Acne is such a taboo subject. Yes, it can look terrible. Everyone
knows that, yet millions are affected and seeking solutions every day.
There is so much out there to try and so many leading experts explaining
their procedures that it can all become overwhelming and confusing.
Let’s look at some basic skin care rules.
How to Wash your Face
No offense, but the majority of you do not wash your face correctly,
especially when you perceive something being wrong with it, and set out
to wash the wrong thing down the sink. Skin is fragile, skin dealing
with acne is even more so. Think of it: If your ankle is swollen, would
you twist it some more? No, you would not!
- Please do not rub or scrub your face. Doing so, you may actually
spread infection to other areas of your face. Stimulation of the
skin may produce more oil to protect your skin from the friction.
- Wash your face in the morning and at night. Using a mild
homemade remedy or store bought product, but one that leaves skin
feeling soft and not irritated. Finish by rinsing in cool water. Use
a soft towel to blot dry.
- For the rest of the day keep your hands off your face. This may
not be easy surrounded by people, but in moments when you are alone,
resist the temptation. Many find that looking into a mirror helps.
You can assess the condition of the skin and resist touching by
using the visual. This will eliminate picking the skin, and thus
introducing germs and spreading infection.

clean towels
This will give skin a fresh and clean look, in spite of its
current difficulties. Designed to move quickly through the
process, do this when you need the reassurance that you, too,
will have beautiful and healthy skin. Most experts do agree
that anything in excess can cause a break out. Avoid extreme
temperatures, hot or cold, and strong winds. Avoid foods that
dilate blood vessels. This list includes hot drinks and alcohol
and spicy foods. Anything that you can visualize turning your
skin red, you need to avoid digesting. Intense exercise can be a
culprit by increasing hormone levels that are already running
amuck. Don’t allow yourself to get too hot. Suck down ice, if
necessary. Say no to cigarettes. If you do smoke, go look in the
mirror and see the first reason you need to quit! Smoking
impairs vascular health and circulation. Your skin is not
receiving the property nutrients to be well. Learn what is
triggering your symptoms. If that’s not obvious, do it by
process of elimination until you discover what sets your
particular condition off. It may be something you truly enjoy or
are required to do, running track, for instance. If so, find
ways to modify the activity to lessen the impact on your skin
care and routine.
