5 Healthy Habits for Clear Skin

Keeping Your Face Feeling Fresh and Under Control

Aug 26, 2018

Bad skin is something that no one wants to deal with. It can create discomfort, insecurities, and inconvenience at any age. We don't realize the daily habits we have that affect our cleanliness. Those habits may be causing the issues we have triggering acne and keeping it longer than wanted. It isn't always easy figuring out a new routine so hopefully these five steps can ease into the daily lives of you or someone you know!

Wash One to Two Times Daily

It is incredibly important to make sure that your face stays clean to ensure being clear. Making sure to always wash at night is great, and if your skin does not dry out easily, in the morning as well. Over washing can cause drying out so be cautious of the soaps you use. It helps to understand the type of skin you have prior to finding a great washing routine.

Do NOT Touch Your Face

We all have dirty hands no matter what anyone says. It is super easy to pick up bacteria so why touch your face with your dirty hands. A major cause of acne is by touching things to our faces that contain an immense amount of germs and bacteria. From your phone being up to your cheek or resting your chin in your palms on a desk, it can be a hard habit to break but super worth it. If you are going to touch your face make sure your fingers and hands are clean.

Drink Lots of Water

Never underestimate how good water can be for you in many ways. After all water hydrates the cells that essentially, make your skin. The more hydrated, the cleaner, the better your skin will look. Healthier skin cells can prevent quick aging and heal damages quicker.

Don't Sleep in Your Makeup

Probably being one of the most common causes for acne in women is passing up a quick rinse and sleeping in our makeup. It is easier just passing out at the end of the day, but we pay for it the next few days with a couple of zits popping up to our surprise. Makeup can contain many chemicals and bacteria especially depending on the brush and or tool you use to apply it. Clear skin is not the only thing you bargain when sleeping in your makeup. Eye health can be disturbed leaving chemicals and germs in such sensitive areas.

Make Sleep a Major Priority

Good sleep is important for everyone. When we are asleep, our bodies regenerate cells and perspire the toxins. Developing a good sleep pattern can improve hormonal functions, which will help keep acne at bay. While sleeping more aids in immune function, our bodies can fight off bad bacteria more than if we did not sleep so well.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
