The most common home treatment for acne is twice daily application of a benzoyl peroxide solution such as Neutrogena On-The-Spot. This works by killing bacteria, drying up the oil, and causing your skin to peel. It is effective for minor acne (whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples). Prescription or over-the-counter antibiotics like Stri-dex or Oxywork kill the bacteria which, with oil, causes acne.For an even more surefire acne treatment, your...more
If you aren't a sufferer of the effects of acne, feel lucky. Acne is one of the most common skin diseases in the United States, affecting some 17 million people. By definition, it occurs when the pores of the skin are plugged, where the natural oil, called sebum, can't reach the pore's surface. Doctors believe that it could be the overproduction of sebum that contributes to the clogging of pores, which results in the formation of pimples and...more
Oh, that wonderful life giving fountain of youth, all in just one little fruit called the Acai berry. You've heard of it of course otherwise you've been dead or living under a rock for quite a few years now.Aggressive marketing campaigns praise it to be the end all and be all of supplements with amazing properties. They drop fancy words like "Anthocyanins" and "Proanthocyanidins" on the unsuspecting longevity hungry public like cluster bombs. They even dragged the now famous Dr. Oz and our favorite show host Oprah into the fray, claiming they recommended the products.Let's look at just seven of these "secrets".1. Increased energy levels. Well, what's so wonderful about that? I can get increased energy levels from a can of soda, from blueberries and various other sources.2. Improved sexual performance. Oh! That's a good one but then again you'll most probably have to drink or eat a ton of it to see the effects in that department. Some marketers even claimed an increase in the size of the penis! How unscrupulous can you get.3. Improved skin appearance. Okay, this one is very vague and people tell about the antioxidant effects of washing free radicals from the skin cells...more

When I was a little girl, I spent a lot of time on how to control the acne. The acne was scattered not only on my face, but also my shoulders and back. Though I tried my best to cover the acne by various types of Creamy Concealer, the results are few. When my situation seemed hopeless, a friend of mine recommended Acne Free in 3 Days , who gave high praise of it and persuaded me to have a try. With the feeling of half believing, I decided to follow the Acne Free in 3 Days as soon as possible. At the very beginning of the treatment, I was surprised by eating nothing but apples for 3 whole days. For people who loved delicious food like me, it was not easy to do that. But the pectin in the apples has the effects of taking toxins away from the colon. Without these toxins, the acne could not act as a tyrant. In three days, I felt weak and powerless because only a small calorie can be intaken. But I told myself repeatedly: one more day of doing what I needed. On the 3rd day, I found my skin become smooth and glossy. The acne on my face almost disappeared and cleared up. I could not help but laughing wild, and I was too impatient to wait sharing the good news to my family...more
