Clear Skin: Do you need expensive treatments?

Clear skin is the dream of every teenager, along with a hot date, a hot car and unlimited cash. Skin care companies know this and sell millions of dollars of products and treatments designed to prevent and treat acne. Many of these cost a lot of money. Do you really need expensive treatments to get clear skin?

The truth is you may if you have a really severe case of acne. However, before you see a dermatologist or buy an expensive acne treatment, try these steps:

1. Watch your diet. While there is some debate as to whether chocolate, chips and other junk food cause acne, they aren’t doing you any favors, either. On the other hand fruits and vegetables are wonderful for your skin, providing many vitamins and other nutrients. Reach for an apple instead of an apple turnover at snack time.

2. Drink plenty of water. We all know that water is great for helping you to lose weight, but remember that water is also great if you want clear skin ñ and for the same reason: it flushes toxins out of your body, including those that can lead to acne.

3. Get plenty of sleep. When you sleep, the body resets itself, producing hormones and other chemicals that help keep us healthy. A good night’s sleep can help you deal with stress, which produces other hormones and chemicals that are not good for your skin.

4. Don’t let anything touch your face. On windy days, it’s easy to have strands of hair whipping your cheeks. But your hair has oils on it that could damage your skin. Likewise, don’t rest your face on your hands either, for the same reason.

5. Be wise in the sun. The sun is a good source of Vitamin D, which is necessary for your good health. It is also good for drying up acne, thus leading to clear skin. However, use a small amount of a sunscreen made for oily skin every time you head out and wash it off when you’re back inside so it doesn’t clog your pores.

6. Choose your makeup wisely. Avoid using it at all, if possible, as anything on your face can clog your pores. If you must use it, wear only types made for oily or sensitive skin. Splash your face with cold water before applying it so as to close your pores and prevent acne. Be careful and remove it promptly.

7. Wash your face twice a day with a cleanser made for acne-prone skin. Use hot water so it will open your pores.

8. Never, ever squeeze a pimple, blackhead or whitehead as this will spread your acne and possibly lead to a skin infection. Apply any acne medication with a cotton ball or swab.

See? Most of these clear skin tips are simple and inexpensive. If these eight clear skin tips don’t work for you, then it is time to see a dermatologist. But chances are you won’t need to. If you take care of your body, it will reward you with clear, beautiful skin.
