These days there are countless tips, techniques and miracle acne cures floating around in cyber space. Let me help you sort through the muck! In this article, I've highlighted the 25 most important natural skin care tips that will truly change your skin for the better and give you the complexion you've always desired.
- Find out what food sensitivities you have. This is best done by using the Elisa testing technique. Once you find out the culprits avoid those foods at all costs and watch your skin almost instantly improve.
- Stay away from dairy. The consumption of dairy is often the cause of many negative skin conditions.
- Avoid red meat. All types of red meat will slow digestions making it hard for your body to expel toxins. This will undoubtedly result in poor skin.
- Don't Smoke. Not only is smoking bad for your overall health, but it will also turn your skin yellow and cause breakouts.
- Avoid alcohol. The liver has the important job of removing toxins from our system. Alcohol prevents the liver from fully performing its job.
- Incorporate all natural Aloe Vera gel (I'm talking straight from the plant) into your skin care regimen. Aloe Vera is one of the very best all natural skin care nutrients on the planet! Use it, and see the incredible results.
- Don't touch your face throughout the day. If you practice natural organic skin care techniques and do everything else right, but still touch your face throughout the day, your acne may still be prevalent.
- Get plenty of vitamin A into your diet naturally. Although supplementation does have its place, acquiring vitamins organically will offer the best skin care improvements. Here's a tip: Eat a ton of carrots!
- Keep your hair away from your face. When hair that retains oil is constantly touching your face it could cause breakouts.
- Get at least 8 hours of sleep each night. The body uses the time that you are sleeping to expel acne causing toxins.
- Wash your pillow case daily. Each night as you sleep, oil from your hair and face will transfer onto your pillow case. This case can be the perfect breading ground for acne causing bacteria.
- Wash your face no more then 2 times a day. A huge mistake that many people who suffer from acne make is washing their face too often. If you strip away all the oils from your skin, more acne causing sebum will be produced in the long run. Remember, you can't wash away acne!
- Use a sunscreen (SPF 15 or greater) whether it's rainy, cloudy, winter or summer! No matter what, protect your skin from damaging UV rays. They're always there, no matter what time of year or what type of weather.
- Limit stress. Stress increases the production of hormones which cause acne. Also, the more stress you experience, the harder it is for your body to heal.
- Get your digestion under control by performing a colon cleanse biannually. Proper digestion is essential for clear and beautiful skin.
- Eat plenty of raw fruits and vegetables. This is a great way to get a large variety of skin healing nutrients into your diet naturally.
- Know your skin type and act accordingly. Different products, moisturizers and natural skin care recipes should be used depending on your skin type.
- Don't consume any hydrogenated fats or oils (this means absolutely no margarine!). Your skin will never clear up without ridding your diet of harmful substances like hydrogenated fats or oils.
- Beware of fragrances that make you break out. Believe it or not, some perfumes and fragrances can actually cause breakouts.
- Get plenty of exercise. Physical exercise is extremely important for clearing acne as it reduces stress significantly.
- Stay hydrated by drinking at least 64 ounces of water each day. Water is a key component in removing toxins from the body.
- Use a mild abrasive soap once a day to remove dead skin cells. Dead skin cells can clog pores and cause breakouts if they are not removed.
- Take a high quality multivitamin. Getting all the skin care vitamins into your diet each and every day is difficult to do naturally. Taking a high quality multivitamin will ensure that no nutrient has been left out.
- Use natural organic skin care makeup. Many prominent makeup brands use a formula that will clog pores and cause acne. Be sure to use all natural makeup or better yet... no makeup at all.
- Use all natural homemade soap. Store bought skin care products can incorporate damaging synthetics that will often make your skin condition worse. The only way to know for sure that what you are putting on your skin is 100% all natural and chemical free is to make the skin care products yourself.
Now it's time that you put these natural skin care tips into practice. I just know that you will love the results!
