Beautiful Skin Remedies
The first step to beautiful skin is to remove make up, oil and environmental contaminants from your skin. Most facialists recommend cleansing your skin twice a day. Exfoliation is the next step to remove dead skin cells from the skin's surface. Exfoliating makes way for radiant, glowing skin and maximizes moisturizing effectiveness. Below are many reader-recommended home remedies for exfoliation; however baking soda appears to take the lead for themost popular all-natural scrub!

10/02/2007: Susan from Porterville, California writes: "I read the email dated 7/25/07 from Teresa of Morristown Tennessee on her routine for Fountain of Youth. She mentioned getting acupressure techniques for the face from a book written in the 1970's. I am wanting to find out the name of this book and the author. Is there anyway you can get this information for me? Thank you."
07/25/2007: Teresa from Morristown, Tennessee replies: "I'm 44 and recently had a 19 year old ask me out. I bend over for a few minutes at least once a day to let the blood rush into my face. I also use facial accupressure techniques, which I found out how to do from reading an old book written in the '70s. I've been doing shiatisu facial massage on myself for twenty years, I found this in a book. I also mix rose hips and vitamin E oil and a few drops of ACV into peanut oil and rub my body and face down nightly. I recently started color breathing where you inhale the imagined color pink, (Yvonne Martine's technique) and this is like a mini face lift!"
EC: We went searching just now and found a book in our collection from 1976 called Shiatzu Japanese Pressure Point MassageZone Therapy Book by Anika Bergson and Vladimir Tuchak. It covers the entire body, not just the face but may be the book Teresa is referring to. Another book by Anika Bergson from 1974 is Zone Therapy Acupressure Techniques. You can buy these books on Amazon for pennies.
10/03/2007: Susan from Porterville, California replies: "Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for the information you were able to give me about the books on acupressure. I ordered both books today. I discovered your website about 3 weeks ago and LOVE it! I am 56 years old and I want to stave off the signs of ageing with natural items as opposed to commercial products. I have begun taking the ACV, baking soda and water twice a day and after only 3 weeks I have noticed a brightness and deweyness to my skin. I am going to start adding the Blackstrap molasses as well. As soon as I receive the books on Shiatzu I will incorporate those exercises along with the ACV formula. Thank you again for all your help."
10/10/2008: Teresa from Morristown , TN replies: "I just read the comment from Susan of Porterville, Ca requesting the name of the book I use for acupressure. One book I find invaluable is Acupressure, Acupuncture Without Needles, The Miracle of Chinese Healing Through your Fingertips by J.V. Cerney. The publisher was Cornerstone Library, NY and the book was republished in 1976 after initially being published in 1974. I'm sorry I haven't answered before but I painted my house and I couldn't lay hands on the book. I just found it today. I have another good acupressure book. When I find it, I'll write and give you the title and author."
11/25/2008: Therese (violetbunnee{@}yahoo.ca) from Ontario, Canada replies: "Teresa From Morristown, Tenessee Can you please tell me if the peanut il that you use is the kind form the grocery store that you cook with and also the measurements approx of the Rose hip, vitamin E peanut oil and ACV that you use? Thanks"
06/07/2009: Teresa from Morristown, Tennessee replies: "I just go out in my yard and harvest some wild rose hips. It doesn't matter how much. I take whatever I can find on the rose bushes. I bruise them with the back of a spoon to get them open so the rose hip juice can absorb into the peanut oil. Then I use commercial store bought peanut oil (wish I could afford organic) and fill most of a bottle with it, covering the bruised rose hips and add a dash of vitamin E and a dash of apple cider vinegar. I recently started adding a few drops of orange essential oil because I read about a study scientists did showing that orange scent caused people to appear six years younger."

AFRICAN RED TEA, BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES
[YEA] 11/24/2007: Nini (nineth220@yahoo.com) from Los Angeles, Ca writes: "Drinking at least 3 cups of African Red tea, commonly called Rooibos is not only beneficial to your immune system but it also helps your skin stay clear. Also applying blackstrap molasses every night for about an hour after washing your face helps smooth your skin and gives you a glow due to all the vitamins and minerals it contains, and don't forget to take atleast 2 tbspns of it daily to keep regular. I like to put it in my red tea or in some warm almond milk along with some coconut oil, yum yum! Hope this helps all of you."

(Vitamin E liquid is not an oil and will penetrate the skin well by using the Aloe as the vehicle.) I've been using this combination as an after shave for 18 years and don't have tell-tale wrinkles on my face. I'm 87 years old, and people take me for 20 years younger."

[YEA] 07/26/2008: Che (serlche(at)yahoo.com.ph) from Roxas City, Philippines writes: "My skin suffered the tear and wear of using numerous brands of different brands of cosmetics til the combination of these different chemicals being used on these cosmetics, resulted to facial skin damages. Wrinkles, and the worst which made me embarrassed everytime when people got surprised to see the black spots on my face which i knew from prolong used of differrent chemicals. I have tried numerous products to get rid of it. Some will give me an effect of two weeks but afterward the damaged on my face becomes worst. My face dont seem to response to any cosmetic, the more cosmetics i used the worst it becomes so, i thought of experimenting on natural remedies.I have started making my own formula when i came across this site which made my research more valid. Every night, as i watched tv i massage VCO on my legs and arms it made my skin so soft @ flawless. When i wear skirt, people thought i have stockings on my legs.
For my face, 3x a week, i combined
1 tsp of molasses or
honey
1/4 tsp of ACV [APPLE CIDER VINEGAR]
1/2 tsp of VCO [VIRGIN COCONUT OIL]
1 tsp of turmeric
1/2 tsp of oats
Make to a paste, splash face with warm water and gently massage the paste on your face. Let it stay 10-20minutes. Rinse it with warm water.
Then i toned my face with ACV, Hydrogen peroxide and water and moisturize my face with alternating VCO and grapeseed oil. Amazing it gradually whitened my face naturally, wrinkles free with less expenses. I am 49 yr old grandma with 3 grandchildren mistaken as more years younger than my age. Thanks to this site, it made me more creative combining the natural resources that are abundant in our country Philippines. By the way, i make my own VCO and sell to my friends also. I use VCO externally and internally as it is the cleanest and the cheapest oil on earth. I enjoy the benefit of a monolaurin found in VCO the same benefit found in a mothers milk. I rarely got sick as VCO is a natural antibiotic, that can get rid of viral @ bacterial lepid coated illnesses.Thanks to this heaven sent site and to the people who openly shares thier beneficial testimonies. God Bless Us All as we continue to spread and share the good news. Email me @ let me know how this works with you."

2 SIDE EFFECTS
[SIDE EFFECTS] 03/06/2009: Amber (a.creative.1@gmail.com) from Greensboro, NC writes: "Reaction to ACV? I stumbled upon your site earlier today while researching natural remedies for sensitive skin and came across the topic of using apple cider vinegar to cure it. I haven't actually consumed any of it just yet, but I used it after I rinsed my face with water. I put it on a cotton ball and gently rubbed my whole face, except around my eyes. I have very sensitive skin and have been struggling to find a remedy that doesn't provoke flushing/redness and burning. I think I have mild rosacea and the past two weeks for me have consisted of trying various EXPENSIVE products in hopes of finding a quality product to do the following:
-even out my skin tone because it's often blotchy/reddish in spots
-get rid of black heads (nose and chin are covered)
-brighten up my skin (it looks rather dull and lifeless)
-control the breakouts I get occasionally
-and lastly, to find a moisturizer that's not too oily but makes my skin look supple and young, as it should for a 24 year old female who drinks lots of water, doesn't tan at all, doesn't smoke and rarely drinks. (My skin looks like I'm older than I am, sadly.)
Anyhow, I digress. I applied the ACV, rinsed with cool water and for the first five minutes or so, it was fine. No problem, I though, this might just work. Well, after applying some Origins moisturizer that I haven't previously had a reaction to, my face immediately started to tingle and I could literally watch it turn red. Now it's puffy in patches and looks like I have sun burn. I'm just wondering if it's possibly a reaction to the ACV alone or if it's the combo of the moisturizer in addition to the ACV.
Any suggestions are more than welcome. I'm at my wits end with my skin. I just want it to look healthy!
Thanks!
Amber"
03/07/2009: Dianna from Austin, Tx replies: "ACV is very strong. it is similar to a chemical peel on skin - it removes the top layer and also increases blood circulation to the skin. so redness is normal - but it should go away after about 30 minutes.
try diluting the ACV 1/2 and 1/2 with water. if you still get this symptom - you can try a miracle whip facial: spread miracle whip (contains vinegar and other ingredients) on your face in a thin layer. leave it on for 10 minutes. then rub your face with your fingertips and little balls of stuff will come off. keep rubbing til no more ball of dead skin and miracle whip come off and then use a warm damp washcloth to steam your face. wipe your face clean and use cold water to splash your skin.
also it would probably be good to do clay masks. you can get bentonite clay at the health food store and some grocery stores under the name of indian healing clay. this will clean out your pores and also take off the top layer of dead skin.
i have had the best luck with using sandalwood powder to clean my skin. you can buy sandalwood powder very cheaply at indian grocery stores - it is called chandan. what i do is wet my face and hands and apply a small amount - 2 or three damp fingers dipped into the powder - onto my wet hands and massage it onto my face and neck. then i apply a warm damp cloth and steam my skin for a minute - and then wipe it off and rinse with warm and then cool water.
afterwards i apply a tiny amount of virgin coconut oil or jojoba oil"
03/09/2009: Amber (a.creative.1@gmail.com) from Greensboro , NC replies: "Thanks for your response! :) I'll try this when I get home."
04/15/2009: Kula (organically_healthy@live.com) from Waimanalo, Hawaii replies: "Maybe you should start with a diet that will help you with your skin. At this point, after hearing a lot of other suggestions, you must always remember that not everything tried works just for anyone because the symptoms sound relative to your skin condition. You are describing a problem very common to everyone, but now, step out of the box, and think outside the box. You are so busy looking to "put something else" to treat your problem skin, when it looks as if you're "adding" more problems to your current and lasting situation.
This sounds like it's time to change your diet first. Pay attention to your diet instead, and look at what you're eating. Your outer appearance reflects your insides. This may not be an "immediate" solution, but it is rewarding.
Try this:
Avocado is an awesome face food. It is abundant in essential oils and B-complex vitamins that will nourish your skin inside and out. Avocados contain a lot of niacin (vitamin B3) which is especially important for healthier skin. Niacin is anti-inflammatory, soothes irritated, red and blotchy skin. What you can do to intake your daily need is blend half an avocado with yogurt and frozen berries to make a creamy, nutty flavored morning smoothie.
Mangoes contain vitamin A which maintains and repairs skin cells. It is also an antioxidant that fights free radical damage that can prematurely age the skin, which I read in your bio that you have a problem with.
Almonds provide 150% of your daily need for vitamin E, which is great for your complexion.
Cottage Cheese contains selenium which is an essential mineral, and combining it with vitamin E will create a powerful free radical-fighting antioxidant duo.
Acerola cherries supplies 100% of your daily allowance for vitamin C. So, as an antioxidant, vitamin C fights skin damage and wrinkles, producing collagen, the structural protein in your skin.
Oysters fight pimples because they are rich in zinc. The mineral affects sebum production, a deficiency may contribute to acne. Zinc also helps boost elastin (the skin's protein) production with the aid of vitamin C.
Baked potatoes -- Eat one baked potato (w/skin); it is an essential mineral that works with vitamin C and zinc to produce the elastin fibers that support skin structure.
Mushroom is rich in riboflavin (vitamin B2). Riboflavin is involved in tissue maintenance and repair, and improves skin blemishes caused by rosacea.
Flaxseed oil is the best source of essential fatty acid that contains Omega 3s. 1tsp of flaxseed oil per day provides just enough Omega 3s to hydrate the skin. Keep in mind fatty acids also dilute sebum and unclog pores that otherwise leads to acne.
Wheat Germ is a good source of biotin, a B vitamin that is crucial to skin health. Just sprinkle wheat germ on yogurt for a tasty way to get more biotin in your diet."

[YEA] 09/25/2008: San D from Pasadena, CA writes: "Before ACV, I suffered from being over weight and acne prone skin. I discovered ACV from a good read and decided to give it a try due to its many benefits. I drink a tspn before each meal (except breakfast). The results are wonderful! My energy level went up, and I also lost weight. It wasn't an overnight success, but it worked! Just recently my husband suggested I put some on a cotton ball and use it for a couple of flare ups I had. And that was last week. Today, I can stand here and honestly say, my pores shrunk and my face is glowing. Needless to say, I've used it as a toner. I've never felt so confident."

[SIDE EFFECTS] 09/24/2008: Sara from Dubai, United Arab Emirates writes: "For about two weeks I watched my dad drink and eat all manner of things he saw on earth clinic. Soon, I saw a difference in him. His face glowed(ACV / Tomato tea), he didnt have acid reflux any more and was the most lively and fun dad I'd ever known in a long time ( compared to tired stressful, busy!).
I've got two q's.
How can I take baking soda as an exfoliator/drink?
Also, I drank ACV and I saw differences such as more energy, and I am not restless at night any more. I then found out ( on E.C.) that i can use it as an exfoliator and tried it. Sadly, on my nose I got burns which my parents describe as 'acid burns'. i also got these on my cheek. For this I used cucumber and variuos face masks.the burns on my cheek dissapeared but because I itched/scratched my nose-burn, the scar remained. It look HORRIBLE. my dad says I put too much AcV, which I now understand I did do. But I only did so because the amount was not stated. Is there anything I can do get rid do get rid of it or do I have to do the hard thing and WAIT for it to heal? It does look VERY awful! Thanx!"
09/26/2008: Kathy from Mtn City, TN replies: "EVCO -Extra Virgin Coconut Oil for your facial "burns". This works great for me. Just put some on your fingertips and spread over your red spots. You can buy at the pharmacy. Perhaps you shouldn't try vinegar again on your face since you had a reaction like that. It will work from the inside out. H202 works well on the face (hydrogen peroxide, 3% that you get from the drug store or grocery), a little on a cotton ball.
To take ACV internally, 2 TBL of ACT, 1/4 tsp of Baking Soda. Let it react then I like to add Cran-Grape juice in a 6 or 8 oz glass. I take twice a day. You can drink with purified water or spring water and add some sweetener (honey) if you need. Drink lots of water too. Restricting sugar and soft drinks works SUPER on acne also. Good Luck."
10/01/2008: Marcie from Dallas, TX, USA replies: "to help with the healing you can also get a Vitamin E capsule, puncture it and squeeze out the gel and apply it to the affected areas. it is a thick gel and it does soil so you may want to use this at night and put an old shirt or towel over your pillow so it doesn't get stained. if you have any scaring you can also apply Castor Oil to reduce/remove scar tissue."

[YEA] 06/12/2008: Mike from Seguin, TX writes: "I have been oil pulling for 4 days. I used to smoke two packs a day and drink so much coffee I ended up in the hospital with caffiene intoxication. My teeth look so much cleaner and are starting to get white. They had been terribly stained. I work nights, 12 hour shifts, and always have big black bags surrounding my eyes. These bags are almost completely gone and my skin looks so clear. I also starting drinking 2 tablespoons of ACV in 8 oz of water before each meal. My skin is really starting to glow. My energy is reaching levels I have not felt in years. I am in my mid forties. I am really starting to look younger. This upsets my wife very much. She is upset that I am being stared at now by others whenever we are out together. She sees the differences in my appearance and energy but for some reason will still not try oil pulling or ACV. I am going to start keeping a journal and track the changes in my appearance and energy. I am so pleased with the results and it has only been four days!!!! I am enjoying being "noticed" so much more when I go out. It always nice to know that others find you attractive. I FEEL GREAT!!!!!!!!! I will continue with both of these practices for the remainder of my life. It is so cheap and yet the rewards are so tremendous."

[YEA] 06/06/2008: Jaimi from Orlando, FL writes: "WOW! I have come to love the wonderful product of ACV. I have had severe allergies and sinus problems since I could walk. Chronic bronchitis, sinusitis, tonsilitis (they have lonce since been removed), rhinitis, etc... I have always taken prescription medication. However I am 8 mos pregnant and have not been able to take anything but over the counter Tylenol products. For the past 3 days I have been down and out with a severe sinus migraine, congestion and pressure. Nothing worked and I am sleep deprived! Adding these symptoms to 8mos of pregnancy spells MISERY for sure. I was desperate so I hopped online and what do you know? I found the same product that cured my husband of his pesky wart will also clear my sinuses. I only wished I found this info sooner! I took 1 tbsp of ACV with 8oz of water and downed. Then I made a mixture and put it in my veggie steamer (ACV is also a great residue cleaner) and sat over it for about 5mins. Everything started to clear up within the hour. I then rinsed with saline solution and I can breathe out of both nostrils! My headache is almost gone and the pressure almost nil! Oh and by the way the ACV steam bath is great for oily skin. I noticed a difference immediately after the face bath. I was then curious to see if this was a known rememdy for acne/skin problems and sure enough it is!!! In fact, Earth Clinic was the first hit.
I am amazed that such a simple, inexpensive product can do so much. Thank you dearly for this site."

[YEA] 03/13/2008: Len from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada writes: "I have been using apple cider vinegar for about 16 years. My mother first read it in a readers digest at a doctors office. My dad had a rash on his hand that traveled up his arm. The doc perscribed a cream that he used and didn't work at all. First my mother tried white vinegar and it helped a bit. Then she bought acv. The rash disappeared in 2 days never to reappear. I started using it for dry, rashy skin myself and it works. I brought it over to a friends place with superficial inflamitory acne. Suprisingly after 4 treatments within a 12 hour period the fluid under the skin has diminished to almost non existent levels. She says it is a miracle. I am Suprised that this is working so fast. Usually it would take a day or two. It really works for almost anything to do with the skin. I am now going to consume it for all the reasons on this site. Use it and enjoy."

[YEA] 02/19/2008: Kenny from Strathclyde, Scotland writes: "I have been trying ACV for a while now and agree that it's great for improving metabolism and curbing apetite. I use supermarket bought organic ACV. However, for some time now (since before I started ACV), I've suffered red SPOTS/PIMPLES on the face/cheeks and on my head, and since I have little hair, it's particularly unsightly, I also had kind of FLAKEY SKIN on these areas, both would normally be quite itchy. I have recently taken to the topical application of ACV on these areas, speculatively. I have to say, in just a couple of days, the results are dramatic... I tilt the bottle onto a cotton pad a couple of times to saturate it, about the same size as a cosmetic make-up remover and wipe all over my face and head liberally, avoiding the eyes (cos it stings). I leave it on and repeat several times a day (just remember to wash the face with clean lukewarm water before you go out and pat it dry). The resulting effect is no redness, no flakey skin, just a taught, fresh-faced complexion. To compliment that, I have been taking daily sauna and steam bath treatments, interspersed with cold showers,excellent for a variety of conditions I'm sure, marvellous for the circulation, very invigorating and great for the skin, which I read here somewhere - is like the body's third kidney, and when in tip-top working condition, serves the body well to flush-out and detox the system. Try it!"

[YEA] 01/30/2008: Tara from Boston, MA writes: "I have been drinking apple cider vinegar for 10 years now. In December I ran out and decided to take a break from it. I didn't buy another bottle until about a week ago. Let me tell you, during the course of the month when I didn't take it, I aged! I also gained weight. Even though I was eating healthy foods and exercising regularly, my face looked gaunt and unhealthy and my circulation seemed to get worse. So last week I started drinking my acv again. The turn around was almost instantaneous.
After all these years of taking it, I now think that the best time to take acv for its fountain of youth properties is on an empty stomach and about 10 minutes before exercising. I usually drink about half of a glass containing 1/4cup acv in 8 oz of water (I know, very potent and strong) before going to the gym. I drink the other half before I go to bed. I have tons of energy for my workout and wake up with my skin taut (sp?) and glowing. A few years ago when I was 36, I competed in a martial arts national championships in a college town in Oregon. I was swigging acv and water throughout the competition and burned a zillion calories from giving out every ounce of energy that I had during the the competition from stress and physical exertion. The weird part is that the combination of the intense exercise/stress and the apple cider vinegar/water made me look about 10 years younger for the next 24 hours! I went out with a bunch of guys from the competition to a bar after the competition and was barred from entering because the bouncer thought I was a student with a fake id! After having my friends attest to my age, the bouncer did finally let me in. It hasn't happened to me since then, but the experience cemented in my mind the combo power of ACV and exercise. Sorry for yapping on so long, but hopefully someone finds this interesting..."

I use Aloe for cleaning,rosemary oil...but I never thought Vinegar could help me in sch way. i got sensitive skin,large pores and my skin tone wasnt uniform. I just mix it with mineral water and spray it in my face after cleasing. Let it dry and...voila! My line expression look better,my pores smaller,even wirnkles in my forehead disapeared.

PLus I ahve no knee pain from condromalacia when I take it consistent for days .I tried glucosamine, jello, ibuprofen... nothing works like vinegar.

[YEA] 12/17/2007: Freyja (gudrid13@gmail.com) from SLO, CA writes: "Hello. I have been taking ACV that I purchased at the health food store for over a month now. I take 2 tablespoons 3 times a day with an airborne tablet. I have not noticed ANY weight loss whatsoever, in fact, I have noticed a slight weight gain. I have not had a decrease in my appetite. I have noticed an INCREASE in my appetite. However, people have started commenting on how young I look; just yesterday I was telling someone that I had a 12 year old son (I am 35) they were generally shocked and they asked me if I was 9 years old when I had him! That was nice to hear. I have also been called a "young lady" and "girl" quite a bit now as opposed to "lady" or "maam" which was happening quite a bit prior. I also noticed that I was catching a terrible bug that was going around, but, I just increased my ACV for a day and rested for one day and I did NOT catch it! I thought I was gonna get it back because I catch everything and am always sick. I have not been full blown sick since taking it. I am going to continue taking it for my health because I feel in my heart that it is good for me, however, I have not noticed weight loss (or loss of cellulite.... sigh :( for that I think I have to combine the ACV with periodic fasting and giving up my chocolate and substituting green tea for coffee. Also, I have been exercising less since taking the ACV due to scheduling. But like I said before, if it makes me look younger, than I'll keep taking it!"

Revealed that I use ACV and recommended that they do the same. They have all benefited from it. It is being passed on by word of mouth. I am happy that we are using something very natural and cheap with wonderful result. Thanks."

Another use, wish had known sixty years ago, a few minutes before shaving, apply apple cider vinegar to the whiskers, then apply the shaving cream and the whiskers are softened, really makes a difference."

[YEA] 05/20/2006: Tmduke from Atlanta, GA writes: "Apple Cider Vinegar cured the acne beneath the skin and made pores appear smaller, also added a glow to skin. WONDERFUL! I used ACV as a toner to my face twice daily for beneath the skin acne and enlarged facial pores and I saw a fantastic difference in 3 days. There are only a few visible pores left, only seen when I stand close enough to the mirror to see my breathe. I also have a glow to my skin that is unbelievable. I've always loved my skin but didn't always treat it with love an care--but now seeing it glowing and healthy I am intent to add ACV to my diet for internal cleansing too. Thank you God for ACV!!!"
