Home Remedies for Acne

I am always looking for new home remedies for acne.  I have dealt with acne my entire life.  It is one of the most annoying things that is a continual battle.  To those of you that deal with it as well, you can relate.

This magical combo had been helping me this past week. Melaleuca essential oil and organic extra virgin coconut oil did the trick!  I had a funny sore on the edge of my nose that would not heal. I did a little “googling” and after two applications and some vitamin C pill-popping, it’s almost gone!  I have found that Google has almost all the answers to everything in the entire world!  Then if I need to see it in video form, I go to You Tube!

As a family we try to steer clear of antibiotics as much as possible. We’ve been known to swallow garlic cloves and goofy stuff like that. I swear it works though! 😉  My husband will literally take three cloves, peel them, cut them up into small pill sized cubes, throw them in his mouth and then swallow them with a glass of water!!  Our at home gym smells a little garlicky from time to time!!

Now that this bottle of coconut oil is dedicated to skin treatments, I think I will start using it as a body moisturizer (especially on my feet) after the shower. I’ve heard it’s anti fungal, too!  Again, my husband only uses coconut oil as lotion for his skin.  He doesn’t do well with most lotions, so this is an amazing alternative, that is totally good for you!

Man, now to find more ways to use it!!

I love learning new ideas.  Any fun combos you’ve tried and loved, let me know any home remedies for acne?
