Severe Acne

September 15th, 2009

If you have severe acne you will do almost anything you can to get rid of all those ugly bumps you hate on your face but how can you do what you don’t know about. When I was a teenager I had really bad acne and I hated it so bad I hardly went out of the house. In my training to become a cosmetologist I learned about all the techniques I could have used if I had known about them at the time of my acne breakouts.

One of the best ways to find out what your options are is to go to a spa. I know that spas sound like they are for old women to get facials and massages but the truth is spas have so many different ways they can help with acne also. They have things such as micrderm and acne facials that will help you get rid of all that acne that is threatening to ruin your life. This is also a great way to find out how to help you with acne scars if you have them and help you prevent from getting acne scars. So go to your local spa and find out what you can do.

Foods and acne

September 15th, 2009

There are no foods that really cause acne except the foods that contain iodine. The most common place to find iodine is in foods like shellfish. Shrimp crab and lobster are big ones that if you are trying to get rid of acne you really should cut out. The many myths you hear about pizza and chocolate are false they in no way directly cause you to have ace. The problem is if you eat badly in general your body is going to suffer and so your skin will too.

Another big issue with acne is if you have an allergic reaction to food you can cause your skin to break out because the allergy to the food will cause your skin to break out and cause inflammation to the skin which can cause acne to appear on the skin. So if you have really bad acne It would be a great Idea to go see a dermatologist and see if a food is causing your acne to become worse than it would be f your weren’t eating that food. Another good way to find out is by cutting out foods for a week or two that will help you eliminate the food that is causing you to break out and suffer.

Body Acne

September 13th, 2009

Many people who suffer from acne will get zits on other parts of their body such as their back and their chests but there are other places you can get zits. Sometimes if you have a really bad case of acne it can show up on your bum. This is not a fun topic to talk about and is very embarrassing to ask your doctor about but you may be surprised to find out this happens more often than not. The reason is the same as any other part of your body because you have skin on your bum the skin can break out and you can get anal acne.

The best way to treat anal acne is to wash your bum with a face wash that is designed to get rid of acne. The best ones are the ones that exfoliate your skin and help get the pores of your skin clear so they can bring oxygen to your skin and kill the bacteria that are causing the acne. The best time to wash yourself is in the shower just make sure you spend a good amount of time rubbing the face wash in so it really exfoliates the skin and lets it do its job. If your case is really bad you can apply a topical acne gel to it also just is careful when doing so.

Do Bangs Cause Acne?

September 12th, 2009

If you suffer from acne you aould do anything to get rid of it and you probably think you are but let me tell you about something your probably not thinking about that can help you get rid of your acne. If you are breaking out on your forehead and you have bangs you really need to start wearing your bangs out of your face. There are many ways you can pin them back and off your face that still look cute but you really need to pin them back for at least a month or so because all the oil and product in your hair is now rubbing against your skin and cause it to become more oily and causing your forehead to break out.

IF you do this and you see that your forehead is starting to clear up you may just think about growing your bangs out because the second you let your bangs fall back to where they were your forehead is going to just break out again so if this sounds like you then you really should just grow your bangs out until your acne is not an issue anymore. If your worried that the bangs are covering up your acne and you don’t want to pin them back your just creating a cycle that won’t end until you get rid of your bangs.

Glowing Skin

September 11th, 2009

If you think all celebrities have prefect skin and you are the only one in the world with bad skin problems your in for a treat. The truth is celebrities just have good stylists and they really have skin that looks like you and me. I love seeing a celebrity without make-up because it tells me that I am not the freak that they are just as human as you and me and they have flaws too.

If you really want to get celebrity skin you will not have to fork out a ton of money as they do just find the basics of what they use and use it too. For example if they use a 200.00 face wash and scrub then just find a face wash that exfoliates in your own price range there is usually very little difference between what we can afford and what they are buying in the case of what it will do for us and we get to save all the money. So just pay attention to what it is they use and try to find something as close to that as you can in your won price range and you can have celebrity skin too.

mineral make up

September 11th, 2009

The best make up for acne is any type of mineral make up. Mineral make up is good for acne because it will not go into your skin and cause more problems than it helps. Most make ups contain a ton of additives and chemicals that can go into your skin and cause it to break out worse than if you just left it alone. Many of the cheap make ups alos have mineral oil which will really clog up your pores and make you break out.

That is why mineral make up is the best for you because it usually contains no added chemicals and sits just on top of the skin instead of going into the skin. So It makes it great for anyone who suffers from acne. It also covers really well I know looking at it because it’s just a powder you may think it doesn’t cover that well but it does. It is made to be worn alone so it really will cover your problems without making more. Plus with mineral make up its easier to get your right shade because you can mix colors to get your right shade and it will look even better.

Don’t sleep in makeup

September 10th, 2009

I have often been asked if it really is a bad idea to fall asleep with your make up on and is it really that bad for my skin. Well the answer is yes it is. The more you wear your make up to bed the worse off your going to be. Your skin does all its repairing and fixing in the night and if you continually wear your make up to bed you are not allowing your skin to heal properly and you will end up with a lot more pimples because of it.

The makeup also acts as a road block to oxygen for your skin. If your skin doesn’t get that oxygen then it will be harder for your skin to repair itself and the problem just gets worse. If you accidentally leave your make up on once in a while that’s ok its really not enough to make a big deal about it but the more you do it the worse off your skin will get. So the best thing to do is just get in the habit of washing your face and you will have no problem remembering and the next time you forget it won’t be such a big deal

Dove soap

September 10th, 2009

If you are avid dove body wash user let me tell you a little secret about dove body wash. When they make the dove body wash in order to save money they put in a filler called mineral oil. Now this may not sound bad because its what makes your skin so soft when you come out of the shower but let me tell you, you are suffocating your skin if you use this wash. The mineral oil goes into the pores of your skin and causes them to become blocked and then the pores can’t do their job. You may actually notice your getting acne because of the soap also.

If all those pores are blocked by the doe body wash then your skin may get pimples causing your chest or back to break out. So the best way to help your skin is with a good body scrub you can make your own with corse salt and olive oils. Do this once a week to scrub off all the mineral oil that is on your skin and you should be fine and not get any break outs there are also a lot of soaps out there that will help you exfoliate so you don’t have to make your own.

Is Acne Internal?

September 7th, 2009

Your diet totally affects your face just like it affects all of your body. IF you only eat junk food and crap all day your face will totally tell the signs you will break out and it will not be as healthy. Your skin is just a big organ which means it needs nutrients and if you don’t give your skin those nutrients you cannot take care of your skin the way it needs to be in order to take care of all that acne and problems.

But if you eat what your body needs your chances of overcoming those pimples is greater because now your body will have what it needs to fight off the bacteria that is acne. Your body also needs a lot of water. The water flushes out the toxins in your body so that they don’t show up on your face and make you break out. Try drinking ½ your body weight in ounces in water up to three gallons (because you can drink too much water) and see how beautiful your skin becomes. Try all these tips and it will amaze you at how fast your skin becomes beautiful. Good luck
