Need healthy skin?

Jerry K

Here are quick and simple ways that we can care for our healthy skin:

1. Exercise regularly. Exercise is good for our heart and body. Even our skin benefits with exercise by increasing blood circulation and thus bringing enough oxygen and nutrients to the rest of our body. Exercise also triggers the body to produce more sebum that is the body’s natural moisturizer.

2. Be smoke and alcohol- free. Smoking tends to destroy the Vitamin C in your body, damage the elastic tissues that keep the skin tight. Drinking liquor on the other hand tends to expand your blood vessels causing red spots and itchiness on your skin.

3. Rest. Get plenty of rest. You are giving your skin a time to rejuvenate and heal while you rest. Stress is extremely bad for your skin and body. It indirectly creates instability in your hormonal system, which in turn leads to more skin problems like breakouts and acne.

4. Take care of you skin and choose only the best acne products if you need to clear your pores. And remember, they do not work in a few days, you need at least a month to treat your acne completely!

Aloe Vera for Acne

Jerry K

The historic use of Aloe Vera – daily beauty care routine – relates it to the legendary silky looks of Queen Cleopatra. The doubts one could have due to the virtually mythical quality of this story could be shattered by the contemporary practice of treating some skin disorders with Aloe products. Acne vulgaris is one of these diseases curable by using Aloe. Although products based on Aloe extract have a multiple application, when it comes to skin care, both tradition and proved efficiency deliver an evidence for all skeptics.

Acne is a skin disease that affects most of the teenagers and can resist to a series of treatments up to one’s twenties or thirties or even last for the whole life. It does not ravage just the face skin, but it can appear on one’s shoulders, back, arms, chest and, in some rare but severe cases, it can cover almost the entire body. Acne has a series of different causes, starting from heredity, stress, hormonal activity or some particular medications, up to diet and hygiene. If you look at this range of causes you find out it is hard enough not to have acne, and if you actually don’t suffer from this disorder, you can consider yourself lucky.

Compared to cancer or some other serious conditions, acne is sometimes looked at as a minor disorder that will surely disappear in time. General opinion links it to adolescence and puberty and, when the latter will be gone, acne will to. Though not deadly, the impact of this disease should not be understated, as it could lead to surprising psychological reactions, like insecurity, low self-esteem, and depression or even to a more radical consequence, that is, suicide. This is why it’s very important to start acne treatment as soon as possible.

Concerning the acne products, one of main objectives is recovering or maintaining a nice skin. Acne is one of those disorders soothed by Aloe Vera.

The idea that sits behind the technology used in processing Aloe Vera is that health and beauty begin from the inside in order to be visible on the outside. If your body feels good on the inside, that will show on your skin. A beautiful skin doesn’t necessarily mean a healthy one – this is why cosmetics are so misleading – but health, on the other side, means order and beauty. This is one more reason to choose acne products with Aloe Vera. You can also find these products in our Acne Treatment review.
