Any information found on this website is strictly for educational and informational use only and is not at all intended to recommend treatment or diagnose disease or medical conditions. If you have a medical issue, you should seek the counsel of a qualified medical practitioner, doctor or physician.
We do not advocate one treatment over another or recommend that you take health matters in your own hands by self-diagnosing any condition or treating yourself without the benefit of checking with a doctor first.
With that said, there are plenty of documented studies and plenty of scientific research pointing to the benefits of natural medicine and plant based or plant derived products that can help to alleviate or eliminate symptoms of certain conditions.
There are clinical studies that have been done throughout the world on such things as Vitamin C, Aloe Vera and dozens of other botanical products. The medicinal properties of raw Garlic have been known for centuries as well as the anti-bacterial properties of honey, which has been used in biblical times for a wound healing agent.
Western medicine has helped save lives and many traditional treatments are vital and necessary to a person's health. However, there may be limitations to conventional treatments for cancer like chemotherapy and radiation. While I do not say that there is a cure for certain types of cancers, there are those people who have used alternative treatments like hyperbaric oxygen chambers and ozone therapy to help rid themselves of cancer. Why some studies have shown that hyperbaric oxygen therapy has helped stroke victims and those suffering from multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy.
Here are some sad facts of Alternative Medicine in the US:
The FDA promotes only pharmaceutical drugs and has a decades-long record of not approving, or even looking at, anything alternative. Again, this is the way of the world and you must face it.
In medical lawsuits, well-meaning but misinformed juries rule against doctors unless they've used conventional drugs, surgery and radiation.
Doctor's malpractice insurance won't cover them if they use "unapproved" alternatives.
Their state medical boards may fine them heavily, suspend their license to practice or even revoke it.
The FDA may do the same and confiscate patient records and medical equipment.
Doctors may lose their right to see their patients in hospitals.
Yet, to this day, thousands upon thousands of people stricken with all kinds of serious medical conditions have felt the inadequacy of traditional or conventional medicine and have sought out alternative treatments, whether they be approved by the AMA or FDA.
Whether it is Naturopathy, Homeopathy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic or Holistic Medicine, there are other therapies and natural approaches to diseases and many of them work better than the recommended protocols and without many of the harmful side effects.

For your age and skin type I would recommend Arbonne Intelligence 5 Step system for face. It is a natural, botanically based, swiss-formulated skin care system. It is ideal for young skin (from about age 16-36). The moisturizer is self-adjusting, so that you get the amount your skin needs, without being over-moisturized. The eye cream is FANTASTIC! The cleanser and pH balancing Toner are a must. And there is also a facial scrub to use twice a week for that ‘deep cleaning and exfoliating’. These Arbonne products contain no mineral oil, no petroleum products, no animal or animal by-products and no chemical fragrances.
Most over the counter products actually have ingredients in them that will ultimately harm your skin. One ingredient, mineral oil, is in 98% of all cosmetics and moisturizers, but has been found to be the second leading cause of premature aging of the skin. The molecules in mineral oil are too large to penetrate the skin (which is what the manufacturers had wanted it to do to moisturize), so they sit on top of your skin like a film of plastic wrap…this ‘seals’ the pores, so that your skin cannot breathe, and toxins cannot be released.
You are very lucky to have been blessed with great skin, so take care of it and don’t ruin it by using damaging products. You may have to pay a little bit more, but isn’t your skin and your health worth it? Feel free to email me if you have any other questions.
read tips on home remedies and treating acne and more on skincare on this site
To get rid of acne/pimples, use an acne treatment with benzyl peroxide. To prevent acne from coming back, drink plenty of water every day. Use a daily face wash with salicylic acid in it to unclog dirt and oil from pores, which cause pimples. Make sure to moisturize every day too, because acne medicine will otherwise dry your face out. If your face thinks that it is being dried out, it will produce even more oil, causing acne. Hope I helped.
Well, lets see, your best bet is liquid antibacterial soap, foam up face and then rinse with hot water and then cold.
The only thing u need is aloe vera on face afterwards, it soothes, and prevents wrinkles.
I use Mary Kay products. They have them based on your type of skin. So I use the cleansing creme, the moisture rich mask and the moisturizer. It’s pretty reasonable and a bottle lasts you for a while. It’s helped me for years.
U can use aqueous cream as a moisturizer,olive oil to let a black polka dot gone,aloe Vera gel good for your skin.Avoid from use a skin care product that contains chemicals.Use lots of natural made product.
I use arbonne products they have the best skincare for body face feet hands everything! They are really good and healthy products and ingredients. You should give it a try. Go to arbonne.com and enter consultant #16329378 or email jca0205@yahoo.com for help
Personally, I use Nuetrogena VisiblyEven cleanser and then I use Loreal Hydrafresh toner. The result has been a clear, brighter, even, skin tone
Each one cost about $5 to $6 at Walmart.
