I propose the following naturist protocol
Local treatment
Ingredients (for 1 application):
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (ideally cold pressed, organic).
- zeolite powder in 3 capsules
- 1 drop oregano essential oil (NO more, it is very strong).
- Optional: 2-3 drops of jojoba oil or tea tree oil for an extra balancing effect.
Preparation steps:
- Put the coconut oil in a small bowl. If it's solid, melt it very lightly in a steam bath (not directly on the stove) or microwave.
- Add zeolite powder and mix well until you get a slightly viscous paste.
- Add 1 drop of oregano essential oil (NOT more) and mix again.
- You can also add a drop of jojoba or tea tree oil.
How to apply:
- Wash your face with a mild, alcohol-free face wash.
- Apply the mask in a thin layer, only on areas with acne or blackheads.
- Leave on for 5-7 minutes (maximum 10 if you have oily skin). Do not let it dry completely and tighten the skin.
- Rinse with lukewarm water, using gentle, non-friction movements.
- Dab your face with a clean towel and apply a soothing toner or thermal spring water.
Recommended frequency:
1-2 times a week. If you notice irritation or increased stinging, stop application.
Additional suggestions for efficiency:
- You can alternate this mask with a green clay + aloe vera mask for detoxifying and soothing.
- Avoid harsh exfoliants on the days you use this mask.
- Moisturize the skin after the mask with a non-comedogenic product.
Duration of treatment
For mild to moderate acne:
You can use 1-2 times a week for 4-6 weeks.
If you see clear improvements (fewer pimples, clearer skin), you can continue for another 1-2 months for consolidation, then rarely (once every 10-14 days) as maintenance.
For persistent (but not cystic) acne:
You need consistency for 8-12 weeks. Not daily, but a sustained routine of 1-2 applications per week.
At the same time, it's also important what you use the rest of the day: gentle cleansing, light moisturizing, avoiding comedogenic products.
Signs that you need to stop or adjust:
- If the skin becomes irritated, red, very dry or new pimples appear in excess (purging effect prolonged for more than 2 weeks), stop the treatment.
- If severe itching occurs on application, you can reduce the concentration of oregano (or temporarily replace with tea tree).
When you can resume:
After a break of 2-3 weeks, you can go back to the mask, but only once a week, and possibly without oregano, just with zeolite + coconut, as a mild detox.
General oral treatment
Berberine: well-documented antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory effects, including on resistant staphylococci.
It is effective against Staphylococcus aureus, including MRSA, and usually also against coagulase-negative (non-hemolytic) forms.
It also reduces sebum production and local inflammation.
Dosage: 2 capsules per day, 6-8 weeks, with a 1-2 week break.
Vitamin D3+K2+magnesium: anti-inflammatory effect. Dose: 1 capsule per day. The vitamin D level in the blood is dosed periodically (every 6 months) and when it reaches around 100 ng/ml, it is stopped and when it drops to around 60 ng/ml, it is taken again,
Probiotic: 1 cp per day
Omega 3: 1 cp per day.
Diet
Recommended foods
- Green and colorful vegetables - broccoli, spinach, kale, carrots, beets, zucchini, peppers, tomatoes (in moderate amounts);
- Clean proteins - fish (salmon, sardines, trout), eggs, lean meats, tofu, lentils, turnips;
- Good fats - extra virgin olive oil, avocado, nuts, flaxseeds, chia;
- Low-sugar fruits - berries, green apples, kiwi fruit;
- Anti-inflammatory spices - turmeric, ginger, oregano, basil, rosemary;
Foods to avoid
- Refined sugar and sweets (including fruit juices and "natural" syrups);
- Pastries, bagels, white bread, white rice;
- Dairy, especially milk and fresh cheese (may stimulate IGF-1 and sebum);
- Refined vegetable oils (sunflower, corn, soybean);
- Cold cuts, fast food, chips, ketchup, industrial mayonnaise
- Alcohol, especially beer (increases DHT and IGF-1).
Recommend intermittent fasting
