Breaking Out? - Organic Acne Treatments are the only way to go!

You've seen it before. Too many times than you wish to count. Big, ugly, should-be-named, PIMPLES.

They appear, and usually at the most inconvenient of times.

We don't claim to be tree huggers  or hippies, but we do know that putting harsh chemicals on your face and into your body to cure Acne is NOT the way to go.

We don't often think of it, but our skin is the largest organ in our bodies. It reflects the state of our entire system and is usually a good indication of our internal health.

If you are breaking out like crazy, we recommend starting off with some of these tips:

1. Drink at least 4 quarts of water a day. 
2. Try Taking Black Current Seed Oil, Borage, or Primrose Oil daily. You can get them at a healthfood store, or cheaply through us.
3. You may also want to think on trying NatuCLEAR Organic Acne Treatments, Acne Supplements. They are fairly inexpensive, and help tremendously in clearing Acne, 100% organically. 

If you're breaking out, organic is the way to go.

• WHY OATS? Oatmeal contains healthy fats. When they come into contact with your skin, these fats help to add moisture to soften and repair your skin.
• WHY COCONUT OIL? Coconut oil works wonders as a moisturizer for all skin types, especially dry skin and aging skin, leaving you refreshed and looking wide-awake. The fat in the oil helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles without any irritation.
• WHY OLIVE OIL? It is a great skin moisturizer, in part because it contains linoleic acid, a compound not made by the body, but which prevents water from evaporating.
• WHY ROSEMARY OIL? Rosemary essential helps in toning your skin and removing dryness.
