bowel cleansing and Liver Flushing are cheap..and will get rid of your acne....

check out those 2 forums for the recipes...

also... In the morning drink warm water with lemon juice... that will really help....

cut out flour Sugar and dairy from your diet...and eat more veggies and salads..... get some hemp or flax seed oil... that will help too....(2 tbls. a day)

I think it is awesome that you are spending your lunch money to help your skin... I mean it isnt awesome that you dont get lunch...but it is really cool that you are doing something natural to help yourself!

What city do you live in?
If you live in toronto..... I can hook you up with stuff that I dont use any more...(becaue cleansing made me pretty much Acne free!!)

The Liver Flush and stuff is cheap...may you could get a job for one day a week after school for some extra cash...

It is so good that you are doing this now...because it would only escalate into larger problems as you grow up...

I will do my best to help you in anyway possible....

Welcome To Curezone!!!

So true, liver and bowel cleansing will help greatly and you can find tons of information on both at this site.

Also, here's a recommendation I also found on this board that works well if you can afford it: www.zenmed.com

If that's no an option right now, the former suggestions are right on the money. Good luck!

Hi,
There is a program that you can purchase online that gives you step by step instructions on how to clear up your acne. Go to:www.acnecured.com This program works and since it has cleared my skin I know a half dozen other people who I have refered the site to and it worked for them as well. Best of luck to you and all you do in your life! Karla

Young man i'de like to give you some advice. I'm 25 years old and i've had Acne since around your age. For a long time I just did the normal things where i'de buy some oxy products or whatever. But 3 years ago I realized this isnt going away I need to try everything out there and I did. To make a long story short I've been working on a routine that will keep your pores clean. My routine was based upon the principals of this guys post but I believe he has nailed it. Follow this routine to the letter.

I feel your pain, learn from us veterans.

HI,
I feel your pain and would love to help you. I don't think everything works for every one. I've tried so many different things over the past 20 years ( you name it I tried it!) I spent a lot of money...wish I could get that back now! Finally a few years ago I accidently came across a web site called www.no-acne.com. I read everything it made so much sense, all natural face scrub...natural face soap and natural moisturizer. A big 16 oz. bottle of the scrub ( which is all I ordered the first time) only cost 18.00. You only use a small amount, maybe the size of a nickel once a day so it last for months (for me it lasted for 6 months!). Needless to say it cleared up my face and back...so I got my four teenagers on it...worked for them too!! We all still use the scrub because it works for us.
Since we also use the bar of finishing soap for in the morning...scrub at nite...and the moisturizer. they really are great products...cheap and long lasting. I can't say if it will work for you or not but it does'nt hurt to try.
Also if it doesn't work you can get a refund..even after a year!!! No questions asked. I got a lot of my friends and their kids on this product and it has helped all of them.
Good luck!!

Hello :) You're in a tough position, I know. Your Acne may very well have a lot to do with hormones (since you're at that age). I'm sure you feel frusterated when you feel there's a lack of concern over your problem from your mother/parents but they may see it as a "normal" teenage problem. I'm sure they really do feel there is a lack of money to deal with this issue as well. Fortunately, you may in the long run be better off having not seen a dermatologist. I'm not saying that dermatologist don't know a lot about skin diseases/conditions, I am just saying that most (not all) dermatologists are busy and have no way of knowing what causes YOUR acne. Everyone is different, and dermatologist pretty much all do the same things. They will prescribe you Retin-A or Antibiotics (or both) and probably tell you to buy some Cetaphil or other basic drug-store face wash and wash twice a day, yadda yadda yadda. They may even suggest getting on a low-dose birth control to balance out your hormones and menstral cycle. Every once-in-awhile Antibiotics will work but usually it is only a temporary fix and many times the Acne comes back with a vengeance. Retinoids (Vit A) in the form of Retin-A, Differin, or Avita may be prescribed as well. These can work miracles for some people. If they did nothing they wouldn't be used so often but if you ever use Retin-A start with a low strength (like .025%) and start using every other night for a week and then move to every night under a light moisturizer. Retinoids can have some side-effects such as slight burning/sensitivity, redness, peeling, dryness, and photo-sensitivity (making your skin more sensitive to the sun) so don't use it during the day. (I have found some for sale on the internet even though it is prescription only. Not promising this will fix everything, just letting you know that this is probably what a derm would prescribe. However, if you have very inflammed Acne - if your face is already sensitive and red - retinoids may not be the best thing for you) As far as Antibiotics , now that I know better, I try to avoid taking them unless absolutely necessary as they lower your natural immune system because they build up a temporary "fake" immune system and while they are killing off bad bacteria in your body, they are also killing off good bacteria. If there is a natural store or vitamin store near where you live, or if there is a small natural section in your neighborhood grocery store, buy a small bottle of Organic Apple Cider Vinegar. A common brand that is good is called BRAGG. The smallest bottle should be fairly cheap (under 5 bucks). If you don't keep any purified water in your house, buy a bottle of distilled water (also really cheap). Buy a bad of Real Cotton Balls (make sure it says Pure Cotton so they are not synthetic). Find the cheapest bottle of aspirin that you can (you want aspirin that is not coated or is lightly coated). If you are allergic or sensitive to taking aspirin - Do Not do this!! Everything I have listed you should be able to purchase for around 12 dollars. This should all last you a really long time as well. These items will make you a toner and a mask. Do not wash your face with soap. Use a face cleanser. Use one that does not have added fragrance or color. If you do not have any at home or cannot afford a higher-quality (like Zenmed or similar treatment cleanser), then you may have to buy something from the drug store so just get something simple like Cetaphil gentle wash or Purpose. Try to find something non-drying as well. You are going to wash your face with cleanser ONCE a day. Yep. Only once. At night, before bed. If you wear make-up, at night wash your face once briefly (Use hands only and don't scrub too hard) with cleanser to get the make-up off. Rinse, and then wash a second time to really clean the face. You can either use the same cleanser for both washes or use a creamier cleanser the first time to emulsify the make-up, then rinse and use another cleanser for the main wash. Rinse WELL and pat dry. Find a little bottle or something (make sure it's clean) to mix 1/3rd Apple Cider Vinegar and 2/3rds distilled water. This is your toner. If you happen to have pure Witch Hazel in your house, you can add a little of that too. Toner is used after cleansing and before moisturizing. Use a little of this mixture on a cotton ball and wipe entire face, neck, chest, whatever. This will not only remove any soap residue/dirt but it will bring your skin back to a proper PH, skin should be a little on the acid side of the scale, about 5.5 Not only is the Cider Vinegar acidic, which helps bring back the PH of the skin and helps fight bacteria, but it naturally contains many important vitamins and minerals. (It is good to drink it as well if you can stomach the taste - mix about 2 tablespoons with about 6 oz. of water and a little honey and it's great for ya! Don't drink it alone as it will be too acidic for your stomach.)
For a weekly mask, get a small glass, put in 2 aspirin tablets, and pour in about 5 drops of Apple Cider Vinegar and about 5-10 drops distilled water. The aspirin should start disolving. After a minute it should be a runny mixture with very small aspirin granules. The smell will be strong and may irritate the eyes so be careful. Spread this over your face, it may burn or sting a little. If it stings too badly just rinse it off right away. If you feel okay, leave this on for 10 minutes and then rinse under slightly warm water. First, get it wet and VERY gently rub around with your fingertips (this is also a scrub) but rub like your are cleaning a butterfly wing. Really. After you do this for about 30 seconds, rinse with slightly warm water and pat dry. Your skin will probably be splotchy red for about 5-10 minutes after you do this. Also, whenever you wash your face, do NOT use hot water. Use slightly warm water, you'll get used to it. Do your best not to pick, I know it's hard. If you really need to, do it right after a shower when your skin is softer and your hands are clean. Get a soft tissue and gently press around the blemish. Tone afterward. Using figernails and squeezing too hard will cause scarring. In the mornings, just splash face with lukewarm water, pat dry, then use the toner. No need to wash with cleanser. Then apply your sun protection or whatever you use. There is a natural oil you could probably get away with using on your face. It's called Emu Oil and it does not clog pores, and it has natural anti-bacterial properties. This may be a good alternative to a moisturizer for you. Just look up pure Emu oil on the internet and you'll find many brands. If you can, get some Zinc as well (take it as directed on bottle -no more). Good luck to you! Keep us updated :)
