Hi,
I have a question. Maybe I know the answer, but anyway, I shall post this. I have problems with small acne on my foreheard; the rest of my face is quite clean.
Do you know what could be causing this? Since I am not prone to medicine, I would most appreciate natural anti acne advices, like don't eat eat, do this, etc...

Do you have hair on your forehead?
If yes, you should change your hairstyle.
There are many natural advices that could be helpful, but every body response is different.
For example, cholcolade- some have problems, other do not... The same with fat food.
Scientists have discovered that milk can cause acne- not milk itself, but higher levels od iodine in milk (because cow is given iodine to give more milk).
You should clean your face regular (not too much)- with water, in the morning and before bed time or after physical activity. Clean makeup!
You shouldn't pick your pimples because this way you transfer the infection on face.
Use proper creams for you face- if you have oily skin, than use cream for oily skin and again, do not exaggerate with creams.
Visit beautician and let professionals clean the face- better than you pick pimples yourself.

I agree with sonia. Most of the time, hair can cause dirt to accumulate in certain regions in the face which can then cause acne. My bet is on the hair! Change your do! If it still doesn't help, then your case must be genetic.

* Make facial wash by using lemon and rose water. Mix them together and apply the liquid on your face. Leave it for a few minutes and then wash off by using cotton pad soaked in warm water.
* Use egg whites to treat your acne; apply the egg whites on your face and leave for 10 -15 minutes. Then wash your face with cold water.
* Mix oatmeal and natural yogurt and apply on your face for a few minutes. When you feel the mixture dries on your face, wash it with warm water.
* Drink a lot of water during the day.
* Eat many cucumbers during the day in order to keep your face acne free.
* Drink warm water with lemon a few times a day.
* Eat healthy food; make sure you eat a lot of fruit and vegetables.
* Take a cotton pad and dip it in rose water, clean your face with the rose water a few times a day to get better looking skin.
* Take one lemon and squeeze its juice. Apply the lemon juice on the acne pimples and leave for 20 minutes. Then wash your face with lukewarm water. If your skin stings from the lemon, wash your face before the 20 minutes are over.
* Apply garlic cloth on the acne to make it heal faster.

Food rich in zinc or zinc supplements can help prevent acne. Herbal blend with equal amounts of sarsaparilla, yellow dock, burdock and cleavers can help. These herbal remedy is potent blood and lymph cleaners. You can take this extract orally, half of tea spoon 3 times per day. Tea tree oil is helpful when applicated locally.

I used to have acnes in my forehead and I think it was caused by my hair. I didn't get a lot of sleep during that time so probably stress could also be the reason why.

What am I supposed to do with curcumin?
Apply on skin? Or add in food? Smile

Are you sure curcumin is good against acne? Have you tried it before?

Curcumin is a natural product that can be extracted from Turmeric. Recent studies have revealed the fact that it has effectiveness in treating and preventing many diseases like arthritis, asthma, cancer and many more including acne. I haven't tried it but heard from my friend's girlfriend and also read in many places on internet that the product is useful for acne. You can't apply it on your skin. You have to eat it in the form of capsule or powder.
