I am fed up with 100s or 1000s of people online who are trying to sell you that miracle acne treatment, usually contained within an e-book, that will finally clear your acne in 3 days or less, but first you have to give me $49.99 for the information. O ye and I have never tried the product or suffered from acne but I'm looking for a fast buck from desperate acne sufferers.
Now obviously they do not tell you the last part, because I'm sure that would hurt there conversions, but I think you can all see where I am coming from and it really p****s me off as someone who went through years of pain to clear my acne, spending cash left, right and center only to find that the so called "miracle" piece of information that someone promised 100% would clear my acne turned out to be all fluff with no substance, with the worst part of all being the sickening feeling that you have to start again and look for the next so called "miracle" e-book or product that promises that it will clear your acne if you just buy it and if you don't you will forever regret it.
The Real Truth About Acne
Now for the part I'm sure none of you will want to hear. If you cant face the hard truth please hit the backspace now, otherwise get ready to learn something that I'm sure deep down inside you already know but are to scared to admit it. Here it is - There is
no miracle cure for acne, there is no miracle e-book, acne facial cleanser or spot treatment that will clear acne, the only way your going clear acne and keep it from returning is by finding out what the root cause of your acne is, what external products work for
you, and then finding the best way to help fix the root cause or causes in most cases.
Anyway here's the deal, I am going to list every natural treatment, book and DVD that I used to help me on my path to being acne free to help you hopefully clear yours to. This post will be extremly long but hopefully if you can reach the end you will leave here with a much better understanding of acne and what natural acne treatments you can use for not only clear skin but much better long term all round health and well-being.
Natural Hormonal Acne Treatments That Work
Everyone knows that hormones have a massive part to play in the cause of acne, and when you go through the years of adolescence this is unavoidable. But if you think there is nothing you can do about it that is not 100% correct. You cannot stop the hormones becoming unbalanced because it is a natural process the body goes through when you are transitioning from a boy to an adult, but there are a few things you can do to help keep the body in the best balance possible. What I did that worked extremely well is yoga.
1.
Yoga - When looking for for something to help balance hormones there is nothing better than yoga. In India it is even prescribed for certain problems or illnesses. Yoga works by doing postures that will help stimulate and balance the endocrine function. When you do these postures you are pressurizing and depressurizing specific glands. The hormonal balance comes from subtle compression and decompression's of the glands that regulate secretions bringing the body back homeostatic regulation. There are many yoga classes that you can join if you are interested in learning some yoga postures, or alternatively you can use at home DVDs and books.
These are my personal recommendations:
Yoga Therapy Prescriptions - 60 Health Restorative Sequences ~ Laura Hawes
- DVD
Yoga For Beginners
- DVD
Yoga as Medicine: The Yogic Prescription for Health and Healing
- Book
Herbal Acne Treatments That Work
If you are fed up with Western medication that only works to mask the symptoms why not try herbs that have been used effectively for 1000s of years to treat disease. There are many herbs that can help balance hormones but what works for one person may not work for the next, this is why you need to experiment until you find one that works for you.
Here's what works for me:
Triple Leaf Tea, Tea Bags, Detox, 1.4-Ounce Bags, 20-Count Boxes (Pack of 6)
Health Guard Herbal Acne Treatment
NOW Foods Organic Nettle Leaf Tea
Navitas Naturals Organic Raw Maca Powder
Natural Acne Scar Treatments That Work
When my acne started to clear day by day I started to realize red marks left were the inflamed acne used to be. After some research I soon discovered that these were not true ance scars but post inflammatory hyperpigmentation marks, which is what most acne suffers also have. The good news is because PHI is not true scaring it will clear naturally over time, the bad news is this can take up to 24 months. For me this is far to long so I decided to find best natural acne scar treatments that work to speed up the healing process.
Here is what I found to be most effective:
Aztec Secret - Indian Healing Clay, 1 lb clay
-
East Cape New Zealand Manuka Honey Active UMF 18+
-
Homemade Acne Treatments That Work
Acne treatments that you make from items that you find in your cupboard can be as effective, if not more effective than most over the counter and prescribed acne treatments. Another bonus of using homemade ance treatments over over the counter and prescribed is the fact you are much less likely to get any long term side effects.
1.
Oatmeal Mask - To make an oatmeal mask boil some oatmeal like you would if you were going to eat it (don't eat it), leave it cool and then apply over the entire face, leave on for at least 15 minutes. Oatmeal works because it is an astringent, which means it will draw out impurities from within the pores.
