Clear skin:step by step


Blemishes or pimples often appear on your face,back,chest and shoulders...where skin has greatest amount of oil glands.Few of us are immature to breakouts,but you can prevent or get rid of most acne,i'm gonna tell you some tips to keep your skin clean and clear,that would definetly help in your beauty enhancement.


Don't dry out your skin




Avoid rubbing alcohol or alcohol based- astringents and toners,even if you have oily skin.These products can strip your skin of its natural, protective moisture.This can irritate skin and can make acne worse.


Do use oil-free moisturizer




Healthy skin is moist.Choose an oil-free moisturizer that says"noncomedogenic" in the label.This means it won't clog your pores or cause whiteheads and blackheads.You may hesitate to apply moisturizer on acne-prone skin,but a good moisturizer can actually help calm your skin and keep acne at bay.


Do drink plenty of water




Drink water throughout the day to keep your skin well hydrated.Also,eat a healthy diet with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin A and vitamin E,two vitamins known to benefit your skin.Green leafy vegetables such as spanich and broccoli are rich in vitamin E.Vitamin A is found in colourfull fruits n vegetables such as carrots,peaches,peppers,cantaloupe etc.


Don't use heavy cosmetics




Avoid oil based cosmetics.How can you tell? Follow this simple guidline:creamy foundations and blush can clog pores.Bare mineral cosmetics,which are light and powdery,are less likely to do so.


Do use an oil-free foundation




Do use oil free foundation if you wear makeup.Slash your skin with cold water before applying foundation.Cold water helps close your pores.No matter how tired you are wash your makeup off before your bed.


Don't use greasy hair products




Products such as pomades and gels can clog your pores when your hair brushes against your face.keep your hair clean using a nonacnegenic or noncomedogenic shampoo.If you have oily hair shampoo daily.Shield your face while applying any gel or spray to your hair.


Do keep hair off your face




Pull long hair back when you sleep so it doesn't aggravate your skin.Try to keep your hair away from your face during the day as well.Remmember hair contains oil that can cause breakouts...even if you dont use hair products.


Don't touch your face




Touching or rubbing your skin worsens acne.Also,don't lean your face on your hands.and try to keep your cell phones away from your face.Our hands and cell phones may contain germs that can irritate blemishes.


Don't pop your pimples




Squeezing pimples or blemishes just creates more problems.Resist the temptation.It will delay healing and increses the risk of scaring.Squeezing pimples may also push infected material into the skin,where it can cause additional inflammation and scarring.


Do use acne medicines as directed




Acne medications doesn't work overnight.Most treatments take upto eight weeks of daily use before you see the improvement.It may take as long as six month for your skin to totally clear up.Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions.over use of skin medicines can also cause damage.


Lool into all acne treatments




Don't just live with acne,blemishes and blackheads.If the first cream you apply doesn't work, see your dr or dermatologist to discuss other treatments.There are many types of medicines to help clear your skin.
