Question

Hey there can anybody tell me how to get realy clear skin?I eat very healthy and exercise regulary but I cant seem to get clear skin..what am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Eat healthier

By avoiding foods that often make your face breakout, your skin will be less oily and more resistant to blemishes. Some problem foods that may cause pimples or breakouts include chocolate and other candy, French fries, fast food, pizza and soft drinks.

To get your skin in better shape, you may not have to give up everything that has negative effects on your skin, but rather, eat those things in moderation. Have greasier foods as a special treat or on rare occasion when eating a healthy, balanced meal is out of the question.

Hydrate and exercise

Drinking the recommended eight glasses of water per day coupled with some regular exercise - walking, running, bicycling, engaging in sports - should have a great impact on one’s complexion. Increased blood flow due to aerobic exercise will positively impact one’s complexion with a glowing look to replace dull skin.

Not only will exercise and drinking water help skin tone and texture, but it will also make you feel more energized and great about yourself. By keeping your body in shape, you will feel less stressed and more capable of achieving those things you set out to do.

Monitor sun exposure

By using a moderate strength sunscreen, you will be protecting your skin from sun damage, skin cancer, aging and premature wrinkles. Too much sun can blister one’s lips, leaving them red, sore and charred. Sunburned skin will eventually peel most times, leaving skin areas blotchy and sensitive. The best approach to preventing sunburn and other sun-caused skin problems is to monitor how much time one spends in the sun and to avoid sun exposure by using sunscreen with SPF 15 or greater.

Practice a regular cleansing routine

Cleanse, exfoliate, tone and moisturize…this daily routine should carry you on your way toward healthier skin. Select a gentle skin cleansing solution that works for your specific type of skin - dry, oily, normal. Using your selected product, cleanse face in a circular motion and rinse with lukewarm water, as hot water zaps skin’s moisture.

Follow the cleansing stage with an exfoliant. A granular product is often especially effective in smoothing rough areas and releasing dead skin cells, allowing the face to be better moisturized.

After the exfoliation process concludes, use a toner or an astringent to tighten skin and remove any makeup or cleanser residue. A nice alternative to a toner or astringent would be doing a facial masque at least once a week, which tackles clogged pores while also firming skin and leaving it soft and silky.

Finally, pat skin dry with a soft towel but do not dry up all the water. Apply a moisturizer (with or without sunscreen) to help protect skin from dryness. Those who have oily skin do not have to moisturize as often as those who have dry, normal or combination skin.

How To Get Gorgeous Skin - Step by step

Don't go to bed with makeup on. Makeup left on overnight seeps into your pores, clogs them, and congests your skin. Make sure that you wash your face twice at the end of the day. Once to get the makeup off. A second time to wash the skin itself.

Exfoliate daily. After washing your face at night, be sure to exfoliate. Use a delicate scrub. If you don't have one on hand, a tablespoon of sugar or oatmeal will work just fine.

Use facial masks regularly. If possible, everyday is ideal. Again, if you don't have one on hand, make your own. Mashed banana or avocado is good. Plain yogurt also works well.

Keep a treatment and moisturizer on your face, day or night. Put your skin first. After you wash it at night, put on some kind of skin treatment, whether it's alpha hydroxy acids, vitamin A or C, or any kind of special cocktail treatment. Let that sink in, then put a moisturizer over that. In the morning, do the same.

Don't use the cheapest or most expensive cosmetics. Mom tells me that moderately priced cosmetics are the best. They get the job done, and the ingredients are usually pretty good. You have to keep trying various brands until you find something that works well for you.

Hydrate your face throughout the day. Whether it's a commercial product, or one you make yourself (fill a spray bottle with distilled water, add a few drops of chamomile or rose essential oil, shake it gently before each use, and spray it on) hydrate your face, even over makeup, frequently throughout the day.

Treat your face gently. Never pull, tug, or scrub your facial skin. Be very gentle when you clean it, moisturize it or makeup on it. This will lessen the chance that you'll damage your skin and get wrinkles.

Keep your face covered when you're in the sun. As beautiful as she is, my mom never lets anyone see her face when she's in the sun. She'll slather on a high factor sunscreen, put on sunglasses, and a wide brimmed hat.

Eat fresh foods and drink lots of water. My mom tells me to stay away from "dead food" food that's basically not fresh. She always eat lots of veggies, fruits, nuts, and drinks tons of water.

Let go of stress. Stress can show up on your face, no matter how well you take care of your skin. Do something your enjoy everyday, whether it's watching TV or going shopping. Your face reflects what's going on inside of your mind.

Answer 2

From my experience, if you are prone to open pores and acne, you need to drink more water, take vitamin C which will have a huge effect within 2 weeks (trust me) completely avoid chocolate and fried food, including fish and chips, take-aways and home cooking should be grilled or boiled. Also completely avoid soap and face wash, and use a cleansing cream which has no alcohol or perfume which only irritates sensitive skin. I spent years trying to beat this problem, and found that all of the above brought about a major improvement in a short time. The vitamin C is important as it acts as a healing agent , so you needn't use creams and lotions for acne. Good luck

Answer 3

It all depends on what you are using on your skin. Many products on the market contain petroleum,lanolin, or mineral oil which is nothing more than crude oil refined. These products clogs the pores which doesn't allow the skin to breath, therefore not allowing the skin to release the bad toxins nor letting the skin absorb the good natural products. You aren't doing anything wrong, you are just misinformed. Please take a look at my website www.intrinsicbeauty.myarbonne.com and if you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me and I can e-mail you some before and after photos of real people. Our products are formulated in Switzerland (and you know what they say about Swiss products) and made in the US. Do yourself a favor and take a look at my website. I think you will be glad you did. I suffered from cystic acne most of my life and have had clear skin for the past 2 years thanks to our pure, safe, and beneficial products.

Answer 4

When your pores and hair follicles are clogged with too much sebum (oil) exercising may make it worse when you sweat. Go on line about skin care and it will explain in detail all you need to know about getting clear skin. There's a lot of information out there and remember "one-size" doesn't fit all and don't expect overnight miracles. Your skin exfoliates every 28-30 days so it make take 2-3 months to see real results.

Answer 5

water is the key to healthy skin, as it hydrates the skin preventing it from becoming dry and you getting lines on your face. Also cleanse, tone and moisturise. Use products for sensitive skin and dont use heavy oily moisturisers a light moisturiser will suffice. Nivea all day aqua is a good example of this!! hope this helped.

Answer 6

Drink loads of Water!! I used have bad skin and tried every product but none really worked. When I stopped drinking any fizzy at all and drank water all day - even when your not feeling thirsty just constantly sip from a bottle of water!

Even now my skin is clear I still dont drink fizzy's and drink about 2 litres of water a day.

Answer 7

you might just be at a stage in your life where clear skin isn't an option. i went through it...we all go through it. just keep washing it everyday...eat well and that's about all you can do. give it time. i hit the later years and i cleared up to the point that now everyone says that i have the best skin they've ever seen! :)

Answer 8

Wash your face at night is very important, and spend more time rinsing than washing. Use a non alcohol astringent, and oil-free moisturizer. Do not use scrubs if you have acne. Drink plenty of water. May I recommend CO Bigelow's line, you can find it at Bath and Bodyworks. The clay cleanser is excellent and prevents shine throughout the day also.

Answer 9

make sure you take any make up off before you go to bed and in the hot weather skin sweats and that's when your poo res get clogged up. when you wash your face always use cool water after or a cool cleansing wipe to close poo rs. georgie x

Only my two kids...until they're 18. I give them a certain amount of freedom, but not too much. They're still little. I let them be themselves, but I don't let them be disrespectful or destructive. And I pay the bills and buy the clothes so they wear wth I tell them to.
