How To Get Rid Of Acne: Routine, Diet & Lifestyle | Melanie Murphy

As the primary caregivers in many cases women often feel as if they are letting their kids, or spouse, down if they don't jump right in and make it all better. Take care of yoruself first and the rest will follow. Remember when you are on a plane and the flight attendant tells you to put the oxygen mask on yourself first, than help others? 

Benzoyl Peroxide is most likely the active ingredient you will find in any product you want to try and usually comes in a concentration of 10%. Any concentration above 10% is too drying and may make your skin look blotchy and even peel in spots. Where's the sense in getting rid of the acne only to create another problem for yourself. 

Only in the most extreme situations where exercise isn't possible, would this even be advisable. And even then, for most people there is some form of exercise they can do. Someone even confined to a bed may be able to move his or her arms and do a form of strength training to help build endurance. So there are very few situations where no exercise at all is the only choice. 

It's vital that you never forget that the health of your skin actually starts on the inside of your body, not on the outside. Making sure you provide your body with ample nutrition can go a long way to stopping outbreaks before they start. Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. Avoid eating too many greasy foods. 

It could be something as simple as a strong wind that will set your skin on fire and make it very dry and scratchy feeling. Other common problems for anyone who has sensitive skin include cold, dust, heat, smoke, rough fabrics, lotions, perfumes, and even some beverages and food like caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods. 

Everything from toxins in your environment, like exhaust fumes and dust, can have a very strong, and very bad, impact on your skin. Stress is another huge catalyst for breakouts. Today we have enormous amounts of stress on us. With our responsibilities to our jobs, our families, and ourselves, our society is more stressful now that at any time in history, despite all of our advances.
