What is the best natural acne remedy that you have tried?
Currently I hаνе acne аll over mу face, аnd I аm sick οf іt. Once school gets out іn Mау, I thіnk I'm going tο gеt οn Acutane, bυt until thеn, I wаѕ wondering іf anyone сουld recommend a natural acne remedy thаt wουld work fοr mу situation. Thanks.
I used Ivory soap (99% pure) and warm water, washed my face gently with my hands, not a cloth. Then I splashed my face with warm water five times, then cooler water 3 times then cold water twice. I patted my face, not rubbed dry.
Then, I would apply Noxema face cream only to my blemishes. Just a dot on each and let it disappear, don't rub. My face cleared up in about 30 days with this, and I only had an occasional blemish throughout high school after that because I continued this regime twice daily. First thing in the morning, and last thing at night.
Try witch hazel. You can buy it at Walgreens or any other pharmacy department (even Target or Walmart). It's a liquid and it'll be next to rubbing alcohol and peroxide. It'll be two or three dollars for an entire bottle. You apply it with a cotton pad. Another option is to use bar soap–safe guard plain white soap. This was recommended to two people I know by two different dermatologists.
Other than good cleaning and hygiene, "natural" remedies don't work. Try cleaning twice daily with a mild dermatologist recommended cleanser. Pat you face lightly dry to avoid irritation. This will help a bit, but if you are bad enough to go on Acutane, I doubt you will get the results you desire until you take Acutane.
The best thing I have found for acne is washing my face twice a day with Johnsons baby shampoo. This removes the excess oil from my skin without drying it out or irritating it. At 42 years old I have tried all the over the counter and prescription remedies.
dude the natural stuff does not work at all… that stuff is for people who get like one pimple a week
you need to do the basic three : cleanse, tone and moisturize. simply, use
- Oxy facial foam to cleanse
-witch hazel/rose water to tone
- aloe vera jelly to moisturize (they sell it cheap at drugstores).
also, every 3 days use a clay mask, it works to absorb oil.
Okay, first off let me tell you i've been a great acne sufferer for a long time until I've switch to "natural". It works if you can figure out whats wrong with your body in the first place. First off, I've been on alot of prescribed anti-acne meds. This screws your body systems majorly. I stopped taking those, and starting taking Probiotics to rejuvinate my killed intestinal flora from antibiotics. Then I did an internal intestinal cleanse. Cleared up some, but not entirely. Started to drink 6 cups of Rooibos/Honeybush/Pu erh tea a day. WOW. Tea does wonders. But I had oily skin too. I got rid of that by balancing my intake of Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids. Mainly just taking 6 pills of Salmon Oil supplements. It's different for everyone. But let me tell you, Accutane isn't all that it's cracked up to be. I've used it before, but it causes more harm then good, and you have to be on it forever for it to keep working.
raw unpasteurized apple cider vinegar
to open the pores and loosen dirt and grease from your face turn off the heat from a pan of distilled water, add 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar to a quart of the hot water. drape a towel over the pan and your head to steam clean your pores. take a cotton ball, dip in vinegar and pat over skin to remove loosened dirt. repeat 2 more times. then spray or dab on chilled vinegar and equal part of distilled water to close your pores and tone your skin. do twice weekly, also can use the chilled vinegar water as a toner 2 times daily.

raw unpasteurized apple cider vinegar
use this apple cider vinegar for rejuvenating results. first, wash the skin in warm water, no soap. next, apply a wrung out hot water soaked cloth to the face for 3 minutes, then remove. soak thin cloth in warm vinegar water 2 tbsp per cup of water and again apply to face. cover the vinegar soaked cloth with a towel wrung out in hot water, relax and lie down for 10 minutes or more, if possible with feet elevated above head. remove both cloths and gently rub skin upwards with towel or small loofah face pad. this rub removes the hundreds of dry skin scales. you can repeat this weekly or as needed. your skin will look youthful and beautiful..
i also drink the vinegar, 1-2 tablespoons in water with honey in the morning..and i use the vinegar water as a toner 2 times daily..
good luck
