Re: Acne
Green clay is also good for topical application, especially for hard-core cystic acne (which I still get every so often on my upper back). You can buy a jar of it (dry) at most health food places for about $4-$6. Just mix a small amount with water to a paste, apply and let dry (acne will probably require reapplication at intervals). It turns out that green clay poultices actually kill antibiotic resistant staph germs, and so they are starting to be used in hospitals for this purpose. Green clay also works great on insect bites, especially if you can put it on immediately after the bite/sting.
I also second eXchanger's remarks about drinking a lot of water. It also helps me a lot.
Peace,
