I’m trying to reduce my acne (it’s not that bad, I just get random breakouts though) and get healthier skin, so I thought I’d post what I’m going to do. Hopefully you guys can benefit from it too! We’ll see if it works. (:
1. stop touching face
I touch my face all the time, so this is probably one of the main reasons for my breakouts. I’m just going to not rest my head in my hands in school, not touch the acne, and just generally try to avoid putting my hands in contact with my face.
2. use one towel for drying hair, one towel for drying body, and one towel for drying face
I only use one towel as of right now, which is actually somewhat stupid. Conditioner and shampoo can contribute to acne and so can the natural oils from your hair, so really all these things should be separate. Also, it’s probably a good idea to wash all the towels about once a week to keep them as clean and bacteria-free as possible.
3. get more sleep
I seriously don’t get enough sleep. The skin repairs itself at night, so it’s really important to get 8 hours or more. I get about 5, and that’s on a good night. So I’ll go to bed earlier and not waste time on my iPod touch. I’ll put my iPod and phone across the room from my bed so there will be no distractions and I can just go to sleep.
4. drink more tea ...
