We all need to follow a skin
care regime that can keep
or skin looking and feeling
its best. But those of us
who suffer from acne must
be especially vigilant about
the methods and products we
use. Acne prone skin is very
sensitive to the dyes, perfumes,
and chemicals that are in
many beauty products. If you
have mild to moderate acne,
here are the tips and techniques
that can help improve the
look and condition of your
skin.
Acne Skin Care: Dealing With
Problem Skin
Beauty Products
You have probably heard of
dry skin, oily skin and combination
skin. If you have acne, you
may have decided that your
skin type is either oily or
combination. But actually,
it's neither of these. Acne
prone skin falls into a completely
different category: problem
skin. Problem skin .
If you are prone to developing
acne, you should look for
skin care products that are
made to deal with acne. Don't
use any beauty products that
have added dyes and perfumes,
as these ingredients can seriously
aggravate your blemishes.
Use a natural product like
Oxy-Skin™ for your facial
needs.
Nutrition
There are a number of vitamins
and minerals that can be used
to improve the look and condition
of your skin. The mineral
zinc, and vitamins A, C, and
E, and B-complex vitamins
like vitamin B6 are often
used to support acne treatment,
as these vitamins are very
important for the health of
your skin. Eating foods that
are rich in sulphur may also
be helpful as sulphur helps
to cure acne. Garlic and onions
both contain a good supply
of sulphur. Your health care
provider may also recommend
that you avoid eating sugar,
fried foods, or foods that
have a high fat content. Also
eliminate any sugar based
carbonated beverages.
Acne Skin Care: The Dos and
Don'ts
Acne prone skin needs special
care. Here are the dos and
don'ts of caring for skin
with acne:
DO
•Gently wash your skin
with warm water and a mild
natural facial cleanser. Washing
your skin twice a day will
help to remove debris and
pollutants that could block
pores.
•Choose oil free cosmetics
and beauty products. Regular
make up contains fatty acids
that are higher in fat than
the fatty acids in your skin.
Look for organic cosmetics
that are made for sensitive
or acne prone skin.www.make-up-cosmetics.com
DON'T
•Over wash your skin.
Excessive scrubbing will aggravate
acne and more causes blemishes
to open up and spread.
•Pick your skin. Never
pick, squeeze or abrade your
acne blemishes. Squeezing
a pimple or other blemish
can cause permanent scarring.
And breaking the scar can
allow a secondary bacterial
infection to take hold.
•Smoke. Cigarette smoke
is a toxin that is destructive
to the organs both inside
and outside the body.
•Use skin toners. Skin
toners provide extra cleansing
to skin, but they are made
of very drying ingredients
such as alcohol and acetone
that could be damaging to
skin.
•Expose your skin to
sun. Many people think that
sunlight will improve acne.
And while it's true that some
sun exposure may help dry
up surface acne blemishes,
prolonged sun exposure can
damage skin and make acne
worse in the long run.
Acne Skin Care: The Cover
Up
No matter how well you care
for your acne prone skin,
there will still be times
when stress, climate changes,
or pollution cause you to
breakout with unsightly blemishes.
When this happens, you can
reduce the appearance by concealing
the irritated skin with make
up. However, special care
is necessary when choosing
cover up products and techniques
to avoid calling more attention
to the area. Here's the best
way to conceal acne:
1.Wash and moisturize your
face with a gentle facial
cleanser. Start with a clean
and fresh slate before applying
any cosmetic products.
2.Look for a natural cover
up product that has a high
level of pigment. The more
pigment the product has, the
less of it you can put on
while still getting good coverage.
And do a swatch test with
the product to ensure that
it matches your skin tone
exactly. Take a drop of the
product and rub it on your
skin. It should match your
skin tone but you should not
be able to see your skin underneath.
This will provide the right
amount of coverage to conceal
a blemish.
3.Apply concealer in natural
light. It is very important
for your concealer to blend
seamlessly with your face.
