Water Cure for Acne

I am doing a research on how hidrotheraphy can help you prevent and treat acne.

Here are just a few simples tips that you can easly achive. I am sure you will see some results after one week.

First main rule
1 - Drink a lot of water
This is a very effective and easy way to suffer from acne. Drink a lot of water. I would suggest at least three litres a day. I know that can be hard in the begining specially if you rather drink other liquids when you are thristy but force yourself to drink only fresh and pure mineral water. It really purifies your body.

2- Take a shower with ice cold water
Perhaps this is a little painful but don’t wash yourself with warm water, always use cold water. You should only use warm water when you are doing a cleaning skin process. The vapor opens your skin pores to be easy to remove blackheads and whiteheads that later can develop to pimples, but you should always end the cleaning in the end with a cold water shower on the skin in order to close your pores again.


3- Vapor treatments

Put on a bowl large enough to cover your face very hot water with some camomile herbs inside. Cover your face with a towel and let the vapor cover all your skin. Camomile it does help cure your pimples.

Cosmetic Tips: How To Hide Acne?

Acne is not just painful but also makes one look very dull. This is the reason why one’s self image takes a dive during the outbreak of acne. And if you have an important wedding or a party round the corner nothing can be more frustrating than not being able to look one’s best.There was a time the women thought acne was a problem that teenagers had to come to terms with. It is no longer the case because now we all know anyone can suffer from an acne outbreak irrespective of age and sex. The statistics available now reveal that as much as 20% women suffer from acne on and off for their entire lives. And in some cases the first outbreak of acne occurred when the lady was in her 30s or 40s.However, if the bad news is that acne can hit you at any stage of your life, the good news is that it can be hidden by proper make up.The first thing is exfoliation. Proper exfoliation ensures that the effect of the make up is highlighted and also prevents further acne breakouts. So, wash your face with a gentle cleanser. Now, put a warm mask on with alpha hydroxy in order to ensure that the exfoliation is proper and effective.Use a moisturizer that inhibits oil so that you could wear the make up all day long without looking shiny in the face. It would not only keep unwanted shine away but would also give you the classy matte appearance. In case the redness caused by acne is too pronounced, an oil-free concealer would be of great help.Now, choosing the right foundation could be difficult because there are several different kinds of them available in the market. All you have to do is avoid those that are too heavy or have too much of oil content because such kind may worsen your acne problem. Oil based foundations are the best ones for you. Select one that matches your skin.Before applying make up make sure that you wash your hands properly to avoid infection. When the day ends do not forget to remove the make up and wash your face thoroughly. Moisten some cotton with astringent and run across your face so as to remove the remnants of make up. The residue of make up can clog the pores, cause irritation and may result in an acne outbreak.If you take care of these few things, your acne would not come in the way of your looking your best.
