Top Ten Natural Acne Solutions

Acne and skin rashes are not just an adolescent problem.  These skin problems irritate adults as well.  Here are a few pointers for keeping your skin clear of blemishes without using chemicals:

1. Avoid sugar, gluten and processed foods.  These items encourage yeast and harmful bacteria to grow in the gut. 
2. Avoid heavy make up containing chemicals like propylene glycol.
3. Use hyper-allergenic make up like Almay and Neutrogena.
4. Avoid sunscreens that are full of chemicals and water-proof (try Sunforgettable by Colore Science).
5. Clean your face with a gentle glycerin soap like 365 Olive Aloe Glycerin Bar
6. Take a high quality probiotic like Probiotic Eleven (use sponsor #2617576-2, Anna H. Rawls for DISCOUNTS).
7. Use a homeopathic remedy to heal the blemishes:  Acne Homeopathy (use sponsor #2617576-2, Anna H. Rawls doe DISCOUNTS).
8. Drink 6-8 glasses of pure water everyday.
9. Spot treat blemishes with therapeutic grade essential oils: Lavender, Lemon, Tea tree Therapeudic Grade Essential Oils (use sponsor # 2617576-2, Anna H. Rawls for DISCOUNTS).
10. Start the day with a cleansing protein shake (see my recipe under Breakfast Recipe post).

Bikini Belly: The Fringe Benefit of Healthy Digestion

I will never forget what a twelve year old boy once said to me: "When are you going to have your baby?" My response: "My baby is two years old!" I was not fat, but I had to admit that I looked like I was two months pregnant!

A bloated belly is often caused by inflammation of the gut. It happens as an allergic reaction to foods like dairy, processed foods, sugar, wheat, and other grains. The bloating occurs as tissue becomes inflamed because the victim lacks the enzymes required to digest the offending food items. You may have experienced the sensation when your pants feel tight after eating a plate of spaghetti and garlic bread.

Eliminating the offensive foods was an important first step in healing my digestive system. The other fringe benefit, was that I lost 20 pounds! I replaced the cereal and milk that used to be my breakfast with a protein shake. I found that eating protein first thing in the morning kept me feeling full. I stopped craving breads and sweets through out the day! Here is my shake recipe:

1 cup plain organic yogurt
1/2 cup organic blueberries
1tsp flaxseed oil
1 cup plain almond milk
1 scoop Protoclear protein powder (GMO free)

Combine ingredients in a blender and enjoy!


In addition to eating foods that do not contain sugar or wheat, I also help my digestive tract to heal by taking a digestive enzyme (Food Enzymes) with every meal. The enzymes help to make sure that I am absorbing the nutrients from the foods and vitamins that I consume. Finally, I take pro-biotics to encourage the growth of good bacteria. All these things combined promote healthy digestion. The fringe benefit is that I could wear a bikini if I wanted to.
