Skin Care Tips From an Unblemished Face - Acne Treatment
I have always had decent skin, that is to say, I do not often have breakouts or blemishes on my face. I get the occasional pimple or redness but most of the time I have clear skin. I think it has to do with genetics but I also attribute it to a good skin care regime and a healthy diet.
Over the years I have mixed up my skin care regime. When I was a teenager I used any drugstore foaming face soap like Neutrogena. Then I would use a matching toner and for moisturizer I used Oil of Olay because it just seemed like a classic and I figured I couldn’t go wrong. That seemed to work.
For blemishes I’d use a spot treatment also found in the drugstore. When I got to college I wanted to be a bit more sophisticated so I used the Clinique 3 Step system. That worked too and to this day I still use the yellow moisturizing lotion. I adore it. But into my late twenties I started to get pesky pimples around certain times of the month which would linger for weeks. I got fed up with the pimples that seemed to hang around forever and decided to try the Dead Sea Acne Treatment . To my surprise, several years later, it is still working for me.
I do still get the occasional pimple but it goes away in a few days. I religiously use the treatment in the morning and at night. The Acne Drying Lotion I use overnight as a spot treatment. Again, they disappear in a few days unlike before where they would hang around. Throughout the history of my skin regime, I never went to sleep with make-up on, and still don’t to this day. I’ve heard it is terrible for skin. Any sunscreen I put on my face I make sure it is hypo allergenic for sensitive skin.
I don’t suntan, that is to say, I don’t bake in the sun and if I am exposed for long periods, I reapply the sunscreen especially on my face. Along with these practices, I also follow a vegetarian diet. I don’t eat meat of any kind and I also don’t eat that much sugar. It may be a myth that sweets cause break-outs but I might be living proof that a clean diet results in a clean face. In addition to these ideas about face care.
I also would like to add that I sometimes get patchy skin on my arms and feet which I attribute to genetics simply because both of my parents have the same complaint. I combat this issue with a topical hydrocortisone crème on the area as well as do a full body application of body lotion once daily after bathing. It seems to help but in the summer it seems my feet get the worst of it. I have found that leather shoes exacerbate the problem. If I wear rubber or canvas flip flops it helps.
