Acne Scars and Cysts and Oily Skin

What problems do you face in taking care of your skin?: I have problems drinking water but now i think i will use your idea of how i can remember.

I have a lot of problem with the pimples due to cysts. I have a combination skin and it is really terrible at times.can't really handle. please suggest home recipes that will help me maintain a balanced skin...not too oily not too dry.

What is the best thing you found on our site?: The best thing i found in your site is the natural home remedies. I think they are great for some body who cannot afford heavy prices to get clear skin.

Is there anything else we can do to help?:

Thanks a lot for your Naturally Clear News for July 2010. It was very helpful. Actually I want to let you know that lately I was diagnosed with cysts in my ovaries and only then realized this is the main reason for my pimples and scars. I am on medication and good diet and now i have very less pimples.

The problem is I have a lot of pimple scars and i m really worried as I will b getting married in 3 months time. Could you please be kind enough to let me know how should I get rid of these scars as well as manage to get a fair skin within 3 months? sometimes i feel very embarrassing. Please help me get a clear and fair complexion and also please suggest if it is advisable to use oral gluthathione pills with vitamin C to help get clearer skin.

Hi, thanks for writing, and I'm so glad you are finding our Naturally Clear News newsletter helpful. Congratulations on your upcoming marriage!

Yes, hormonal imbalances and other health issues can affect our skin and even cause acne and other skin problems. That is why I always recommend you see a good health practitioner if you are having skin problems.

There are several natural scar remedies that you can try that may be helpful for removing the acne scars. Here are some of our articles on this subject:

Usually it takes time for scars to heal and so to look your best on your special day, you can cover the scars with a good quality hypoallergenic mineral makeup.

There are products specifically designed to help cover blemishes, such as the Cleure Concealer, which can be used along with their other mineral makeup products.

In answer to your question about fair skin, we have a new page on this very topic which you may find helpful at our Safe Skin Bleaching Cream page. There is a safe skin lightening product on that page which can help to fade scars and lighten the complexion.

In answer to your question about Glutathione and vitamin C, I don't yet know a lot about Glutathione however it is a food supplement used to lighten the skin as well as for other purposes.

The only supplement that I have personal experience with that actually makes the skin noticeably smoother and softer and clearer is the Xtend Life Omega 3 supplement. This provides the skin with essential fatty acids that help to reduce inflammation and normalize oily skin. It is a relatively pure source that is free from most of the contamination found in many Omega 3 oils.

I hope these are helpful for you!
