ACNE, DRY SKIN, AND ECZEMA HELP!!!!?
August 3rd, 2010Question: ACNE, DRY SKIN, AND ECZEMA HELP!!!!?
so i suffer from eczema which makes my skin very sensitive so i cant really use harsh stuff or else it dry out and it looks bad. I only use cortizone on my face because it helps with my eczema, which is under control and not obvious.
this past summer i started to get whiteheads. i do wear foundation just about each day but its oil free so not that bad. i have always washed my face well but i have no clue why i now have acne and it so frustrating!
just about a month ago i started using acne-free which i stop using because it really dried up my skin and i saw no improvement. now for the past week i have been using clean and clear acne control. problem is i see no acne improvement and my skin is still dry, but not as much as before.
Please help i want my clear smooth skin back!!

You don’t need lotion or creams. What you really need is to change your diet. I have psoriasis which is different but recently it had flaired up. I purchased an e-book at www.howtocurepsoriasis.com which has completely cured my condition and changed my approach. This book teached you how to equilibrium your body’s ph through more intelligent intake and drinking habits. Your body is responding to toxins in it’s system by storing them in your skin in the form of exzcema and acne. It’s doing this because your intaking food that is too acidic for your body to handle and the by product is your skin conditions. Eliminating or drastically reducing foods like red meat, coffee, soda, and anything with processed sweetners will give you some immediate results. If you like red meat only have it once at lunch, have fruit for breakfast, have a soda or a coffee only once a day if you must. I’ve been doing this for about three weeks and after about three days my psoriasis reduced by about 75%. Another thing is drinking as much water as your body needs. They say about 7oz. per 10lbs of body weight. These two things seriously have had great effects on my body. If your body is in a healthy non-toxic say it will begin to repair itself on it’s own. I’ve needed no cream and my skin has repaired itself.

Beware of using any products for acne unless they have been prescribed or recommended by your doctor. Often antibiotics are needed to treat acne, so you should see a doctor about it. You may need a combination of oral and topical antibiotics, benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid and/or retinoids.
People make all kinds of suggestions about the best thing to do to cure acne. Some cures I’ve heard include putting oatmeal, honey, lemon juice, tea tree oil, cucumber, vinegar, milk of magnesia or toothpaste on your face. Practically every cosmetics company and company that makes personal care products makes something that is a “sure cure” for acne. If we think about this, and use some common sense, we have to come to the conclusion that there is no quick or easy cure for acne, because if there was it would be well known and doctors would be telling everyone about it.
Numerous companies make a lot of money persuading people to buy products that at worst will make the acne worse, and at best may help some people a little. Often fewer products are better. People often make their acne much worse by using too many products. There really is no quick fix for acne. Don’t spend a lot of money on products just because their ads say that they will cure acne. Your doctor is the best person to ask for help, and he or she may recommend some prescription medication or non-prescription treatment that may be suitable for you..
There are some very simple and basic things you can do that cost nothing. Keep your face or any other area affected by acne very clean. Any mild antibacterial soap will help with that. Rinse the area well to remove all soap residue. Drink plenty of water – it really does help to clear up acne. Eat a nutritious diet and get enough sleep. A healthy life style will make a difference. Try to reduce the stress in your life – stress contributes to acne, so also probably the more you worry about the acne and focus on it, the worse it will be.
Probably the most useful and effective things you can do are to apply hot compresses to pustules and cysts and never to pick or squeeze pimples. Playing with or popping pimples, no matter how careful and clean you are, nearly always makes bumps stay redder and bumpier longer.
