Best Natural Remedies for Eczema, Acne, and Glowing Skin: Herbs and Supplements That Heal from Within
Discover the best natural remedies for glowing skin. Learn how herbs, supplements, and probiotics can calm eczema, clear acne, and support skin health from the inside out.
Real Skin Healing Starts on the Inside
If you’ve tried every cream, lotion, or steroid and your skin (or your child’s skin) still flares, you’re not alone.
True healing begins inside the body. When we support the gut, liver, and detox systems, the skin can finally calm down and glow naturally.
In this post, we’ll go beyond surface fixes and talk about the best herbs, supplements, and natural remedies that help heal eczema, acne, and dull skin from within.
4 Herbs That Support Clear, Healthy Skin
Milk Thistle
This powerful liver-supporting herb helps the body filter toxins before they show up on the skin. A strong liver means less burden on the body and fewer flares.
Dandelion Root
A gentle detoxifier that also supports digestion. When the digestive system moves smoothly, it takes pressure off the skin as an elimination pathway.
Chamomile
Calms inflammation and soothes both the skin and the nervous system. It’s especially helpful for kids with eczema. Chamomile tea or gentle baths can help reduce irritation.
Burdock Root
Traditionally used as a “blood purifier,” burdock supports detoxification and clear skin by helping the liver and lymph system.
Supplements for Skin Health
Zinc
Essential for wound healing, acne reduction, and skin repair. Many moms and kids are low in zinc due to poor absorption or gut imbalances.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Reduce inflammation and support smoother, more hydrated skin. Look for fish or algae-based options.
Collagen
Helps rebuild elasticity and repair the skin barrier. You can add it to a morning smoothie or oatmeal.
Probiotics
The gut and skin are connected through what’s called the “gut-skin axis.”
Certain probiotic strains can calm inflammation, reduce eczema, and improve acne.
Look for blends that include Lactobacillus rhamnosus, L. plantarum, or Bifidobacterium breve.
Trusted brands I use: Klaire Labs, Designs for Health, Microbiome Labs, and Ameo Life (MB40) These are all high-quality and practitioner-grade options.
Astaxanthin
A powerhouse antioxidant found in salmon and red algae. It’s about 10x stronger than vitamin C and helps protect skin from UV damage, dryness, and early aging, making it one of my top choices for moms who want a natural glow.
Vitamin C
Vitamin c helps to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture. It also helps to reduce inflammation and increase skin barrier function.
Topicals + Gentle Remedies
Even though true healing starts from within, what we use on the outside matters too.
Try these safe and effective options:
- Calendula cream – calms irritation and supports healing.
- Silver Gel -reduces inflammation and helps prevent infection. (Code: Danellekessler for 20% off)
- Tallow balm – rich and nourishing for dry, eczema-prone skin. (Code Danelle10)
- Castor oil – gentle liver and lymphatic support.
- Red-light therapy - reduces inflammation, supports healing
- Gua sha – boost circulation and collagen.
The Big Picture
Healing skin isn’t about doing everything at once.
It’s about small, consistent steps that support detox, digestion, and nourishment from the inside, while reducing irritants and toxins on the outside.
