Skin Care Tips

For starters I have acne and it isn't very bad at all but it bothers me so much.  I have read many many things about healing it, prevention, and dealing with it.  From trial, error, and the amazing Skin Therapy Studio I go to.  The lady that works on my face has taught my mom and I so much.  This is where I would love to tell you some tips I learned.    

Have you ever had a pimple, blemish, that is inflamed and red? The best cure is to ice it for two minutes.  You ice swelling, injuries, and soreness right?  I've tried this and it really does work.  Or if you even have a pimple close to the surface you can feel, ice it often and you can even prevent it.  Or.. if its too late and it has erupted from your skin, make it heal a lot faster.  So twice a day ice inflammation and make your skin heal from acne faster.  Try it.  Ice is cheap, you can make it, takes 2 minutes twice a day, and what have you got to loose? Really?!
Also to help acne heal don't pick your face!  I know its really hard. Sometimes I still do but its really worth it! The more you pick the longer it takes acne to clear, it spreads bacteria, and can cause scarring.. plus it makes you feel worse about your skin.
Lastly, you really are what you eat.. so to have clear skin is to eat a healthy diet.  Life isn't all about sugar, fat, and salt, the modern world is circling us around these 3 food types.  So eat healthier, drink more water (6-8 glasses daily), and exercise.  Most acne is hereditary, but that doesn't mean you cannot help it go away sooner!  Lastly take additional vitamins to stay healthy and give you what you need.        
I'm not a skin care specialist but these tips have really helped.  Thanks for checking this out!
