✿ tips to having a better and clear skin ✿

As a teenager, I think a problem we all deal with is having acnes and blemishes on our skin.

Although I still do deal with this problem, it's gotten a lot better compared to a couple years back.

So today, I'm here with a couple tips for fighting off acnes, having healthier skin, and having smaller pores! Some of them are my advices to you, some are based off things I've read that was helpful.

✿ Tip 1 ✿ 

Wash Your Face

Washing your face is super important.
Wash not too often to dry your face off, but enough to keep your face from getting oily. I know it's very hard to fight the urge to put it off to tomorrow morning and such if you're tired or stressed or lazy. But there's possibilities of breaking out overnight, so try to not procrastinate on this. When you wear makeup, make sure you have it COMPLETELY off. Wash your face a couple of times with a soap (I recommend all natural soap!) and a cleanser. Washing your face in a right way is also important. When you wash your face, don't rub your face hard. Draw circles around your face. Also, wash your face with lukewarm water. And for cleanser, I would recommend to avoid using cleansing oil if you have a lot of acne.

My routine is: Makeup Remover Sheet -> Cleanser -> All Natural Soap -> Toner -> Lotion.


✿ Tip 2 ✿ 
Dirty Hands Off Your Face

What a lot of people with acne have in common is a habit of constantly touching face. I also have that habit. Nowadays, I try really hard not to. When you want to pop a pimple, don't do it with your hands especially if they're not clean. If you absolutely can't break this habit, then at least wash your hands often. This is a basic tip that I'm sure everyone's been told, but it's super hard to resist not to.


✿ Tip 3 ✿ 
Protect Your Skin From Sun

Sunscreen and sun creams are a must, no matter what the weather and time of the year. You should always put on sunscreen or sun cream. Even if it's cloudy and it looks like there's not much sun, UV rays are always there. The more UV rays your skin is exposed to, the darker your acne or acne scars will become and plus, it makes your skin age faster.


✿ Tip 4 ✿ 
Don't Pop Everything

When you're popping a pimple, there's couple things you need to make sure you do. You should use a Q tip that's been sanitized. What I do is put hydrogen peroxide on the q tip, pop the pimple, then gently rub it with another q tip with hydrogen peroxide on it. Also, you should only pop pimples that have yellow pus on the end. Don't touch or pop it if it doesn't, you're most likely to make it worse.


✿ Tip 5 ✿ 
Drink Lots of Water

Water is very helpful. Of course, it's not going to magically make your acne disappear,
but it's a lot of help if you want your acne scar away. I suggest drinking about 8 full cups of water everyday. It's healthy for your skin and body. Make a habit of drinking lots of water and it will help you!
Less soda, more water.


✿ Tip 6 ✿ 
Green Tea For Your Skin

Green tea teabags are effective when it comes to calming redness and blemishes. First, make a tea with the green tea teabag. Drink the tea. When you're done, squeeze about 70% of the water on the tea bag. Then put in refrigerator until it's cool. Take it out and put it on your cheeks (or anywhere else you want. it's only an example, since that's where I put mine.) Leave it on and flip it to the other side if it gets warm. 20~30 minutes seems like enough time to leave it on. It won't take effect if you only do it once or twice. It does help in calming redness on your face.





I hope these helped~ I came by a little earlier than I planned for you all!
I am assuming I probably won't be here for another week because of studying for finals,
so I didn't want to let you guys down on the promise that I'll be back in 2014!
(Although I haven't said when in 2014, lmao.)
When I'm back from the finals, I'll be back with a couple makeup tutorials so stick with me♡
