ACNE

Acne Control
Overall, acne control for skin can be improved considerably
by making a few lifestyle changes that aren't that difficult
to make, with just a little determination and willpower.
There is no one magical cure for acne. By following the
advice given below on a daily basis, you can significantly
improve the condition of your skin. Remember that acne
scaring can be permanent, so by taking the right actions
now you can reduce and prevent the amount of scaring
that could be with you throughout your adult life.

Drink Plenty of Water
Water flushes the toxins for our body, keeping us hydrated
and feeling good. You should aim to drink 2 litres of water
every day, drinking small glasses regularly. Coffee, tea,
foods with little or no nutritional value and limit these foods
to occasional treats. You all know which foods I mean!
Cola, alcohol and so on, do not count! These drinks are
counter productive to our system and can actually leave
you dehydrated.

Eat a Health Diet
Eating a well balanced healthy diet has many more benefits
than just healthy and good looking skin, but healthy skin is
one of the result you should see first. Try and eat a high-
fibre diet and include plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables
with your meals. Try to cut out high-calorie, poor quality.

Exercise Regularly
Regular exercise is good for our overall body and general
well being, all of which can only be beneficial to our overall
skin condition.

Shower and Bathe Regularly
Keeping your skin clean is an obvious way to maintaining
healthy skin. Shower or take a bath at least once a day
and remember to only use skin care cosmetics that are
suitable for your skin type. There are many products on
the market, so test a few shower or bath products to find
one that is suitable for you.

Reduce Your Stress Levels
Too much stress in your life can cause many problems,
some much more serious than just bad looking skin. If you
are suffering from stress then take action now against the
causes of it! When you become very stressed your hormones
can become unbalanced causing illness, as well as bad
outbreaks of acne. If you follow the three steps above then
you are already taking the first steps to reducing your stress
levels and becoming healthier.

Cosmetic Treatment
Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) can be used on certain types
of acne. TCA peeling can improve the appearance of acne
and can be beneficial in combination with clinical and
dermatological treatment.
