Free tips for skin care beauty!

 

Keeping your complexion clear day in and day out can be a challenge.

On Monday you may find yourself struggling to hide a zit so huge, it could easily qualify for it's own zip code.

But, by Friday, Sahara dry skin is the topic of the day.

Skin can be unpredictable, to say the least!

Fortunately there are a few simple beauty tricks you can use to keep your skin blemish free, healthy and beautiful year round!

Try a few of these simple, yet effective free tips for skin care beauty and start seeing a clearer more beautiful complexion as early as tomorrow morning!

 

 

Want to stop pimples in their tracks?  Then stop them from forming in the first place.

 

Discard old face foundation and make up that will clog pores from harmful bacteria build up. 

 

Using out of date cosmetics can lead to clogged pores, pimples, even skin infections.

 

Wash applicator sponges and brushes after each use, and allow to dry before reusing.

 

Better yet, use disposable applicators.

 

Toss out foundation and mascara after 3-6 months.

 

Opt for skin friendly non-comedogenic/hypo-allergenic cosmetics.

 

Cleanse your face nightly before going to bed to remove all traces of pore clogging cosmetics.

 

 

 

2.) Never pop a pimple. 

 

Pimple popping can lead to more serious infection and even scarring.

 

Apply a gentle black head or pimple drying solution, and allow the skin irritation to clear naturally. 

 

To keep pores clear, cleanse your face daily with a product that contains glycolic acid and exfoliate at least once a week.

 

 

Speak to your dermatologist if skin eruptions persist as it may be a sign of a more serious condition, i.e. adult acne that requires prescription treatment.

 

 

 

3.)  Skin changes as we age, becoming more fragile, and dry, unable to renew itself naturally as well as it once did.

 

Aging dry skin can look gray, drab and lifeless.

 

It's unrealistic to think that the same face care products you used as a teen will be sufficient for your 40's.

 

You can help speed up the cell renewal process and renew your skin's glow by selecting skin care products that help remove the dead skin cells to reveal fresh radiant skin beneath.

 

Look for products enriched with alpha hydroxy, Retinols, Pychnogenol, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and ceramides.

 

Collagen enhanced skin creams offer a super intense moisterizing experience to rehydrate dry skin.

 

While pore tightening masks may help alleviate the appearance of large pores.

 

4.) Recent studies have indicated that nearly 100% of wrinkles can be attributed  to exposure from the sun.

To protect your delicate skin's future, apply sunscreen liberally everytime you go out, even if it's just going to be for a few minutes. 

 

 

Not only will this help prevent wrinkles, but also age spots, as well.

 

 

 

5.) Find beauty through balance.

A hectic, fast paced life-style can lead you to make all the wrong choices when it comes to taking care of your skin.

 

Instead of taking the time to care for your skin and yourself, you put the task off till later. As your skin ages, you'll notice that it doesn't bounce back as quickly and begins to look more lack lustre than ever.

 

But, you don't have to surrender willingly to the inevitable.

 

You can help combat the early signs of aging by getting enough rest, drinking plenty of water, and eating a diet rich in anti-oxident containing fruits and vegetables. And, plenty of exercise!

 

 

 

Give your skin a fighting chance at looking beautiful.

 

With a few simple changes to your daily routine, you can keep your skin clear and beautiful for years to come.

 

 

How to stay pimple free...Forever

by Beverly Johnson April 23, 2006

 

Just when you thought that you'd left the teen years far behind, you wake up one morning with a giant zit sitting on the end of your nose.

That's when you realize that pimples are not exclusively reserved for teens!

If you get zits on a regular basis, you know how disruptive they can be.

They're annoying, pop up at all the wrong times and just plain hard to hide!

But, fortunately, there are a few simple things you can do to stop pimples in their tracks and make your pimple prone skin more beautiful? 

 

1. Never pop a pimple. 

 

Pimple popping can lead to more serious skin infection and even scarring. Once you break the skin, you'll allow bacteria from the outside world into your body.

 

To get rid of the pimples you already have, apply a gentle pimple drying solution, and allow the skin irritation to clear naturally. 

 

In a pinch, you could apply a drop of calamine lotion on the zit. (It works to dry up chicken pox bumps, and it'll have a similar effect on a pimple.)

 

 

2.) Never scrub or abrasively rub sensitive skin.

 

3.) Toss out foundation, face powder and mascara after 3-6 months

 

Over time, bacteria begins to build up in cosmetics which can lead to to clogged pores, pimples, even skin infections.

 

 

 

4.) Wash applicator sponges and brushes (or anything else that touches your face) after each use, and allow to dry before reusing.

 

Better yet, use disposable applicators.

 

5.) Opt for skin friendly non-comedogenic/hypo-allergenic skin care and cosmetics products.

Look for the "sensitive skin" version.

 

6.) Wash your hands before you touch your face as the fingertips can easily transfer irritating chemicals (i.e. laundry detergent, or pore clogging dirt or cooking grease) to your skin 

 

 

7.) Cleanse your face nightly before going to bed to remove all traces of pore clogging cosmetics.

 

8.) Avoid stress, junk foods, greasy foods or anything else that may cause you to break out.

And to keep future pimples from forming,

cleanse your face daily with a product that contains pore clearing glycolic acid and exfoliate at least once a week

 

With a few simple adjustments to your daily skin care routine, you can give your skin a fighting chance at looking beautiful...

...and, enjoy more pimple free days!
