HOW TO GET RID OF YOUR PIMPLES

 
Even if your take good care of your skin, hormone fluctuations or stress can make your skin produce more oil, leading to clogged pores and a big breakout.

Apply a cold washcloth to the area and dab a little Visine on the pimple which will reduce the redness and swelling. Don't try hot compresses because they can make it larger and redder. If you must squeeze the blemish yourself, the try to be gentle and stop if nothing comes out after the first try. Squeezing your pimple too hard might push the pus deeper and create a boil and/or leave a scab, which can result in a scar.

And sometimes you need to just go to the doctor and have your blemishes removed by a pro.

That Post-Workout Glow

There are plenty of reasons to exercise. For some, it’s because you booked a beach vacation, while others are focused on staying healthy. No matter what your motivation is, we can all agree that there are obvious benefits to exercising. But by working out your skin will definitely look much healthier!

Here are some other healthy skin benefits to exercise:

Instant Glow : When your heart's pumpin' from aerobic exercise, you’re supplying your skin with a nice dose of oxygenated blood. It gives you that great post-workout glow.

Wrinkle Reduction : Working out also helps maintain healthy levels of the stress-related hormone cortisol. Too much cortisol can cause the collagen in the skin increase wrinkles and sagging. The boost in this protein helps to keep your skin firm, supple, and elastic.

Acne Relief : Regular exercise boosts circulation, nourishing your skin, bringing more blood flow and oxygen to it. This will help draw toxins out of the body.  Plus, all that sweating cleans out the pores of congested skin. Avoid exercising with makeup on your face though.

Healthier Hair : The improved blood flow helps keep your hair stronger and healthier. Your blood, full of nutrients, stimulates the hair follicles and promotes growth.
