Tweet This is an article I wrote about some of the more unusual acne treatments I’ve come across in my research and years as a struggling teen with acne, as well as my later adult years when the net was more of a information highway  Enjoy! I would have given anything to enjoy the pristine complexion that so many of my friends seemed to enjoy when I was a preteen and well into my teen years, and yet the answer remained elusive to me until I was an adult and learned about all of the excellent alternative acne...

Cheap Acne Remedies : Part II
Tweet This is part two of my “Cheap Acne Remedies” article which focuses on control factors in our diet that can dramatically improve our skin and our likelihood of further breakouts, including body acne breakouts – not just the face! So enjoy, and remember to look for the full article soon in other online publications. This is the smaller part so sorry for a such a measly post today, but if you want more of the meat of the article, read the prior post to this entitled Part I. We really can control the food we put in our...
Cheap Acne Remedies : Food! Part 1
Tweet What’s one of the easiest things we can control about our life? Yes – our diet. And granted, it’s not easy to be disciplined, but if you think about it, controlling our diet is a good way to make up for what we may lack in bad “acne genes”. So here is part one of an article I recently wrote about controlling acne through diet. Watch for it to be published in its entirety soon on other online media outlets! Acne remedies are a dime a dozen these days, and some of them like Zenmed’s acne line as...
Olive oil Equals Good Skin, Less Breakouts?
Tweet There have been a lot of correlations made between good skin and omega 3 fatty acids, and I must say that I do believe that this correlation has some merit, at least for my skin personally. When I am eating a good amount of Extra Virgin olive oil (the kind with the most omega 3′s as I understand it), and I’m also really concentrating on limiting the white breads and pastas, I do notice a difference in the suppleness and tone of my skin. I also happen to notice that I am less likely to break out or...
Healthy Skin Smoothie Recipe
Tweet I have to share this healthy recipe, which I believe is an excellent skin health booster, as well as good for your appetite, getting your daily dose of fiber and antioxidants, as well as a healthy helping of protein. I’ve been making these healthy little breakfasts for my boyfriend and I for the past two weeks, every morning, and I swear it’s also helped my skin, besides keeping me full for hours, which is a virtual miracle with my sometimes voracious appetite. It’s got a lot of ingredients at first glance, but trust me, once you start keeping...

There are many home remedies which are natural acne treatments that help keep acne from flaring up and worsening.

Natural Astringents
Tweet First of all, before we get into this discussion of one of my favorite topics, natural skin and natural acne skin care, let’s discuss what exactly an “astringent” is. An astringent is almost like an antiseptic, in that it actually has cleansing properties which lift bacteria out of the skin and even kill some of those nasty germs on the skin’s surface. An astringent, when it comes to skin, also acts as a skin tightener, making the pores tighter and giving a smoother appearance to the skin while helping to deep clean the pores. Astringents are popularly called...
Acne and a Sauna
Tweet I just wrote about the benefits a sauna can have if you have acne. You see, at my gym, they have a sauna. Hardly anyone uses it, but I just happened to turn on the timer before my workout one day so the sauna would be nice and toasty for me for a little post workout relaxation and muscle heating and stretching. My first time in the sauna I noticed that my skin felt really great, almost as if I could “feel” my pores opening in the intense heat and drinking in the steam from the lava rocks,...
Evening Primrose Oil and Skin
Tweet Evening primrose oil, or as it is otherwise known, EPO, is an all natural flower plant that is used for it’s qualities of soothing and healing, internally. It is supposedly very useful for some skin conditions, including eczema which is a dry, scaly and flaky skin condition that is pretty tought to treat. Evening primrose oil has a substance in it called gamma linolenic acid, which is actually a natural compound which is currently an approved natural medicine for the treatment of eczema over in Britain right now. It is suggested that you just take whatever the recommended...
Hydrogen Peroxide : Thumbs Down
Tweet One of the most “exciting” acne skin care tips I thought I’d received when I was a young teen suffering the daily trials and tribulations of having incredibly acne prone skin, was to use the very cheap, plentiful drugstore home remedy for acne, hydrogen peroxide. I was excited because hydrogen peroxide literally only ran about fifty cents a bottle back then (I’m not sure what it runs now – can’t be too much), and also because it was so easily accessible and plentiful, and came in a big, generous bottle that would surely last forever. I was told...
