite improvement. Go vegan, or at least ovo vegetarian! Dont touch your face, unless you have washed your hands first. Change your pillow cases often. Change to a proper face wash (ok not natural). A soap free one. Wash face morning and night. Keep hair away from face. Like nynysuts says, loads of water!
Yeah, I was thinking like red spots and not just blackheads and blemishes that would be caused by too much sebum
over at a long hair board, they are discussing urine (your own and fresh, and mere drops) as an option. Since urea is a superwetting ingredient, it could work to break into the stubborn/resistant spots. I'm still skeptical, but the chemistry sounds plausible...and it's free to try. Yes, you rinse afterward.
