Battle Blemishes
Every individual has different skin needs. But what
doesn't differ is that everyone's skin needs to be cleaned to
remove excess dirt brought about by the outside environment. Gentle
cleansing is the first place to start.
Use a water-soluble cleanser:
Water-soluble cleansers are great because they gently cleanse
your skin without stimulating the oil glands. A gentle cleanse does
not cause redness or dryness. It also makes the skin feel soft and
releases oil and dirt gently without damaging the skin.
Once you leave those dry, irritating pore-clogging bar cleansers
and soaps behind, you will notice a distinct difference in the way
your skin looks and feels. But you must remember to ONLY stick to
water-soluble cleansers which are free of exfoliating agents, oil
absorbing ingredients and topical disinfectants. These harsh
ingredients do very little for the skin because these active
ingredients are quickly washed away - not providing any benefit on
the skin at all. These ingredients are best used in the other
stages of the cleansing process - like moisturizers, exfoliators or
for disinfecting the skin.
But it is important to not only cater to the outside of your
body but also you must cater to your body from the inside-out.
Make sure you are eating anti-oxidant rich, non-inflammatory foods
like hazelnuts, salmon, celery, cucumbers, apples, yogurt and
pomegranates.
Many people do not realize this, but there are many natural
foods that can actually lead to skin inflammation. We are always
told to eat fruits and vegetables because they're better for us
than processed foods. However, some of these fruits and vegetables
can actually be detrimental to our skin.
Did you know that inflammation actually plays a role in the
development of swelling and disease? It also plays a role in
acne and aging.
In youthful-disease free skin, when looking at the skin under a
microscope, no inflammation is visible. However it is present in
older skin. This is also the same for acne-prone skin.
Basically, the foods we eat are just as important as the
foods we should avoid - like flour, bread, bananas, cream
cheese, granola and honey. You thought these were good you're your
skin? Nope, think again! These foods are inflammation inducing
foods which can actually leave our skin looking tired, puffy and
prone to break-outs.
The list goes on (with natural foods that are bad for the skin),
but if you want to learn more visit There you
will find all natural tips, information and treatments for acne.
These are the secrets the pharmaceutical and drug companies won't
tell you about.
Take care of your skin it is well
worth it.

naturally in both teenagers and adults.
