THE Natural Acne Cure

Like you, I used to suffer from acne.  I didn't know there was a simple and natural acne cure out there, so I used a lot of commercial products on my problem skin.

It was exhausting to search for the one product that was finally going to clear up my zits, because none of them did the job.  There are thousands of products out there, and in my opinion, very few of them actually work!

I tried ProActiv, Clean & Clear, Murad, Neutrogena and just about every other acne product out there.  I even tried this ridiculous product in a tiny tube made of liquid oxygen.  It took about 5 minutes to roll that tiny thing over my face 3 times a day and it didn't do a thing for my acne! 

None of these products seemed to make much of a difference.  Some even made my acne worse than it was to start with.  I became sick of worrying about my skin.  It was truly depressing.

Luckily, I discovered a natural acne cure.  I began doing a lot of research and talking to herbalists, doctors, endocrinologist, and even health food store clerks!  None of their advice was the perfect cure, but I managed to learn something from each of them that helped me clear my skin through trial and error. 

The first step in clearing your acne is to stop eating so much sugar!  Yes, you're going to have to try as hard as you can to give up your favorite sweets, because they are messing with your hormones.  If you eat a lot of packaged foods, you're also leaving a ton of toxins and preservatives in your body.  These will clog and infect your pores, so stay far away from them.

The next step of our natural acne cure is to detoxify your body.  Start off this process by drinking a lot of water.  Don't dismiss this detail as being unimportant, because I know from experience that it makes a huge difference to your appearance.  See our article "How To Get Rid Of Acne With Salt & Water" for more details on detoxing.

You're also going to have to make a few changes in the way you care for your skin.  I see a lot of people getting this step wrong.  They think that oil causes acne and keeping oil off your face will help with problem skin.  This is wrong, and potentially worsens your existing acne. 

Starting now, I want you to wash your face only in the evening to remove surface dirt, oils and makeup.  Use a gentle, natural cleanser or soap, like Dr. Bronner's castile soap.

After washing you may use witch hazel as an astringent.  Apply a light coat of natural oil (emu oil or jojoba oil work well) to your skin and get a good night's sleep.

When you wake up in the morning, just rinse your face with tepid water.  I know it might feel weird to you and will take some getting used to, but it just makes sense to skip the wash.  After all, it's not like you were sleeping on a pillow made of mud, right?

Making these small changes to your diet and skin care routine are almost guaranteed to be your natural acne cure.  Put the effort in now, and you'll be seeing clearer, more beautiful skin in the next week or two.
