Skin concerns?
Health Boundaries Bite
Cure acne for under a dollar? I didn't have acne in high school
because I swabbed my face with cotton balls soaked in rubbing
alcohol. My skin couldn't break out because I kept killing the bacteria.
When my teenage son had acne and came from London for a visit I
showed him the alcohol trick, and while it stung, he stuck with it. The
acne went away, most of it in less than a week, much to his surprise.
Periodically when I'm shopping a young clerk has intense acne and I
want to explain about alcohol. But so far I've been afraid that I'd hurt
feelings more than help. However, silence doesn't feel good.
Breakouts on your neck? The periodontist I went to listed breakouts
on your neck as a possible symptom of dental infection. He said the
old kind of dental implants I have, with a bumpy surface, are prone to
infection. He also said that the more Ibuprofen I took to stop the pain
the more the Ibuprofen weakened my jaw bone thereby encouraging
infection.
I had no idea that Ibuprofen (Advil) weakens the jaw bone, but
apparently it does, as does Fozimax which, ironically, people are
prescribed to strengthen bone.
If you have break outs on your neck, have been feeling tired, and you
don't have money to go to a dentist, vitamin C works well at
controlling infection. I found that 12 grams a day taken in sets of 3
grams with a lot of liquid works for me. A gram is 1,000mg. That
may be too much or too little for you. (I used 26 grams a day when
the infection was causing swelling and extreme pain. It took two days
to feel good again.)
If you take more vitamin C than is needed to combat an infection the
vitamin C will cause loose stool. Once it does that you've taken the
maximum amount your body can use at that time and the rest is being
eliminated. Sometimes the loose stool is also eliminating bad bacteria,
like h.pylori, that has taken up residence in your stomach and
intestines and keeps you from properly digesting and getting the
magnesium and vitamin B12 from food you eat. If you have had
whole corn kernels in your stool, you may notice that after a vitamin
C "cleanout" everything is better digested. Also, it's because I'm tall
and heavy that I need to use the amount of vitamin C I do to achieve
results.
Vitamin C in amounts over 250mg may not be good for people who
have a particular gene and diabetes.
If you don't have diabetes then it's good to test out varying amounts
of vitamin C to see how it goes.
Be sure to drink a lot of liquid with the vitamin C (or any medicine).
Brown Spots? Sebacious keritosis brown spots, the ones that have a
dry, bumpy surface that frequently detaches, respond well to a
dusting of baking soda, morning and night. Mine became lighter and
smaller. But, I was dusting my torso while I stood on my deck, and
now it's too cold to do that. Unless I fix my shower where a leak
caused mold, so that I had the tiles and moldy plasterboard removed
after the leak was fixed, I don't have a place to apply baking soda
during the winter.
Breakouts on your chest? When I dusted baking soda on the brown
spots under my breasts my skin broke out. I checked Google and
found that many people have breakouts on their chests when they
exercise, and of those who wrote on forums about it, most attributed
the problem to toxins being brought to the surface by the exercise.
Most felt the benefits of the exercise outweighed the discomfort of the
breakouts.
I wondered if the breakouts were like a boil, only scattered instead of
being big and in one place. When I Googled for natural remedies for
boils I found references to turmeric. So, I bought a small jar of the
spice at the grocery and added it to my brown rice.
Not only did the turmeric stop the breakout on my chest, it stopped
nasal drainage that I've had since I was a teen. No more does
drainage keep me from sleeping soundly throughout the night.
After two weeks I felt that all was cured. I stopped putting turmeric
into my brown rice. Almost immediately the nasal drainage started up
again. So I now use a teaspoon or two of turmeric in my brown rice
on a daily basis. Olive oil helps reduce the intensity of its flavor, and
Greek Oregano blends nicely when I add tomatoes. I also use either
crushed chili peppers or black pepper to round out the flavor.
I buy my turmeric from the health food store now, a pound at a time.
It's quite cost effective that way.
Large pores? In high school I read that washing ones face with hot
water, then splashing on cold water reduces the size of pores. So, I've
always followed a hot face wash with a cold splash to snap my pores
closed. I think it works because my pores are pretty small.
Except, when I was living in my condo with toxins I began to see my
pores getting larger and more coarse looking. Because I didn't know
about the toxins for a couple of years I kept wondering why my face
was looking more and more as if I smoked.
Once the hydrogen sulfide in my condo was identified and I had the
outdoor toilet pit under my bedroom dug out I felt a lot better, but my
pores did not return to pre-toxin condition, although they improved.
The reason toxins enlarge pores is that toxins interfere with oxygen
availability throughout the body, so, I think that if I'd been eating
more veggies it might have helped oxygenate my blood and reduce the
stress to my skin that ultimately resulted in larger pores.
Since vitamin B12 reduced my symptoms from the toxins: how badly
I lost my balance, was numb and forgetful, I believe that if I'd had
more B12 shots or used methylcobalamin lozenges while I was living
in the toxins it might have mitigated the damage to my skin
dramatically. (But, I'll never know for sure since I didn't try it at the
time.)
What I do know for sure is that milk thistle taken as a supplement
removes toxins from the liver and through the skin; and Epsom salts
in the bath removes toxins. So, if you smoke put Epsom salts in your
bath a few times a week and soak to remove toxins as well as relax,
and take milk thistle, at least for a week or two every month.
Dry, lusterless skin? When I had my deck redone and the first man I
hired, who did an abysmal job, showed me something valuable about
face skin. He was ten years older than me, but his skin looked ten
years younger, so I paid attention to the vitamins he said he took each
day. At the time I was taking mostly B12, a multi, and vitamin C.
Based on what he was taking I added alpha-lipoic acid, lecithin,
CoQ10, milk thistle and whey protein to my daily "diet" and one or all
of them has definitely improved my skin. Plus, I drink more water
now.
The dry skin on my legs, however, is a different story. All my life that
I can remember my legs were very dry skinned. Later in life I found
my back itching, especially during the winter, because it was so dry.
That changed dramatically, to my surprise, when I began having B12
replacement. I knew B12 was good for nerves, memory, balance and
things like that. But dry skin? I hadn't heard that vitamin B12 could
reduce dry skin. Nevertheless, the fact was that my legs stopped
looking scaly for the first time in decades and for several winters now
my back has not itched. So, it appears that vitamin B12 somehow
helps regulate moisture and natural body oils, perhaps via the nerves.
I've noticed that when I'm stressed and forget to use methylcobalamin
lozenges (B12) my tinitus, that awful ringing in the ears, starts up and
then if I remember to look at my legs, they invariably have dry skin
sticking up here and there looking like small parched fields in a
draught.
Puffiness? Puffiness can be caused by insufficient sleep, too many
vitamins, too little water, too much vinegar in ones food, as well as a
variety of other things.
If you are noticing puffiness the first thing to do is to drink a lot more
water and also green tea. Green tea is excellent at flushing out things
that cause puffiness. Plus, I've recently read that it contains significant
amounts of quercetin, which is very good for skin -- some accounts
suggest that adding yellow onions to ones food, because they are a
good source of quercetin, helps reduce the likelihood of getting skin
cancer.
If puffiness is from insufficient sleep it's a bit more tricky since if
you're having trouble sleeping you can't just decide to sleep more and
do it.
During August, 2008, I was under way too much stress and I couldn't
sleep due to ongoing legal problems stemming from the outdoor toilet
pit under my condo, to include another foreclosure action. I barely got
4 or 5 hours of sleep a night, and that's with no nap during the day.
The result was puffy bags under my eyes setting the tone for my
whole face.
What's peculiar is that when I was fat my face was pudgy so it didn't
have wrinkles and that part of being fat I quite liked.
Puffiness is not like pudginess. Instead of looking less wrinkled my
face looks a bit wilted when it is puffy and resembles a balloon that
doesn't have enough air in it.
While B12 helps provide healthy sleep patterns, and melatonin is an
additional healthy aid to improved sleep patterns, stress can defeat
even these strong supports. A banana before bed can help you get
extra sleep during the night, but it may not stop you from repeatedly
waking. Apple Cider Vinegar is great an making sleep happen, but
when it is taken regularly it affects the fingernails making horizontal
valleys in them, which is what I had when I was living in the toxins,
so I don't think vinegar should be used regularly.
Wrinkles? Dry skin and puffy skin exaggerate the look of wrinkles
and stress can make a horrendous number of wrinkles appear in a
very short time: Once in London I wasn't well and it was a
particularly stressful time; when I looked in the mirror my face was
that of an old woman in National Geographic, photographed for the
topography of wrinkles making her face "interesting".
I was shattered to think I looked like that. But when I got better the
wrinkles went away. So, that's really encouraging, right?
Now my face looks best when I do a few minutes of exercises with it
every night and use a cotton ball with alcohol to remove any
remaining dirt from the day, followed by petroleum jelly as a major
moisturizer. (Not elegant, I know, but back in high school I read
about a model who used Vaseline on her face as a moisturizer and I
was WAY impressed given how great her skin looked.)
I also think my face looks better, less wrinkled, when I walk around
my garden for five minutes first thing in the morning to stimulate my
metabolism.
Sunburn? Okay, I know we're "supposed" to use sunblock and
thereby avoid getting burned. But! I've always worried about not
getting enough vitamin D if I was using sunscreen, and now it looks
as if my concern is born out by the experience of those getting cancer
not from the sun but lack of vitamin D.
I was very worried some years ago when my boyfriend drove a little
sports car with the top perpetually down, even all the way to Las
Vegas.

I was very worried some years ago when my boyfriend drove a little

- My poor nose, it was so sunburned even
with 30 SPF sunscreen that I was sure I'd
get something horrible.
- But, so far so good until I got a horrible
sunburn during a recent spring day when I
wasn't paying attention to how long I'd
been in the sun. When I saw how red my
nose was I was extremely worried and
decided to try rubbing the inside of leaves
from my aloe plant on my nose, arms and
legs, just in case it might help.
- Well, I didn't peel at all. I don't know how
that was possible, but it was a fact.
- You can buy aloe in bottles, but I think
using fresh leaves from the plant is
see if they reduce the intensity of a brown, age spot on my face. --

Points to Remember
1. Swabbing your face with rubbing alcohol on cotton
balls kills bacteria and clears breakouts. (The stinging
tells you its working. For faster results hold the cotton
ball longest where it stings the most.)
2. Breakouts on your neck can be a sign of a dental
infection. Rubbing alcohol applied topically reduces the
symptoms/breakout. Vitamin C with lots of water can
control not just the symptoms of the infection but the
infection itself, even getting rid of quite significant pain.
3. Breakouts on your chest may respond to turmeric
added to your food. Mine did. And, I got to like the
flavor. Turmeric also stopped my nasal drainage. I add
a teaspoonful or two to my brown rice on a daily basis.
4. Sebacious keritosis brown spots are reduced in size,
number and intensity of darkness by a daily dusting
(sort of patting it on) with baking soda.
5. Washing your face with hot water following by a
splash of cold water shrinks pores. Large pores can
result from toxins which cause a lack of oxygen. Milk
thistle as a supplement and Epsom salts baths eliminate
toxins and help keep pores lovely and small. It may be
that ample amounts of vitamin B12 help reduce the
effects of toxins from smoking, smog and chemicals, in
the same way ample amounts of vitamin B12 reduce
memory loss, numbness and nerve pain.
6. Dry skin happens from the inside out, so drink
water, eat veggies, olive oil, fruit and nuts and
supplement your diet with alpha-lipoic acid, vitamin
B12, lecithin, and whey protein.
7. If you're not getting enough sleep you aren't going to
feel well, and your skin is not going to look any better
than you feel. Adequate sleep is essential for healthy,
beautiful skin. Since vitamin B12 helps combat stress
and regulate sleep patterns, it can also assist your skin
in looking rested and happy.
8. Stress depresses our metabolism resulting in
puffiness. As little as five minutes of walking first thing
in the morning stimulates your metabolism and within a
month reduces puffiness and gives a fresher, more
supple appearance to your skin, especially that of your
face.
9. The sun is good for us, to include our skin, but we
need to pay attention to how long we are in the sun and
doing that is healthier than using sun block because of
the vitamin D we get from the sun. Aloe is effective
when rubbed on an over exposed area of skin and can
keep the burn from peeling. Fresh aloe from a plant is
excellent and available for years, even decades with
very little attention. Eating yellow onions and drinking
green tea provide our bodies with quercetin which
helps to keep us from getting skin cancer.
10. I wanted a rotary brush so badly, but the best
reviewed ones were out of my price range. Then I
remembered a small stain removing rotary brush that
Tide provided a few years ago. I used it to successfully
removed difficult stains, clean marks off my Saltillo,
and now I tried it on my face. To my amazement
skimming it gently in circles over my face made a huge
difference. I surmise that the tops of wrinkles have a
generous amount of dry skin that the rotary brush
happily removes.
11. Skin care products are great and give a real boost
not only to skin but to the sense that we are taking
steps toward better skin. I have genuinely had people
comment on my skin after beginning to use skin care
products. BUT, skin care products are not a substitute
for nutrition, sleep, hydration and stress reduction.
Though, skin care products may help reduce stress by
their inherent relaxing qualities.
