Google "Neem Powder". It's the leaves of a tree that grows in India, and it is AMAZING! In India, they say that if a man plants 3 Neem trees in his life, he is guaranteed to go straight to heaven and avoid unpleasant reincarnations.

It's cheap, it lasts forever, and it does all kinds of things for you. It kills bacteria, fungus and viruses, repels mosquitoes, curex dandruff, and clears your skin. You can chew the leaves, brush your teeth with it, mix it into your shampoo, and even put it on babies. I sprinkle it in my dog's bed to repel fleas, and make a tea out of it to rinse my oily hair. I even make little teabags full of it to store in my grain to repel meal moths. It even kills lice!

On my skin, I make a paste of the leaves, rub it on, and then rinse a minute later. Your skin will look gorgeous in just a few days, and your pores will be SO small! I use pure jojoba oil for a moisturizer (available in heath stores on on Amazon).

I went to my local Indian food place, where they have spices for sale. I found a one pound bag of Neem for $4.00. It's definitely worth looking around for!

Is sold as leaves? I saw it online as oils, soap, creams.

The shampoo/body bar I posted contains neem oil. Definitely worth a try if chemical stuff isn't doing it.

acne is almost always caused by an underlying condition with hormones. I have one myself, it's the worst thing. hormone conditions are not usually the most serious but they affect everything and one's well being so much. the hormones are incredibly important in the function of the body.

Try washing the affected area only with cold, cold water, not even lukewarm, pure chilly cold. Helps some a lot.

Some people use Hein.z apple cider vinegar, perhaps diluted in cold water, as a final rinse.

Clinique cleansing products are good, people say, particularly their solid bar and their exfoliating lotion.

Some dermatologists are willing to inject a pimple with a little cortisone, an anti-inflammatory.

A bit of natural sunlight is useful but I would not recommend serious sunlamp use.

Ok so I bought 'neem powder'. On the online reviews they say to make a paste, but leave it on. You wouldn't recommend that?

All these remedies sound good but everyone forgot the most important ingredient.
DRINK WATER. Lots and lots of water. 10-12 glasses full throughout the day and then some
You need to flush the toxins out of your body.
If you don't like plain water, put a little lemon, cucumber slices, mint, or ginger to make it more palatable

Do you have dandruff or an itchy scalp too? These are all signs of a toxic liver (in homeopathic terms)
Drink lots and lots of water

You right I really don't drink a lot of water. But I don't have dandruff or itchy scalp at all.
