I'm sure you all have had problems with your skin, if not then embrace it and be thankful because you have no idea what the rest of us have been through/ are going through!
I have discovered some tips that have helped me clean up my skin and now *hopefully* yours.
There are six things you have to look at when dealing with skin.
Diet
Sleep
Exercise
Routine
Fresh air
Hydration
Diet
By diet I mean what you eat, not some fad diet to help you loose weight.
What are you eating? Take sometime to review your eating regime, what do you need to eat more of and less of? Are you having fruits or veggies with every meal you have. I would recommend 5 fruits 5 veggies - I can promise you this will help with your skin!
Are you eating to many sweets, spicy foods, greasy food. All of these contribute to the look of your skin. Cut back on them I know it will be hard but Think of that beautiful clear skin.
Sleep
Sleep is a must, pretty much every single teenager is lacking in the sleep department. Make sure you have at least 8 hours or more. If you take a long time to get to sleep its probably because your on your phone before bed. 2 hours before you sleep put your phone away, turn on our bed side amp and read - this always helps me have a peaceful nights rest.
If you still can't sleep after this try sleep hypnosis - you can find this on YouTube.
Exercise
A mistake that many people make is that they wear make up when they worn out - this is a no no. Be make up will just clog you pores and make you have more spots!
Routine
Skincare routine is very vital to how your skin looks. Wash you face twice a day with a light cleanser or gave wash, avoid face washes that dry out the skin or have to many chemicals, as this could irritate your skin. Scrub face with a light scrub 3-5 times a week. I made the mistake of thinking the more vigorouse the scrub the clearer my skin would be - I couldn't have been more wrong. Choose a scrub that is for sensitive skin and lightly massage on to the face.
Make-up can seem like the way to go If your skin isn't quite on point, but try to stay away from thick foundations. If it is a must then carry around blotting sheets to blot excess oils to keep skin unclogged.
Moisturiser is a must no matter what skin type. I would recommend a water based moisturiser as it will prevent oily skin and clogging your pores. I love the aveeno moisturiser it's so inexpensive and works wonders!
Fresh air
Air is so important to skin, you make not think so but it is. Try get out the house and go for a walk if jot then open up the window and let in fresh pure air.
Obviously smoking is a no no but as a teenager or young adult it may be a dirty habit. Just ensue that you cut down and try counteract it by getting lots of fresh air and exercise.
Hydration
This is probably the most important, drink up because it will help!
Ideas: lemon water, green tea, water, green smoothies. Try drink 10 glasses a day ( it's not as much as you think it is) this will really detoxify your body meaning the skin will hopefully clear up.
Remember that we are all going to have those off days when we are going to have a lovely collection of spots on out skin. Don't feel insecure, everyone gets them and there not permanent they will go away sooner or later.
Hope these tips helped!
