How to get your acne under control and love your skin

Whether you are a teenager or in your thirties – acne prone skin can be a real hassle and can lead to you feeling unconfident and unhappy in your own skin. The solution to keeping acne at bay is finding a skincare routine that is easy to keep…and not touching your face. Seriously. Our fingers carry on average 3 200 different germs belonging to more than 150 species, according to Pfizer, so stop with the poking, touching and squeezing.  Also, BaoCare recommends adopting these healthy habits:

1. Hydrate: Acne responds well to regular and deep hydration. Cleanse your body and problem acne areas twice a day and after sweating. Follow up by applying a hydrating solution that is 100% natural, without the additives and chemicals of treatments and lotions. Stay away from greasy hydrating products.
2. Goodbye blemishes: Choose a gentle, light, non-oily serum that’s free of artificial additives to help banish blemishes. Try: BaoCare CLEAR which is helpful for both teens and more mature skins. It’s formulated with a synergistic combination of tea tree and evening primrose for their antimicrobial properties.  which not only heals acne but lightens dark spots as well.
3. Choose skin friendly food: Be mindful of the type of foods you are fuelling your body with, listen to your body’s language and become aware of foods that cause allergies and reactions. Reach for leafy greens and water high-content foods such as watermelons (just in time to be enjoyed on warm summer days), snack on a cucumber and crunch your way through celery, apples and oranges wherever possible.
4. Stay hydrated: Drink clear water daily to help your body’s systems function and flow, flushing toxins out the bowel so your body does not have to send toxins out through the skin dermis.
5. Be more zen: Stress is not going to help your skin in any way. Make a point of stressing less by adding a simple breathing routine to calm and centre you as you do your cleaning regime and apply hydration to your skin’s acne. Try the 5-5-5 routine of breathing in through your nose for the count of 5, holding your breath for the count of 5 and releasing your breath through the mouth to the count of 5 to calm your mind and body.
