Healthy Habits for Clear Skin

Hello Beauties!

I hope the weather change has been good to you. And hopefully no pimples.. we do not even want to think about those little monsters. Still, whenever I am back from traveling or its a season change I get one or two here and there. There is always a different cause for all of us. It could be hormonal, pollution in environment, our diet, lifestyle. And it also a way of body to flush out toxins.


So, here are some of the easy to follow ways which have always worked from me, ever since I was a teen and I had it much more than just a pimple. Now that must have been hormonal huh!I have developed these ways into habits and woo! I have a skin that I am happy with.



So, here are some ways that have always worked for me.

• Washing face with plain water as often. Especially when you return from outdoors. Do not use any sort of soap and simply plain water. . As, it can form a film over skin and any dirt would be trapped inside skin pores.

As a teen I had lot of pimples and this one step was a savior.

• Drinking water.

The first thing after waking up should be drinking plain water. Add few drops of lemon juice in a glass of warm water and have it to aid in the body cleanse. Start slowly and make it up for atleast 1 litre of water. And have breakfast after an hour of having water.

Keep yourself hydrated. Not only does it help flushing toxins out of the body working as a cleanse, it is also helpful in overall health.

• Please do not touch your face that often with fingertips. Instead use a fresh piece of cloth, towel, tissue, or even back of your palm if you do not have any other thing at your disposal. But using Nails or Fingertips is a complete No! No! Finger tips have so many bacterias and we are only promoting pimple growth. If you have to make sure you have washed your hands.

I always see people with pimples scratching them. It will irritate it further.

• Skin Care - Using Natural Antibiotic Products

I like using Neem soaps or Neem packs or Ointments. Its naturally antibiotic. You can get these at any Asian stores. Apart from that Tea Tree Oil has also similar properties and is even antifungal. I use it because I have dry skin.Try using ointments with such anti properties. The one I recently bought is Hollywood Beauty Tea Tree Oil.

All these help sooth current skin condition like itchy skin, acne and prevents further growth.
I prefer ones which are natural, herbal and gentle especially for my face.

These can be even more beneficial when used after exfoliating skin with any good scrub. The one that I have been using recently is St Ives's Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub. You can even make your own natural scrubs. I have not yet tried those and hopefully will soon.

• Lifestyle - Sweat it Out!

I feel exercising helps flushing toxins out of the body in form of sweat.So, these toxins are not available to come out as pimples.

Also, having lots of veggies and fruits definitely serves as a detox and helps maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Detoxification - We know it and can do it!

Making lifestyle changes like diet and exercise is essential but it takes time. And no one can be hundred percent perfect with a healthy lifestyle. So, meanwhile adopting steps 1 - 4 as a habit has always been helpful to me in getting and maintaining clear skin.

These are my experiences which have helped me and are not medical advices. Before following any procedures, I would recommend consulting your doctor / dermatologist if you feel a need such as pre-existing skin or any other medical condition.
