Best Natural Acne Treatment Books for 2023

The Acne Cure: The Nonprescription Plan That Shows Dramatic Results in as Little as 24 Hours

This book has a 6 week program that focuses heavily on which skincare products to use to clear up your acne. It claims to have a 95% success rate! The downfall of this book is that it doesn’t talk about the root cause of acne as much as some of the other books below do…so if you stop the skincare regime, then your acne will come back since the root cause hasn’t been dealt with. Also, the skincare products that they suggest aren’t always non-toxic, which i’m a big proponent of. This isn’t my favourite book on acne, but I included it in the list since it is very popular.

✔️ Written by a Dr

✔️ Easy to follow skincare regime

❌ Perpetuates the idea that acne can be ‘cured’ at the skin level

❌ Suggests using ingredients which may be harmful to your health

Acne No More – The Secrets to Curing Your Acne Holistically

I like how this program focuses on balancing hormones, and finding the root cause of your acne, since almost all acne is caused by an imbalance of some sort. The drawback is that it’s a bit pricier than other options ($37 last time I checked)…so it’s not outrageous, but a bit more than the usual book on amazon.

But…if you’re anything like me you’ve spent 10x that on other ‘acne cures’ so if this is the last $37 you spend to get glowing skin, then all I have to say is it’s probably worth it. I also really like how this book is written by a nutritionist who suffered from acne. I strongly believe that what we eat is likely the root cause of most peoples acne. I also know, from personal experience, that having the problem is the strongest motivation for figuring out a solution! I used most of the suggestions in this book myself and they were key to me figuring out how to reduce, and eventually eliminate my acne.

✔️ Written by a nutritionist

✔️ I personally tested the strategies (and they worked)

✔️Acne No More is the #1 best selling acne ebook in the history of the Internet for a reason…

Beyond Soap: The Real Truth About What You Are Doing to Your Skin and How to Fix It for a Beautiful, Healthy Glow 

by Sandy Skotnicki

My Beyond Soap review is that it is INCREDIBLE because it explains why the harsh ingredients in most cosmetics are harmful to the skin. I can’t believe more people aren’t talking about this! The author of Beyond soap also reviews a step-by-step guide to preserve the skin microbiome (the good bacteria!), fight aging and develop beautiful, problem free skin. Spoiler Alert: when I stopped using soap on my skin it was a major turning point for my problems with acne and my skin improved soon after. So, the best face wash for acne, may just be no face wash. But the book gets into that more, and this e-book on treating acne also goes into that.

Beyond Soap Review in a nutshell: it is an excellent, easy read on why it is important to reduce the chemical load in your skincare routine and if you follow the steps, you are likely to be enjoying healthy, glowing skin in no time. Highly recommend it. Click Here To Buy.
