You Don't Have to Suffer with Acne Anymore!!
(c)Copyright 2006 by Joanne V. Blanche
This may come as a surprise... but acne can easily be kept
under control in most cases with just a few simple changes
to your daily routine.
I suffered with acne as a teenager. If I had known back
then what I am about to share with you, I would never have
had to go through the trauma and embarrassment which tends
to go hand in hand with acne.
The first and most important step of keeping acne away, is
to keep your face clean.
Clean your face with plenty of water several times a day
(atleast twice a day). Use a good cleanser that is suited
to your skin type, but don't use a product that is too harsh
as to damage your skin. Your sought after outcome is for
clean, clear and blemish-free skin, not damaged acne-free
skin.
Protect your skin with a good moisturizer.
If you don't protect your skin, and you allow it to become
too dry, your oil glands with start to overwork trying to
compensate. This will ofcourse have a negative effect and
will pave the way for acne to appear.
Drink plenty of water. Ofcourse filtered or bottled water is
always better than tap water.
You should drink even more water after eating foods such
as "Junk" type foods. This extra water will rid your body
faster of the ammunition that would normally start off an
acne rampage.
Try to eat a healthy diet. The words "we are what we eat"
are words you should definitely keep in mind when
battling acne.
Lots of fresh vegetables and fruit are wonderful for keeping
your body healthy and for keeping acne away!
Vitamins can on occasion help with your battle also!
Sometimes, in severe cases of acne, there is a lacking of
vitamins involved. Consulting your doctor and health food
expert about this will soon put you on the right path to
healthier skin. Guidance is needed for some vitamins as to
the safe dosage you need, so aways check before you start on
a new course of vitamins.
Washing your hair regularly also plays a large part in
keeping acne away.
Just like with cleaning your face, you should also care for
your hair with regular washing and the correct conditioning
and care. You also have oil glands in your scalp, and you
don't want these to become too overactive either.
Don't soak up too much sun.
Apart from the obvious risks of skin cancer, too much sun
will dry your skin out. This will cause your skin to age
faster, and will damage your skin. Remember what you are
trying to acheive here.....clear blemish-free skin, not wrinkly
skin!!
