If you get virgin coconut oil (purchased at your local health food store) and after washing your face, pat dry and while slightly moist, rub in a small amount of VCO. My mom had a place on the top of her nose, in the middle that would not heal and I gave her some VCO to use. Within 2 weeks, it had healed and the scar is barely visable. I used to suffer from large pores and blackheads with the breakouts. This is a cooling oil and therefore, is drying. So it is a healing oil. Just type in "beautiful skin remedies" on this website and read what everyone has to say about VCO.Replied by Elizabeth (Nashville, Tn) on 02/28/2011
First I would start with an all natural lye soap or pine tar soap to deeply cleanse and wash the oil away. Get a cottonball and dip it in a solution of one half ACV and one half H202. Rub this into the skin in a circular motion, making sure to saturate the whole face. Let air dry and then apply oil free moisturizer with a couple drops of tea tree oil. Lastly, use a sulfur acne mask, like end-zit or proactive, and dab this on every pimple and zit you see. Leave on all night.
Also, I would invest in some Salicyclic Acid peels. You can buy it online.. Just google under "skin labratories" and it should bring the site up. I use the 20% strength peel once a week for a couple weeks and than take a break for a month or so, and then do it again, and so on and so on. I think I pay $18 and the bottle lasts about 3-4 months or so.
I still break out slightly but it's not nearly as bad, and it's much more managable. An added bonus is that the scars are fading nicely and I have much smoother skin.
