    Hi Noises! Great to see you on here!

    Anyways personally I believe that the 2 absolutely greatest scourges that have brought more tears and suffering to humankind than anything else, is judging someone to be inferior to someone else for whatever reason (for example, thinking one person is superior to someone else because they have more talent, are more beautiful, belongs to a "superior" religion/race/skin colour/nationality/continent, etc.) and judging people by their appearance (ie. thinking that a youthful, beautiful/handsome, sexy, slender person is superior to someone who looks less youthful, beautiful etc. etc., or looking down on someone because you think they're ugly or fat, are disfigured or have deformations or scars, etc.).

    So having said that, even though, hopefully at any rate, most of us here on this forum know better than to judge people by their appearance or, even worse, think that someone is inferior because of their appearance, unfortunately the world isn't so forgiving and tolerant. Unfortunately, in the world, people are indeed judged by their appearance all the time. So it's normal that people would want to have a pleasant appearance, look younger, have younger skin, etc. Because when you look nice people are nicer to you, they'll open doors for you, they'll give you things that you were asking for that they would refuse to give to someone else whom they consider ugly, etc.

    Especially women. Lots of times women are rejected for a job just because they have wrinkles, or aren't as slender as the top models. We even see that on TV, how on TV shows they show the interviewer rejecting a woman because she has wrinkles and is overweight, and then he will hire a young thing with lots of curves and smooth skin.

    And I imagine that women who are less attractive are also rejected for other things as well, although I can't think of what things they could be at the moment, because in my simple life the only things I can imagine someone desiring to get is either a good job or a great relationship hehe!

    Anyways, asides from that, if it happens that the woman (or man, but not as often) not only wants to heal skin that has a little bit of wrinkles or some blemishes, but it also happens that the person has a really disfiguring condition which can be healed with the right natural treatment, well of course I can perfectly understand and imagine that they would be moved to tears when they finally find that treatment.

    There are so many such conditions out there, they wreck your life and yet they can be so easily cured using the right combination of herbs, oils and essential oils. Some examples could be really severe acne. Now, you might think there's nothing really wrong with a bit of acne, after all everyone gets a few pimples sometimes. But I'm talking about really big acne, the kind that covers your whole face with huge pus-filled (okay not meaning to gross anyone out! ) white and blackheads and red rashes. Or conditions that not only look bad but feel bad too, like eczemas or psoriasis or rashes like that, they not only look unhealthy and awful, they also hurt, I think.

    Or things that really clearly are sick, like my son's ringworm. Not only does ringworm look most unsightly and definitely make you look sick, they ARE an illness.

    So, vanity isn't only about looking pretty. I think deep down people associate good looks with good health, if you look pretty people think you're healthy, and if your skin looks awful, well you've probably got health problems! Beauty is more than skin deep. Yeah!

      Acne treatments

      Hi all! Well since I see this all the time, I thought I'd post some acne remedies I've heard about. I imagine none of them would work 100% for everyone, but they're cheap and easy to get and if they don't work for you, well they won't hurt you either! Unlike all those chemicals like antibiotics and things like that that traditional Western medicine likes to use to "treat" acne (and which don't work anyways! ).

      Well, as I posted above, you could try the turmeric mask.

      Some essential oils that are really good for combatting acne include lavender, tea tree oil and sandalwood. Sandalwood powder used in a mask (for example combined with the turmeric!) is also supposed to be good.

      You can make a simple moisturizer for acne using coconut oil (which for most people helps to regulate oil and make their skin LESS oily, not more oily) as a carrier oil and add a few drops of lavender, tea tree and sandalwood essential oils. If you find that concoction too oily you can combine it with aloe vera gel, the greater the ratio of aloe vera gel the less oily the cream you get.

      If you don't like using coconut oil, some people don't because sometimes they're allergic to it, or some people find it does give them acne, but most people don't, you could try olive oil. Even though it's thick most people find that it doesn't break them out. A little bit is all you need.

      Some people prefer jojoba oil. I suppose it's just a question of trial and error.

      And finally, the oils you eat are also important for acne. NOTHING is worse for acne, I think, than Crisco!!! I think Crisco should be banned forever! (That is if it hasn't already been, I haven't been back to that side of the world in ages!)

      I think the best oil to eat for not getting acne is extra virgin olive oil. It's what most Spanish people use all the time and Spanish people don't get much acne. They did a study in New York where they had Italian people, so all similar genetic makeup, and some of the people ate traditional Italian food and cooked with olive oil, and the others ate a typical North American diet, with vegetable oils. The Italian people eating the North American diet had lots of acne problems. The people eating olive oil had very nice, smooth skin.

      Now if anyone finds this idea objectionable (I know a certain member used to post often on this thread criticizing olive oil all the time), well I'm not saying that olive oil is the best oil for health in general or for your heart, I have no idea what oil you should use for these things. I also don't know if eating other oils I haven't mentioned, like coconut oil, would be good or bad for acne. Just simply in my experience, which of course includes lots of olive oil because I live in an olive oil country, I can see for myself that eating olive oil is really good at keeping your skin smooth and free of acne.
