If you have moderate to severe acne, you have to treat from inside and outside. If your acne will never go away and stay away. br 1. Taken as a supplement of 500 mg vitamin C three times daily with a meal or snack. (Until the 1000 mg dose not if you are over 30 years of age.) Take all the pills at once! Vitamin C is water soluble, so it works best when it is replenished throughout the day. br 2. Take flaxseed oil 1000 mg three times daily. It will reduce the size of the pores. (You can also add evening primrose, borage or black currant seed oil.) Br 4. Drinking tea echinacea or goldenseal, twice daily, once upon waking and again in the evening, 23 hours before bedtime. br 5. Use a soap or cleanser for Sensitive skin. The more natural the better. Romero or soaps tea tree oil, if you can find where you live, would be particularly useful. br 6. Make a quot; antesquot; bed toner to be used after cleaning each night until the acne disappears completely. these are the ingredients: 1 / 3 cup distilled water, alcohol 5 TB, 5 TB of hydrogen peroxide, 2 TB fresh lemon juice and 60 drops of eucalyptus oil. Shake well to mix. (The alcohol will keep the lemon juice, so no need to refrigerate.) You can use each time you clean, always use a high SPF sunscreen before going outdoors. Always let the dry toner on your skin before applying moisturizer. br 7. Only use a carrier oil for quot; sensiblequot skin and add 8.10 drops of tea tree oil per ounce. Always apply moisturizer before sunscreen. br 8. Just use an oil free sunscreen specifically for the face. Anything else is asking for trouble. Wait at least 30 minutes before going outdoors and refresh your sunscreen every three hours later. Aerosol varieties are ideal for this, especially if you're a woman who uses cosmetics. br 9. In addition, regular exercise and taking time to relax and decompress meditation, massage are also important alternative treatments for acne, because the body needs to be at its peak to fight disease. BR has been working for me. Started after my last major outbreak in the forehead, nose and chin was in midJuly. My face was smooth again in two weeks, and has been smooth since then. Another br reason I recommend this regimen is my acne had worsened due to a hormonal treatment for fibroids, but still worked. If you are receiving treatment for fibroids, of course, this is the way forward to get and keep your acne under control. br br
