When someone comes to me for help with skin breakouts or problems, I always start with the diet. While replacing your personal care products is SUPER important, our skin is a manifestation of what we put in it. Most skin issues (if not all) can be cleared up by eliminating dairy (and often gluten).
If you have teens or family members who don't choose to go dairy free, I have found burdock root and red clover to be an incredible tool in clearing up the skin. Both are blood purifiers/cleansers. Basically, they help take out the trash (toxins) that accumulate inside the body from the toxic foods/liquids we consume. Our bodies can't dump toxins quick enough if our digestive channel is stressed, so it often shows up on our skin. By taking these herbs, it helps the body eliminate them easier, while also clearing up the skin (win win!).
I personally take Dr. Christopher's Blood Stream Formula because it contains both those herbs, but it also has many others that help purify the blood stream and clean up the body. They don't use any fillers or binders in their capsules, just straight organic clean herbs in a veggie capsule. If you can't find them at your local health food store or online, I'd recommend doing burdock root and red clover tea. They are bitter (great for the liver and blood), so if doing the tea, I like raw honey or stevia.
