- Use lukewarm water. The water used on your face should always be
lukewarm. If you make it too hot, you will dehydrate your skin, making it
more prone to damage. You may also scald or even burn your skin. If it’s too
cold, the water will dry your skin.
- Be gentle. Some people think they ought to scrub their skin raw, but
this is one of the things to avoid. You should instead be careful not to
damage or tear your skin. Exfoliation is good because it will help remove
dead skin cells, but be careful and so you will not hurt yourself.
- Toning is ok. Toning helps keep the skin clear and firm, which is good.
The best tones around are those containing alpha hydroxy acids and glycolic.
Avoid those made with alcohol and those that are marked photosensitive.
- Moisturize your skin. Moisturizers work by preventing the loss of water.
They either draw moisture to the outer layer of the skin, or coat the skin's
surface with a film of substance, thus sealing moisture into the skin. The
best substances for an intensive moisture treatment are pure vitamin E, or
Aloe Vera oil. The oil is available in liquid form. You can also break open
a capsule and apply the oil directly to the skin. This is a great treatment
for the sensitive skin under your eyes. This part of your face is one of the
first to succumb to show signs of aging because it secretes none of the oils
that keep skin supple and firm.
Take good care of your skin. Nobody else will do that for you.
Summer is coming, show
everyone your beautiful skin!
Get rid of spots and blemishes now!
If nobody has ever seen you going out in summer in a skimpy T-shirt or in
nothing else than a plain swimsuit then it’s a fair bet to say that your acne is
not confined to your face. This means that you’re not just scared to look in the
mirror at your face, but you also have to hide your body from the eyes of other
people.
Acne doesn’t appear only on your face
Although most of the acne treatment industry prefers to focus on facial acne,
since it’s the most obvious and also most common of all types, there are still
many people suffering from acne flare-ups on their backs and upper arms. Another
factor that contributes to this situation is the resistance to treatments of
back acne. The skin on your back is made of tougher tissues than facial skin and
its thousands of follicles produce far more oil, which means that a pore’s
chances of clogging and turning into a pimple are much bigger.
The same goes for your chest and upper arms. These areas of the body are less
exposed to dust and airborne pollution, but suffer from increased exposure to
sweat and from the irritation caused by clothes and backpacks. This irritation
is one of the causes behind acne flare-ups and can sometimes bring dormant acne
back. But since you cannot go around naked, especially since dust would simply
replace clothes as an irritation factor, you have to do something about acne.
Our recommendation
Our recommendation is the ClearPores anti-acne system, one of the few on the
market to come with a body wash and cream alongside the staple facial products.
The oil-free body wash will help you fight acne on your back, chest and arms by
unclogging your pores and expelling all the bacteria and oil that cause pimples
and other blemishes. Aside from the body wash containing SD Alcohol and
Salicylic Acid, the system includes herbal pills, which fight acne-causing
bacteria from the inside, and a protection cream that keeps your skin healthy
and acne-free through the day.
How to use
Before applying the body wash, you should wet the areas attacked by acne with
warm water. Gently massage the wash into the skin concentrating on both the
areas where acne has reared its ugly head and on those that have been subject to
flare-ups in the past. Keep the substance on your skin for 2 to 3 minutes and
rinse with cool water. The body wash should be used twice a day for optimum
results. Wait 5-10 minutes after using the body wash before applying the
protection cream. The purpose of the cream is to continue fighting the causes of
acne and to protect from renewed attacks by bacteria.
