Ten Commandments for Clear Skin




Who wants to look in the mirror and never see another blemish or zit again? I know what a dumb question right? We would all love to banish zits and blemishes for good but without a little help those zits will stay! Check out our 10 commandments to clear zit free skin.

Start from Within
Having a flawless complexion starts from the inside. All of us need to have our vitamins and minerals in balance to make sure your skin is clear and glowing as it should be. Isotonix OPC-3 BeautyBlend  is formulated to promote skin elasticity, support healthy collagen production, replenish essential vitamins and minerals for the skin, and provide the skin and body with improved antioxidant defenses.
Keep it Clean
Makeup might be there to hide the zits, but it also traps in free radicals that are bad for your skin says Zoe Draelos, a professor of dermatology at Duke University. She says that washing your face morning, night, and after you hit the gym with a cleanser that has Benzoyl Peroxide in it is the way to go. Timeless Prescription Renewing Acne Cleanser  contains powerful acne-fighting ingredients to clear acne blemishes and allow skin to heal.
Don’t Pop It
We all are guilty of doing it, and it is hard not to but try and resist popping your pimples. Popping pimples will only result in inflammation, scarring, and you guessed it, even more acne. Experts suggest, if you’re tempted to pop those pesky bumps, to keep your hands busy with a squeeze toy.
But When It Happens
OK, what’s done is done. Now disinfect the area with Skintelligence Hydra Derm Deep Cleansing Emulsion  and dot on a salicylic acid product such as Timeless Prescription Anti-Blemish Lotion . Timeless Prescription Anti-Blemish Lotion is an excellent overnight spot treatment for pimples; contains active ingredients, such as calamine and salicylic acid to calm irritated skin associated with acne.
Back to the Basics
There are certain ingredients that have proven themselves in clinical trials (benzoyl peroxide or glycolic or salicylic acid for acne)—use them. And give them a chance: They need at least six weeks to work. “If nothing has changed by week six, the product will never work for you,” says David Bank, a professor of dermatology at Columbia University/New York-Presbyterian Hospital. Then, it’s time to see a dermatologist—prescription products or in-office treatments may offer some relief.
Tone It Up
Toner is used to bring your skin back to a normal pH balance which is around 5.5. Your skin needs a certain amount of oil to stay waterproof and resistant to infection. Cellular Laboratories De-Aging Toner  is a key step in an effective skincare regimen; it follows the application of the cleanser to double-check that all traces of dirt and impurities have been removed, allowing skin to breathe and generate the proper collagen, elastin and moisture needed for healthy, radiant, youthful-looking skin.
Treat It Early
Spot-treating your pimple can reduce its lifespan by one to two days. But the real goal is a clear complexion—and early intervention is key. “You need to prevent acne from forming, and that means treating skin that’s prone to pimples even if there are none present,” says dermatologist Karyn Grossman. So use all acne products over your entire face
No Need To Over Treat
Overusing acne products can lead to excess drying and, in some cases, chemical burns. Apply the amount recommended on the packaging (usually enough for a thin layer), not a giant palmful. Finish with an oil-free moisturizer.
Just Relax
Easier said than done, we know. But stress hormones increase oil production, which can lead to clogged pores and whiteheads. So make an effort to relax when needed. “Anything that reduces stress in your body—tai chi, running, sex, a warm bath—will make you have less acne, less often,” says Richard Fried, a dermatologist and clinical psychologist in Yardley, Pennsylvania
Absolute Perfection
Just a drop of Skintelligence Skin Perfecting Complex  is all you need to hydrate your skin cells and promote smoother-looking skin. Skintelligence Skin Perfecting Complex also helps promote the normal repair of skin cells and enables them to retain moisture for longer periods, resulting in more youthful-looking skin.
