There is nothing that diminishes a teenager?s confidence faster than acne. Clear skin can make a huge difference in a teenager?s outlook on themselves. Here is my top clear skin tip, along with 3 other helpful tips to clear your skin or your teenager?s skin.
Top Clear Skin Tip ? STOP using over the counter harsh cleansers
Harsh cleansers do nothing to help your skin. They actually make it worse by drying it out and irritating the skin. Yes, harsh cleansers will clear up acne for a very temporary amount of time. They will not get it under control or get your skin to stay clear.
Tip #2 ? Use only water to wash your face
Use only hot and cold water to clean your face. Start with water as hot as you can handle and splash it on your face 3-4 times. Then, dry your face by dabbing it with a towel. Then, use cold water to wash your face in the same manner. This will open your pores, clean them out, and close them back up without irritating your skin at all.
Tip #3 ? Start taking a whole food natural vitamin
Whole food vitamins are great for your skin. They give you all the nutrients you need to be able to fight acne and they support the entire body. It is important that you get the nutrition you need or you will not be able to clear your skin as easily.
Tip #4 ? Avoid artificially sweetened foods and beverages
High fructose corn syrup is the worst thing in the world for your skin. All it does is create stress in your body and allow you to break out easier. Plus it is very unhealthy for your body and skin.
Start clearing your skin with these tips and if it is still not working see a dermatologist. They are a skin specialist and can help, if necessary.
