Have you tried every beauty product you can think of, and still can’t get clear skin? While some people need to resort to medical treatment, others need to simply change some habits. These are the top ten ways to get clearer skin.
1 Use Sunscreen Every Day:You have heard it before, but it needs repeating—sunscreen will help prevent fine lines, wrinkles, signs of aging, and skin cancer.
Exercise is good for a multitude of reasons, and one of those reasons is it helps keeps your skin healthy. Many already know that exercise is beneficial to your heart, lungs, and brain, but it rewards the skin as well. Anyone who has acne, psoriasis, or rosacea will want to keep his or her skin extra protected, but all people should still work out. Working out will increase blood flow, which will keep your skin cells healthy with nutrition. The increased blood flow will also take away waste products such as free radicals. Check out a local, inexpensive gym and get your workout on.
Whether you work out in the morning or night, you need to wash your face before and after you turn up the heat. In the morning and throughout the day, your skin acquires all matter of dirt, oil, and debris that will clog your pores and create acne. On the other hand, no matter where you work out you will gather more dirt and debris that will affect your skin later. The gym equipment you use has been shared with dozens of people, and not all gym equipment will be cleaned properly. That means, that when you hold on to the bars at the elliptical or put your hands on a set of hand weights, you just transmitted all of the bacteria on to your hands. When you get home, put your towel in the dirty hamper and then wash your face. Use the same routine as before, with gentle cleansing included. To remedy body acne, take your workout clothes off as soon as you get home or to the locker room and wash your body. If you have thick skin, you may want to use a body scrub. If you normally use a cystic acne treatment for deep-rooted lesions, try to use something more gentle during your after-gym cleanses, as excessive use of harsh treatments can dry out your skin and make acne worse.
What you put into your body is just as important for your health as how you treat your skin outside your body. Hydration, for example, is paramount to skin health. Just like with exercise, drinking water increases blood flow to your skin, which will help nourish the cells.
It is easy to forget that we transfer our body oils to our sheets every night. At the end of the week, we practically lay in our own oils. All of the grease and bacteria from your hair gathers on your pillows, and your cheeks touch all of the grime left by your hair and your face from previous nights.
You may already know that smoking is bad for you in almost every way. However, smoking also has the effect of creating fine lines, wrinkles, acne, and dull skin. If you want healthy skin, ditch the cigarettes to allow your skin to maintain a healthy youthful glow.
Sugar, especially artificial sugar, is known to cause inflammation in the body and skin. This can mean inflammation of your insides, such as joint pain and increased the frequency of headaches, as well as dull your skin.
Protein found in meats such as fish and beef is essential to giving your skin the amino acids it needs to build collagen. If you are not a meat-eater, try vegetarian-friendly options that give your body optimal amino acids in order to maintain healthy skin.
Sleep is integral to healthy skin. Get the appropriate amount for you—usually about seven to eight hours—in order to allow your body to rebuild damaged cells and skin tissues. If you’ve found it difficult to get the right amount of shuteye, consider trying Sleep Genius.
It is simple—you transfer bacteria to your skin when you touch it. Your keyboard, mouse, phone, and steering wheel are riddled with acne-causing bacteria. If you must touch your face, wash your hands thoroughly first.
