Guest guest Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I use tea tree oil. You should dilute it with a little water when using it on the face. Not sure where you live, but Trader Joe's carries a tea tree oil blemish stick. All the best, Robyn From: Brattin <sdb2956@...> Subject: OT: gentle/ " safe " pimple treatments? , gfcfplus , sotosyndrome Date: Monday, August 17, 2009, 1:42 PM Hi, Our preteen daughter has her first pimple, and I'm hesitant to purchase anything to use on it, as she has chemical and food sensitivities.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I have the same problem with my son. My sister used lemon juice for her daughter which worked quite well. I have heard other people talk about tea tree oil and witch hazel being very good. I will probably try each of these until I find something that works. I do know that touching and popping them is the worst thing you can do. My older son ended up with acne because he couldn't leave them alone. Ended up taking him to a dermatologist. D.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Can anyone suggest natural/healthy means to zap zits? My daughter swears by toothpaste. She uses Tom's of Maine sensitive teeth. You put it on the zit at night. It looks weird but it is the best thing that she has found. Patty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone suggest natural/healthy means to zap zits? At my house, pimples were caused by food intolerance and yeast overgrowth. Using digestive enzymes and increasing the yeast protocol eliminated acne here. For some people, taking vitamin A helps. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
