I used to have an entire drawer crammed full of acne products . . .
I tried every over-the-counter treatment out there and even many
prescriptions. Nothing worked. Occasionally I would see temporary results, but
my acne always came back with a vengeance.
I thought I would grow out of it. I didn't.
Bad washing habits will only make your acneproblem worse
Washing your face is common sense, or is it?
There are right and wrong ways to wash, and some acne regimens actually
encourage washing practices that can end up damaging your skin. Follow these
guidelines to make sure you're fighting acne and not encouraging it when you
wash.
Wash your face only twice per day
One of the most frequent mistakes that acne
sufferers make is over-washing. Proper hygiene does not mean slathering yourface with harsh chemicals a hundred times per day.
Remember, most acne is not caused by surface
dirt or bacteria. Simply keeping your skin clean isn't going to stop the
biological processes behind acne. Over-washing can actually have the opposite
effect. By constantly sapping your skin of its protective layer of oil, you can
leave your cells dry and cracked, more easily irritated and more vulnerable to
damage, including sun damage that can lead to fine lines and wrinkles
But isn't excess skin oil the problem? Why not
eliminate it by washing frequently?
Yes, excess skin oil is the culprit behind
most acne, but the key word here is "excess".
Constantly washing your face is very different from using a supplement like
vitamin B5 to reduce oily skin. When you use a treatment like Clear5, you
provide your body with the metabolic fuel needed to eliminate excess skin oil,
but your body is smart - it regulates itself - meaning that when it has
eliminated the excess and reached an optimal level of skin oil, it stops,
leaving a natural level of oil to serve as a protective layer for your skin. In
other words: B5 allows your body to function how it was meant to function.
and stripping your skin of *all* oil, leaving
you more susceptible to damage and irritation. This is why most regimens force
you to follow with a moisturizer, but then you're just adding on more chemicals
that can have their own negative effects. Why not let your body protect itself
the natural way?
The exception to the twice-a-day rule is if you did something to get yourself dirty.
If, during the day, you managed to get yourself covered in mud or sweat or
corrosive acid, then by all means wash that stuff off. Just don't go washing
your face for no good reason
