Acne.......Fact? or Fiction?

Fact or Fiction:

When I was a teenager it was super embarrassing to go anywhere when you had a zit.  Especially one that was right in the middle of your nose!  Trying to squeeze it only made the spot bigger and more noticeable too.  Horror!  And the acne always seemed to be the worst on picture day!  Even as an adult there would be acne certain times of the month!  

When I was younger, the available acne products on the shelves really weren't very good.  I used a lot of Noxema not knowing that its polyethylene glycol was a carcinogen.

When my kids were growing up, the products were better but still full of toxic chemicals. 

Many times you tried almost anything to help with the zits even some weird beauty hacks  So, let's talk about an acne treatment hack from the past..... was it Fact or Fiction?

Raise
Raise your hand.......were you ever told to put toothpaste on a zit?  How many of you actually tried it?  (not sure if you deserve extra points here or not!  LOL)

So, is this FACT or FICTION?  Well, the toothpaste hack is a MYTH!

Toothpaste was often thought of as an inexpensive spot treatment, but this is one you DO NOT need to try. We have all been learning so much about the ingredients inside of ALL the things we used to use and what they do to our bodies.  Toothpaste has SLS (see our other posts about SLS).  Not good in or on your body!!


So.....what to use?  Here is a product that will help you fight zits without the toxic chemicals!

Young Living's Maximum Strength Acne Treatment


This product’s active ingredient is 2% salicylic acid which is in many acne treatments.  It is acne’s biggest enemy.   BUT our salicylic acid is derived from a plant base of Wintergreen!

It helps to clear acne and helps prevent the development of new breakouts.
