Some Tips for Smoother Skin

Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Oil Free Acne Wash,$7.49


1. Hydration! This is probably a no-brainer but adequate water consumption is exremely important for smooth and healthy skin. Drink the recommended 8 cups a day if possible.

2. Avoid fried foods eg. Chips, Burgers. Instead, eat  plenty of vegetables, fruits and fish. The omega-3 fatty oils in fish are not only good for your skin, but also your hair! Try eating omega-3 rich fish such as salmon.

3. Always wash your face with cold water. If you use warm water, this will cause your pores to open up. First wash your face with cold water to get the dirt off, then use warm water in order to open up your pores for cleansing and toning.

4. Exfoliate! But not too much or this will harm your skin, about 1 or 2 times a week will do fine. Several ways to exfoliate could be through enzymes, manual scrubs and chemicals. Read here for more info on exfoliating.


5. Remove your make up before you sleep! 


6. Use pimple cream containing salicylic acid or benzyl peroxide
