Beauty Tips For Body Care
I'm a 19 year old male and up until 6 months ago I've never took care of my skin. I'd constantly pick at spots and scabs and make them bleed, I'd squeeze anything that looks squeezable, just all around did pretty much anything possible to worsen my skin. I met a high school friend for the first time in about 3 months and I'd noticed that his face was super clean. The last time I saw him he had sort of moderate acne but It's not something I've ever thought about until I saw him without it. Kind of made me jealous but also curious of what I could do with my skin, so I started taking care of it.I started doing things inconsistently because in the past I've tried a moisturiser, or a face wash, wasn't impressed with the results and stopped doing it. My first things I started doing where washing my face each day - or when I remembered - and I began to use honey as a mask. I saw a little improvement over a month so I went all in and started changing things in every aspect of my life. All these things below I've done consistently for around 4/5 months and I feel they've all contributed to huge improvement with my skin!I washed my face twice a day, with water, when I wake up and before I go to bed. Also about 5 times a week I use a face wash and a face scrub in the shower, and always moisturise afterwards.I wash my hands so much more than I used to. Every time I head upstairs in my house or downstairs, I wash my hands. I wash my hands between lessons in college too.I started reducing the amount of milk and sugar I drink. I no longer drink sugary/milky coffee/tea, and instead drink them both black. Read alot about dairy causing breakouts and such so I reduced my main intake of dairy. Also, I drink a shit ton of water. Like, 3-4 litres plus every single day.I stopped having fast food. I have never been a big fast food eater, maybe once a week at the absolute most and that's usually when I'm with friends - I feel the need to get something to eat with them. Well, I stopped. In 6 months I've had half a pot of KFC popcorn and a chicken breast. That's is, I go out of the way whenever eating with friends to get something organic, or to get fruit or something that is healthy.I've stopped touching, scratching and picking at my face. I don't even touch my face really unless I've just washed my hands. I also don't wipe or rub my face with a towel or anything anymore either. I just dab, or hold the towel onto my skin.I started exercising a lot more. I do around 4-6 hours of moderately intensive exercise a week. I've included this because I honestly just feel cleaner and fresher when I exercise more.6 months or so ago, my neck was riddled with spots, I had super dry flaky skin on my nose, my cheeks were incredibly red, riddled with blackheads and whiteheads and cysts. Similarly just under my mouth, my temples and above my eyebrows. Now I can count two smaller cyst looking things which I pay very little attention to, and one whitehead which comes and goes from time to time on my jawline. I have little to no redness on my face anymore, it's not dry and it's not oily, I couldn't be happier :)
