How to Prevent acne in 10 steps!!

1. WASH YOUR FACE TWICE A DAY - This is very important because even at night when your sleeping tons of bacteria can easily form and your face deserves to be treated just like your body in the shower. Although washing your face is extremely healthy, Never wash your face more than twice a day because your face needs its natural oils.

2. YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT- This is 100% true, Acne is your body trying to tell you there is something wrong going on. Most people think that acne only forms on the surface but its 50/50. Most acne is hormone caused. Eating a healthy diet with lots of greens will help. In the picture you will see Cocoa, it is chocolate without all the sugars added. Other foods great for the skin are spinach, almonds, green tea, and soy such as tofu! my personal favorite!

3.DOES DRINKING WATER CLEAR ACNE - Drinking water does not clear acne but it helps speed the process so much. Water is important because it flushes away all of the unneeded toxins in your body. Also if you drink a lot of water you will start to notice your skin feeling less rough and more on the smooth side. If Water bores you, I would suggest adding a cucumber a lemon, or honey to add flavor to it. They suggest 8 glasses of water per day for good health.

4. WASHING YOUR PILLOWS - Although you cannot tell but pillow cases can actually get very filthy over night. Washing your pillow cases at least once a week will help reduce your acne.


5. AVOIDING TOUCHING YOUR FACE - Avoiding touching your face will help so much because there are so many unnatural oils on your hands. If you have an itch always make sure you wash your hands. This will make a huge difference how your face reacts everyday.

6.RELAX - Believe it or not stress can actually cause acne. Anytime you feel stressed, relax, lay down and read a book or watch your favorite movie. Practice Yoga, exercise or go for a massage. This will change not only the way your face looks but how your whole body feels.


7. CHOOSING MAKEUP - Always make sure a product is oil free and non cosmogenic. I prefer minerals versus liquid but if you enjoy liquid products i would recommend: Prescriptives oil free foundation or clinique oil free foundation. For mineral Makeup i would recommend Laura Mercier or everyday minerals.

8. CHOOSING THE RIGHT SKIN CARE - Choosing the right skin care line can be difficult, especially because everyone has different kind of skin. I mix my products i will never order all of the same line.I am currently using:
Purity made simple by Philosophy - I love this cleanser, it makes my skin smooth and reduces my acne and always takes off all my makeup
Mario Badescu- Buttermilk moisturizer
Patricia Wexler- Acne serum
Murad- Acne Vitamins

9. VITAMINS - Vitamins are a great add on if you have acne and do not believe in the use of over counter drugs. Vitamins are important because they balance your hormones and controls what is causing your acne inside your body. You will see a difference.

10. BE PATIENT - When using a product line, make sure you give it a chance for at least a month before giving it the boot.
