Hi,

A complete lifestyle change which would help you solve your issues. To get rid of acne getting to the root cause and solving that would help you achieve clear smooth skin. No doubt some short term home remedies could support you, but to get rid of it completely a holistic lifestyle change is recommended. To understand this lets briefly look at the working of our body.

Acne sets off because of the amount of change in the sex hormones in the blood. There is an increase in the production of testosterone. When there is an increase in the production in the blood it also increases the production of sebum in the skin. Bacteria live everywhere on our skin and where is an increase in sebum, they have a lot more food to feed on. This results in bacteria multiplying in numbers and the body in response to this produces little pustules in response to this. When we observe this on our skin our immediate reaction is we must clean and scrub our skin more often. But, this harms rather than benefiting us. The reason is our body produces an acid layer so that the bacteria cannot enter our body, but when we scrub our skin the acid layer is washed off and the bacteria gain entry into our body. Its actually the function of our liver to change the structure of the sex hormones and remove them in the faecal matter after they have done their job, but if the liver is too overwhelmed either due to toxic overload which happens either due to wrong food choices, medications, pollution, etc, then the sex hormones would not be changed efficiently or quickly enough to be removed from our body. They then stay for a longer time in the blood and then it provides more food for the bacteria to feed on. This continues in a vicious cycle.

Following lifestyle changes would be helpful:

• Include plenty of raw fruits and raw vegetables in your diet. These contain essential nutrients which are important components of many hormones and many body functions. They are also alkaline in nature which your body requires to maintain its ph.
• Make sure you consume fruits for breakfast since the body is in the elimination phase and you would help your body.
• Make sure you sleep well. Your body recovers and repairs during this time.
• Avoid all animal foods including dairy. They are acidic for the body and create a load on the system.
• Avoid all packed, processed, sugary and fried foods. All of them are high in sugar, oil and coloring agents. These all create a hormonal imbalance and are difficult to digest. They are also empty calories, provide no nutrition for the body. They are all acidic foods.
• Expose to sunshine in the morning hours. This is a natural doctor. Any bacteria on the skin would also get removed.
• Make sure you clear your bowels every day.
• Do not use any artificial creams, chemicals, etc on your skin. Allow your skin to breathe.
• Make sure you are hydrated at the cellular level. Chewing on to raw fruits, coconut water, vegetables, greens, etc would help you ensure that. Chewing your food slowly and also slowly sipping fluids is important rather than gulping down.

Hi. Please refer to the below resources to understand more about skin issues & Nature Cure.

1. Blog - Skin – An indicator of good health

2. Blog - Free Yourself from Harmful Chemicals – Switch to Natural Beauty Products

3. Real-life natural healing stories of people who cured Skin Issues just by following Natural Laws. 

Adopting a natural lifestyle will definitely help you reclaim your skin, but it will need some effort & commitment from your side. Wellcure’s Nature-Nurtures Program helps you in making the transition, step by step. You may read more about it here. We will guide you on diet, sleep, exercise, stress to correct your existing routine & make it in line with Natural Laws. 

As far as goat milk soap is concerned, goat's milk is meant for goat's child. We do not encourage use of such animal foods. 

Skin is a reflection of the body’s health inside. Health is always inside out and not outside in. Goats milk is for its baby and not to make soap for humans. Do we lend our human milk to clean animals? When we think that’s unnatural, then I am sure the vice versa must be true too. 

You have acne (mild now and will aggravate if the lifestyle is same) now and that is due to your lifestyle and adding new products to the mix won’t help. You need to understand the foods that are majorly causing this and remove it. It’s as simple as that and feed on foods that are designed for humans.

Eliminations happens via the skin too. Since a child whatever toxins such as pollution, chemicals on skin, dairy, meat, eggs, fish, all the harsh chemicals that would have been used in the household, toxic smells, medicines et cetera would have got collected in your liver and over a period of time when it maxes out, and it finds that the other excretory organs are also clogged, it tries to eliminate that from the skin. The more severe your Acne the more accumulation of toxins in your skin and so in the body. 

The solution is to start focusing on cleaning your body. Lead a healthy whole food plant-based diet with a focus on raw till dinner and your skin will be ok over time. 50% of fruits and greens, 30% of vegetables, 20% of cooked food is all that is necessary to clean your body. Avoid all forms of fats even nuts and seeds for this condition to heal. Over time you can include coconuts. Quit dairy, meat, fish, eggs, sugar, all forms of oils including any fancy cold-pressed oils, refined oils having food outside often (because of all the refined and processed food and + the chemicals to make it tastier), wheat and other grains contain gluten such as barley and oats. Avoid maida and other forms of foods that contain gluten.

Include a lot of fruit and vegetable juices such as cucumber, ash gourd which comes to at least 2-3L per day.

Next, avoid all cosmetics and chemical application on the skin. Use natural products such as my recipes here below. Put things on your skin that you can put into your mouth too. As you continue to improve on the Raw intake in your life and quit all forms of medications, the skin will definitely pop out and overtime release all the toxins that are inside the body. You will have to allow it to happen for you are Acne to be completely healed in future. Pus is nothing but all the toxins that are coming out. 

Any form of medicines does two purposes, one is to give an improvement in your condition and the second is to cause another problem which is toxin accumulation. Since medicine is not Food the body will try to eliminate it in the form that it knows best in your body which is acne

ACNE

Acne is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition that causes spots and pimples, especially on the face, shoulders, back, neck, chest, and upper arms. It very commonly occurs during puberty, when the sebaceous glands activate but it can occur in any age. It is not dangerous but can leave a scar on the skin.

CAUSE:

• Human skin has pores that connect to oil glands under the skin. Follicles connect the glands to the pores. Follicles are small sacs that produce and secrete liquid.
• The glands produce an oily liquid called sebum. The sebum carries dead skin cells through the follicles to the surface of the skin. A small hair grows through the follicle out of the skin.
• Pimples grow when these follicles get blocked, and oil builds up under the skin.
• Skin cells, sebum, and hair can clump together into a plug. This plug gets infected with bacteria and swelling results. A pimple starts to develop when the plug begins to break down.
• Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) is the name of the bacteria that live on the skin and contributes to the infection of pimples.

OTHER FACTORS:

• some medications that contain androgen and lithium
• greasy cosmetics
• hormonal changes
• emotional stress
• menstruation
• GREASY FOODS
