Fast Acne Treatment Secrets for Summer

Two Tested and Natural Secrets that Help Eliminate Acne

For many people, battling acne is a life-long process, but for some, acne may only appear habitually during the hot summer months. With increases in temperature, sweat is induced more easily, which can clog the skin’s pores. Also, some people wear sunscreens that saturate the skin’s pores contributing to or worsening acne. As a previous acne sufferer, not only did I have acne all year round, but it became worse in the summer! Are you looking for an all natural acne treatment that does not require the emptying of your bank and actually works? You are just in luck as these two simple, tested, and non-costly treatment secrets will have your skin looking gorgeous for the summer and a lifetime.

Secret Number One: Consume a High Vitamin C Based Breakfast Every Morning.

The reason why this act works is because vitamin C assists the body in repairing itself which is vastly critical to healing acne. It is important to consume this vitamin in the food you eat for breakfast because it is easier for the body to absorb vitamin C early in the morning when the stomach is empty. This action of incorporating plenty of natural vitamin C in the diet first thing in the morning helps speed up the body’s recovery from acne. Be sure to drink a tall glass of plain water with your meal. Some suggestions for high vitamin C foods to eat in the morning are any type of fresh berries, cherries, kiwis, grapes or watermelon with seeds, or mangoes. Eat enough of one type of these fruits for breakfast each day so that you are not hungry. For example, one kiwi, ¼ cup of berries, or a handful of grapes is probably not going to fill you up for breakfast! Do not worry about caloric or sugar content (unless you are a diabetic or have other health conditions) as these fruits are low in calories, plus contain fiber and pure water which is beneficial to the body. After eating a high vitamin C breakfast, it is a good idea to first rinse your mouth with water, and then brush your teeth.

Secret Number Two: Eliminate (or drastically reduce) All Form of Oils From Your Eating Plan.

The reason why this action works is because oils require a lot of digestion time in the stomach. When trying to cure acne, you want your body to spend more time on trying to restore itself to health than spending hours trying to digest fat. If the body is spending a ton of time digesting food, it does not leave much room for trying to rehabilitate and heal itself. As oils are heated, they produce free radicals and become toxic to the body which will not advocate healthy skin. It is wise to avoid even the healthy oils such as olive oil until your acne is healed. When your acne is healed, you may slowly incorporate olive oil into your diet if necessary. However, if your diet already contains a reasonable amount of fat, you do not need extra oils. For example, if you eat whole eggs, meats which contain fat, dairy products, and/or nuts everyday, it is not necessary to include oil in your diet. Besides adding oil to foods eaten, it is hidden in other items such as salad dressings, pasta sauces, and frozen items. It may be very difficult to completely eliminate oils from your diet, so drastically reducing them and applying secret number one will help you achieve perfect skin for life.

Look Younger & Avoid Wrinkles: Mammoth Sized Saboteurs That Cause The Skin To Rapidly Age

July 15th, 2008

It is not how many skincare products you own, how many minutes you invest in your skincare routine, or even how much money you spend on expensive skincare products that determine how beautifully you are aging. The real secret to having gorgeous skin is to have a careful, but quick and inexpensive routine. It is better to do twenty five quality sit-ups with correct form than fifty fast ones with an improper form, right? Your routine should be careful by consciously recognizing exactly what you are placing onto your skin and into your body.

Recent studies indicate that there are many ingredients in commercial products that are very hazardous and further irritate the skin. Your routine should be quick so that it is easy to stick to in the long term and you will not feel too tired performing it, even after long days. Your routine should be inexpensive so that it is easy to maintain and can still do so if you are on a tight budget. You have heard the advice to wear sunscreen over a zillion times by now probably, but all the sunscreen in the world will not make much of a difference if you make these mistakes that are about to be mentioned below.

First mistake: Not removing all makeup (or other unnatural facial products) thoroughly and washing twice every night.

It is crucial to completely clean off the face and neck if you wear any facial makeup such as foundation, blush, concealer, eye shadow, etc. This is one of the main contributing factors to clogged pores that could lead to acne and older looking skin (from previous foundation piled up on each other which will create an uneven, blotchy texture that may cause the skin to look older). One wash will not be enough. After cleansing off the makeup with an all natural makeup remover (to avoid harsh chemicals) be sure to wash the face twice with a gentle cleanser. This is to make sure all the makeup is off. After cleansing, gently blot dry with a clean towel, and apply a rich moisturizer.

Second mistake: Not letting water and tea make up 99 % of all beverages consumed regularly.

For the most part, let most of your beverage consumption be only from decaffeinated tea and water. Let water be around 90% of your beverage consumption and tea be around 10 %. From my experience, I drink around sixty-four ounces a day that the experts state, but some days I go under this amount, and some days over. It depends on a lot of different factors such as climate, exercise duration, sickness, etc. Water cleanses out toxins and wastes that could clog your system. Dehydration can lead to acne, constipation, premature wrinkles, and dry and dull looking skin.

Tea helps prevent wrinkles with its enormous antioxidant content. Dr. Stephen Hsu mentions that tea (especially green) helps alleviate skin problems such as rosacea and wrinkles. Be sure to purchase a brand of naturally decaffeinated tea using the process that involves water and carbon dioxide. Some other naturally decaffeinated teas use a method involving ethyl acetate, but studies reveal this type of process removes most of the beneficial phenols in the tea.

Fruit juices (excluding fruit juice from a raw fruit), coffee, and refreshments should be minimally consumed, if at all. Fruit juices are too high in sugar content and refreshments are mostly composed of chemicals and hazardous genetically modified ingredients (which is detrimental to your skin and body). Caffeine is known to dehydrate the body which may cause wrinkles, so it is best to stay away from coffee for the most part. There are decaffeinated versions to coffee, but coffee does not offer the antioxidant protection of tea.

Third mistake: Not using an eye cream starting from age 20 at the latest.

The under eye area is the quickest and easiest way to determine the age of someone. It is best to start using eye creams as young as possible to avoid premature wrinkling. To prevent the formation of wrinkles in this area from starting is far more effective than trying to cover up settled in wrinkles. The under eye area does not contain any naturally secreting oil glands. It is critical to provide natural oils under the eyes. If you avoid taking care of this area, over time, that area will develop wrinkles faster than any other area on the face.

You do not have to use a commercial eye cream to receive great benefits. I no longer use commercial skincare products because I have found greater improvements in my skin by staying close to nature as possible. I use grocery store bought oils and certain foods on my skin in place of commercial skincare products. A money and time saving trick is to use your moisturizer as a double up. Just apply only a small amount under the bone of the eye (not directly under the eye) and let it absorb into that area itself. Also, with some left over chilled)green tea, dip an eye gauze inside the cup to use as eye padding (with your eyes closed of course). Let the gauze stay on for at least ten minutes or more.

Acne, Whiteheads, Blackheads, And Dull Skin—Improve Your Skin Now With This All-Natural 3 Day Crash Course

July 15th, 2008

Having clear healthy skin is a wonderful essential for many people. This all natural three day crash course will give you a simple, yet effective regime that improves your skin’s clarity, tone, youthfulness, smoothness, and radiance in just three days.

Day One of Your Beauty Crash Course

Facial cleansing routine: Crush a few fresh strawberries (that you’ll be eating for breakfast). Crush the strawberries to a pulp-like texture. Slather this texture on your facial and neck skin. Let it stay in your skin for 10 minutes or more and rinse with lukewarm water.

For breakfast, eat as many fresh strawberries as you desire. An organic variety is most preferred as non-organic versions are high in pesticide residuals. If you can’t find organic (or you’re on a tight budget) then look for a local farmer’s market to buy your strawberries from. Be sure to eat the strawberries alone. It is also critical to wait 2 hours or more before eating other foods for the day. Eating strawberries (alone) helps your skin appear radiant because of the super high dosage of the vitamin C content. The vitamin C in the berries can be absorbed more efficiently by the body if eaten alone than with other foods or fruits. Using strawberries externally will exfoliate and cleanse the skin.

The surplus benefit is it is known that vitamin C can be absorbed in the skin. Since these berries are super high in vitamin C, a high concentration of vitamin C will be absorbed into your skin! Forget about those expensive vitamin C sprays on the market-The vitamin C you’ll have absorbed in your skin will stay in your skin (even after you wash it) for up to four days! And yes, you may use your regular facial skincare products as you desire (after doing the regime).

Day Two of Your Beauty Crash Course

Facial cleansing routine: Mix about 2 teaspoons of lemon juice with warm water and wash your face with the mixture. Do not get any of the lemon juice in your mouth. Rinse with cool water. This routine helps brighten up your complexion.

For breakfast: Eat as many blueberries as you desire for breakfast.

These are best to purchase organic as berries are high in pesticide residuals. You could buy frozen organic blueberries; they are fair in price and can keep for a long time. Wait 2 hours or more before eating anything else for the day. This is optional, but if you desire instant smoother, radiant, and softer skin, this is a very beneficial trick to try: At night, before going to bed, slather honey on your facial and neck skin. Wait about 25 minutes before washing it off with cool water.

Day Three of Your Beauty Crash Course

Facial cleansing routine: Mash a ripe banana. Slather it all over your face and neck. Use circular upward motions to thoroughly rub the banana’s matter in your skin. Let it settle in your skin for three minutes or so and rinse it off with lukewarm water. Make sure not to get any of the banana’s matter inside your mouth.

Breakfast: Eat as many cherries you desire. These are probably cheaper and better to buy frozen (organic is preferred). Eat them alone and wait 2 hours (or more) before eating other foods. Nighttime routine: If you have acne, slice up a tomato. Rub its contents over your face and neck. Rinse after 10 minutes or so.
