How can I make my skin look better naturally?

Question

I break out near myperiod every month.  I think it is becuz my bf is so dirty and wears the same stinky t-shirts to bed every night.   I dont want to take any drugs.   What kind of natural treatments do you guys use to make your skin not break out?  Or just look better in general?

Answer 1

I've seen good advice to wash your pillow case every week.

Answer 2

I've been reading about this and have trouble finding definitive info.  Mayoclinic site has an article by a dermatologist who recommends a good "skin diet".

His vision is that leafy vegetables, salmon, tomatoes, blueberries etc are good for the skin.  Then he also says that there's evidence that fats and processed sugars are bad for the skin.  But where is he getting this information?  I don't want be following another case of bad science like the saturated fats debate.

Comments

can you explain about saturated fat?  i thought saturated fat was bad for you clearly.

Answer 3

My moms used to used honey on her face - kept her skin glowing into her 70's..  thinking about trying it myself

also gotta quit smoking that is real bad for skin

Answer 4

make him change his tshirts more often number one.

maybe consider yasmin as a pill - helps clear up your skin

what about a nightly skin care routine if you dont have one?

exfoliate alternate days, and a gentle wash before bed?
