How to get clear skin

When we have bad skin we automatically lose our self esteem. We can’t help it. It’s the most visible part of us, and the place everyone sees first. Having a spotty complexion with dirty pores is mortifying for the most secure of us.

Luckily you don’t have to suffer and struggle in silence. Save your pity party on 77 Diamonds for later, and consider your usual skin routine. If your technique isn’t working for you, then take into account some of the tips below.

Face wash – Wash your face twice a day. Morning and night is the general routine. Make sure you are washing your face with hot water, because the heat opens your pores, which allows for the soap to clean them out. Splashing cold water on your face once you are done closes them again, preventing dirt from re-entering.

Cosmetics – Reduce the amount you use. They are the main source of clogged pores. Make-up can be a vicious cycle, because you wear it to cover your spots, but the make-up causes more to sprout. Make sure the products you do use are hypo-allergenic or suitable for sensitive skin.

Hair – Keep your hair off your face if you can. Even if you just sling it up in a ponytail or bun. Your hair contains oils that are notorious for causing acne breakouts.

Hands – Try to keep your hands away from your face for the same reason. The oil in them will only dirty your skin if you lean your hand against your cheeks. You should also try to use applicators to put your make-up on, instead of your fingers.

Sleep – Do not under-estimate the power of a good nights sleep. It is the cure for most skin problems.

Eat well – A healthy and balanced diet is good for your skin. Make sure you include fruits and vegetables, because they have Vitamins A and E, that are great for skin.
