Eat A Healthy Diet A diet rich in vegetables, low Glycemic Index carbohydrates and lean protein can go a long way to helping clear up your skin of pimple. It was once a point of debate whether diet could help clear up acne or if it was an old wives tale. However, recent studies done by researchers at RMIT University have shown that diet does indeed have a link to clearer skin and helps reduce any further acne breakouts. Water, Water, Water You hear it all the time – DRINK MORE WATER!
It’s cliché, but it’s true. Water is not only good for your body, but also good for your skin. To help become acne free, it’s essential that you drink plenty of water. That means 6 to 8 glasses a day. Why drink water? Because water helps the kidneys filter toxins from the body. The more hydrated the body is, the better the kidneys can do their job. Also, the skin helps in this purification process through perspiration. If the body is not properly hydrated, the pores can become clogged and whiteheads or blackheads (comedonal acne) can form. By drinking more water, the body can flush out better and is less likely to clog the skin. Exercise Exercise to become acne free or clear acne? Yep. It all goes back to removing toxins from your body. Exercise improves your circulation. Better circulation helps get those nasty toxins out of your body quicker, thus reducing the chance of buildup and clogging. Ideally, you should exercise five days a week for around a half hour. This will also help reduce stress, another common pimple trigger. Your Daily Cleaning Routine Can Make A Difference In the morning, you want to wash your face to remove any dead skin and built up oil that has accumulated from the night before. Next, make sure to apply a good quality toner and moisturizer. The toner should be alcohol free, so as not to dry out your skin. After this, you can now apply your makeup. In the evening, remove your makeup with an oil-free makeup remover. After all of your makeup is off, you’ll want to rewash your face with a good quality cleanser that is oil-free and won’t block your pores. Make sure when you dry your face; you pat it dry and don’t rub it. Finally, apply a good quality moisturizer. A couple of times a week, you’ll also want to use a good exfoliator. This will help remove the dead skin cells that bacteria feed off of to form whiteheads and blackheads. With the proper routine, it isn’t hard to become acne free and prevent further acne breakouts.
