9 Steps To Cleaner and Healthier Skin |
|
|
For cleaner, healthier and easier to manage skin just follow
this list of nine items:
1) Lower your stress level through prayer and meditation. Stress
creates hormones that actually age us as they destroy cells and
create toxic biproducts and free radicals. Studies have shown
that prayer and meditation can reduce our stress levels. Prayer
and meditation have been proven to even alleviate some of the
symptoms of cancer and other life threatening diseases.
2) Drink plenty of water. It is a fact that 90% of us do not
drink enough water. For your skin cells to function properly and
heal properly from cuts, etc... we need to drink 8-12 glasses of
water every day. Our skin is one of our most important organs as
it protects us from disease, cushions our falls, etc... It needs
plenty of water.
3) Get proper sleep. Not getting the proper 8-10 hours of sleep
per day will first show in your skin. Broken capillaries,
puffiness, circles under the eyes.
4) Eat well. Get proper nutrition. Too many junk foods can cause

skin problems like pimples and acne. A well balanced
meal 3 times per day has been proven to help alleviate spikes in
skin problems and help to average out the outbreaks in acne
vulgaris.
5) Take vitamins to supplement your skin and body. We can't
always make sure we get 100% of each vitamin and mineral with
the foods we eat, but we can take a multivitamin once a day.
They are cheap at Walmart and there is no excuse. People that
take multivitamins once a day live longer. Its a proven fact
just like persons that smoke take years off their lives.
6) Properly clean your skin. Harsh soaps can dry out your skin
and even stimulate further sebum (oil) production which can
worsen acne. Use a mild cleanser with 2% salicylic acid. This
has been proven very effective in ridding excess oils while
maintaining proper hydration and pH. The slight acidity will
keep bacteria at bay.
7) Don't smoke. Smoking puts years on you. Literally, smoking
can add 10 years to the aged look of your skin. Why would you
want to do that? If you must have |

The teenage years are when acne usually starts. The body starts producing more sebum, and in turn this sebum or oil clog up the hair follicles in the skin and cause acne. The sebum is excreted from the sebaceous glands to the skin surface.
I foolishly picked up a plastic honey bear that was in a pot of boiling water, and the honey squirted out all over the palm of my hand. Immediately, I ran it under cold water, and then I ran to get your book because I knew there was something I could put on burns that was natural: MUSTARD.
Global warming, decreasing ozone layer, exposure to multiple chemicals and cosmetics, faulty lifestyles and wrong eating habits, invasive fashions and the changing human behavioural patterns has lead to multiple skin problems from minor to those of major life threatening ones.

nicotine then get nicotine gum
or the patch - they will cure your cravings and there is no
evidence or statistics of anyone developing cancer, lung
disease, etc... from these.
8) Wear sunscreen. The skin does have keratonin to protect
against the suns rays, but it is no match for UV rays, etc...
that we expose ourselves to. Melanoma has several forms and all
are deadly. If you don't think you will get skin cancer or think
you are invulnerable, just go to your local dermatologist and
ask to see pictures of clients with skin cancer, better yet go
to the oncology center at your local hospital. You won't think
that way ever again. Wear sunscreen.
9) Treat yourself to a spa treatment atleast once a year. Skin
peels, TCA peels, deep tissue massage, complete relaxation,
aromatherapy, etc... will all energize and heal your skin. TCA
peels will actual improve your skins ability to regenerate
itself and improve collagen levels.
Remember, follow these nine steps to enjoy healthier skin.
