Chest/Back acne and scars?
I have some acne on my chest, back, and upper arms, but I have tons of scars, they look so gross. Summer is coming and I want to wear tank tops, so how do I clear up all of my acne and acne scars? Is there something that really works?

Dealing with acne can be discouraging. Best bet, however, is to tackle it from the inside (i.e. nutrition) as well as with helpful organic products on the outside. Eating lots of veggies, drinking lots of water (and no other beverages such as pop, juices, milk) and avoiding refined sugars and grains helps (i.e. the latter produce an insulin surge that can contribute to acne), as can some natural acne cures like dabbing breakouts with organic coconut oil (with or without a sprinkle of turmeric in it). I’m a holistic nutritionist and I also often recommend the Miessence Certified Organic Purifying line to my clients with acne (including their Purifying Blemish Gel). In combination with healthy dietary change they see very good results. Good luck and hang in there. You can have healthy skin!
PS Re: the scarring, sometimes Vitamin E can help.
