Something almost every teenager out there deals with is acne! Especially with all the stress from school and many other things that come into play, our skin can often not look its best. Here are 8 of my best tips I can give to maintain a clear complexion and look and feel your absolute best all the time!
Avoid the Shampoo! ...Kind of... When you take a shower and you wash your hair, do not let the shampoo touch your face. The chemicals in it can irritate your skin and cause you to break out.
Not Too Hot! Another tip for in the shower: don't take showers that are too hot! I know it feels good and it feels cleaner, but it also irritates your skin and can cause you to break out.
Drink Lots of Water. I know everyone says it, but it's so true! It keeps your skin hydrated and prevents your skin from becoming extra-oily.
Wash Your Pillow frequently. Think about it, your face has different germs on it every night when you go to sleep, no matter what. You don't have to wash your pillow every single night, but once a week should do fine.
Keep Your Hands to Yourself, and away from your face. Whether you realize it or not, you touch tons of things every day, which means germs. You don't want to transfer those germs to your face because it causes you to break out, so do not ever touch your face unless you are washing it!
Don't Tan. Don't go to a tanning bed, and do not go lay out for hours in the sun. Not only can excessive exposure cause acne, but it can also cause you to age quicker! Use a sunscreen on your face every day (as a moisturizer) and you should be fine!
A Little Goes A Long Way... All you need is to apply an astringent at night, go to sleep, when you wake up wash it off with a cleanser, and then apply moisturizer... Don't go overboard with all the products because it can definitely provoke a break out! Also, you should exfoliate your skin once a week to get rid of dead skin cells!
The last tip I can give is something quite obvious, but especially as teens we don't really care about it...
Sleep! Sleep gives your skin cells a chance to rest and reset as well as gets rid of extra stress that can also cause break outs. You should get at least 8 hours of sleep every night!
I really hope my tips help! Thank you so much for reading...
