How do you get rid of acne without going to a doctor??????

I have had acne for some years now and i've just dealt with it. Then on special occasions my sister would cover it up. Right now money is kind of tight and my acne is really starting to affect me and my mood. When i see those red bumps all over it just makes me feel so insecure. I really need help on how to get rid of it. Hopefully fast as in week - month. My acne isn't bad just light to moderate. Thanks guys !!!!!!!!!!!How do you get rid of acne without going to a doctor??????
First of all, no one has flawless skin. Some people have it better than others, but thats just genes and stuff. Go to www.freewebs .com/reelbeauty11 for skin and beauty tips. I know its for young girls, but it works for anyone!





I know some people who have tried ProActive and it worked, but I also know some others who have tried it and it made it worse :( I know some who have put rubbing alchol on their skin or peroxcide to dry up the pimples. It also kills bacteria :) . Also, try going to a dermotoligist, or ask your regular doctor. Often times the regular doctor, who knows more about your med. history and whatnot can help you more than a dermatologist.





are you a vegetarian? That might have something to do with it. Its worth checking into.





Try dabbing toothpaste or honey on your zits before you go to bed - works wonders.





Overall, remember that beauty counts more on the inside than on the outside, and your true friends will love you for you, and not your skin.





Oh, and try a different kind of foundation, if you wear it. Try to use a kind with lots of water in it. It looks great and doesn't clog pores half as bad. And check your habits - do you prop your chin up a lot with your hands? That might cause the acne as well. Look for the cause, as well as the cure.How do you get rid of acne without going to a doctor??????
I've recently tried and like the new Clearacil, 3 step product, that you can get at any walmart, target, or anystore like that. I have also heard if you put a little dab of honey, and cover with a bandaid, since honey is a natural disinfectant.
Try ProActive, it has done wonders for my sons complection!
heat! toss a towel in hot water and lay over your acne heat kills acne,,,but dont burn yourself
moisturizers, over the counter stuff.... masks.... one thing tho: DO NOT PUT 2 MUCH CHEMICALS ON UR FACE. it makes it worse.
Try PeterThomasRoth acne wash with 10% glycolic acid
one thing i will tell u now is dont use clearasil ultra. it doesnt work at all. it actually made the problem worse. use neutragina (srry if i spelled it wrong) liquid soap morning and night. also get their acne pads. if it doesnt work then i would see a doctor even though ur tight on money. good luck and i hope i helped
Caucasian Kefir, a natural, God given, pro-biotic drink (which you ferment yourself with the Kefir culture grain in milk, so it's dirt cheap!!) to fix skin problems and many many more ailments from the inside out. It will treat acne much faster than Roaccutane, and has no known side effects, you can't beat nature!!! Search the internet for ';Caucasian Kefir.'; Some people give it away free if you can't find it free search at ebay or other online sites that sell it.





Here is a testimonial Posted: Sat Dec 01, 2007 5:03 am Post subject: Acne gone in three weeks, wow!!


I'm 49 years old and developed acne in my early 40's. My son had acne as a teenager and went on roaccutane (horrific drug). It cured his acne, but I certainly wouldn't recommend it. My daughter had serious cystic acne and wanted to go on roaccutane as well recently, which I was very much against, but she is 20 years old and has suffered for years. It has scarred her back, chest, her upper arms, and of course her face. I couldn't understand why we had this problem, because we have the perfect diet (I thought). I was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer five years ago and we did a drastic change of diet, as in extreme healthy. Also, there is no history of skin disorders on either side of the family. The skin problems, however, persisted. Four months ago I started making kefir with kefir grains that I bought on the internet... if you google you will find several suppliers. Also some people will send them for free. I happened to start taking Udo's oil and fish oil at the same time. It was a coincidence. My skin was clear within three weeks. My daughter had just finished a course of antibiotics for her skin (very much against my wishes as I think that in most cases antibiotics are a waste of time and dangerous to boot), and was clamouring for the roaccutane. I had to persuade her to use the kefir and flax oil/fish oil combination. She's used to me trying out all sorts of combinations over the years.


Finally she gave in and within three weeks (NOT kidding here, it happened so fast, just like for me) she was clear. We drink the kefir and take the oils at the same time.


I looked up 'Kefir Flax oil' in google and came up with Dr. Johanna Budwig, who was a German scientist who claimed to cure cancer with a flaxseed/quark (kefir, cottage cheese...) combination. It sounds far-fetched but actually she was nominated for a noble prize six times. Alot of info on good fats/oils was discovered by her.


On top of clearing our skin beautifully (no lumps, bumps, irritations of any kind... we have great energy.





This has worked for us and I wanted to share it.


Caucasian Kefir cultured milk instructions:


From Barry Hilton who has been using Kefir for many years. Acne and Excema Treatment: Drink half a litre daily; moreover, rub some (36/48 hrs fermented Kefir Cultured Milk) into the affected areas.

(18/24 hrs fermented Kefir Culture Milk).

Here is something you have to follow while you can carry on your normal life along with them.

Don't touch your pimples. It will only worsen the condition.





Keep your hair off the forehead.

Hi.





I have severe acne...and while everything i've tried (creams, dermatologists...everything) doesn't make it go away i've found that a sensitive skin cleanser such as Cetaphil combined with drinking plently of water helps to keep it under control a little bit.
Mix lemon juice, rose water and glycerin in equal quantities. Apply daily before retiring to bed. Eat a lot of green vegetables like spinach, cabbage, beans, peas, lettuce, etc. A salad and fruit should be taken daily. Check out http://useinfo-acne.blogspot.com/ for more useful info.
