7 Beauty Tips For Acne Prone Skin
Acne. Boy do I hate it. Those pimples popping up all over my face back in my teenaged years. Even now, I do get acne outbreaks when I am stressed, or use the wrong skin care product. I've been to many doctors who are able to clear my acne, until the next outbreak.
Part of the reason is oily skin. Greasy skin that traps dirt and skin debris clogging up pores make your skin pores an excellent breeding place for bacteria. The bacteria multiplies and voila. You have acne.
All is not lost. If you have oily skin that is prone to acne, here are 7 beauty tips to help keep the pimples away.
1. Keep your HANDS off your face.
You hands, after touching so many things, opening the door, picking up a bag, things we do everyday, are covered with bacteria. The last thing you want is to put that bacteria on your face. Touch your face often with your hands, or worse still, pick those pimples with your fingers, and you will see the pimples multiply.
2. Keep your HAIR off your face.
If you have oily skin, you probably have oily hair. Oily hair brushing against your face adds to the oil. Oil, sweat and skin debris are a great way to clog the pores in your skin, leading to more pimples. If you notice pimples appearing on your forehead, or your cheeks and chin, typically where your hair might brush against, your hair could be the culprit. Wear a hairband, use hair clips to keep your hair off your face, tie it into a pony tail, or get a hair cut.
3. Wash your face 3 times a day with a good acne cleanser.
I got that tip from a doctor. I washed my face when I woke up, at lunch time and at bedtime with a cleanser that is meant for skin that has acne. My skin cleared when I stuck to the routine and used only skin care products meant for skin with acne. A bar of soap meant for washing your face does the trick just as well.
4. Stick to acne skin care
Every time I stray from that point, I end up with a major acne outbreak. Always. Everytime I see my pals with exceptionally radiant skin, I want to use whatever they use. I would switch to richer, anti aging skin care as a preventive measure, worried about wrinkles appearing when I get older. That backfires every time. I end up with more pimples. Stick to good acne skin care products [http://www.everythingbeauty.info/acne.htm].
5. Relax
Did you notice how pimples tend to appear more before a stressful event. Exams. A big date. A presentation. Stress wreaks havoc on your skin. Ok, pimples can also pop up due to hormonal imbalances, like just before your period.
6. Sleep
Your skin heals itself when you sleep. Your entire body heals itself in your sleep. A night without sleep may lead to more pimples. Make it a habit to leave your worries behind and get a good night's sleep. Work out more earlier in the day. Get some exercise before evening. It helps.
7. Stay away from pressed powder compact.
Yup. You heard me right. I got this tip from a friend. Her friend used a pressed powder compact to hide her acne. Instead, the more she used it the worse it got. Just think. By mid day, your skin gets oily. You take out the powder compact, and use that powder puff to apply pressed powder on your face. Now, your face would already have dirt, bacteria and oil on it. Pat your face with that powder puff and now that puff picks up the dirt, bacteria and oil. You put it back into the compact. The bacteria happily breeds in there. Then you take out the compact again and pat more powder, mixed with oil, dirt and bacteria onto your face, picking up more gunk, putting in more gunk into your compact. The cycle goes on. A better bet would be to use blotting paper to blot off the excess oil instead. Then you can throw the paper away after use. Use the blotting paper meant for your face like the ones found at [http://www.everythingbeauty.info/blotting%20paper.htm]
About this powder puff thing, make it a point to wash your powder puff and all your make up brushes regularly, with soap and water. Then dry them completely before you keep them. Guess that would make it an 8th tip right?
Oily, acne prone skin needs a lot of care. The bright side is that oily skin is slower to show signs of aging than dry skin. Take care of your skin and you'll probably look younger than your peers as the decades go by.

Body Beautiful
To keep your body skin soft and healthy, you need to give it attentive care. If you have dry skin or any skin type during wintertime-practice the following routine. Bathe only once a day and limit showers and baths to five minutes. Use lukewarm water and minimize the amount of soap you apply. Olay Complete Moisturizing Body Wash contains petroleum and is good for very dry skin. Concentrate the lather under the arms and in the groin area.
Don't forget to wash the soles of your feet, between the toes, and your ears. If you have sensitive skin, avoid cleansers with fragrances and skip the loofah or any other abrasive sponge. Keep a pumice stone handy and use on the feet daily or weekly depending on the condition of your feet. When you come out of the bath or shower, only pat your skin dry. Apply a moisturizer, such as Avon Moisture Therapy Body Lotion, Eucerin Plus Lotion, or Arnlactin Lotion, to damp skin to trap moisture in the skin.
In summertime or if you have oily to normal body skin-feel free to take lengthier showers or increase the temperature. You can also shower or bathe two times a day. Loofah sponges are acceptable for exfoliation, but be careful not to make the skin raw or irritated.
If you are a plus-size woman, don't forget to lift your breasts and any abdominal folds and wash underneath. Also, lift each arm to wash armpits and one leg to cleanse the groin area. Pat your entire body dry with a towel and sprinkle the body folds with an absorbent powder like Zeasorb AF, which has antifungal properties.
If you have darkened areas on your neck and under the arms (acanthosis nigricans), dark elbows or knees, or small rough bumps on the arms and legs (keratosis pilaris), do not attempt to scrub the problem away. You'll only irritate the skin. If, however, you notice peeling skin on your towel, you may need to exfoliate manually (using a loofa) or chemically (using exfoliating acids). The following cleansers for the body offer a variety of options for women in color: Olay or Dove Bar Soap, Avon's Bath Gels, Olay Cleanser for Dry Skin, and Dove Cleanser.
The cotton gloves provide a barrier between your hands and the rubber gloves, which contain ingredients that can trigger an allergic reaction. Cotton gloves also absorb perspiration, preventing irritation and rashes. Try to avoid wearing latex or vinyl gloves for long periods of time and never wear them overnight. Carry a rich hand cream (Neutrogena Hand Cream or Avon Hand Cream) in your purse and apply it many times throughout the day, especially in cold weather.
Be sure to wear cold-weather gloves throughout the winter to avoid dry, cracked hands. If you develop cracks in your fingers, apply a glob of Vaseline to the area several times a day. If they do not heal after a few days, then see your dermatologist for medicated ointments.

Five Important Skin Care Tips For Men
Until recently, a majority of men considered that taking care of their skin was far from manly and that it was the prerogative of women. Not any more. Today that point of view no longer exists. Effective skin care is now considered an intrinsic part of daily regime by most men.
How does aging affect your skin?
For men who have crossed 35, skin care becomes even more essential as aging takes its toll on their skin. These are the changes you see:
The skin becomes less elastic, less radiant and duller Wrinkles appear in areas of the face that have never been touched by a sunscreen/sun protection cream Blood vessels become visible on the top layer of the skin Tiny brown freckles called solar lentigines appear on the face
You should take care of your skin because:
You will look younger and you complexion appears more radiant
Skin is a protective barrier against germs dust and other forms of infection
There are four most important tips that form the basis of anti-aging skin care regimen for men.
Cleansing
Did you know that a man's skin is 15% more oilier than a woman's? Also the pores on a man's skin are quite larger than those on a woman's. Due to this, a man's skin needs to be cleansed more often. Whatever the skin type - (oily, dry, a combination of both, sun damaged or sensitive), deep cleansing is the first and basic step skin care. This keeps the skin smooth, wrinkle free, healthy and the pores clean.
Avoid bar soap for your face; use a deep cleanser instead
Deep cleansers contain surfactants, oil and water
The surfactants dissolve the makeup and dirt on the skin, the oil dissolves the oil and the water washes all this away from your face
The best cleanser for you skin is the one that contains all three ingredients in a proportion suited for your skin type
One of the most effective ways to cleanse is to splash your face with warm water (not hot or cold) to de-clog the pores and loosen the dirt; apply a small amount of cleanser and rinse it off with cool water
Cleansing too often tends to damage the skin
Some popular cleansing products in the market today are:
Zirh Clean Face Wash Jack Black All Over Wash MenScience Daily Face Wash Oil of Olay Sensitive Skin Wash
However, one of the most effective anti-ageing face cleansers is the "Deep Active Cleaning Mask", an Xtendlfe product, made from natural ingredients and containing powerful anti oxidants. This product your skin extra deep cleaning and has to be used once a fortnight.
Exfoliating your skin once a week will make your face look more youthful.
Scrubs remove the dead cells in the topmost layer of the skin, thus removing the skin's dullness
A weekly exfoliation routine using a microdermabrasion produces the best results
Chemical peels can also make your face look much younger
If the monthly peel seems expensive, you can always buy a peel that works over a month, like the MD Skincare Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel
The top layer of the cells on the facial skin are removed and the collagen is regenerated - this is what Retinoids do for your skin
Exfoliation should be done only to that level where the top layer of dead cells is removed. Too much of it may cause skin irritation and redness.
Retin A is a popular exfoliation product as is the Lancome Microdermabrasion Kit.
Moisturizing
Unlike what some of us believe, moisturizers are beneficial even for those with an oily skin. Except for those men who have acne, moisturizers work well for all, provided you choose the product recommended for your skin type.
Shaving Tip
Shaving makes the skin rough. Coat your skin with warm water before applying shaving cream. After the shave, rinse with cool water and apply a good after shave cream like Afta.
A moisturizer basically adds moisture to your skin, preventing it from drying up
You know you need a moisturizer when your skin feels tight and stretched across your face.
Moisturizers for oily skin should contain oil free and non pore clogging ingredients
Moisturizers for dry skin should contain hyaluronic acid, glycerin and dimethicone
Effective moisturizers for normal and combination skins come in stick and gel formulations
There are day and night moisturizer types. Use the ones that are best suited for your skin and life style
Excessive moisturizing routines clog pores
Jack Black Line Smoother Face Moisturizer is an anti-ageing skin care product as the name suggests. It helps keep the skin smooth and wrinkle free. Other popular products are John Varvatos Skin Hydrating Face Moisturizer, MenScience Advanced Face Lotion and Zirh Protect Face Moisturizer.
Application of Sunscreen
The most significant ill effect of too much exposure to the sun is the premature wrinkling of your skin. To keep your skin supple and protected from this kind of damage, use a good sunscreen product.
Some men prefer using two types of moisturizers, one for providing moisture to the skin at night and the other which has an effective UV shield to be used during the day
Sunscreens should contain zinc or titanium oxide as one of its ingredients; sunscreens with Aloe Vera are good for your skin too
Sunscreen lotions also help keep your skin looking young and radiant.
The Sun Protection Factor (SPF) in a sunscreen should be 15 or higher - SPF tells you how much longer you can be in the sun
The UVA rays of the sun age your skin and UVB rays cause skin damage and sometimes cancer; the label on the sunscreen product tells you whether it protects you against UVA or UVB
If you need something to protect your skin while in water buy a water resistant or waterproof sunscreen
If you spend long hours in the sun, applying a moisturizer with Vitamin E later adds further protection to your skin
Popular sunscreen products created for men are MenScience TiO2 Sunblock SPF 30, Jack Black Water/Sweat Resistant Sun Guard, SPF 30 and DDF organic Sunblock SPF 30.
If you still happen to be one of those men who think skin care is best left to women, reading this article may well change your mind and help you create your own skin care regimen that keeps you looking and feeling good.

Makeup Tips and Tricks - What to Do Before Applying Makeup
There are a couple of steps that you need to take before you apply your makeup. Your skin is sensitive, and care should be taken to enhance the beauty of your face. Don't just go through the motions of putting your your cosmetics every morning. Make it a regular beauty ritual, and get to know the contours and features of your skin. Your skin will be glowing and radiant when you take time to create a natural look.
Before you dive into your cosmetics bag, take a look at your face. Do an up close and personal analysis, and look for subtle changes like freckles, moles, acne, or just simply dry skin. You will want to work with your imperfections, and resolve to cover them with the best skin care treatments possible. A good makeup mirror is best for viewing your face, I like the ones that are magnified.
Cleanse The Face Thoroughly
Always wash your face before you apply makeup. This prepares the skin for the makeup, and removing dirt and oil is essential to keep your skin clear and radiant. A good cleansing lotion, or moisturizing bar of facial soap will do the trick. Some good brands include pHisoderm pH Anti-Blemish Gel Facial Wash, Burt's Bees Facial Cleanser, and Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Cleanser. These deep cleansing treatments will leave you feeling refreshed, while preparing your face for makeup.
Remember to choose a facial cleanser that is appropriate for your skin type. Gently massage your cheeks, forehead, chin, nose, and the area around your mouth. Be careful not to get any soap in your eyes. Apply the cleanser right back to your hair line, and follow the instructions on the product. Rinse your face clean, and then apply a good toner.
Try A Good Facial Toner
Some really effective facial toners include Clinique Clarifying Lotion, Burt's Bees Rosewater and Glycerin Toner, and Dermalogica Multi Active Toner.
Skin toners are wonderful for shrinking your pores, and they also tend to freshen your face by tightening your skin. There are lots of ways to apply a toner. My favorite method is just to use cotton balls. Simply apply a little facial toner to the cotton ball, and trace along your face, again avoiding the eyes, until you have spread the solution across your face. You will want to rinse the solution off with warm water, following the instructions on the product.
Moisturize
Being over 40, I like to apply a light moisturizer before putting on my makeup. It keeps my skin fresh looking especially if I want to wear a matte foundation or powder. It's also good for diminishing fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and mouth. Moisturizers are good for adding that extra dewy look to your skin, and it also creates a barrier that keeps moisture in. Some excellent moisturizers that won't dull your foundation include Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream, Bare Escentuals RareMinerals Purely Nourishing Facial Moisturizer, and DML Daily Facial Moisturizer.
It may take additional time to prepare your face for makeup each morning, but it will give you that extra radiance, and spark to start your day on a beautiful note.

The Psychology of Fragrance - Are You a Person 1 or a Person 2?
Do you love bath and body products? Do you have a mental list of your current lemmings? Do you look forward to your favorite line launching new scents and products each season? Do you enjoy fragrance and wear something scented daily? I know I do. My senses are linked to my emotions, right to the core. Chances are, if you are reading this piece, then yours are too.
In my eyes, there are two kinds of people when it comes to this genre. By "this genre", I am referring to bath & body products, perfumes and home fragrances (sprays, candles and tarts). What two types of people are there? Let's see how they go about getting a new lotion.
Person 1 has dry skin. She is at Target shopping and walks down the body aisle, looks at the size and the price of a lotion, along with its claims to cure her dry skin. She puts the 26 ounce bottle into the cart and that is the end of her quest.
Person 2 is shopping for a lotion as well. It is not because her skin is dry. How could it be? She has already started her day by dry brushing her skin to boost its circulation, used her sugar scrub, luxurious bar of handmade soap, sprayed on a custom scented oil, rubbed in her body cream and topped it off with Eau de Parfum and maybe a hair mist. She truly needs nothing.
She's lotion shopping because as much as she loves her blend of vanilla beans, almond sans the cherry notes, and fluffy marshmallows, she is feeling more in the mood for lilac. She then goes online to her favorite etailers and compares massive scent lists before combing over the ingredients and different formulas. She imagines the different textures. She wonders if the owner whom she has come to know through emails will possibly blend her a lotion that is 4 fragrances mixed together.
She adds one to her cart, then goes back and changes her mind several times. She asks herself, "Do I want a silky butter or a whipped cream? "Do I want a lotion made of goat's milk or one that is Vegan?" "Do I want 2 bottles of 8 ounce lotions or do I want to try 8 bottles in the 2 ounce size?" She might ask some of her friends for their opinions and read some reviews. If she is a retail-only shopper, she might go to the mall and linger at her LUSH, Crabtree & Evelyn or Bath & Body Works as she sniffs scents and then applies various formulas to her hand.
Person 2 engages all of her senses. This is how I am. If you're a "Person 2", your friends and family will not understand your adoration for this genre unless they too are in the second category. There is nothing "wrong" with being either kind of person. I really think we are just wired differently.
For you and me, our love of this genre is truly a part of us. We are not crazy for loving our scented treasures. Unless we are hoarding products to make up for a void or are buying more than we can afford to, then I think we are just fine! At the end of the day, all of us want to feel special and pampered and fragrance is such a part of that. When we smell a tart burning that is like a fresh-baked apple pie, it can make us feel comforted. When we take a long bath and use a special soap instead of a bar of Zest, it makes us feel pampered and pretty. Bath and body products, as well as fragrance sprays and candles are part of a unique sensory experience. These products touch our senses at SO many levels.
Of course our sense of smell is affected by this passion. For us, however, it runs much deeper. When we smell a particular fragrance, it triggers an emotional response. When I smell the original Beauty Fluid (once the pink Oil of Olay), it reminds me of watching my mom put this on her face when I was a small child. When I smell "Love's Baby Soft", it takes me back to when I was a pre-teen wanting to be more "grown up" for my crush. The aroma of mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie wafting through the kitchen on a holiday immediately remind me of my Dad and bring back such joyous memories. I have 2 body products in my stash that are literally 15 years old. These are my coveted Peach Hyacinth scents from Victoria's Secret. They take me back to college, my dear friends and my first "true" love. I don't wear these old items, but every now and then I do take them out and have a sniff.
The smell of White Linen instantly reminds me of my grandmother. I smile every single time I smell a lilac. It means the warm weather is finally here. Fragrance truly affects us. Have you had a time when you have been thinking of someone close to you who has passed on and from out of nowhere you can just smell their perfume? Chances are you have. When my son Nicholas was born more than a month before his due date, he had to stay a few days longer in the Special Care Nursery under the bililights for his jaundice. He couldn't come home with us. Late each night when my husband and I were in bed, we took the tiny knit cap that he had been wearing and held it to our noses because it had his scent on it. I know if you're a "Person 2" like I am, that you can relate to these emotions linked to the sense of scent.
I know that for me, my daily choice of fragrance is directly linked to how I am feeling. When I am feeling the need for a little comfort, whether it be because I am sad or because it is a cold winter's day, I reach for the warm bakery scents. I reach for chocolates, vanillas, and cake scents. When I am in need of energy, I spritz myself with Clarins Eau Dynamisante or Lancome Aroma Tonic. If I am going out with my husband without the boys, I'll wear Maybe Baby or any other soft and cheerful floral.
For people like us, you undoubtedly have your home scented to match the seasons. Chances are you're burning something spring-like right now. Maybe a clean and cottony scent, something with yuzu or some blooming lilacs. At holiday time, maybe you had the scent of candy canes, pecan pies, or apple dumplings wafting through your home. In October, you were probably burning candy corn or pumpkin candles and tarts.
For a "Person 2", the sense of sight truly affects whether we will truly enjoy a product. Sometimes we will not buy products if we don't have a picture of what they look like. I am one of them. Sometimes we sit and stare at our computer screens drooling over scrubs scooped so high into the jars that they resemble colorful desserts. You know they will not look like that when they arrive. After all, how would the shop be able to secure the jar if the product was whipped up 4 inches higher than the top of the jar? You are still seduced into buying because they look so pretty.
We use the sense of sight in bath and body often. I remember going shopping with my mom years ago at Yankee Candle Company. She would not buy any votives in colors she did not like. As much as she loved the spicy autumn aromas, she wouldn't buy russets, oranges, and browns because she only wanted candles that would match dusty rose or colonial blue...and then, of course, the candles in those colors were scents she did not enjoy. If a product doesn't look pretty to you, a person 2 probably will skip it no matter how good it might actually be.
The sense of touch is truly a part of a Person 2's quest for products of this genre. A "Person 1" will buy a product without being concerned about its texture. I realized this when I used to try different oils on my skin and write them down in my little book. It sounds extreme, but I used to designate a page for each oil and then write down how it felt applying it to my skin (Jojoba vs. Sweet Almond, etc.), whether it felt too greasy or not...how my skin felt a few minutes later, an hour later, and then at the end of the day. I then started doing that with all of the different formulas I was using. I am sure you do it too. You might not write it down in a little book, but you take mental notes of how a body cream feels when you apply it. You make note of whether it feels too watery or too tacky. You notice if it sinks right in, the type of finish it ultimately dries to...
A Person 2 places as much importance on the texture as the appearance and scent. If a product's actual texture is unpleasant, it won't be enjoyed by a Person 2 no matter how pleasant it smells. I remember trying several whipped bath creams. The smell of one was heavenly, but it felt almost crumbly and was dry yet almost sticky when I rubbed it into my arms in the shower. I recently noticed how much importance I place on the sense of touch when I went through a 15 ounce jar of Mad City Soap (aka Mad City Sue) Whipped Sugar Scrub in a week. It feels so good on my skin that I will just keep applying more and more just because it makes my legs and arms so incredibly soft! It was one thing for me to go through my first jar in 7 days, but that was 8 ounces...Logically, that scrub should still be in my bathroom, but if a product feels that good in texture, I have been known to go overboard (and I learned my lesson once by applying way too much castor oil to my hair).
My favorite bar of soap, Aunt Nancy's Handmade Soap (palm-oil free!) is a peppermint and cocoa blend. Nevermind the delicious scent-this soap is so luxurious that it glides across my skin and feels so silky. The way this feels is just as important as its effectiveness.
Believe it or not, a Person 2 will also take note of this genre's effect on the sense of sound. It sounds silly, but I think we do revel in how a bath bomb sounds when it is fizzing in our tubs. I know I do. When I draw my bath, I pay attention to the crackling sound of my candle flame (I like a Wood Wick in the bathroom), the water gently caressing the bubbles and the fizz of my favorite bath bombs.
As far as sense of taste goes...this isn't as great when it comes to our world of fragrance love. That is not to say that it doesn't have its role. I don't know whether it is because I am what I call a "Person 2", but I notice that when it comes to my beverages, I am just as in tune to blending beautiful aromas. Perhaps it is unrelated, but I am a tea lover. I went through a phase last year when I ordered complex blends of tea from several tea etailers and retailers-the more complex the better. That is why I love the Fairy Tale Tisane from SBS Teas so much. It is such a unique blend and it pleases all of my senses: the taste of the yogurt and vanilla, the comforting scent, even how pretty it is as I put it in my infuser. I am the same with coffee, taking bottles of coffee flavor syrups and making unique blends out of them for making drinks at home.
I know that I am not the only "Person 2" out there. Being one doesn't make you strange or abnormal. I think that it just means you're a more sensory-oriented person. I don't know if this is you, but I find I am a very emotional person...sometimes very private and guarded, but at other times, pouring my soul to the world. I am very in tune to how other people are feeling and one of those people who sees something unsettling on the news and start to cry. It would certainly be interesting for someone in the psychology field to actually devote a study to what I call "Person 1" and "Person 2" because I do wonder if we are wired a bit differently.
