Everyone
wants to have a acne free face. But let's face it – not everyone is
willing to do the things that are necessary to free your complexion
from dirt, oil and inflammation.
This
is the number 1 rule! Pimples contain nasty bacteria. If you pop your
pimples that bacteria has a chance of getting inside other pores and
giving them a place to stay without charging rent, so to speak . Make
your pimples pay rent. Another disadvantage of popping pimples is
that the skin around the pimple and the pimple itself will become
inflammation will cause even more redness and pain.
Your
hands ( no matter how many times you scrub them) have oils and dirt
on them and are vectors of bacteria. If you're constantly whipping that dirt oil and bacteria back into your face , chances are it's not
going to respond too well.
Many
doctors recommend that you drink between 9 and 12 cups of water per
day (2.2 to 3 liters), depending on whether you are a girl or
guy.(Women should drink 9 cups, men should drink 12.) Your skin is an
organ in your body, too, and like your kidney, it needs adequate
amounts of water to function properly.
Cut
sweet, sugary drinks like sodas, juices, and smoothies out of your
diet. Although the evidence has been disputed for decades, new
reports seem to indicate that diets do have
a substantial effect on acne, listing sugar as a trigger.Sugars
cause a spike in insulin, which in turn stimulates certain pimple
producing hormones.
Drink
less milk. Milk, too, has recently been implicated as an
acne-producing agent. Milk stimulates male sex hormones — testosterone and androgen — that, along with insulin, cause
nasty pimples.
Unsweetened
green tea may be helpful, too. Green tea contains tons of
antioxidants that help fight free radicals; free radicals affect the
cells that may be responsible for signs of aging in the skin. For a
healthy alternative to water, brew some tasty and healthy green tea!
Diet
can help your complexion look its best if you let it. There's nothing
amazing about the following sentence, and you can probably guess what
it's going to be: eat more fruits and vegetables, more healthy fats,
and experiment with probiotics.
People
who eat more fruits and veggies, and less milk and sugar, tend to
have less acne.Make sure you get 5 to 9 servings of healthy
vegetables (especially leafy greens) per day.
Eat
omega-3 fatty acids. There's fat, and then there's healthy fat.
Healthy fats, like omega-3s, help fight inflammation and promote
healthy cells.Omega-3s are damaged by oxygen, meaning if you eat
foods that are rich in omega-3s, try to eat them raw. In a pinch,
baked or broiled is better than boiling or fried. Foods rich in
omega-3s include:
Fish,
particularly salmon, sardines, and herring.
-
Leafy
greens, particularly spinach and arugula.
Consider
probiotics. Probiotics are healthy bacteria found in certain foods,
such as kombucha, that promote good digestive health and cut down
inflammation. Probiotics such as lactobacillus may improve acne.
Look for probiotics at your local grocer's or natural health store.
This
one is another no-brainer. The right kind of vitamins will help your
body create vibrant, wonderful skin and fight acne to boot. Vitamin-A
has been particularly effective in promoting healthy skin. Do not
take vitamin-A if you are pregnant.
Try
evening primrose oil. Evening primrose oil is an anti-inflammatory
omega-6 fat, a deficiency of which may cause acne.Take 1000 to
1500mg twice a day.
Try
zinc citrate. Zinc citrate helps with protein synthesis, wound
healing, and normal tissue function. Take 30 mg a day.
Try
vitamin-E. Critical for skin health, vitamin-E is low in many acne
sufferers.Take 400 IU (international units) a day.
Washing
your face too much will only make your face dry, causing your face to
produce more oils, which unfortunately equals more acne.
What
is a toner? A toner is a lotion or wash that helps shrink your pores
while cleaning grime and dirt away. Be careful about toners with
alcohol because they will wipe away the oil from your face. This
causes more oil to be produced, along with more acne. Find a toner
that is low on alcohol but still effective.
Doctors
aren't completely sure why, but they do know that there is a link
between stress and skin disorders, specifically stress and acne.
Somehow, the cells that produce sebum, which is the stuff that
ultimately causes acne, become unregulated when a person experiences
a lot of stress.
Find
creative outlets for your stress. Some people detach from stressful
situations by taking a walk. Others pour their stress out onto a
canvas by painting. Whatever it is that you do to decompress, do it
early and do it often.
Try
meditation
techniques.
There are numerous meditation techniques, so find the one(s) that
work for you. Some people choose yoga for meditation.
Why
is sleep important? A recent study found that psychological stress
increases by 14% for every hour of sleep you lose a night.As we
learned above, stress can have a deleterious effect on skin, causing
acne.
Speaking
of sleep, change your pillowcase on a regular basis. Consider
wrapping your pillowcase in a towel to absorb oil. You can flip the
towel over the next night.
For
pretty much any ailment aside from muscle or bone damage, exercise is
a panacea. Exercise is a great option for getting your circulation
going, and anything that promotes good circulation also helps keep
your skin healthy and vibrant-looking.A couple things to remember
when you exercise:
Always
wear sunscreen if exercising outdoors. The benefits of getting your
circulation jump started can be outweighed by the disadvantages of
sun damage if you're not careful. Wear sunscreen that is light and
doesn't irritate or sting your skin.
Shower
or clean yourself after you exercise. When you sweat, your pores can
get clogged with salty, dirty residue that's leftover from your
workout. Be sure to wash your body, and especially your face, after
you exercise.
