Ask Summer Rayne: All-Natural Acne Treatments

Summer Rayne Oakes recommends products that fight blemishes without irritating your skin

I've had acne for the better part of my life and am concerned about products that are irritating to my skin. Do you know of any natural alternatives that are safe and effective?

Most acne medications, which often contain benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, leave faces dry and chapped. "Using topical solutions like that sets you up for failure," says Warren Brander, the head of research and development at plant-based therapeutic company Théra Wise. "Those ingredients strip the skin of its hydrolipid barrier, compromising the skin's natural defenses and often prompting future breakouts."

What you want to look for are topical treatments that will help balance and strengthen the skin as well as reduce redness, inflammation, and bacteria. Two very good treatments made from naturally derived ingredients are Théra Wise Ac+ Natural Acne Ointment and Burt's Bees Herbal Blemish stick. Both have Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree oil), which are particularly good at fighting inflammation and bacteria, respectively. If you have mild acne, you can also try pure tea tree oil. It has a similar drying effect to benzoyl peroxide, but it doesn't leave your skin flaky.

Ask Summer Rayne: Green Beauty Treatment for Eyes

Bear with me on this one, because I have some pretty unconventional tips from the model-actress world. Models have a tendency to overwork themselves, particularly during fashion season. It's hard for them to even catch a wink of sleep. Given the industry, however, they are never allowed to look tired. So a popular model trick to whisk away under-eye bags is to use Preparation H hemorrhoid cream.
Hemorrhoid creams perform well for this task because they specifically target inflammation of the skin-especially in sensitive areas. I don't suggest using Preparation H, given some of the not-so-nice ingredients in the formula, but I would suggest Théra Wise HmR ointment. Why does the hemorrhoid-cream-under-the-eye trick work? "It's the astringent properties that restrict the capillaries," explains Théra Wise R&D director Warren Brander. (The HmR ointment, by the way, is the brand's number one-selling product).

Finding Relief Okey, so no one wants to talk about it. But it's estimated that one in three women will experience it during pregnancy or after birth. Yes, "it" refers to hemorrhoids.

Summer's here and you've already got the razor burn, blading bumps, and surfing scratches to prove it. But not for long. Enter Théra Wise, a new Vancouver-based line of all natural healing ointments developed by a team of eastern medicine doctors and cosmetologists.
Its SHO (Skin Healing Ointment) is an anti-bacterial cream made from botanical goodies like organic chamomile and rosehip seed oil, burdock root, honeysuckle, grapefruit seed, and aloe extract.
While busting germs like an all-natural Polysporyn, this earthy elixir will also aid in wound healing, calms skin irritation and inflammation, and has a pleasant tea tree scent.
Now get out there and play. Hard.
