Acne Treatment
A few healthy habits and little bit of care will go a long way toward preserving your healthy, radiant complexion.
You have enough issues, challenges, and drama right now; why add acne to your stressors? Every adolescent breaks-out from time to time.

Stress does it; hormone fluctuations do it; lack of proper sleep and a steady diet of junk food contribute to it. And sometimes it’s just bad luck.

Of course, you will get a big pimple just before your big date with your dream lover.

1. Minimize Coffee Intake
Give your favorite barista a break. You love coffee because it sends your system into overdrive. You probably realize coffee’s risks to your heart, but you may overlook the other risks associated with your love of latte.

Stimulants promote your skin’s production of excess oil, and they throw your endocrine system out of equilibrium. In other words, that grande mocha you just enjoyed put two out of three acne causes into your system. Stay too long in the coffee house, and the inside air will add bacteria to give you the complete set.

2. Eat Healthy Foods
 No matter how desperately you want to believe the hamburger is Nature’s perfect food, you must turn the page. Rediscover the green group; explore the fruit group. Give low fat yogurt a try-out. Two out of three American adolescents are over-weight; and obesity takes its toll everywhere in your body. Therefore, everything you do to control your weight contributes to your skin's health and vitality.

Just as important as adding a lot more fruits and vegetables to your plate, you should choose fresh foods in preference to packaged and processed items. Nutritionists believe the additives in processed food make you more susceptible to acne.

3. Follow a Daily Skin Care Regimen
Thoroughly cleanse your face first thing each morning and just before you go to bed at night. A proper “beauty” regimen and a healthy anti-acne program are almost identical, and the three-step process takes very little time.

Carefully, completely wash your face with an anti-bacterial soap. All-natural soaps with essential plants oils both cleanse and heal. Try pure glycerin soaps enriched with lavender, chamomile, and oatmeal for maximum cleansing, soothing, and nourishing.
Then, use a relatively gentle skin toner to get the microscopic stuff your soap might have missed. Apply toner with a cotton ball, taking advantage of the cotton’s gentle abrasive to free trapped dirt and dead skin. Complete your routine with a healthy, lightweight moisturizer to nourish emerging skin and protect it from sun, wind, and pollution. Of course, when you go outside, use sunscreen.

Minimize your make-up, and use all natural powders in preference to heavy oil-based foundations.

4. Do not Smoke
Among the millions of serious and compelling reasons for not smoking, count your concern for your skin. Toxins from cigarette smoke accumulate in your hair and skin, making skin cells more prone to blockage and infection. If you do not smoke now, don’t start. If you do smoke, make withdrawal from nicotine one of your top priorities. If you cannot quit for health reasons, then quit for the sake of your vanity.
