Do this 3 times a day for up to 3 days and either the outbreak won’t happen at all or it will be very mild and short lived.

You can actually start the treatment anytime even when the outbreak is full blown. You will get immediate relief and it will heal much faster.

If you invest in your health by living a healthy lifestyle, you’ll look great, your skin will glow and you’ll save on fancy skin care products and doctor bills.

Another way to save money is to take care of your teeth. I’ve put quite a bit of information on this site about dental care. It’s based on how I have stopped boneloss, receding gums, brittle teeth, decay and hypersensitivity. For the past 3 years I have only had regular check ups with my dentist – no more gum treatments, root canals, fillings or extractions. More here…

Another great way to save money (and help the environment) is to stop buying bottled water. Get a water filter and enjoy the benefits of pure water on your health. I’ve saved a few old bottles in various sizes – I fill them up and have them with me when I’m out. More here…

Back to skin care… I was using coconut oil mixed with a bit of almond oil. Over time, I noticed my t-zone looking a bit unclear so I’m trying store products bought on sale, of course.

I still use coconut oil to massage around my eyes. It feels great and keeps the wrinkles away, which is just as much about the massage as it is about the oil! The massage technique is from the ‘Complete System of Self Healing: Internal Exercises’ by Stephen T. Chang.

Complete System of Self Healing: Internal Exercises

I do miss my Dermalift, but I feel better when I’m saving these days…

I was worried that I would wrinkle up over night. But I haven’t. A few wrinkles do seem a bit more pronounced, but overall my skin looks great. Mixing coconut oil with almond oil is fantastic for my 50+ skin. It feels supple and even has a dewy look. I mix it in my hand and apply it to my face, neck, arms and hands.

It’s no fuss and very low cost.

When the crunch is over I go back to Dermalift and an antiaging skincare regime, but until then I’m very happy with the results of this completely natural and very inexpensive skin care.

When I applied the Cansema, I really didn’t think anything would happen and was very surprised when the patch turned into a very sore scab. It’s almost 10 days and it’s close to falling off. I’ll post again when it’s all healed.

While I don’t recommend not getting checked by a doctor first, I’m very glad I gave this a try. I had some bad sun exposure as a kid and have always worried a bit about skin cancer. I’m much less worried now!

Dr Ray Peat’s Coconut Oil Article (download)

I knew coconut oil was a very healthy oil to eat, but I couldn’t imagine how much I would like it on my skin. Combined with a healthy diet, supplements and plenty of rest, coconut oil keeps skin healthy. It’s got antioxidant properties and antimicrobial properties to protect skin against sun and other environmental factors.

I now use coconut oil as a body lotion and I’ve just read that you can also use it as a pre-wash hair conditioner. I can’t wait to try it.

I still use Dermalift at night. It is simply the best anti-wrinkle cream I’ve come across.

The Underground Acne Secret – What Causes Your Acne
By Jack Venta

Most acne sufferers don’t realize what causes their acne! I used to suffer from chronic acne, and it wasn’t until I found out about the underground secret acne causing factor that I began to really clear my skin. Today I have perfectly clear skin…

So what is this secret to destroying acne?

Food is a major cause of your acne. Like it or not what you eat every day determines whether you get acne. Eat the wrong foods and you will never clear your skin.

No amount of money spent on cleanser ’systems’ or ‘miracle’ acne pills will stop your acne unless you have an extremely mild form of acne. And if you are reading this article I would bet you have worse acne than that!

So you need to make some changes to your diet IF you want the clear skin you desire. There other factors to why you get acne, but at least 75% of your acne is caused by food. This is a fact that all nutritionists know, but your dermatologist will never tell you (and they probably don’t even know themselves!)

So what changes must you make to clear your acne?

The most important change is avoiding a general type of food called vegetable oil. Vegetable oil causes hormonal inflammation that usually results in the nastier breakouts that you suffer from. That being said, it should be the first food you avoid, starting today!

When I quit consuming vegetable oils like sunflower oil, rapeseed oil and soy bean oil, my skin improved so dramatically that people were commenting on how good my skin looked all of sudden! If you do anything new today to clear up your skin, start cutting out vegetable oil from your diet.

The key thing to understand is that acne is not a disease or illness itself, but merely a reflection of the condition your body is in. It’s a signal that something is wrong with your body. Thus to cure your acne you have to address its cause.

Detailed explanation of the cause of acne is beyond the scope of this article. But in a nutshell your body is out of balance. Improper diet, pollution, chemicals in food, pharmaceutical drugs, etc have exposed your body to more toxins that it can handle.

Step 1 – detoxify

The first step to correct the situation is to help your body to get rid of the toxins that are causing your acne in the first place.

The good thing is that your body does this automatically – once you step out of the way. As a double-whammy benefit your body will also clear your acne. For your body to do its job you have to give it sufficient rest and eliminate all harmful substances from your diet for a period of 3 to 7 days. The most effective ways to do this are fasting or so-called detox-diets.

Step 2 – topical treatment

While detoxing, you can help your body with topical treatments. Your skin is one of the main organs for eliminating toxins from your body. Different topical treatments help to keep the pores in your skin open and toxins to leave your body faster. Topical treatments can also kill the bacteria on your skin that lead to acne.

Try to avoid chemicals that dry your skin and just block the pores even further. Instead, try herbal steam baths or skin brushing. Both are excellent ways to help your skin to expel toxins. Sauna can also help you. To kill the bacteria try some herbal lotions from your health shop. Topical treatments are only complimentary to detoxing. So don’t go overboard here.

Step 3 – towards healthier lifestyle

The last thing you should do is to gradually change your lifestyle towards a healthier one. Detoxing and topical treatments will clear your acne. The purpose of this last step is to keep acne from coming back. You should gradually work to eliminate unhealthy substances from your life. Some examples of things you should avoid are: animal flesh, dairy products, caffeine, alcohol, tobacco and sugar.

It’s important to remember that it takes time to change your lifestyle. So go easy on this one and work to eliminate one substance at a time.

I’m currently taking collagen in the morning and applying Dermalift cream at night along side of my usual anti-oxidant skin care. I’ve got enough for another two weeks and then will only use the Dermalift Cream and resume the HGH releasing supplements that I was taking in the first month.
I’ve experienced no side effects, however, a friend who also tried the products had to stop the collagen because she felt it made her eyes sticky. She has continued with the cream alone and feels it is helping reduce wrinkles.

I feel I’ve had additional benefits from taking the collagen, but then I am older than my friend. If we have less collagen in our skin when we’re 50, then certainly we will have less collagen in our joints, muscles and eyes, too. Since I started the collagen, my frozen shoulder is gone, and my joints and muscles feel good. Not only have I had no problems with my eyes, I feel like they have improved slightly.

I can highly recommend these products from eAntiAging: Colla C, Dermalift and Somato 8. If you’re fifty or over, or even if you’re nearing fifty, it’s worth trying all three. If you’re younger, I suggest the Dermalift Cream.

I’m 30 days into my new skin care regime. To recap: me and a friend bought a 3 month supply of Dermalift (amino acids) and Collagen to see if we could rebuild the collagen in our skin and reduce wrinkles. I also bought a 1 month supply of Somato 8 (an HGH releasing supplement) because I’m 50 and HGH release gets a bit slow at my age. After 2 weeks I reported a noticeable but subtle difference in my skin and also, surprisingly, somewhat clearer eyesight possibly due to the eye being made up of 85% collagen.

So how are we doing after 30 days?

We are both happy with our skin and have noticeably less wrinkles. I’m particularly pleased with the area above and around my lips.

My eyes still feel great and I think there may be another great unexpected benefit to rebuilding collagen. Last August after a month of travelling around the USA and schlepping lots of heavy bags, my right shoulder froze up. Lifting it was painful. At first I thought it might just resolve itself so I didn’t think much about it. After a few months it hadn’t improved so I went my doctor who suggested taking Ibuprofen up to 4 times a day. I tried that for a week or so but, of course, it didn’t resolve the problem and I don’t like taking tablets for any length of time. I also started yoga lessons, which sometimes helped for a day or so. After six months of a painful frozen shoulder, I started to look around for an osteopath. This was about the same time I started the collagen. Three weeks into the collagen I noticed that my shoulder was getting better. Now after 30 days, there is hardly any stiffness or pain at all. Maybe my shoulder would have gotten better without the collagen – I can’t say for sure. All I know is that it was very bad before I started and now its 99% better. I would never have thought to take collagen for a frozen shoulder or for my eyesight. I’m glad I’m vain enough to take it for my skin!

Collagen Smoothie Recipe: The collagen is a bit yucky so I blend it into a morning smoothie. I usually mix whole milk, a few scoops of Usana Nutrimeal, a 1/2 banana and some ice cubes. Sometimes I prefer a fruit smoothie and I’ll mix it with fruit juice, a banana, some frozen fruit and maybe a bit of Usana Nutrimeal.
You can buy Colla C, Dermalift and Somato 8 from eAntiAging.com. Look for the internet specials! And please come back an let us know if it works for you.

After only 1 month, I’m completely convinced of these products and will be suggesting them to my 75 years young Mom. I’ll keep you posted…
