Mole, acne has a unique cause with your body, what do you think your unique acne causative factor is?
Suppose that, if the cause is eliminated, the acne may not occur. I would figure it’s a matter of eliminating a causative factor, rather than adding a substance for cure, – unless there is a deficiency -, as with many things in relation to health.

I had skin acne some time ago. The best remedy which solved the problem was aloe. Just apply it on the face. This remedy truly works.

There are a lot of people selling things online. Some good some bad. Just watch out for scams!

I guess you were trying to sell a product all along. Oh well, you gave me the baking soda idea. If I want tips on acne, I’ll just go to acne.org

Jack, thank you so much for this information. I never knew that baking soda could be used to lessen acne. It’s nice to see a list of things that work from someone who’s tried everything. Like you, I have tried almost everything, and I know how it feels!

I did a diet of just fruit and fresh vegetables for a week and my skin dramatically improved. When I added food back in, I broke out when I ate cake, when I ate chocolate, when I ate crackers…long story short, the thing I found to make me break out was vegetable oil. I now use olive oil when cooking (olives are fruits because they grow on trees) and butter instead of margarine. I don’t eat packaged foods containing vegetable oil. Its been six weeks now and I haven’t had a single large pimple, the kind that swell under the skin. Just a few small ones sometimes that don’t hurt at all. Actually, I don’t put on tons of chemicals or lotions or toners anymore. I just wash my face twice a day. I am starting to wear less makeup too. Its a relief. Maybe some people’s acne is not caused by diet, but I do believe it aggravates acne in those people who are prone to it. You should try eliminating these oils, it could work for you. Just remember its in a lot of things, even this instant cappuccino mix I liked. Also, some processed cheeses have vegetable oil. Just a warning. But feta cheese and cream cheese had no effect of my skin. Another note, someone said maybe the weight loss associated with cutting out vegetable oil could be what decreased the acne. Well, cutting the vegetable oils did not make me lose weight. I eat just as much, I just eat differently. Anyway, good luck everyone, I hope my post helps someone.

Thanks for the info on fats. I couldn’t agree with you more!

In my 50’s and with heart disease a big problem in my family, I keep a close eye on my cholesterol. Although I eat saturated and mono-saturated fats (butter, coconut oil, olive oil and sesame oil) my bad cholesterol is low. I eat a lot of oats, almonds and whole grains which keeps my good cholesterol high. My total cholesterol is slightly high, but my doctor agrees with me that this doesn’t matter.

And my weight is normal too. What put weight on me are carbohydrates not fats.

I forgot to mention: Do not be afraid of good quality saturated fat as such fats have been falsely accused. Information is all around us which debunks the “low fat” diet theory. Quality of calories is more important than quantity.

It’s not surprising that refined vegetable oils contribute to acne. The government labels such oils as “healthy,” but such oils are extracted at very high temperatures using solvents like hexane, yielding toxins and causing rancidity. The government is highly subsidizing corn and soybeans, and at the same time they are recommending corn and soy oil. Hmm! These oils didn’t exist just 100 years ago and are essentially a result of the industrial food system. They are not a good choice for cooking and actually have been shown to contribute to heart disease. The healthiest fats are those which we’ve been eating successfully for thousands of years, such as butter, coconut oil, and olive oil. The quality of the oil matters as well. The least processing it undergoes the better, or the closest to how nature intended the better. For butter it would be organic raw grass-fed, for coconut oil it would be organic extra virgin cold-pressed, and for olive oil it would be organic extra virgin cold-pressed. Whatever oil you use, if it’s organic/cold-pressed it’s going to be a lot better than the cheap industrial version of the oil.

This is very sensible advice! Find out what your body needs. We’re all different. And we need to eat a balanced and sensible diet which includes healthy fats like butter, olive oil and coconut oil. Eating a variety of foods means you’ll get a variety of vitamins and minerals. I take supplements as well.

If you are looking to cleanse try Blessed Herbs. Read more here: http://how2gethealthy.com/colon-cleansing/
If you’ve got a local sauna you can use, go once or twice a week.

And remember to exercise regularly – walking is best.

And I almost forgot, relax and enjoy your food!
