My next acne ridding expiriment...lol..

Submitted by lindsay

I've tried so much stuff to cure my acne ( home and herbal remedies) everything but the derm. SO.. I went to the natural foods store and this is what she suggested. so far so good.

I am lactose intolerant so she said stay away from dairy for 2 reasons. Intestinal. and for my face. I did this and in about 3 weeks I notice a difference.Â

Next step... water. drink a lot of it. I have a 20 oz bottle that i refill 3x daily...so far so good. I have more energy too, lol. Only bad thing is peeing at 4am,lol.

Vitamins. A multi-vitamin with A,C,B12, B4..magnesium, E, selenium are a must. I guess vit A,C,E help with skin cell renewal and turnover. Just started them yesterday.. i'll update with that.Â

Green tea has tons of anti oxidants and i supposed to be great for healthy complexions. ( CAFFEINE FREE) ..caffeine might cause acne. i try to drink 1 cup in the morning and end up drinking about 2 before bed. with sugar and NO milk.

I wash my face in the morning with a panoxly10 bar with a wash cloth and use Olay Complete All day moisture lotion ( it has vit E and C, too) and use Doctor Burt's herbal blemish stick with tea tree oil as a spot treatment.Â
Try not to cake on the makeup .. I know I sometimes feel like I have too. At night I do the same thing.. but if my face feels dry ( that panoxly bar will dry out skin) then I'll skip that step and just use a wash cloth with water.

Also wash your makeup brushes regularly, pillow cases...anything that bacteria can get on and then touches your face. neosporin works good too. I know this i long... but so far it's working. My skin tone is much more even and is getting a glow.. plus in 3 days no NEW breakouts so far. I hope this works for u too.. i know a lot of the other tips didnt..lol.

If excess oil (sebum) seems to be a component, change your pillow case every night. The oil that accumulates from your hair and face can be redeposited, causing clogged pores.
