Blue MD Acne Treatment Blue Light Review

September 8, 2009
By

Tweet I’ve talked a lot about using blue light acne treatments, with good reason.  If you buy the right in home system, you can experience dramatic results from this interesting and unique therapy, that just so also happens to be drug free and all natural.  So, it’s definitely worth talking about.  Don’t forget though, even if you’re getting blue light acne treatments at home or at a dermatologist’s office, you still also need to use the right topical products for caring for acne prone skin, so your cleansers and other topically applied skin care is still vital as well....

Kangen Water for Acne?

July 31, 2009
By

Tweet I know what you’re probably asking yourself.  What the HECK is Kangen water?  Well, I had never heard of it before either, until my boss at work told me about it.  She had a representative from the Kangen water company come to her house to do a demonstration and show her and her husband why this drinking water was healthful and far superior to normal drinking water or even distilled or purified water.  For the price tag on the purifiers and ionizers that make the water, believe me, it should do something special.  That being said, what she...

Blue Light Therapy Doesn’t Work for Everyone?

February 5, 2009
By

Tweet There’s been a lot of talk about how blue light acne therapy in a dermatologist’s office has worked wonders for those with what they think are hopeless cases of acne.  People who have tried everything under the sun including antibiotics, expensive topical treatments prescribed by dermatologists, and other acne drugs that have not worked, have been able to find degrees of success with blue light therapy. However, as with just about every other single acne treatment under the sun, including the herbal acne remedies that I tend to talk about so much, blue light therapy for acne does...

Have You Looked Into Acne Free in Three Days Yet?

January 22, 2009
By

Tweet I definitely advocate that anyone who has acne look in to buying, or at least looking at and considering, the inexpensive ebook that tells people how to get rid of acne in three days, and for life, by following a certain prescribed regimen of lifestyle combined with some dietary restrictions as well.  I like this program because it was written by a guy who actually did just what the name of his book is – he got rid of his acne, essentially, in three days with his special program. I like this program and book because it does...

January 19, 2009
By

Tweet Ok, I finally had to replace my Beurer soft light restorative skin care laser that I really liked because i dropped it and it broke.  I ended up settling on a new one, because of course I had to try something that looked newer and better, ’cause that’s part of my job, to report these things to my dear readers , so I settled on the Starlite soft red light laser for skin rejuvenation. I settled on teh Starlite skin laser because it is advertised as being a better value and more effective than “other leading home lasers”...

Sugar and Lemon Facial Scrub

June 8, 2008
By

Tweet I was reading about a scrub that is used by Greek women (at least it was a trend that was started by Greek women as I understand it), and wondered if it might be more beneficial or harmful to people with acne prone skin or acne rosacea or rosacea prone skin, and thought that it could possibly be good for any skin type, as long as it is not used during periods of flareups for either sufferer, because any “treatment” may be irritating when one’s skin is already suffering an inflammation of some sort. The simple idea that sugar...

Infrared Sauna and Acne Clearing Experiment Begins

March 29, 2008
By

Tweet We just recently purchased an infrared sauna, and by recently I mean literally 4 days ago.  Since purchasing and setting the sauna up, we have used it every single night.  It’s primary purpose is for relaxation and muscle and joint pain relief, since both of us suffer from back and neck pain, and have desk jobs that just make it worse during the day.  However, after extensive reading on infrared saunas, I discovered that many people said nightly or frequent sauna bathing helped their skin problems clear up immensely, one of those skin conditions being our favorite friend,...

Master Cleanse and Acne

December 5, 2007
By

Tweet I have an interesting story about my experience (very recent) with the Master Cleanse detox diet program and my skin.  First of all, I do have to tell you upfront, I only made it on this very strict diet regime for two and a half days.  Second, I have to tell you, I think it did improve my skin in just those two days I was on it.  You may have heard of the Master Cleanse diet system which is known for being extremely hard to follow, as well as being beneficial to those who can complete the...
