Tired of trying different products and still get those unsightly bumps after an all-nighter? Most teens succumb to a blue mood whenever they break-out.
Acne, pimples, and zits, whatever you may call them, are very troubling and can make one less self-confident.
But fret not because there are many ways to be beautiful and acne-free.
Scientists and skin experts are discovering new ways in fighting this skin problem that everybody gets the chance to face.
Believing that you can be more beautiful is a good start, but knowing the basics to a beautiful and acne-free skin can make all your perfect skin dreams come true.
Beauty from Within: Most people tend to forget that what we eat can show in our skin.
Some people may have the genetic advantage of eating whatever they like and still not go fat - same goes with acne, some people can eat whatever they like and not get any.
So for those of use who don't have the right genes for perfect skin, taking particular care of what we eat can spell the difference between perfect and problematic skin.
Scientists have studied the connection of eating food with high Omega 6 content to breaking out.
Most studies have indicated that Omega 6 can lead to pimples.
Junk food and even vegetable oil is very rich in Omega 6, so no matter how many products you try and regimen you practice, they won't make a difference if you don't watch what you eat.
If eating certain types of food can cause pimples to break-out, there are those than can help you clear up your skin.
It may sound too good to be true, but experts agree that eating whole-foods and vitamin-rich vegetables can actually help your body clear our pimples.
Vitamin A for example, which can be found in most vegetables, can actually help your pores clean themselves.
Vitamin A plays an important role in sebum production that's why supplements are recommended for people who suffer from minor skin problems -including acne! Ask your dermatologist if they can help you find a Vitamin A supplement like Retinol-based treatments (which are often topical instead of oral).
Eating the right things can truly help your skin rejuvenate itself from the inside out.
A tip on doing this change now is to list what you regularly eat, remove those that have lot of oils in them, and increase your vegetable and fruit intake.
Experts swear that doing the switch ASAP can improve your skin condition in just a matter of weeks.
Hygiene and Finding the Right Cleanser Washing whenever it gets oily and taking a bath regularly can greatly improve our skin condition.
One can achieve acne free-skin in no time just by improving his/her overall hygiene.
For example most dermatologists recommend that patients who suffer from severe acne should wash their faces at least 3x a day with an oil-free, non-drying, hypoallergenic facial cleanser.
I cannot put more emphasis on finding the right cleanser for your skin.
A lot of people think than all cleansers are basically the same, but the truth is there are a lot of products in the market for different skin types.
The three things one should always remember is 1.
Find a cleanser that is oil-free because oil can cause more problems than they solve, 2.
Be sure it's hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, which means it's not likely to clog your pores and cause irritation, and finally 3.
Find a cleanser that's gentle enough to be used as often as needed.
Most people think that fighting pimples mean drying them up but the truth is dry and dead surface skin can actually clog your pores and ultimately lead to more pimples.
Not only does finding the right cleanser for your skin and improving your hygiene help you clear your acne problems, they can also help you avoid premature ageing by lessening the stress you put on your skin when it repairs itself.
Remember that cleaning doesn't necessarily mean drying-out your skin.
Sleep, Sleep, and More Sleep Acne is troublesome, especially severe acne which is commonly caused by hormonal imbalances.
Skin experts have always believed that stress can worsen this imbalance and lead to more acne break-outs.
Sleeping is our body's way of relaxing and repairing itself, and that includes skin repair.
Sleeping at least 8 hours a day can greatly improve our skin condition and make us more beautiful.
Sleep also gives us refuge from stress, both emotional and physical, and having enough gives your skin the chance to renew and repair itself.
Not only does sleeping help us clear acne, but studies have shown that people who have regular sleep patterns (meaning they get 8 hours of sleep, go to bed and wake up at the same time everyday) age less and have healthier levels of collagen in their skin.
Sleep can truly make us acne-free, wrinkle-free, and generally more beautiful, so be sure to get enough everyday.
