5 Tips to Clear Acne Fast!
Don't let blemishes hold you back. Take control of your skin with these 5 tips and tricks for clearer skin!
1. Choose the Perfect Cleanser ! Acne prone skin needs a face wash that's powerful enough to clear away oil, dirt and dead skin, but gentle enough not to irritate the skin any further.
2. Use an effective acne treatment serum ! Serums are typically a lightweight, super concentrated, treatment that penetrates deeply, to deliver potent ingredients into the skin. After cleansing, apply an acne fighting serum to your face, avoiding the eye and mouth area. A serum with micronized benzoyl peroxide, glycolic , salicylic or Lactic acid.
3. Ice it! When you feel a new blemish coming on, use an ice cube to dramatically reduce inflammation and the severity of the acne. Icing a blemish will reduce swelling, shrinking the size of the spot and reducing redness. This will also help cut down the lifespan of the blemish! Icing is also particularly good for deep, painful cystic acne.
5. Have a snack! Snack on some cantaloupe, affectionately called a "beauty fruit!" Cantaloupe is rich in vitamin C and beta carotene, which our body converts into vitamin A. Vitamin A promotes healthy skin by thinning the outermost layer of dead skin cells that often get clogged and causes breakouts. It also improves skin elasticity, which means less wrinkles and signs of premature aging. Also, keeping up with your recommended daily amount of water is a must! Proper hydration helps your cells flush out built-up waste and helps your skin self-moisturize, Drinking plenty of water won't 'cure' your acne, but it'll put your body at a better advantage for clear, healthy skin.
