Fed up with acne?

I'm 20 and have been dealing with acne since I was 14. I've used a number of products. Right now I'm using several acne products: an antibiotic, a night time lotion, two daytime creams that I alternate, and witch hazel twice a day. It seems my face looks pretty good for a while, but then I eventually break out again. Have any adults experinced this? If so, when did yours finally go away? I hope this is just a phase.

Fed up with acne?
Hi There





Here are some real answers on skin conditions. Remedies at the bottom. Cleansing the body of toxins is the key. Especially a colon cleanse! Educate yourself on detoxifyng the blood.





Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman N.D. - "What is your skin trying to tell you? Often the skin is a metaphor for deeper issues and a way for your body to send up a red flag to warn you that all is not well underneath. When our skin is unhealthy it is usually a reflection of the internal state of our bodies, and is often a sign of poor elimination of toxins and waste products. Most of us are embarrassed by skin problems such as rashes, boils or acne, especially in places where others can see our imperfections. The skin is the body's first line of defense against the environment. It has to deal with the effects of weather, sun , cold, heat, dryness, humidity, scrapes, bumps, soaps, detergents, chemicals, perspiration and dirt of all kinds. It is a wonder that our skin stays healthy most of the time! We can help our skin deal with this onslaught by optimizing our general health and by protecting our skin from harsh environmental exposure. Western medicine generally treats skin eruptions with either antibiotics, cortisone, or antifungal preparations. These medicines may alleviate the skin problem temporarily, or occasionally for good, but do not address the source of the problem. Putting a lid on skin symptoms without getting to the root of the imbalance may even result in suppression, that means the imbalance may be driven deeper causing more serious health problems later without ever strengthening the underlying vital force of the person. Fortunately, naturopathic medicine offers a wide vareity of effective treatments for skin problems."





Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman N.D. - "Your skin is a reflection of how well your body is eliminating the toxins that build up on a daily basis. Chronic skin conditions such as acne, eczema and psoriasis stem from a combination of genetic factors, immune stress, dietary deficiencies or sensitivities, and the accumulation of toxins in the body. For our skin to be radiant and clear, it is very important that the other organs of elimination (kidneys, liver, lungs, and colon) are cleansing the body effectively. If not, the skin will be overtaxed, pores will become clogged, and eruptions of one sort or another will result. Here are a number of steps you can take to improve your body's overall elimination wtih specific emphasis on your skin."





Detoxification is a normal body process of eliminating or neutralizing toxins through the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs, lymph and skin. Fasting is the world's most ancient and natural healing mechanism. Fasting triggers a truly wondrous cleansing process that reaches right down to each and every cell and tissue in the body.

Natural Cures





1. Fruits and Vegetables for Acne: Carrot %26amp; spinach, celery %26amp; watercress, grapefruit juices are all useful to combat acne.





2. Unwholesome Foods: Acne, a prevalent problem among teen-aged boys would not be possible in our society if our foods were wholesome. A most sad and disgusting sight is the pus-filled pimples due to inner toxicity --- wastes trying desperately to escape through the face. This condition often turns a gentle face in the blossom of youth into a waste dump of pimples, pus and subsequent pock marks which can be prevented. The tons of acne medications and prescriptions sold annually act only on the effect of the harmful food, and not the cause of the disease, malnutrition. The traditional teenage meal, a grease burger, french fries and a milk shake or cola simply does not provide enough nourishment for anyone, let alone a boy going through puberty to adulthood. Our highly processed foods are devoid of hormones found in fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds. Must do a colon cleanse to rid of all the toxins in the body, which eventually get into the blood and cause acne and all other diseases.





3. Cabbage: Apply a lotion of freshly prepared cabbage juice preceded, if desired, by the application of leaves. The eating of cabbage leaves or juice is also helpful.





4. Lemon Juice: Skin problems such as acne... will often respond to a treatment of lemon juice. For blackheads rub lemon juice over them each night.





5. Black Walnut: Externally, Black Walnut is nearly a miracle worker in cases of ...acne, dandruff, boils, itch, shingles, ringworm--we could go on, but you can see that you can use Black Walnut whenever a skin disorder appears! The tincture is an excellent first-aid remedy for wounds.





Best of health to you





Cheers
Reply:be patient- it's probably just a phase. Be sure to talk with your doctors about anything you try- some med.s could interact with others.
Reply:My boyfriend has had acne issues his whole life...he is 24 now and is definelty emotionally scarred too.





He went through 2 rounds of accutane (if you havent tried this already, it is serious stuff) and looks great.





Its ok and it will clear up eventually...right now, just keep up with your doctor and try different things.
Reply:Eat better. seriously i was the same way until i just stopped drinking sodas and having sweets.





I only wash my face with a scrub and that's it. now my skin is great
Reply:I know I can help you to get rid of your problem, but I don't feel it's proper to solicit business in this venue.





However if you'd like to contact me via email, I will give you further information.
Reply:I am 37 years old and am still waiting to "grow out of it." UGH! I hate when people say that or "eat better!"





Anyway, I went through 2 rounds of accutane. Yes, that is serious stuff. However, I still have flare-ups at my age. When I went through my divorce, I had a big flare-up and decided to try something from the television. I actually purchased Pro-Active. I LOVE IT!!! It truly works. I spent my life trying different pills, creams, ointments, and even occasional tanning. Proactive works the best. When I complain about my acne, people always comment, "You don't have acne." :-) Just try it!





I still get the occasional pimple or black-head, but it is minimal. I have now been using the proactive for over 5 years. One of the best is that I have had no additional scarring, and my face does not itch as it did with many other creams and washes.
Reply:It's prolly just a phase, but if u get really fed up with it, you might be allergic to something, i don't know.
Reply:To tell you the truth, you are putting way too many different products on your skin. It's drying out your skin too much, and causing your skin to produce more sebum (acne oils) and that's what makes you break out again. Putting too many things on your face is going to cause it to break out. Stick with the antibiotic and either the daytime cream or nighttime lotion ( don't use both the lotion and cream, only one!) This should help you a lot.
Reply:I struggled with acne for years and I finally found the solution that works for me. We have been fooled, tricked, deceived, and just plain lied to. It's time that someone put a stop to it, and everyone learn the truth!





Those of us who suffer from acne have usually been given 2 choices and neither of them work:





1. Over the counter remedies such as cleansers, creams, ointments, etc. These things have been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.





2. Go see a doctor and or dermatologist. They will generally prescribe prescription drugs which include topicals and or antibiotics. This, too, has been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.





I found a step-by-step program that cured my acne and it has never come back. It is amazing and doesn’t use any drugs or doctors. The truth is that acne can be cured…if we know the secret the doctors and drug companies don’t want us to know.





There is a great website: http://cure-my-acne.info/3daycure/ that has all the details. I really suggest you check it out and see if it works as well for you as it did for me.
