Having bad skin can be a distressing experience, particularly if you have acne in your adult life or a particularly oily complexion. Many people mistakenly believe that eating chocolate and greasy food will give you spots, but this simply isn’t the case.
Acne, for example, is actually genetic and caused by hormonal imbalances, but cases in adulthood can also be put down to a stressful lifestyle.
Temptation may get the better of you when it comes to treating problem skin and you may find yourself basting your face in cleansers, trying to scrub your skin clean or worse, picking at it.
Fear not, help is at hand! We spoke to the experts at The International Dermal Institute about how to deal with problem skin. Here are 10 top tips to help you clear up your complexion.
Acne is a real problem for people and can continue well into later life.
I've been through the full spectrum of treatments and I'm a 30 year old male, from base 1 antibiotics(eg..doxycycline,eurthromycin and various topicals) right through to Dermatologist only prescribed Roaccutane,this drug cannot be obtained by your G.P as mentioned earlier and is a very dangerous drug. After contracting bowel disease from taking this drug my self i ended up losing my large colon at 21 years old and ended up with an ileostomy(a bag attached to my abdomen) for the rest of my life and the loss of my 20's and still continue to battle this disease to this day,its a quick fix but believe you me look at the amount of civil cases in relation to this so called 'Cure' drug and you will see its dangers.
People have also failed to mention that congestion of the liver can lead to bad skin and a great tonic for this is Milk Thistle its a great for clearing your complexion and for reducing inflammation to promote a softer and healthy complexion.

4.in every night mix in a bowl a half of teaspoon with honey, a big slice of lemon and put on ur spots, let 30 min.then wash with warm water, then cold water...u will see a soft face after some days...
5.once per week add in a cup an yolk(for dry skin) or an egg(for fat skin, oily skin), mix well with a teaspoon of honey and a half of lemon.let for 30-40 min to action, unmoved, then wash with water.
