Acne Fighters: 8 Natural Remedies for Acne

[@moonmaiden4197]

surprised they didn't mention sugar. that's the number one cause of acne for many people, myself included.

[@tirdadvakshoori6138]

You are so right ,, sugar is number 1 in the list of acne causing foods,, really strange that they did not mention it.

[@MaximilianImaging]

i had it extremely bad too......... and the only cure that worked for me was WATER...... H2O, FREE...... IT'S THE ONLY THING THAT REALLY WORKS. make sure to drink at least 8-10 oz every 2 hours and you will see a SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE.

[@lheslie5424]

There are more videos and dr axe said that ..

[@oshunchango9448]

Gluten is sugar just to inform you.

[@glenicejohnson5057]

Moon Maiden Dr. Axe mentioned it. There are more videos about acne that they have presented and sugar was mentioned.

[@tkitt2371]

1. eliminate gluten 2. no dairy (fermented is better if you really want it) 3. fermented foods 4. tea tree oil 5. frankincense oil 6. turmeric 8. probiotics 9. bone broth

[@stinky242]

I'm 47. Battling acne and cystic acne my whole life. Definately try all of these things first. Try everything! All I have to say is that my derm suggested accutane/zenatane and I finally said yes. I can't believe I waited so long. Worst side effect was dry lips. I'm so happy.

[@nicknamean]

I found out that by not eating anything that contains wheat, milk or large amounts of sugar, I was able to eliminate all of my acne issues. Btw I used to be on accutane and all the alphabet topical creams....wish I knew this when I was back in my teen years

[@marulising6856]

I'm Asian. I grow up eating rice during BREAKFAST, LUNCH & DINNER!!! It's harrrrrdddd

[@interceptor9121]

Maru Lising rice is gluten free! You're okay!

[@jasonwill6778]

Maru Lising haha me too 😂

[@colintheodore8657]

Maru Lising its the sugar in rice which helps the bacteria grow eat high fiber like wheat and fruits

[@jhanzelmipalar4975]

Maru Lising ikr😂😂😂😂

[@cocoyoung8591]

Maru Lising hahahahahahah team Asian

[@robredo9852]

In terms of supplements I would recommend Vitamin D and Zinc. In addition, try to get your omega 3's in through salmon, mackerel, sardines etc. Also some of those oils you mentioned can be highly comedogenic, such as coconut, so need to be careful when applying them to the skin.

[@robredo9852]

Unfortunately ALA doesn't get converted very well into EPA and DHA (less than 5%) so you're barely getting any omega 3 from the sources that you mentioned, even though they are good for you. You need to eat some fish, or take fish oil instead. Salmon, mackerel and sardines are lower on the food chain so are very safe in terms of mercury levels. Definitely avoid shark, swordfish etc.

[@robredo9852]

You're only converting about 5% so you're gonna need a shit ton of chia, flax and walnuts. Both Dr Rhonda Patrick as well as Chris Kresser has talked about this in depth on Joe Rogans podcast. I suggest you take a look at those. I'm not trying to have a go because those foods that you mentioned are very good for you, but not for the purposes of getting omega 3 in your diet. I add chia seeds to my smoothies because of their fibre content for example. An algae supplement is a good idea.

[@tirdadvakshoori6138]

I am nearly 100 years old and still get pimples !!! and in my case dairy products cause pimples, also sugary stuff cause breakouts, hopefully when reach the age of 150 I will be acne free... LOL...

[@locreciapelham5309]

Everything you've stated is spot on! I've struggled with acne for years. At 48 I eliminated gluten at what do you know, acne gone. Keep up the great work with informing people of the truth!

[@ManLikeAce]

Yellow dock, sarsaparilla, black walnut, red onion and cayenne pepper

[@user-kl1on3nw7y]

don't use coconut ,olive and avocado oils they are very good internally but they will block your pores ,use jojoba or rose hip instead or even sweet almond oil.

[@Bonasita2]

Hamza h jojoba oil is wonderful. It's close to our natural skin oil. Very soothing and soaks in quickly!

[@sparkishay1499]

Oils depend entirely on the individual. I use coconut oil with a few drops of lavender and while it doesn't really help my acne (neither makes it better nor worse), it has completely regulated the oil on my face. I used to be so greasy, I swore you could cook an egg with the oil. Now I'm normal-looking again.

[@June-qw4mc]

right

[@winonaw241]

Because of acne, I’m not confident anymore ( and I become stressed all the time

[@emanonymous]

Use pure no alcohol witchhazel when you are at your greasiest, make sure you moisturize after you shower, and if you have face acne sleep with a damp hot cloth over your pillow and change nightly

[@lpk1624]

Hi, May i know what is the best branded 100% pure natural Tea tree oil? I am from India.

[@Sjtoolsie]

I eliminated dairy and cut down sugar and fast food and drank a ton of water and no breakouts at all, I just need to help my discoloration

[@brooklee5374]

YES! This is all amazing advice! I also believe acne starts on the inside.

[@nav8475]

Hey, can you do a video about acne scars as well?

[@kyliekam1878]

👍👌

[@afnanaldimasi]

Please!!!

[@dee468]

PLZ!!!!

[@angeliqueskerritt617]

John Mcleveish make a paste with baking soda an lemon into a mask apply 15 mins then rinse twice a day also rose hip oil vitamin e oil 5000 mg

[@nav8475]

What if you don't have light skin?

[@luxe-zone-butterfly_]

Thank u for sharing! I took my son to a dermatologist for acne and he was subscribed atopic cream and oral pills. I have always believed that eating the wrong foods can cause breakouts and was told otherwise by the dermatologist. Thank u for assuring my thoughts on acne!

[@ninjabreadgirl]

I hate that doctors preach that food doesn't affect the body/face! It is so obvious that it does!

[@honeyqueen28]

??::?;

[@tirdadvakshoori6138]

You are so right, sometimes I think Doctors are just like programmed robots and repeat the same wrong info over and over again..

[@AtypicalPaul]

I couldn't agree more that food is medicine. I almost died from a bone marrow disease and got down to 89lbs at 5'10". I learned a lot through my research on natural healing and foods such as fermented cabbage. Yummy! Lol and very good for you and your intestinal flora.

[@vanniepirmal4721]

is hard to have acne I have it for months and it's embarrassing it's really hard to have this painful pimple on my face i didn't no wat to do I cry every day looking at my face went to doctor and nothing help then I started to used aloe on my face it's help alot i drink alot of green tea cut off milk.. today I still do have acne but atlease i am getting better... for everyone who's have acne it's not the end of the world acne doesn't Define who we r yes it's embarrassing but trust me it do have an end to it 😅

[@stanloonauglies9358]

Gluten messed me up so much. It makes me tired and gives me forehead acne. So hard to get rid of it though! I’m going for rice, oats and quinoa now instead.

[@raji986]

I am an Indian and suffering from adult acne since 2016 ..and it’s enough time to get back my previous skin . I visited bunch of dermatologists in these yrs nothing helped me so far be it in no dairy and no sweets diets along with antibiotics and acutane and tca peels ## and pimples are not genetic my parents never had pimples and m not having Pcod ..be urself Nd enjoy food 😛.

[@newpersonatuni]

What about butter? or ghee?

[@dee468]

KERATOSIS PILARIS!!! Please do a video on that. PLZZZZ

[@PK-mx7nf]

Cold/lukewarm showers only. Many times keratosis pilaris is caused by dry skin. I had it myself and it went away by doing this. Good luck

[@dee468]

Thanks

[@coredadventure1]

Coconut oil made my acne way worse . Tea tree oil I put on my cystic acne made it double in size!!

[@thecouriersixx4279]

thats weird

[@bessbarnes6062]

Coconut oil is not supposed to go on your face because it clogges your pores.

[@YasminG93]

I think its also important to mention the effect of sugars on the gutt usually promoting "bad" bacteria as candida. Do you think consuming apple cider vinegar on daily basis can also help? (Great channel and knowledge by the way)

[@jadedj5385]

Wheatgrass juice helped me out quite a bit as I leaned away from junk food.

[@kerenjones8204]

B6 vitamin is the key for teens!!!! Try B Complex

[@NiveenKaddas]

Thanks for the tip. My daughter is taking accutane pills. I took her to more than 3 doctors. All said she must take the pills. I hate seeing her taking them everyday and want her to stop. None of the doctors admitted that she will get side effects im the future. I believe they really are sales pple and dont care to learn about side effects. How can i ensure she detoxifies the pills ?

[@manny4971]

Apple cider vinegar

[@moon1996sak]

what about sugar it should be the number 1 thing to eliminate. .sugar was the main cause of my acne ...i stopped sugar and my acne stopped. .

[@normasuarez153]

moon sak what about fruits?

[@Phoenix-uy7nm]

Sugar in fruits is almost certainly fine because it comes along with bunches of fiber, meaning you won't get a big glycemic reaction from it. It is added sugars that are the problem.

[@iascheerleader123]

Excellent video!! I started doing all of these tips and it greatly helped my acne! However, I still breakout around my chin, which I think is hormonal. Any tips??

[@fatma-si5os6ni7]

Thanks handsome....those are really effective remedies.

[@staywithmoli2474]

Do I need to limit the amount of the yoghurt? Thanks very very much!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rogueray558]

there are people that are eating so much junk food so much sugar so much peanuts.. how come they don't have acne??? how come they have clean skin??

[@hns1320]

Rogue Ray good point. It pisses me off that he is basically saying to starve while other people eat fast food and have clear skin. There has to be more science to it...

[@JaceLightwood0623]

Some people are more sensitive than others to damaging compounds

[@lz.2440]

+hns 13 they aren't acne prone. they can eat crap and never wash their faces and still have good skin but they are unhealthy internally. once you start getting pimples anything and everything can continue inflammation and acne and turn into a cycle.

[@MonsterCaffeine]

eat a whole-foods plant-based diet and say goodbye to acne

[@boanerges149]

MonsterCaffeine what is plant based food ?

[@beyzaaydn2974]

I eat plant based but I have acne also I eat almost too clean 😣😣

[@lheslie5424]

In my case noo its hard for women

[@jessicamyers8559]

I use frankincense essential oil in the natural night cream I make and sell in my etsy shop! One of my best sellers!

[@TheVivaldinio]

everything causes acne these days.

[@ninjabreadgirl]

That's because the food industry is fucked up. I hate that I'm so addicted to sugar and bread..

[@purplekitkatemily]

Gingerbread Girl drink tea (the one that dr. axe recommended for sugar cravings specifically)

[@brandonwalrecht399]

Lymph system

[@Minadarling119]

its the gut, the bad bacteria imbalance comes out through the skin as acne I had severe acne, and I cured it by listening to no gluten/dairy/soy and eating probiotics which is gluten/dairy/soy free called pro45 on Amazon.

[@stanloonauglies9358]

Karima McMurdy not true, only the bad ones.

[@sherifmohamed85]

Thank you very much; this was very helpful.

[@senorabratt]

thank you for the valuable information. I love turmeric and I have taken supplements in the past but I always had to discontinue after 1 week. My skin would turn orangey yellow. What would you recommend to avoid this? golden milk?

[@caseycapece5439]

Hi there! I'm a big fan of bulletproof coffee in the morning. Do I also need to cut out my ghee? Thank you.

[@katrinamac853]

What brand of essential oil do you recommend for frankincense to take internally?

[@joshd4285]

How well do these methods work for cystic acne? Im also on accutane, will these help much?

[@monicaalan9878]

I like your receipes so much .

[@sherinhb]

Can soy cause acne I use herbalife nutrition and the meal replacement is vegan but with soy protein

[@PatChristine]

Becarefull with tea tree oil....is so estrogenic!!

[@constructive_time]

I hear so often that eggs are a no-go for those of us with acne. What are your thoughts on pasture raised eggs? Also, I've implemented apple cider vinegar shots along with probiotics and am curious as to the best time to take them? And can they be taken together? -Lola

[@Phoenix-uy7nm]

Eggs definitely never helped my skin. I stopped eating them for ethical reasons (male baby chicks get thrown into a grinder or gassed to death in the egg industry). Since then my skin has gotten better, but it could be due to other reasons like changing my diet overall. Plus they're loaded with cholesterol. There's really nothing healthy about them. I'd fill my plate with other things that really help skin like sweet potato, low gi fruits, or veggies. Best wishes.

[@adrianambroz4770]

Although healthy foods unfortunately are a bit too expensive

[@sparsha2011]

Gr8 information Thanks. I t will be helpful if you tell me the proportion of Tea tree oil in carrier oil for sensitive skin. What changes could be made in the intake for people living in Asia especially in India ?

[@monicaalan9878]

Thank you Dr so much . God bless!

[@chendotable8047]

Being asian, its hard to remove gluten from your diet since we eat noodles, rice, barley...again not everyone can afford a gluten-free alternative..

[@bhagyasooriyabandara9306]

😥 yeah how can we 💔

[@Carcassbits11]

Rice

[@geraldinebilbao3095]

Hi. Would this also be effective for eczema.

[@brilliantcreationsbycheryl787]

Love your information!

[@jennjack4131]

Dr Axe and team - my dermatologist asked me to avoid sugar in all forms. would that help??

[@sameermurmu4181]

Sir here is my doubt, u said that 'no dairy' in 2nd point..but u also said consume fermented foods as mentioned in 3rd point...but milk is a dairy food as well as comes in fermented food...so is it good to drink milk..?

[@zerogravity737]

Sameer Murmu He asked to give it up for about 2-3 weeks.

[@anee7163]

Just wow 😊! Superb channel

[@cieradennis2486]

could you do a video on eczema

[@marciarosa5897]

I have been using tree oil every night before bed and it has not help my acne at all. It is worse sometimes

[@oc1253]

I have a question. If anybody KNOWS please answer. But i’ve eaten everything ive wanted all my life and i would never break out as bad. Ive always had a little bit of acne, but it just recently got really bad. And im currently eating healthier than before. Does this mean that my diet isnt the problem? Or do you develope these “gut problems” or “food allergies” or whatever you want to call them over time? Im 19 and out of school. My breakouts werent nearly as bad when i was younger and in school. It got really bad this past year though.

[@UseYourManners123]

Malaluka oil? How do you spell that?

[@Singita.S]

What about cod liver oil?

[@Chocolatry]

What about lemon juice...manuka honey......????

[@susanweiner860]

Hi, anything to add on body acne,like on your back? Esp in very hot & humid weather? Do unnatural clothing fabrics, leather car seats? Is this internal as well?

[@ozzysolis5123]

Is drinking a protein shake bad for you? Because I drink one everyday after I work out

[@ninjabreadgirl]

Yeah some protein powders have really bad ingredients, check the ingredients list. I would suggest a plant based protein powder :)

[@ozzysolis5123]

Gingerbread Girl oh ok thank you the flavor is banana creame but I'll check tomorrow

[@RickRubinesque]

I'm switching to a collagen protein powder to cut out the dairy. Cheaper too.

[@frauj242]

If only I found this earlier maybe i had prevented my acne from coming. What if you have food allergies like chicken or nuts like almond? What other substitutes can i consume?

[@daggr77]

Do you combine all these remedies at one time or you pick one or two remedies and try together....thank you

[@shanefetzer2200]

daggr77 I’m doing no dairy and no gluten for a month to help clean my gut out. I also use tea tree oil at night. So I’m doing 3 of the 8 right now. I wouldn’t do all of them at the same time but I don’t see a problem with doing 4 or 5. For instance dairy free, gluten free, tea tree oil and bone broth would probably work well together.

[@daggr77]

Shane Fetzer Tnx very much for your response

[@nativetimber7738]

All good info but do not use coconut or olive oil on your skin...believe me I know from experience. Rather use castor oil it will work much better with the tea tree oil or frankincense....other than that this is great info !!!!!

[@dee468]

[@ninjabreadgirl]

You must fix your diet first and foremost. Eat a lot of vegetables and fruits, no processed foods or fast food. Drink lots of water and get lots of sleep. You also need to establish a good skin care routine. Find a good cleanser, I use one from Sephora (it's worth it to get a more expensive cleanser, after all, this is your FACE!) and a good moisturiser to use day and night. Wash your face in the morning and at night. You should see results in a few weeks... your body will begin to heal.

[@creobeast36ty]
