When fighting blemishes it is essential that you use the right
cleansers for your skin. Regardless of whether you have teenage acne or
adult acne a gentle cleanse should always be a necessary part of your
daily routine.
Every individual has different skin needs. But what doesn’t
differ is that everyone’s skin needs to be cleaned to remove excess dirt
brought about by the outside environment. Gentle cleansing is the first
place to start.
Use a water-soluble cleanser:
Water-soluble cleansers are great because they gently cleanse your skin
without stimulating the oil glands. A gentle cleanse does not cause
redness or dryness. It also makes the skin feel soft and releases oil and
dirt gently without damaging the skin.
Once you leave those dry, irritating pore-clogging bar cleansers and
soaps behind, you will notice a distinct difference in the way your skin
looks and feels. But you must remember to ONLY stick to water-soluble
cleansers which are free of exfoliating agents, oil absorbing
ingredients and topical disinfectants. These harsh ingredients do very
little for the skin because these active ingredients are quickly washed
away – not providing any benefit on the skin at all. These ingredients are
best used in the other stages of the cleansing process – like
moisturizers, exfoliators or for disinfecting the skin.
But it is important to not only cater to the outside of your body
but also you must cater to your body from the inside-out. Make sure
you are eating anti-oxidant rich, non-inflammatory foods like hazelnuts,
salmon, celery, cucumbers, apples, yogurt and pomegranates.
Many people do not realize this, but there are many natural foods that
can actually lead to skin inflammation. We are always told to eat fruits
and vegetables because they’re better for us than processed foods.
However, some of these fruits and vegetables can actually be detrimental
to our skin.
Did you know that inflammation actually plays a role in the
development of swelling and disease? It also plays a role in acne and
aging.
In youthful-disease free skin, when looking at the skin under a
microscope, no inflammation is visible. However it is present in older
skin. This is also the same for acne-prone skin.
Basically, the foods we eat are just as important as the foods we
should avoid - like flour, bread, bananas, cream cheese, granola and
honey. You thought these were good you’re your skin? Nope, think again!
These foods are inflammation inducing foods which can actually leave our
skin looking tired, puffy and prone to break-outs.
The list goes on (with natural foods that are bad for the skin), but if

are the secrets the pharmaceutical and drug companies won’t tell you
about.
