Do you have a bad skin or even acne? Then you are right with me. I have already suffered very long time with blemishes. In my youth, I had acne and my skin was suffering with no end to over 30. There is a lot of information on the subject on the Internet. But I'm tired of websites with inaccurate or insufficient information or pages just push a particular product as the alleged panacea.

I have decided to create a personal overview of how to rid of impure skin. The following guidance is based on my own experiences.

Step 1: Find a doctor

If you, only, have slightly blemished skin or were already at a dermatologist, you can simply skip this step. For me this is the first step, because it is important to receive a diagnosis of severe acne by a specialist. That does not mean you should now give up natural resources - the opposite! Natural methods to fight against skin impurities are essentially important in my opinion. They support the skin with their healing. They also help prevent the acne comes back after one example, certain prescribed drugs settles.

Conventional drugs such as antibiotics and gels (e.g. BPO) deal only with the skin on the surface. If you have acne, most likely something in your body is working properly. Natural methods can put the impure skin directly to the root.

A conventional treatment and nature to work very well hand in hand.

Step 2: Be gentle to the skin

In 99% of cases, acne is caused by something in the body is not working properly. Acne is not caused by dirt or improper maintenance. The first thing often affected when a pimple is formed, they resort to harsh chemicals lobes. You know what? This usually makes everything worse. If the skin is left alone, it usually makes a good job, they care about it.

Regular gentle peeling is also a great idea. But be careful if you have severe acne, and many inflammatory sites. Here you can exfoliate just the opposite: the bacteria are spread more. It is very important always, be gentle with your skin. Use only scrubs that are meant for sensitive skin. The products should not contain too rough and sharp-edged exfoliating grains. Check items carefully!

Take a week healing clay mask once. Sebum from the pores is removed by the clay, which is beneficial for acne, pimples and blackheads naturally. It also promoted the circulation of the skin, thereby improving the supply of oxygen and nutrients.

Step 3: Treat pimples

If a single pimple particularly annoys us, we should fight him specifically. On the cosmetics market, there are countless products. Each must find his own preference. Many products from pharmacies or drug stores contain benzoyl peroxide (BPO) or salicylic acid. For me, these products were always sharp and dehydration. The good thing about natural remedies is that they usually have no side effects.

Step 4: Raising eat

A particular diet is not the cause of acne, but this may increase.

The diet can affect hormone production, increase blood sugar, or enrich the body of unwanted toxins. This in turn may promote the formation of pimples.

I know that this is certainly the hardest step to change something in the diet. Therefore, it is important to do this step by step. In addition, do not overdo it! Eat a balanced and healthy as possible, but treat yourself every now and again something that you just tastes good.

They should actually not come from a skin problem at an eating problem. Take the 90/10-Regel. Eat healthy and get 90% of 10% for pure enjoyment. If you eat consciously to clarify his skin that does not mean that eating more may not be fun.

Step 5: Relax

In the long period when I was struggling with acne and skin blemishes, I have found: Stress has a negative effect on the skin. Do not overlook the importance of a relaxed and stress-free lifestyle. This step can be just as difficult in many cases, such as the change in diet.

Each of us has come to its own path to peace. Find out what's good for you. Listen to music, read a good book, walking, yoga or just relaxing with a facial mask. If you find in your daily routine no place for relaxation, then you must create space for it.

Instead of sitting in the evening watching television, why not take something completely different that is fun and relaxed. Do it deliberately!

Example, you can turn off the light, candles, should give a few drops of relaxing essential oil in an incense burner and just relax for half an hour.

This does not only good for the skin, but also caresses our soul. Regular relaxation can eventually be self-employed, such as brushing your teeth. Make sure you indulge in every day moments of calm.

CARING FOR LONG HAIR

Caring for long hair takes a lot more time compared to caring for short hair or hair of normal length. Just washing and drying long hair can be quite a task in itself. Below are some tips on managing long hair.

Long Hair Care Tips
1)Avoid sleeping with tightly braided hair or hair in a tight ponytail. The stress can cause breakage and/or hair loss.

2)When your hair is braided, make sure that it is not too tight or it could cause breakage and/or hair loss.

3)If your hair is braided or you have a ponytail, use a specially treated band or scrunchie which will prevent breakage of your hair. Limit your use of clips, bows, and untreated bands.

4)Even if you plan on growing your hair out further, you should trim your hair once every 3 months, if not split ends will cause your hair to break off and your hair will begin to lose it's beauty. If you plan on just maintaining your length, a trim once every month and a half to two months should suffice.

5)Don't use a brush to detangle your hair, this will stretch your hair and may cause your hair to break off. Instead use your fingers, a pick, or a wide tooth comb to detangle your hair.

6)When detangling your hair work your way from the tips of your hair up to the hair roots. Work on detangling one section of your hair at a time and go in a downward direction.

7)Be gentle when detangling; pulling down on your hair too hard will cause breakage.

8)If you detangle your hair before washing it, it'll be easier to dry and style as well as decrease the knots and tangles after you are done washing your hair.

9)Don't rub your hair dry with a towell, instead blot the water out of your hair, when you rub, it'll cause your hair to tangle.

10)Hair can get caught on cotton pillow cases and break when you are sleeping especially if you toss and turn a lot when you sleep. Using a satin or silk pillowcase where your hair will make it so that hair will slide across the pillowcase without getting caught. Another tactic to prevent breakage is to put your hair up in a ponytail on the top of your head with a scrunchie or specially treated band (that prevents breakage).

11)An alternative to the silk pillowcase is to wear a satin or silk scarf over your hair before your sleep to prevent breakage.

12)Brushing your hair is important because it spreads the the hair oils out across the length of your hair. Use long strokes starting from the roots of your hair when brushing and stroke your hand over your hair after you are done brushing to get rid of static.

TIP OF THE DAY: FEB. 01

Choose Chocolate

Chocolate coloured make up on dark skins looks good enough to eat! Use soft chocolate shades and smudge them on your eyes, instead of defining lines. Use a sheer foundation that will reflect your skin making it look fresh and youthful, while complimenting the chocolate colours.
