Choosing natural acne care

by Peter

I go for natural beauty, so when it comes to my skin, I make use of natural acne care. Unlike others who use medication to treat their acne, I like to do it the more natural way. My skin is oily and sensitive enough as it is and I don’t want to aggravate its condition whenever pimples appear.

Let me share some effective tips on natural acne care that you can check out for yourself:

• Drink at least 8 – 10 glasses of water to get hydrated. Water, naturally, cleanses the body by flushing out the toxins. When you drink the right amount of water, it shows on your skin.

• Get sufficient sleep. Your body needs to get the proper rest, at least 8 hours a day. Whenever I lack sleep, my skin not only looks stressed out the following day. Pimples and bumps begin to pop out.

• Exercise regularly, at least 30 minutes a day. Whether doing household work or working out at the gym, it is just the same, as long as you work up a sweat. Exercise has the same effect as water in cleansing our system, inside and out. It has skin benefits, too.

• Always clean the face before going to sleep. If not, all impurities you attain during the day sit on your skin while you are asleep.

Do not use hot water on the thought that it would be best to clean your skin. It, actually, dries it up, causing it to tighten and trap oil in the skin’s pores. Cold water, likewise, traps oil inside since it closes the pores. When the face is totally clean, only then could you wash with cold water.

• Use cosmetics that are safe for the skin such as mineral face powders that can, also, do the job of covering acne, effectively.

• For acne prone skin, it would be a good regimen to make your own facial mask made of honey and apples. Green tea is, likewise, a natural remedy to keep hormonal levels that are said to cause acne, at bay.

• When a pimple appears, dab some tree oil on it. It kills the bacteria without the risk of drying the skin unlike formulations with benzoyl peroxide.

• Always moisturize the skin. Before I learned how to use a moisturizer, I thought I didn’t need it because I had oily skin and did not want to add more to the oil I, already, have. However, this is an essential step in making my complexion smooth and even. It also opens up my pores.

I use a light, oil free moisturizer that matches my oily skin. It does not clog my pores in any way. At the same time, it is good anti-aging product.

Natural acne skin care has its long term outcome. There is no need to be dependent on prescriptions that may not only be pricey, but also prove to be further irritating to the skin, especially, those that are sensitive like mine.
