I finally went to the dermotologist! … “Strange Pimple Problems” “Unusual Acne” “Sensitive Skin” “Pro Active” Proactive Dermotologist “Skin Breaking Out Worse” “Red Bumps” “White Heads” “Differen Cream” Tetracycline Antibiotics “Burning Itchy Skin”

Do you desire a clearer, brighter, more even toned complexion? Join the club. As a former cosmetic chemist, turned trichologist, I, too, have been plagued by acne eruptions, dark spots, frown lines, puffy bags, and pimples that are out of this world at this most inconvenient times. I often used the most expensive spa treatments on clients, often provided through samples and catalogs. However, many of these treatments, although made with good intentions, were just not delivering results for my clients, or even myself during my personal applications. To add insult to injury, many of these products were overloaded with chemicals. Now, I personally did not have a problem with the chemicals until one my customers explained her unequivocal aversion to them. Armed with new information from her, I went on a quest to mix up some personal herbal remedies and also seek some natural solutions that I could use on during facials, thermal facial massages, and the such.

It really isn’t hard to achieve more beautiful skin. The key, however, is to first recognize your skin type, your skin issues, and to love your skin! Your skin will never be perfect, but problems can be perfected. Plus, unless you walk around with a personal airbrush, as many of the stars do, blemishes and blotchiness, is just a fact of life. The wind, sun, rain, alcohol, and too much or too little sleep can change your skin from day to day. But, if you nourish your skin, especially with herbs, juices, fruits, oils, and butters, you can experience some amazing results.

Tip #1: Recognize your skin type

Okay, everyone has reviewed and toiled over this information. Do I have combination skin? Do I have dry skin? Is my skin sensitive? Is my skin oily or normal? The answer is yes. Your skin is most likely all of these from time to time; and sometimes, the environment or the application of makeup or other products can make your skin more or less of any of these. Your best bet to strike a balance with your skin and its skin type is to do the following:

- Find a cleanser that is NOT overdrying, but rather, balances your sebum production in the skin and also moisturizing. Cleansers are there to purify, not make your skin feel like the desert. Sometimes, people feel that the lack of oil on the face means your face is clean. But, oh contraire, my fair. In many cultures, oils are used to clarify and cleanse. Oil does not equal grease and despite all the hype about “oil-free” makeup and “oil-free” cleansers, many oils have tannins and natural astringent qualities. This means they are cleansing. Plus, from the Brazilians to the Mayans to West Africans, oils are a very important part of maintaining healthy, brilliant, clear skin. So, do your own research. Try naturally cleansing herbal formulas that contain astringent oils from fruits like grapeseed, orange, and even banana. Also, try products that have fruit juices, like lemon, apple, aloe vera, or lime. I personally love Beauty 4 Ashes’ Naturally Clear Acne Facial Cleanser and Facial Radiance System. The cleanse is a smooth and creamy and clarifies and exfoliates without extra abrasiveness without using chemicals. I love the naturallness of it and it smells great. The system uses an organic sugar facial exfoliator, which naturally contains astrigent and skin energizing properties, to smooth and purify the skin. Absolutely brilliant. It can be found in the UK at mybeauty4ashes.com or discoverb4a.com for the States. You may also try Shiseido radiance cream. Pairing the completeness of the Beauty 4 Ashes Facial Radiance System with the Shiseido Radiance Cream, the skin has a beautiful luminance and during the actual cleansing process, it is only fed all natural ingredients.

Make sure you tone and refine your skin after cleansing, this will help further clarify and refine pores. If you have large pores like I do (thanks mom), you definitely need a toner or facial balancer. Avoid facial balancers that contain alcohol. Alcohol is very drying. It disrupts the skin’s normal pH. A great toner is pure Aloe Vera Juice, which also has great healing properties. This will also help regulate your skin type, no matter the weather.

Don’t forget to moisturize, no matter what! Even if your skin is oily, you need to moisturize it. One, it will fight future wrinkles. You will be grateful for this as you age. I like B4A Natural Kojic Even Tone and Brightening Cream. I apply this daily myself before bedtime and my skin is also luminous the next morning. I give samples to my clients and it has done wonders for fighting future breakouts for them and also brightening dark circles and dark spots from blemishes on the face. It is pretty power packed, and best of all, it is all natural! A little dab does the trick and I am able to take credit for a great natural product without even mixing up the concoction myself. What bliss!

Tip #2: Recognize your skin issues

Target your skin issues. Sometimes, clients may a wham bam thank you ma’am approach to their skin care. They hear all the marketing babble and want do get rid of wrinkles, age spots, acne, dark spots, and have a dewy, fresh face over night. While some products multitask, you also must multitask and have patience.

Focus on clarity, tone, and texture of the skin first. These are skin issues that have developed and drastically effect the surface of the skin. Often, if you tackle these, your skin’s health will increase and your will have a brighter, softer, or dewy complexion. Find a product that focuses on reducing blemishes, have skin smoothing and even tone properties, and also have anti-inflammatory properties. If you want chemicals, I prefer Bliss. If you want all natural, I recommend Beauty 4 Ashes.

Next, tackle issues that affect the skin below the surface, such as collagen production and pH stabilization. These things to tackle issues such as wrinkles, scars, and skin congestion. Believe or not, the best way to do this is to feed your skin what it needs. While acne has not been proven to be caused by what you eat, eating right can definitely make your skin appear more healthy. Eating foods rich in Omega Fatty Acids, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and Vitamin K is very skin friendly. I also recommend client to begin supplementing their dietary supplements of Green Tea, B Complex, Sea Kelp, and Evening Primrose. The skin really shows the difference.

Tip #3: Love Your Skin

You may suffer from horrible acne now; or you may have crow’s feet that are never ending, but times changes and life continues to go forward. Do not live your life in a bubble missing moments of life and days of enjoyment because of your skin. You are more than a face. No matter how cliché it may sound, some of the ugliest people with the worse skin have become idolized in society because they have created an image of beauty and glamour that is only fictional, either through makeup and airbrushing or simply by exuding confidence.

Shaving is a simple job. But that is so, at the normal times. This five minutes operation before the mirror every morning, turns into an ordeal when you have the attack of acne. Because, normally you shave the face as a whole. Now you shave centimeter by centimeter. You feel the facial area very large, even though it is your very same face. Its all red with designer pimples of many sizes- small, smaller and the smallest!

Well, I know shaving is your daily habit and you can’t remain without shaving, even for a day. In the morning, you have a tight schedule, as you have to reach your office in time. And this new found shaving job (on the acne piled pimples) take nearly thirty minutes of your precious morning time.

Now you seek the help of your wife for emergency pads of cotton and antiseptic solutions. There is no problem with this. It is very good if a wife can help her hubby dear during such times.

It will immense help him. No doubt, it is better to avoid shaving or give a go to your daily routine of shaving, by skipping days in between when acne attack. But this is not possible always and he has to shave for some important reasons. Say, he might have to attend some important meeting or appear as a speaker at a conference, where he would like to present himself at his best.

Now the worst part of the shaving is you can’t do it in parts. Shaving around the pimples is one situation where your dermatologist will not be able to give you any concrete help. You need to make and implement your own plan, for the duration of your pimples attack.

A wife can help him to cut the stubborn stubbles between the pimples. The other person is always in a better position to do this. For him, the operation is difficult, and he has to balance the razor with his one hand. The most important aspect of your help is, he will feel great, how much you care about his peculiar difficulty. This simple act will help him further and smoothen your already smooth relationship.

During the attack of acne, when you have lots of pimples and inflammation, it is for you to decide whether you should use Electric or safety razor. With the trial and error method, shave a small patch of your face and judge for yourself which is more comfortable. Help your spouse to soften the beard thoroughly, with the cleaner or pure water, before the actual shaving job. Avoid the nicking blemishes or if you must shave in those spots, shave lightly with utmost care.

If you are like most acne sufferers, you might get obsessed with the whole wash your face regularly and avoid certain foods thing. Although the main cause of your acne is not due to poor hygiene or eating certain foods, in so many instances some factors tend to worsen you acne conditions, leading to more pimples (zits) on your face.

Proper acne skin care helps in reducing the amounts of breakouts on your skin. A number of skin experts and health practitioners are of the opinion that natural acne treatments are the best for reducing the intensity of acne lesions on the skin and tend to recommend the following acne skin care tips.

One factor that could worsen your acne condition is clogged pores, which results in more pimples on your face. Before you go scrubbing your face a million times a day, you should know that you have to be gentle with your face. Wash your face at most thrice a day, and you should use lukewarm water. Avoid soaps that contain chemicals and ingredients that damage your skin. Try using a mild cleanser. Remember to pad your face dry and avoid scrubbing.

I know you can’t help it. But hey!!! Keep your hands by your side, stop touching, squeezing, rubbing or picking your pimples and other lesions. Incase you don’t know, doing that can cause severe acne scarring and more acne flare-ups. So simply put “get your hands off your face”.

If your are a guy, then you should be careful how you shave. Try and find out which razor type is best for your skin. Although I used to use electric razors when I had a lot of pimples on my face, but now I use “twin blades” shaving sticks to shave. Always shave gently to avoid scrapping your acne lesions, which could result in acne scars.

There is a type of acne that is termed “cosmetic acne” which is usually more prevalent in girls. Using certain type of cosmetics can worsen your acne problem or could even be the major cause of your breakouts. Oil-based (comedogenic) cosmetics are the major culprits in worsening your acne condition and you should stay clear of such. Try using water-based (non-comedogenic) cosmetics, which do not clog your pores.

If you are light-skinned (Caucasian), and you regularly sun-bathe, you might feel that a tan would look good on you by giving you a nice complexion and drying out your pimples, but you should try reducing the amount of sun exposure. When you expose your skin to high intensity sunlight, Ultraviolet rays from the sun would dry the outer layers of your skin resulting in it peeling off. Regular exposure to high intensity sunlight makes you prone to having skin cancer.

A very common argument among dermatologist, doctors and health care practitioners is whether diet affects acne or causes acne. Well there is one thing that is certain, a large number of acne sufferers know that there are certain types of foods that increase the amount of pimples (breakouts) on their face. I have noticed that there are some foods that when I take in large quantities I expect breakouts (pimples) in the next 5 to 6 days.

To prevent skin problems such as acne, white and dark spots and pimples, you should consider changing the content of your meals by including more nutritious foods. You can improve your acne condition by eating foods that are rich with antioxidants. These help in keeping you healthy by fighting heart diseases and slowing down cell regeneration. Fruits and leafy vegetables contain enough of these.

Doctors have always recommended that you take at least 10 to 12 glasses of water a day. Your water intake affects your skin’s health. Taking the recommended amount of water a day would make your skin healthier. Try reducing your sugar intake by drinking less sodas, and fruit juices. Instead take fruits; this will definitely prevent age spots and discoloration of your skin.

In addition to the following acne skin care tips that you’ve just read, you should try using an a system, which combats you acne problem from the inside and the outside. An excellent acne skin care product is the clear pores system which consists of a deep cleansing facial and body wash, protection cream and a herbal supplement that is guaranteed to fight acne inside the body.

Another very good product is Revitol’s acnezine system which also consists of a skin anti-Oxidant Capsules and a Moisturizing Crème, all to ensure that your skin is clear of acne. The acnezine system was what made my skin free of pimples. It seems the healthy pores system has so many testimonials to its effectiveness; it is also a wonderful product you can use in ridding your skin of zits.

Most acne sufferers would talk of tales of what acne did to them in terms of their social life and how clearing those little monsters off their skin has made life more enjoyable. If you suffer from adult or teenage acne, it is guaranteed that following these acne skin care tips and using an effective acne skin care product, you would have the smooth and clear skin that you deserve.
