Dr Oz

Doctor Oz did a segment on treating acne with Sea Buckthorn Oil several months ago.  Have you tried using Sea Buckthorn Oil to treat your acne and pimples?  I have heard from several Dr Oz Fans readers, and it seems like for some people, the Sea Buckthorn Oil has worked very well for them.  Other people said their acne was not cleared up significantly by Sea Buckthorn Oil.  So far though, I have not heard from anyone who said that Sea Buckthorn Oil made their acne worse.  Perhaps I should do a Dr Oz Fan poll on acne remedies!  Leave comments below and share with everyone if Sea Buckthorn Oil helped to get rid of your acne.  I would also be interested in hearing if any other oils, like Tea Tree Oil, Jojoba Oil or Tamanu Oil have helped anyone to get rid of their acne.  I have read great things about the powers of Tea Tree Oil, Jojoba Oil, Tamanu Oil and Sea Buckthorn Oil to clear up acne, and I absolutely love natural treatments.  My husband got a pimple the other day, and I put a drop of Tea Tree Oil on the pimple, and it did heal within a day… although I swear that his skin heals faster than mine (I hope my kids get his skin!).

Sea Buckthorn Oil & Acne Remedies

Dr Oz has done quite a few different episodes on different acne treatments and remedies.  One of my favorite segments is from just a week ago on making an Aspirin & Lemon Juice Acne Home Remedy.  I have received lots of positive feedback and have always loved the Aspirin Mask!  Here are some recaps of previous Dr Oz shows on the topic of Acne Home Remedies:

Doctor Oz was asked by a lady about boils.  Where do boils come from and how do you prevent them?

Dr. Oz said that boils are commonly found where you have hair or behind your ears.  You should put a warm compress on them and lance them, just like how you lance a pimple.

Doctor Oz discussed acne and pimple myths, and taught us how to pop pimples and cure pimples with a special home remedy of Sea Buckthorn Oil.

Dr. Oz’s Acne & Pimple Myths:

1.  Is It Bad To Pop A Pimple?

Yes!  When you pop a pimple, you macerate the skin by pushing on the skin around the pimple.  Instead, you should take care of your pimples by sterilizing the area around the pimple with alcohol.  Sterilize a needle with alcohol and by running the needle through a flame.  Then lance the pimple by poking in at an angle and then out and up.  If you push the needle straight into your pimple, then you will damage your tissue.  After you have lanced your pimple, you can press gently to get rid of the puss and it will come out in a controlled fashion now, rather than like an explosion.

2.  Pimples Are a Problem Only For Adolescents?

False!  Adults definitely get pimple, and I can verify this!  80% of kids have acne, and 40% of adults suffer from acne.  Dr. Oz recommended Sea Buckthorn Oil as an anti-inflammatory and to exfoliate your skin to get rid of your acne… plus it smells amazing!  You can read more about acne tips, acne advice and acne home remedies at AcneStories.com.

Dr. Oz discussed blackheads and pimples, the war they wage on our faces, how blackheads can be deadly and most importantly, how we can get rid of these pesky blemishes!

Dr. Oz asked seat 76, Anne, to be his helper today.  So why do people get blackheads?  If the hair follicle cannot get through the surface of your skin, then you get a blackhead.  The little black dot is actually the top of the hair follicle that is trapped under your skin.

We all know that when you pop a pimple or a blackehead, that is is not good for your skin.  But did you know that if you pop a pimple near a major blood vessel, like the ones behind your nose that go to your brain, it can be life threatening.  When you squeeze the pimple, the puss can go inside (rather than just come out the top of your skin)… and this puss can get into your blood stream and go straight to your brain.  This is why Dr. Oz calls the area from the top of your nost to both sides of your mouth the “triangle of death.”

What are safe alternatives for getting rid of blackheads?  You can use a pimple extractor tool, which is a stick with a loop on the end of it.  You put the pimple inside of the loop and push down, then once it pops, you swipe across.  Want an even safer way to get rid of your blackheads?  Make a mixture of Epsom salt and water to wash the area with blackheads and pimples.
