Alternatives to laser for acne

Wendy asked: ‘I’m 33 and I have a little bit of acne and large pores!! What can I do? I was thinking about laser, but it’s expensive.’

Yes, laser is expensive and you can solve the problem in a much cheaper way.

There are some important elements you need to keep in balance: how much water you drink, amount of exercise, stress levels, and efficient digestion.

Food. Daily eat fresh vegetables, fruit and fish to support your skin. Fatty, oily foods will show in your skin and cause blemishes.

Water. The body needs to flush out all toxins. If you don’t have good hydration your skin will suffer. Drink 2 litres of water daily.

Exercise. Getting active helps you flush out toxins with sweat, so the skin cleans itself. More importantly the ‘happy’ endorphin hormones are activated. which is important for the skin as well for the soul.

Stress. If stress levels are high, the glands may produce more sebum which causes blemishes.

Digestion. For a healthy digestive system you need regular daily bowel movements. Eat prunes, muesli, husks (from wholegrains), fresh fruit (kiwifruit is good) and vegetables.

Beauty routine. Nurture your skin with ‘food’ (ingredients in product) regularly and consistently if you desire healthy looking skin. Avoid chemicals as they harm your health and skin. Some acne products have alcohol in which dries skin out, so the glands then produce more sebum, meaning more blemishes.
