Guidelines -
Cure Constipation – Constipation and acne have a direct relationship because if the toxins are not removed from your body, they will show up directly in your skin. Balance your gut microbiome.
(Toxins shows up in the form of acne, papules, pustules, boils)
Sanitize your phone every 3 days (To keep that acne-causing bacteria away from your skin)
Clean your comb every week – A clean scalp ensures a clean and healthy skin
Change your pillow cover once or twice every week – To prevent germ build-up
Have a healthy lifestyle
Do yoga daily for 1 hour – sweating helps in removing toxins from the body and increases blood circulation. Yoga also reduces stress.
Stay hydrated –Water removes toxins from the body and also keeps your skin plump and healthy Drinking the recommended daily amount of water (approximately 8 glasses or 2 liters) keeps your skin hydrated and can help prevent it from feeling dry, tight and losing its natural, healthy-looking glow.
Avoid eating sugar- Too much sugar and high glycaemic foods can break the bonds of collagen and elastin that keep your skin looking tight, youthful and fresh. Sugar also leads to inflammation internally and disturbs gut health.
(Researchers found that 48.2% of individuals who suffer from acne consumed dairy products (which has been studied before), 35.6% consumed soda juices or syrups, 37% consumed pastries and chocolate, and 29.7% consumed sweets, all on a daily basis. Previous studies linking food to acne have shown foods with a high glycaemic index can trigger breakouts; these new numbers only further underscore how deeply connected diet and skin are related.)
Avoid Blue light – Blue light from the modern era gadgets like mobile phones and laptops can also harm skin barrier, produce pigmentation / dark spots
Over exfoliating – Mild exfoliation is a necessity for healthy skin but using wrong products and over-exfoliation leads to disrupting the skin barrier thus causing acne
Say no to alcohol - alcohol dehydrates the body and constricts the blood vessels, which can result in dull, tired-looking skin.
Sleep
Get at least 7 hours of sleep every night -Going to bed earlier gives you and your body more time to recover, so you can wake up with skin that feels fresher and more revitalized.
Say no to Caffeine - Caffeine increases the amount of water we lose from our body, which means consuming too much can dehydrate the skin and decreases the body’s ability to flush out toxins.
Do not change your products too frequently, make sure you use organic and natural products instead of toxic loaded skincare items
Choose good quality non-comedogenic skin products.
Less is more and consistency is the key.
