Those of us with sensitive skin seem to wonder why acne comes and goes. If you want to limit problems with acne, you have to pay attention to how you’re supporting your skin. But not to worry, limiting acne can be done simply by following these few lifestyle tips and a basic cleansing regimen…

Exercise

We have to say it; you need to exercise regularly. It will help you reduce the stress and toxins that can lead to acne. A healthy sweat will clear your pores, boost oxygen to the skin and give you a radiance all over that acne can’t latch onto.

Drink lots of water

Water helps keep skin cells healthy, and get the toxins out of the body.

Limit dirt and oil accumulation on the face

• Avoid touching your face
• Clean all makeup brushes often
• Shampoo your hair regularly/Don’t let your hair rest on your face too much

Do not irritate the skin

• Use makeup that is designed for sensitive skin
• Always remove your makeup before bed. For best results, use Purifying Charcoal Organic Cleanser to remove makeup and dirt without over-cleansing
• Use sunscreen
• Don’t pick and squeeze at blemishes

Basic cleansing regimen to make acne go away!

1. Three times a week, wet a clean washcloth with very warm water. Hold the washcloth over your face for about 5 minutes to open up the pores (rewet the washcloth every minute with warm water).
2. Morning and night, cleanse with warm water and Purifying Charcoal Organic Cleanser using gentle circular strokes. Rinse.
3. After cleansing, saturate a cotton ball with Calming Chamomile Organic Cleanser which contains tea tree oil and calming ingredients for sensitive skin. Tea tree has long been known for its antimicrobial activity in treating acne lesions and preventing acne from appearing.
