3 things to help acne NOW!

Have you tried everything to clear your skin? Here are 3 strategies you may not have known about!

#1  Ice your blemishes – using ice is cheap and easy! If you have 1 or 2 inflamed (red or swollen) blemishes, you can wrap an ice cube in a paper towel and hold on the blemish for about 60 seconds, remove for 30 seconds and REPEAT 4-5 times. Do this twice a day on clean skin. Or, if you’re having inflamed (red) blemishes over a particular area (cheeks, jawline, forehead), use the ice without the paper towel and gently rub over the area for about 3 minutes. These protocols will help reduce inflammation and redness, and may speed healing.

#2  Change your pillowcase – this is super important! Use a fresh pillowcase every other night. On the second night flip your pillow over to the clean side. By the way, no scented detergent and no fabric softener or dryer sheets.

#3  Check your supplements – although I’m not a nutritionist, anecdotal reports suggest that avoiding biotin (common in “hair skin nails” supplements can improve acne. Adding Omega 3 and probiotics can be helpful for clearing skin, as can zinc. Do your own research and consult your physician if you are unsure. I can help with suggesting brands that are known to work.
