Prevention Intervention



Check these out, too...

  • Your easiest morning skincare routine--found!
  • Your 5-minute nighttime skincare routine
  • Ew, I have little bumps on my arms!
  • The $1 tinted moisturizer we can't live without
  • Fast fixes: 3 products that'll fix your blemish overnight
Whether it’s right before your period or after a long day in the sun, it’s easy to break out and once you do, you probably want to nix it fast. That’s what a lot of products help us do these days: zap it out, remove it with a tape, cover it up, etc.
 
But why not just prevent it? It might sound easier said than done, but there are a few easy tips that anyone can follow for better skin…without regretting it later!
 
It’s all about the nighttime care
So you see commercials and there’s always a girl in a bright room (prob in the morning) washing her face and getting bright skin. That’s definitely important, but what really matters is washing your face at night. That’s right, ladies! Before you go to bed, your pores are bound to be clogged up with dust, oil, etc. Whatever it is, you want to make sure your face is clean before you head to bed because a) your skin rejuvenates the best when you sleep and b) because you don’t want to rub all that ickiness on your pillow!
 

Not just fluffy pillows, but CLEAN pillows

Now, you’re probably wondering, “what’s up with this whole pillow thing?” Well, if you think about it, there is nothing more than a pillow that your face touches for a long period of time. And if that’s the case, you’re def gonna want it clean. So, try changing-slash-washing your pillow cases at least once every two weeks.
 

To get some sun or to block it?

That really is the question, isn’t it? It’s known that most females lack in vitamin D, and so it’s important to go out and get some sunlight. But it’s also known that too much sun can easily irritate your skin…or even nurture unwanted bumps on the face (not to mention skin cancer). So what’s the solution? Sun block lotion of course! Hit the nearest pharmacy and get some sunscreen on your face. You should be using about a quarter-sized amount everyday to protect your skin while getting the right glow from the sun. Neutrogena and Aveeno make ‘screens low in oil.

 

Not too wet, not to dry, just right!

One of the most important skin tips is (drum roll please)…MOISTURIZER. Morning and night plus one more tap of moisturizer during the day can do wonders for your skin. It makes sure that your pores aren’t too tight, (which by the way could irritate your skin), or too dry, which can look weirdly flakey. It’ll give you the perfect softness, just like a baby’s face!
 

Now, if you think your skin is just way, and I mean completely, totally, way out of control, don’t hesitate to see a dermy. But if you jut need a bit of a skin improvement, follow these few hints and you’ll have great skin in no time! Good luck!

MOD MOD!!! My acne has practically gone away, but there are still scars. They are red and purple. How do I get rid of them??




Hey girlie! Here are two natural ways to get rid of those scars. First is Aloe Vera - just putting a little aloe vera on the scars for a week to see some healing. The second is Wrapped Ice Cubes - you can do this after putting on the aloe vera. Just wrap a bunch of ice cubes in a towel and apply them to the scarred area. Do this for 10 - 15 minutes each day and you'll see results in 3-4 weeks!

Any quick fixes for some major acne redness??? My makeup seems to not cover it good, and I use face wash and cleaners morning and night.

MOD!, so I have had acne for a couple years now and for some reason it hasn't gotten any better. I have tried just about every different kind of cleanser. I went to the doctors recently and they perscribed me benzoyl peroxide and tretiooin, it doesnt seem to work though it just makes my skin red and really dry and peeling.Now i have severly dry skin which i never used to have before.I'm confused and lost. What should i use???




Hey girlie, try a dermatologist. The regular doctor is great, but a dermatologist knows exactly how to fix your acne.
