What’s Causing My Acne?
The best way to get rid of adult acne is to figure out why you have it to begin with. However, there are many different causes of adult acne. For many people, the root cause is typically one of the following:
- Diet
- Stress
- Lack of sleep
- Gut issues
- Hormonal changes
- Certain medications
- Genes
Home Remedies for Adult Acne
1. Intestinal Cleanse
I’ve had many conversations with people who have adult acne and a common thread that affects them all is that their gut is imbalanced. The gut and skin always go together. So, the first thing I recommend people do when they have adult acne is to clean and fix their gut.
I always put people on an intestinal cleanse with an oxygen-based colon cleanser like Oxy-Powder®, and a good probiotic like Floratrex™. These products will replenish the gut and nurture the gut-skin connection.
2. Ozonated Olive Oil
Another product I recommend for repairing and regenerating the skin on the face is O2-Zap® — an organic ozonated olive oil.
It’s the same product that high-end, luxury spas use for an oxygen-based facial. With O2-Zap, you can get around 20-30 oxygen facials — without the luxury price. I recommend putting it on your face before going to bed. It’s perfect for helping to promote a smooth, even complexion by calming redness and cleansing the skin.
3. Change Your Diet
Everybody’s skin is different conditions. Some people have oily skin, while others have dry skin. When you’re dealing with adult acne, it’s usually oily skin. So, you need to open up those skin pores, which is why I recommend cleansing the bowel and changing your diet.
If you have acne, your skin is producing too much oil, so you want to eat healthier. A plant-based diet is a great choice if you’re looking to switch up your diet.
Additional Remedies
What you want to do is rid your body of harmful organisms, and cleanse your body. In my experience, cleansing and detoxification provide benefits for everybody.
Doctors are coming up with long programs, but you don’t need that. The body is made to heal itself with rest, water, sunlight, and detoxification.
Find the Natural Remedy That Works for You
What works for one person may not work for another — that’s alright. Try various remedies and find the one that works best for you. You might even discover a perfect combination of solutions that give you the results you’re after.
Going Deeper
The full protocol I recommend is to start with an intestinal cleanse, then cleanse the liver and gallbladder, follow up with a harmful organism cleanse, and finish with a chemical and toxic metal cleanse.
Over the past 20 years, I’ve gotten feedback from thousands of people who’ve cleansed their body and experienced a special kind of happiness from the boost it gave them.
One final thought. If you wear makeup, be aware that many types and brands of makeup have toxic ingredients, and they can clog up your pores. At a minimum, switch to natural makeup, or just stop wearing makeup for a while.
Points to Remember
Instead of covering up the problem with makeup or chemical-laden beauty products, take some of the burdens off your skin with natural remedies like ozonated olive oil, improving your diet, and even cleansing your body.
You’re your own unique person and have the skin to match, so try several remedies to see which works best for you. Take a comprehensive approach and follow a healthy, whole-foods diet, drink plenty of water, and make sure you consistently get enough restful sleep.
