• Sunlight. That’s right, UV light can af- fect the type of bacteria that coloniz- es the skin. Getting some sunlight on a naked face can be bactericidal and promote a healthy skin microbiome.


• Plant-based topicals. Gotu kola and neem are popular herbs in the Ayurvedic tradition for acne. Avoid coconut oil as it is a comedogenic. Instead try jojoba, grapeseed, ses- ame, apricot seed, or rose-hip. You may need to experiment to find the right oils for your own skin, and they may change with the seasons.


• Topical niacinamide and sulfur washes are great for reducing inflam- mation and healing scars. Avoid dry- ing washes and that “tight” feeling after washing.


• Detoxification. Eating more “liver- loving” foods such as artichoke and beets and herbs such as dandelion and burdock root can enhance liver detoxification and function. Skin brushing can remove dead skin cells and improve lymphatic flow, result- ing in more efficient detoxification. Exercise and sauna both promote sweating, an ancient detoxification practice.
