12 Simple Remedies For Acne.

      Acne is a Skin Disease that is common among teenagers. Adults have Acne also but generally it is not as bad as what the younger generation may suffer from it. I had Acne really bad for about seven years and I had it under control before I turned 18 years old. I had very oily skin and I suffered from several shin diseases pretty much all the same time. Those were Boils all over the body, Impetigo, Hives and puss pockets forming all over the body and my ear lobes. The Acne was all over my face, my neck, my chest and back. I was an ugly mess for a long time. I had only a few friends and the girls wanted nothing to do with me. Those were lonely years and my two best friends was my mother and a dog who couldn't care how I looked. When it was all over, I had scares or little pits all over my face. As I got older the scares somewhat disappeared. After 20 years old up to the age that I am now, my skin has been very clear. Thank goodness no more pimples. I do still get Boils maybe one or two of them every spring but that is all.
      My Mom took me to several different Doctors but none of their Drugs would help me. When I turned 16 years old my Mom took me to a German Doctor who put me on a special diet. He believed that a lot of the foods I was eating were reacting negatively on my body. He said those foods were poisonous to me. I was to eat no sugar but I could have Honey or artificial sweeteners. I could not eat any oily or greasy foods. I could not eat ice cream, cheese, cottage cheese, peanut butter or any form of chocolate. I could eat all the fruits and vegetables that I wanted and in the way of meats I could only eat beef, chicken, turkey and fish. I could also eat all the dried fruits that I wanted. After 6 months my skin everywhere became all clear. The pimples were all gone. I stayed on this diet for a whole year and the Acne never reappeared, except for a pimple every once in a while.
      If you are suffering from Acne right now there are some Remedies that can be very helpful but none of these will clear up your skin over night. But you could see some excellent results in two or more weeks. Hang in there and we will see what can be done.

 1. You could try the diet that is listed up above. Hey it really worked for me and I had one of the worst cases of Acne that the Doctors had ever seen, and I do not have Acne anymore.

 2. After you have washed your face with soap and water, break open an egg and separates the yolk from the egg white. Dip a cotton ball into the egg white and rub this on your pimples and blackheads. This will draw the oils from off your face and after a time it will give you a clear complexion..

3. Prepared Oatmeal will get rid of Acne. When the cooked Oatmeal has cooled, spread this onto the Acne affected areas and then cover the Oatmeal with a damp wash cloth for 15 minutes, then wash all the Oatmeal off. Do this once a day. Doing this twice a day is even better. After about 3 weeks the Acne will be gone. If you would like to double the Oatmeal effect on your Acne then add a level teaspoon of Baking Soda to the Oatmeal mixture. then sprinkle some cinnamon into the mixture. Both of these will get rid of Acne and make the Remedy smell good.

 4. Pure Lemon Juice will help Acne to heal. But when lemons are not available then use household Apple Cider Vinegar. If you can use both of these then that would even be better. Use a cotton ball and soak it in the vinegar. Then rub it onto each pimple. It will sting at first but after several applications the pimples will all disappear.

 5. Many soaps are hard on sensitive skin and it is especially bad on those who have Acne. One of the best soaps to use on sensitive skin is " Fels-Naptha " soap. This soap does wonders to all kinds of skin blemishes. In fact it is good for your whole body and you will not have itches after a bath. This soap is by far less irritating to your skin then all other soaps.

 6. Take " Zinc Pills " for Acne. Take only 15 mg a day. Do not take any more unless your Doctor OK's it. Zinc Pills will also control body odor so that you will not stink.

 7. A humid climate will generally cause Acne to flair up on your face, neck, back or chest. When I had Acne I was living in Ohio but every time we came out west to one of the drier states, my Acne would clear up in about two weeks. After we had returned to Ohio the Acne would reappear. Any dry area in the world would greatly help in clearing up the Acne. If you are one who already lives in a dry climate and you still have Acne, then you need to change your diet or try one of the other Remedies that are listed.

 8. The oils and dry skin will come off your face at night onto your pillow. So wash the pillow case two or three times a week while you are trying to get rid of your Acne.

 9. There is an advertisement on TV called " Bath Fitter " where they come into your home and change your ugly bathroom into a new and nice looking bathroom. At the end of the advertisement there is a lady sitting on the couch wearing a green face mask. This is called an Avocado Face Mask. This is great for skin blemishes, Acne or making your face soft and beautiful. Buy an Avocado and cut it in half. Throw away the seed and scrape out all the green flesh putting it into a bowl. Mash it up with a fork and add a tablespoon of Honey, a half teaspoon of Baking Soda and the juice from a half of a lemon. Stir this into a paste and put this onto the shin where it is needed. Let it sit for twenty minutes and then rinse it off. After doing this everyday your skin will begin to look lovely in a few days and the Acne will be gone in two or three weeks.

10. A lot of people grow the Aloe Vera plant in their house. The juice that oozes out of the leaves, this can be rubbed onto pimples, sores and burns. It is very soothing to all three of these and it will cause them all to heal and be gone in a few days.

11. Another mixture that can be used for pimples and most houses have this is to mix one teaspoon of powdered Nutmeg to one teaspoon of Honey. Rub this mixture on your pimples and let it sit for 20 minutes. Then rinse it off. A few drops of real lemon juice could be added also to this mixture.

12. This mixture can also be used as a face wash. It will get rid of pimples and other sores causing them to heal up so much faster. Mix one teaspoon of Epsom Salt and 3 drops of Iodine to a half cup of water. Boil this solution and after it has cooled dip a cotton ball into it and clean out all the pores on your face.

      My son had a bad case of Acne and while visiting the Chiropractor getting an adjustment, the Chiropractor told him to take Cayenne Pepper in capsules, 500 mg. He was to take one after lunch and a second one after supper. He followed the instructions and in 6 weeks his Acne was gone. This is the number Remedy in getting rid of stomach ulcers.

      Also in helping me to clear up my Acne my Mom bought some cleaning lotions from a company called " Fashion-Two-Twenty " who's home office was in Ohio only about 30 miles from where we lived. This was very helpful in removing the oils off the face and it helped to control the Acne. Other lotions and salves can be bought at the store that were made for getting rid of Acne. The store manager will help you into finding the right one that will help you with your Acne problems, and most of these salves will do a fairly good job. If you are not happy with one of them then try another one. There are many to pick from for controlling Acne. You could even try a bottle of Organic Vinegar. This is great for Acne also.

      If you are suffering from Acne, do not fear. There is plenty of help and lots of Remedies. I do believe that the best one is to change your diet and stay away from the sugars, the oily and greasy foods, the cheese and peanut butter and leave all that yummy chocolate alone until that Acne is gone. I mean really Gone!!!!
