Acne Skin Care Regimens
What is a basic no-frill skin care regimen for my troubled skin?
I have oily skin, with the first signs of aging on my face. I am 28 with moderate to severe acne.
My body skin is oily in places and dry in others. I am prone to skin wounds that are difficult to heal.
What is a no frill skin care regimen I can follow with common drugstore brands?
Common drug store brands are rarely the way to go.
Most will only separate you from your hard earned money while feeding you illusions.
I would suggest that you consider that you have nutritional deficiencies. Read as much Natural health material as you can get your hands on. There is no reason for you to have signs of aging at 28, unless you have neglected or abused yourself.
If you smoke, or drink, stop.
The best suggestions I can give you are to
eliminate all the junk from your diet
start eating lots of fresh (only fresh, not canned or even frozen) veggies, steamed
small amounts of lean protien without hormones added
drink lots of clear water
In addition to an excellent high quality multi vitamin/mineral supplement, take beta-carotene mega-doses everyday ( your body converts this to vitamin A, on an as needed basis, helping to avoid the problems of vit. A toxicity. This both helps clear the acne, and help the skin heal from any sort of wound.
If you cannot get beta cartotene at a reasonable price locally, then vitamin A capsules. Look up the maximum dose, on a website like medline. Take a high dose, but do not exceed the max dose. Toxicity is bad news.
Here is about the only the only common drug store recommendation I can make:
Kirk’s castille soap ( castille soap has no animal products and is pure) You may even find it at your grocery store, or if necessary can buy it online, but more expensive that way. About $1 per bar.
Kroger’s usually has it in a little space near the mega-corp bar soaps.
and
Queen Helen Mint Julep masque for your face. Walgreens usually has this. It is magic in a tube. Very basic stuff. No ad campaign necessary. About $3 per tube.
