Clear Up Your Complexion For A Radiant and Clear Wedding Day!

Your big day is around the corner and you’ve got everything prepared for perfection. All that is left to do is wait for the day to arrive. The waiting is the worst, but even worse than that? Acne. No one wants to have blemishes laying all over their face when their big day finally arrives. So how do you look the best on one of the best days of your life?? Find out all that you need about what causes acne, how to treat it, and how to prevent it.

What Can You Do To Treat It?

It seems as though chemicals are a cause of acne, so why treat it with what is causing it? That seems to be a vicious circle that leads you no where. In some cases, acne is part of your gene pool. But what about changing the way you eat? The way you live to be healthier, not only on the inside, but on the outside too?

What Causes Acne?

Acne is caused by clogged pores attached to hair follicles that are attached to the oil glands, but what causes those oil glands to act up to clog those pores?? To treat acne you have to know what causes acne.

What You Eat

Too much of a good thing can be a bad thing. In this case, processed foods, starches, and sugary foods will leave your complexion looking less than perfection. You don’t necessarily have to cut out these items from your diet, but having them with moderation would probably be best; Balancing your diet with fruits and vegetables is helpful if you don’t want to completely change your diet!

The products that you use on your face can be good for you, but they can also contain harmful ingredients that can make it flare up more. You may think that using special cleanser and scrubs may help, but good old fashioned soap and water will do the trick!

Concealer and foundation may do the trick to cover up your unwanted blemishes. Your skin needs to breath and the reason that you have acne is because you pores are clogged. Why would you put more layers on your skin to cause more acne? Be mindful when choosing which foundation you use; If it has ingredients that allow your skin to breath, like silk powder, you’re ok. But if there are ingredients like mineral oil and phenoxyethanol (a fancy way of saying ammonium, which will likely have a fragrance and alcohol base) that will weigh your skin down, you want to avoid them. Check out these alternative concealer and foundation for your morning routine.

Your Hair Routine?

This may sound funny, but our hair routine may be the cause… Our hair and scalp need a lot of  help with keeping clean and the products we use are chosen by personal preference, but are they what we actually need? If you have oily hair, you don’t want to get a shampoo that will be heavy and oily, this will relay over to your skin.

Shampoos and conditioners are known to have parabens (A chemical that kills yeast like bacteria), Fragrance (a mixture of chemicals that manufacturers throw together to make a certain smell), sulfate (this is what makes soaps foamy), and formaldehyde (it preserves the product so that it stays in tact for the duration of the time that it is in use.) All these chemicals rank for a reaction from skin, try a shampoo and conditioner that will be less harsh!

Laundry?

Just like your skin care and hair routine, your laundry may also play a key roll in how your skin reacts. Laundry detergent has a ton of fragrance in it and fabric softener has a waxy base of which will more than likely clog your pores. Dryer balls are a great alternative to fabric softener!

Stress

As individual, our bodies react differently to different situations. If you don’t relieve your stress, it will start appearing in different ways on you body. I.E. weight gain, acne, hair loss, etc. If your stress reliever is painting, paint. If it’s working out, work out. Don’t just let it fester.

Now that you’ve released some stress, use some hydrating and cleansing body wash, and take a nice bath or shower. Sweat mixed with all the moisturizers and other things that you use are a great source for clogged pores. Take a hot bath, but not too hot, and continue to enjoy your stress free life.

You Can’t Leave Well Enough Alone!

You may simply have acne, not because of the products you use, but because you hound the acne that you do have. You may pick at it to alleviate some pain or pressure associated with acne or you just don’t want that small planet on your face (do any of us really want that??). But the more you pick and bother it, the more it will spread. Just keep that in mind! After you’ve completed your routine, try a preventative moisturizer!
