6 things must be done EVERYDAY to reduce/prevent acne: 1)Wash, Tone, Moisturize Face 2 or 3 Times 2)Don’t Let Dirty Things Touch Face 3)Eat Healthy Food, Limit Junk Food 4)Take Multi Vitamin Mineral 5)Drink About 64 oz Pure Water 6)Do 20 to 30 Min Aerobic Exercise. Doing 1 or a few of these will NOT keep skin clear as possible!

Use 3 things on face: Wash, Toner, Moisturizer. Do this at least 2x a day, morning & night (possibly 3rd time, midday, if super oily/sweating). Products that work for one person may not work for another person, so always do small patch test on face for a couple of days to see how skin will react to product! Don’t quickly jump from product to product! Give skin a break before trying new product to prevent irritation! Natural & gentle products are sometimes more effective than acne medicine!

NATURAL & GENTLE: Wash face with warm water & Purpose Gentle Cleansing Bar by Johnson & Johnson. Tone face with Witch Hazel (Thayers or Dickinson’s) or Homemade Toner. Witch Hazel reduces bacteria/swelling, minimizes pores, helps acne. Make toner by mixing 1 part Organic Apple Cider Vinegar With The Mother (Try Bragg) with 5 parts pure water. Test small area! If burns/to drying, use more water! Use at least 1 part water! Less Water = Stronger, More Drying Formula. This vinegar kills bacteria, absorbs excess oil, dries out pimples, lightens scars, refines skin tone. Don’t use other types of vinegar, will not work! Moisturize face with Lily Of The Desert Aloe Vera Gelly, its 99% organic, contains vitamin A, C, E! Aloe vera helps renew skin cells, heals blemishes/scars. Don’t use other brands of aloe, has very little aloe & to much junk in it which can irritate skin!

ACNE MEDICINE: Try 1 of these active ingredients for a period of time to see if skin improves: Benzoyl Peroxide, Salicylic Acid, Sulfur, Alpha Hydroxy Acid, Beta Hydroxy Acid, Lactic Acid, Glycolic Acid. Try acids by Perfect Peel Solutions, Cellbone Technology, Skin Laboratory, Alpha Hydrox/Neoteric Cosmetics. Acid heals acne, cyst, scars! If over the counter stuff doesn’t work, see doctor to get stronger medicine.

FACE PRODUCTS & MAKEUP: Only use oil free products that won’t clog pores & cause acne! Try Revlon ColorStay Combination/Oily Skin Foundation. Using a Makeup Setting Spray (Skindinavia, Model In A Bottle, Urban Decay, Sephora) will give you shine-free skin all day! Old makeup, makeup tools harbor bacteria, Use fresh makeup, wash/replace tools often! Wash makeup off face before going to bed!

FACE MASK can be done once a week. Make mask by mixing plain oatmeal with water. Oatmeal is soothing, absorbs excess oil, makes skin smoother. Wash face with warm water, apply mask. Leave on for 30 min. Rinse off with warm water, Apply toner & moisturizer.

HANDS-HAIR-STUFF: Keep dirt & bacteria at bay to prevent breakouts! Don’t touch face with hands, Don’t let phone nor dirty oily hair touch face, Don’t lean face on objects, Clean glasses often, Wash pillowcase, sheets, blanket, washcloth, towel often. Always wash hands before applying face products!

KEEP MOVING: Aerobic Exercise, Face Massage, Dry Skin Brushing increases circulation & delivery of nutrients to skin cells, encourages good blood supply, helps remove toxins, controls acne breakouts! Do 20to30 min of exercise, everyday or every other day! For outstanding results, do all 3 activities, everyday! When exercising, drink water & immediately take a shower to remove sweat & dirt! For face massage, wash hands & face, apply toner, use aloe vera as massage gel. Do 10 min massage before going to bed. Don’t wash face again, let aloe dry on face. Buy any book on face massage (Ten Minute Facelift by Jennie Harding). Dry Skin Brushing must be done correctly & carefully, read book, Dr. Berkowsky’s Vital Chi Skin Brushing System by Bruce Berkowsky! Never brush delicate face! Take shower after brushing to wash off dead skin & dirt!

DIET & LIFESTYLE: Research has shown that there is a connection between certain kinds of food & acne! Read book The Clear Skin Diet by Alan C. Logan & Valori Treloar! This book has detailed info on what to eat and not to eat to help reduce/prevent acne! Always eat healthy food – fruit, vegetables, lean meat, fiber, beans, wholegrains, foods rich in omega 3 fatty acids, zinc, vitamin A & C. Limit intake of frozen meals, dairy, milk, fat, oil, butter, greasy/fried foods, sugar, candy, salt, dessert, caffeine, coffee, pop, alcohol. Always avoid cigarettes, tobacco, illegal drugs! Its hard to get all vitamins minerals skin needs, so take supplement everyday! Overdosing on vitamins minerals from food or supplements is dangerous! Drinking about 64 oz of pure water everyday improves skin quality, flushes out toxins, delivers nutrients to skin! You can also include 100% Fruit Juice as part of your daily total. Acne can be caused or aggravated by constipation, make sure bow movements are regular! Getting enough sleep helps skin repair itself!

Chloe Adisson answers:

The aloe vera will just dry out ur skin and acne!

Chloe Adisson answers:

It’s great for acne if you’re not allergic to it. Most people aren’t – it’s an ingredient in most organic skin care products. If you’re allergic to onions, garlic, or tulips, that would be an indicator of an aloe vera allergy.
As for application, apply just enough so your skin feels moist, use morning and night as with any other moisturizer.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Don’t put it specifically on pimples. If you have one that you picked at and its dry and flaky, it seems to work pretty ok at helping that. Putting it directly on festering pimples would make them worse. Or it did for me, anyways.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Aloe vera pulp is good for digestive organs & as well as it retains the moisture of the skin .If you are asking about prevention of acne by using it alone , My answer probably may be or not . Acne problem is due to hormonal imbalance & disturb immune system of the body.
Aloe vera alone can not can improve both of the above.
As you have restricted to answer more other than aloe vera.So I finish here.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Haha. You sound really really educated about this kind of stuff.

I think people are being criticiced for seeking diet advice because in my expierence with Yahoo Answers alot of the people are Underweight already and still they want to lose more weight. When you thing about it there are 11 and 12 year olds on this site wanting to know if the Master Cleanse or drinking grapefruit juice all day will help them lose weight.

And usually people are not shunned for asking for diet advice when they actually need it. Like if there overweight or obese, buy yeah that happens a lot. People tend to lecture people on stuff like that because it’s preventable. Just like obesity is, however there are more questions that pertain more to low weight.

Just my opinion :]
And yes, I agree with everything you said.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Good idea but…. I love to eat and coul not get past the water fast

Chloe Adisson answers:

At least in the UK, it seems to have started in the early 1990s.

I had a look in NewsBank (the UK and Ireland online newspaper archive), and until around 1992 there were several dozen hits in papers a year, all using it in the trad scientific sense. Then over about a decade it creeps up to 2000+ hits, either using it to refer to general pollutants or (mostly) the fictitious poisons that “detoxifying” is alleged to remove.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Were working on it.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Well, you shouldn’t smoke pot in the first place. It only gives you a false sense that you’re happy and okay and that your life isn’t like it really is. Quit smoking it. Maybe if you start joining more clubs and really, really, trying to socialize, you might feel it lot better. Good luck!

Chloe Adisson answers:

No it will not in all honesty.
It will only clear your intestines, and give you a healthier colon.

If you want to get lighter skin, it may or may not be possible because of your natural pigmentation of skin tone.

Go talk to a dermatologist, and see what they can do for you.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Yes, just leave your body to clean itself and keep up a healthy diet.

Anyone who tells you that ‘detox’ is real is a scammer who is insulting your intelligence.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Although Niacin, Vitamin B3 is used to help folks with high cholesterol, it has to be very carefully monitored and adjusted. In high doses it has some very unsavory side effects, such as skin rashes and heart arrythmias. If it gets bad enough, it can even cause liver failure. There have been scientific studies done on it’s ability to “flush” a system but they haven’t found any benefit. What they have found is that in the normal person the side effects and toxicity prove far more dangerous than any benefit they might have. For the average person there are no toxins that you need concern yourself with trying to remove, and really none you can remove with things available for sale. The digestive system is a self cleaning system, set up to absorb nutrients from what you’ve eaten. It doesn’t allow things to flow into the system from the other direction. The job of waste removal from the blood falls to the liver and kidneys, which is where any intake of B3 would be dealt with. They would try to remove the excess amounts you took, and in the process likely get overloaded, causing the side effects I mentioned. It’s not a good idea to overload them either, since permanent damage is nearly impossible to fix. In cases where somebody has actually gotten a toxic substance into the body, there are methods to attempt to leach it out, using forms of chemotherapy to do it. It’s not easy, and it comes with risks all it’s own. And finally, there is a portion of the population that is somewhat allergic to the supplemental forms, and their reactions to large doses are really not good. It can make you go blind, even kill you. As a health regimen, taking more than the 100% recommended allowance isn’t just not sensible, it’s dangerous. You can’t clean your system, and more to the point, you don’t need to. Do it the old fashioned way, eat right, drink plenty of fluids, and exercise. Your body is designed to function quite well if you do these things, and without any other assistance from you. People live quite well without ever even trying to clean out their insides, and some of those who have tried have died due to their efforts to meddle. Do yourself a favor, don’t waste you money on the supplements like this. Just buy good food to eat,and trust your body knows what it needs to do.

Chloe Adisson answers:

The damage is done upon exposure. Think in terms of a microwave oven. You “cook” from the inside out. The only people at serious risk of exposure in japan are the workers who are voluntarily going into the contaminated site to hold things together. You,ll get way more radiation from a ct scan than from the broken reactor.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Lots of fiber and super milk thistle for your liver. Also, HOT baths and yoga. Don’t forget to drink lots of water, 64oz per day (or your body weight divided in half = the oz of water you should drink in a day).

Chloe Adisson answers:

I am not sure whats to dangerous. But when I was I kid I had a bad fever to hot said I could die. They took me to the hospital and put me in a tub of icy cold water to cool me down, it worked and lowered my tempature to a safe tempature. We could of did the same thing at home, that will lower his tempature. I hardly remember I was young but wasn’t fun I was freezing in icy water but it had to be done.

Chloe Adisson answers:

39.72 deg. C

Chloe Adisson answers:

No. It’s not likely unless the fever is higher than 107°. Why do you think you could have brain damage? The cough is probably normal even though you’re not sick anymore.

And as to what are the severe brain damages symptoms. I doubt you’d be able to be able to word a question, let apart go to your computer and type it, if you had any.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Make sure your cold medicine doesn’t also contain tylenol or acetaminophen, it’s generic name. You don’t want to accidentally OD on Tylenol, it’ll mess up your liver.
Sounds like you’re doing the right thing about treating your fever. Make sure you drink plenty of liquids, cause when you have a fever your body burns up more liquids.
There’s no telling when your temp and symptoms will get better, a virus can last to 7 days. Virus’s get bettter with time and symptomatic treatment. No medicine (besides cold eeze and the like) will help it go away quicker. Some people say Ecchinacia helps,. But studies show it doesn’t. Vit C won’t hurt, but most studies say it doesn’t help either. So, if you get worse, make sure you seek treatment. It’s a good sign the overall temp is lower. Temps do tend to spike in the late afternoon. Good luck hope you feel better sooon!

Chloe Adisson answers:

Possibly could be strep throat, you need a throat culture done to test for it. Antibiotics will be given if the test is positive.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Just eat all raw veggies and drink water, you’ll detox your body quickly.

Chloe Adisson answers:

All unprocessed foods are good but you should also go to the chemist and get a box of milk thistle tablets they are known to do this very job.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Garlic, water with lemon, green tea, raw vegetables and fruit (no fruit if you suffer from yeast infections, and no bananas at all)

Chloe Adisson answers:

Asparagus and watermelon

Chloe Adisson answers:

If your talking about the Kinoki foot patch it doesnt work. Its all a gimmick, if I remember correctly, the foot patch contains tea and vinegar and doesnt do anything.. If it does its more of a placebo effect, all that stuff about how it turns black the next day, it’ll turn black on its own without any skin contact..Its a waste..

Chloe Adisson answers:

I don’t see any way in which these very vague symptoms could be related to liver disease. Perhaps you became scared after reading something about liver detox? Sorry, but there simply is no justification for detoxification.

Chloe Adisson answers:

The liver takes toxins that our body makes or that
come into the body and converts them to a non
toxic form that the body can easily dispose of.

Let take alcohol, as an example.
The liver usings it’s cells enzymes, will convert
alcohol first into acetaldehyde, then into acetate,
and then into CO2 and water.

What happens when a person consumes too much
alcohol, the liver cannot convert it fast enough pass
the first stage and it becomes toxic to the liver cells
and can cause damage to them.
This is an example of a possible toxin coming into
the body.

Now for an example of a toxin made in the body.
When we use proteins in our body, a byproduct is
formed. That is ammonia. The liver would normally
take this ammonia and convert it in urea for the kidneys
to pick up and remove it from the body in the urine.
People who have liver disease where the cells of the
liver have died off, this function doesn’t happen
efficiently and so the ammonia stays in the blood and
goes into the brain and causes confusion and disorientation.

So, you can see that the liver handles toxins in the body.
…..
When we eat, the foods are broken down into fats,
carbohydrates, and proteins (amino acids). These
are absorbed into the blood from the intestines and
go to the liver. Our cells use glucose as its main
source of energy. So, the liver will supply this
glucose to the body, even by converting the carbohydrates
first, the proteins second and the fats third into glucose.
If the cells have enough energy, the liver will then convert
the glucose into glycogen and be stored in the liver till
it is needed. It is converted back to glucose when the
cells need more energy (usually between meals)

Chloe Adisson answers:

Total poppycock. The liver is the organ that deals with toxins, you cannot detoxify it! Unfortunately the whole concept of detox is an urban myth. It is based solely on the irrational rants of constipated Edwardians who refused to eat vegetables as the considered them food only fit for the lower classes to consume. As a result they had little option but to spend their time taking laxatives and purgatives and giving themselves enemas. Provided you have not already done too much damage to your body, your liver and kidneys will deal with problem of removing toxins from your body, as that was what they were designed to do. After that, tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life and you can start afresh.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Dandelion tea works wonders on a sluggish liver (the primary filtering organ of the body), gall bladder (which produces bile to assist the digestion of fatty foods) and spleen ( an organ producing new red blood cels), and it also encourages bowel action and reduces fluid retention. Drinking Dandelion tea is one of the most effective ways to detox your body, because it stimulates digestive enzymes and bile to allow the easier metabolism of fatty foods.

Dandelion leaves, alfalfa, aspargus, celery and vitamin B6 can all work as natural diuretics.

Dandelion tea is excellent for ridding the body of excess fluid because, as the tea leaves contain high amounts of potassium, the body is not depleted of this important mineral through the diuretic effect of the tea?

Ensure, for therapeutic purposes, that you buy organic Dandelion leaf as the commercial or teabag varieties have had so much of their essential oils pulverised from them. Another reason to use organic is one of the properties of the Dandelion plant is to absorb metal pollutants from the atmosphere ~ as such organic really is essential. Add honey to taste if you like as the taste can be quite bitter ….. Or lemons or limes if you like the tartness?;

2 – 3 teaspoons per teapot would be sufficient?By buying the organic variety, the essential oils are still so potent that the spent leaves could be reused 2 – 3 times ~ simply refill the pot with hot water and rebrew for 15 – 20 minutes.?

Limit your intake of Dandelion tea to a period of say 2 – 3 weeks at a time …….. Have rest periods in between using it ?

Perhaps this link may be of use to you ~

http://www.detoxaustralia.com.au/supplementing_your_diet.htm

Water, water water …. Ensure that you also hydrate your body properly with at least 2 – 3 litres of water per day as nothing substitutes for pure fresh water?

Try to cut back on dehydrating drinks such as coffee, tea, sodas and soft drinks and alcohol (if you drink any of these) as they will not only dehydrate you terribly but also rob you of your essential B complex of vitamins.

Take a multi B complex supplement also…. To support healthy immune, neural and digestive functioning…… Great for bolstering your body to deal with life’s every day stressy situation …. Get one including all the B’s ie ~ B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 andB12 etc. As they all work best as a group. Don’t buy any of the B complex of vitamins individually but rather as a whole group, unless specifically told to do so buy a nutritionally oriented physician or naturopath ?

Please also ensure that you consult with a nutritionally oriented physician or naturopath or herbalist before using Dandelion herb if you are pregnant or breastfeeding and do not use on infants or young children ?

Try to cut out all junky and pre packaged foods and eat food as freshly and as close to its natural state as you possibly can…… Pump your intake of leafy and green vegies (rich in magnesium and foods rich in magnesium will help to bolster healthy nerve and muscle functioning thus aiding in any issues with constipation you may have), vegies, fresh fruits, wholegrain cereals and breads, cold water fishes (also rich in magnesium) and organic lean meats ?

Hope this info helps you a bit?

Good health to you & yours?

Chloe Adisson answers:

The best (and easiest and cheapest!) thing you can do is to eat a diet of at least 75% raw foods. (Fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, fresh juices, lots of filtered water.)

Keep the colon clean to facilitate toxin elimination from the liver: Eating plenty of raw fibrous vegetables, like carrots, celery and cauliflower, will sweep out your colon nicely.

Foods high in Vitamin K (leafy greens, alfalfa sprouts) are especially beneficial.

Eat plenty of raw almonds, Brazil nuts, coconut, walnuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, or pumpkin seeds. These contain arginine, an amino acid which helps to detoxify ammonia, a by-product of protein digestion which accumulates in the liver.

Avoid processed foods, red meat, alcohol, caffeine and medications where possible.
