Steps To Clear, Acne-Free Skin

Hundreds
of medications, treatments, cleansers and cosmetics are available for
people with acne, but the most important elements of an acne-fighting
program won’t cost you a cent.

1. Nourish your skin by eating a healthy and balanced diet.

Most
health care specialists agree that a healthy diet will benefit your
skin. Cut down on caffeine, sugar and refined carbohydrates, all of
which can activate the hormones that tell your sebaceous glands to
produce more oil. Add more fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, juices and
other healthy treats to your daily diet, and you’ll see in improvement
in your skin.

2. Drink lots of water to maintain the skin's elasticity.

Plenty
of water is essential to the health of your skin. One of the main
activities of the body’s self-healing system is to filter the blood, a
job performed mostly by the kidneys, with help from the skin in the form
of perspiration. This self-healing system removes the toxic wastes of
metabolizing food and of other harmful substances that get into our
bodies one way or another.

This purification system operates
efficiently only if the volume of water flowing through it is sufficient
to carry away the wastes. 6 to 8 glasses (64 fluid ounces) of water a
day is the recommendation. To reach your quota, carry bottled water with
you in your car, your purse, your briefcase—wherever you go.

Get the water habit, and your skin will thank you for it.

3. Exercise regularly for good circulation.

Get
into a regular routine of exercise. Do it for at least half an hour,
five days a week. Exercise improves your blood circulation, helping your
body clear toxins from your system, including your skin. Better
circulation also increases the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to your
skin. Exercise also relieves stress, which is a common cause of acne
flare-ups. Last but not least, exercise releases endorphins, the "feel
good" substance in your brain that puts a smile on your face—the best
beauty secret of all.

4. Cleanse your face—then tone, moisturize, and exfoliate.

At night
* First remove your makeup with an oil-free makeup remover and a cotton ball.
* Then wash your face with lukewarm water and an oil-free, non-comedogenic (doesn’t block pores) cleanser.
* Pat (don’t rub) it dry with a soft towel.
* And apply an oil-free moisturizer.

In the morning
* Wash your face as directed above, then use an alcohol-free toner.
* Next apply moisturizer.
* Then apply makeup—all oil-free and non-comedogenic.

Once
or twice a week use an exfoliator with alpha hydroxy acid or glycolic
acid. This will aid in the shedding of dead skin cells, the “food” for
the bacteria that cause pimples.

If you exercise during the day, you’ll need to wash your face a third time, immediately afterward.

5. Protect your skin from the sun and harsh weather.

One
popular myth about acne is that tanning will clear it. It may seem so
at first, but soon you will notice that your tanned skin becomes less
pliable, making it less able to shed oil and dead skin cells, which clog
your pores. Your acne will become worse, not better.

Always
wear sun block with at least an SPF-15 UVA & UVB rating. If you’ll
be outside in the sun for long, wear a wide-brimmed hat.

6. Get plenty of good-quality rest.

Your
immune system requires energy to do its work, including the work of
protecting your skin from acne. The deep sleep the brain needs for
“recharging” comes several hours into the sleep cycle. That’s why a few
hours here and there won’t do. Most people need at least 6 to 8 hours of
sleep a night. Consider it beauty sleep.

If you make these 6
items part of your daily routine, you’ll look better, feel better, and
have less need of expensive acne treatments and cosmetics
