Fruits effect on acne

31 May

In research for this site I have been trying out a few experiments. This past week I have made a massive increase in my intake of fruit and veg. I spent a good twenty pounds at the market and got bags and bags of fruit …would it help remove the acne?

Well the results are looking good…I have noticed a decrease in the level of acne breakout, although this could be something to do with the sunny weather we have been recently having…the point is it cant do any harm, so i would recommend more, more fruit and veg and fight your nasty acne!

Acne Removal Tip – Toothpaste?

25 May

This is an odd one for removing acne.

It may not work, this method did wonders on my acne for a few weeks and then stopped working – maybe by skin built up resistance? This sounds bizarre but does wonders on nasty acne.

You will need:

  • Toothpaste
  • Ice
  • Bedtime

After your shower at night, dry your face fully. Next run an ice cube over a nasty acne area – yes its cold, but worth it. Wait for the area to dry and now apply toothpaste, wait for it to dry and then go to bed.

When you awake – hopefully the area will be reduced! – let us know if it works!

Acne Prevention Tip 2 – Diet

This one works really well, I can testify so myself! Look after yourself, give your body what it needs, unfortunately this means more fruit and veg.

Your skin is classed as an organ, and so the largest in your body. It requires lots of vitamins found in vegetables – you can even take supplements. A healthy diet will help reduce acne breakout, and help keep your body in tip top shape!

Try it for one week, you’d be surprised with the results you will see with your acne!

Acne Prevention Tip 1: exercise

You are possibly not going to like this tip. Its not particularly suited to my lifestyle either, but makes complete sense if you think about it.

Preventing Acne with Exercise

It simply works. Exercise reduces stress (which we all know is a cause of acne) – But be careful, exercise will make you skin oily and sweaty – a perfect breeding ground for acne bacteria, follow these tips and you can exercise and get rid of acne!

  • Clothing – dont wear anything tight fitting whist working out – sure it (may) make you look sexy, hot, cool, whatever the young slang word is of the moment. But the fact is that tight fitting clothes will trap in body moisture (sweat) Find something loose and cotton – you may be able to find such clothing with a trendy slogan on it, so you can still look cool / sexy etc.
  • Clean your clothes! – after every workout FULLY clean your clothes, you dont want any nasty bacteria living there ready to attack you again! Dirty, damp clothes will only irritate your skin
  • Wash yourself! – after every work out take a shower – get rid of your oily sweaty skin as soon as you can!
  • Dont exersise with makeup / products on – you know this one right? – you must! – dont add anything to your face that will clog pores whilst on a workout
  • WATER – Drink water, it flushes the system and keeps you going!

I hope these tips have been of some help, please do write in with any more you may have

A quick introduction to Acne

23 May

Do you suffer from acne? Are you trying to stop it? – you’re not alone, everybody struggles with acne at some point in their lives. Almost all girls from school age to older women, and men suffer from acne. True, acne inst dangerous or harmful, but can cause you stress with your appearance.

How is acne caused?

Basicly its all about oil- Acne is caused by harmones in the skin’s oil glands, which causes open pores which in turn leads to spots – usually on the face, back, chest and neck area. If you find a permanent mark or scar caused by acne you should see a doctor for serious treatment – it can lead to further conidtions

How to remove acne

Here are some easy to follow steps to help you:

  • Wash. Most important of all is to try and keep your skin as clean as possible, as often as possible. Try to clean twice a day using a soft cleanser with water. If you have sensitive skin, ask to speak to a pharmacesist at your local supermaket.
  • Use products. If you speak to your doctor he/she will be able to advice suitable products to use – some of these may not be available over the counter. Dont loose hope – this medication can take some time to kick into action – normaly a couple of weeks
  • Be careful when using cosmetics. – Try to find oil free products, adding oil to an oily face will make things worse
  • Vitamins – try taking vitamins, particularly Vitamin E – which is wonderful for a healthy skin. It is normally found in fresh fruit and veg, but also available in pill form
  • Life Style – try to exercise and eat a balanced health diet. Aim for low fat fresh foods
  • WATER! - The body’s life force, drink as much as you can! It helps flush toxins from the body

Its not difficult to remove acne. Living healthy with a balanced diet, and lots of water will do a lot of the work. Try it for yourself..free yourself from nasty acne!
