"Ok I need some help from any one that has had acne problems... I am super manifestor and creator with just about everything except for my skin which just continues to get worse no matter what i do... help help!!!"

Be careful not to affirm what you don't want. You need to change your view of your skin for it to get better. If you keep looking at it and saying, "Oh no! It's just getting worse and worse, I need to do something," you're only getting more of worse and worse. Think of your skin as already healthy, beautiful, and clear. Stop noticing that acne when you pass a mirror.

Good luck!

I have it as a marquee screen saver on my computer at work -- I want to get into the habit of saying it. It's just fun and new!

I love your panda -- someone sent me an email that has pics of a panda from when it was teensy-tiny to being at least partially grown -- what an amazing sight!

some way, some how you are holding something in that is manifesting as skin problems.
I think u need to go beyond just affirming good skin, you also need to go deeper within and get in touch with all the "stuff" you have going on. There is an emotional imbalance in there somewhere.
You probably have some kind of anxiety, stress, self frustration issues going on.
You need to get in touch with you feelings and see what comes up...release whatever issue you may have, and gradually turn it around. Whatever is going in, you need to release it first. The thing is you are affirming on TOP of the issues underneath and that never really works.
Do some soul searching and transform those emotional blocks and with that affirm healthy skin and your skin will heal.

I so feel for you! My daughter is going through similar problems at the moment, but we managed after months of trying all sorts of other treatments including going to the doctor, to find a product called "Boreade", face wash and a cream application. We got it in France...don't know if it's possible to get anywhere else, but it works wonders.

However, that's not much help to you I guess, BUT, following on from what Tom says, that maybe the skin problem is an outer manifestation of inner problems which you need to clear up first. I have Louise Hay's "Heal your Body" book and this is what she says about acne:

(Acne is a sign ) of not accepting the self. Dislike of the self.
New thought pattern:
Affirm to yourself : I am a Divine expression of life. I love and accept myself where I am right now.

I also believe very much in the power of EFT (emotional freedom tapping) There is an EFT group here, I suggest you go and visit and see what they have to say. Also have a look at this link on You tube about combining EFT with Louise Hay's affirmations.

Hope this all helps.

Hi emhoopes,

I used to have really bad acne. And I mean bad. I tried all sorts of things: pills, lotions, soaps, face washes, treatments.... Cheap and very expensive. I couldn't look in the mirror because I just hated my skin. I hated to leave the house because I thought people would think I'm some kind of a freak.

Now I have a very simple skin care process. My skin looks healthy, is clear and I love it. Even without make up. I love it.

And I honestly think that's what did it. I started to love my skin (even when it was bad). I started being very gentle, caring and good to my skin and myself. I looked at the water, lotion, face wash with a different outlook- I have great skin, these products are good for my skin and help it look better. I looked within myself to see what it is about me that is causing this. Instead of fighting what is going on, I accepted it and went from there. Honestly, this is the experience I had. The next morning I looked in the mirror and my skin changed. This was he beginning to healthy skin.

It sounds strange, but after you have tried everything and it hasn't worked, you're willing to give this a try. It has worked for me. If it doesn't work for you, I hope you find something that does (and share it with others).

this was really inspiring b/c i believe that takes GREAT bravery. i say this because to forget about your skin when you see it every time u look in the mirror and you see people looking at it when u are speaking to them (as in my case) makes it extremely hard for me to "not care." I feel the urge just to accept it too but honestly i feel the level that i would "accept it"on would be accepting being "ugly." i don't want to manifest that. how did u do it?

Well, believe me, it didn't come easy. At one point I was just fed up and had this "whatever" attitude. It was baby steps at a time. I stopped looking in the mirror almost, unless I absolutely had to. So the less I saw myself the less I would focus on the "ugly". And from there on I'd tell myself that my skin serves to protect my body. At the moment it's a little "sick" and it just needs a little healing. In the mean time there are other great qualities about me. I literally had to step that far back. And soon your mind gets comfortable w/ that idea. Then as you start noticing improvements, you gain more condifence.

Usually there is something about you that is causing this. YOu might be resisting something or hiding away from something... I don't know. But as you start to look for answers you are bound to find them.

Be gentle on yourself, eat well, sleep well, live strongly and simply. You're beautiful. Your skin is a vessel for your soul. Shine on :-)

Love and joy xx

P.S and on a more mundane level, you might find that some aromatherapy oils such as lavender can be greatly beneficial - have a look at natural remedies and see what appeals - but it could take your skin a couple of months to settle down, whichever remedy you choose - so be patient. Change will come.

NB Speaking from experience, sometimes it's good to live without mirrors for a while, really it is!...

Em,
As I posted before, Proactive is the only thing that helped me when I needed it. Actually, for me, the mask was the only thing I needed, so if you find some in a kiosk at a mall, just try the mask.

Also, go to EarthClinic.com. They have natural answers. A lot of people say that hydrogen peroxide (a form of which is in Proactive) works great. There are other remedies, too. The main thing is, they're natural and they're cheap.

I'm just beginning the EFT, and also the (and I won't spell this right)Ho'oponono. I think the EFT and the other (H) one will help to calm your mind and spirit, which will help with the evidence being shown on your body.
