Healthy habits for your face to maintain an acne and blemish free skin



Hello guys,
     In this post, I will show you the procedure I use for my acne free face. If you have terrible acne breakout like I once did, you can try out these simple methods. It worked for me, so I believe it will work for you also.

To treat pimples, you have to first identity the cause. Alot of factors could have contributed to your pimple breakout. So first identify the cause so that you can handle it to prevent it's reoccurrence.

The possible causes of acne are:

(1) Excessive oil on the skin
This could be as a result of;
           • Eating too much fatty foods. To reduce oil on the skin try reducing the fatty content of your diet.
           •Use a mild facial cleanser to reduce the oil on the skin (use once daily, 3-4 times a week) use more frequently if treating pimples.
            •Apply steam to the face once or twice daily. This unclog pores and reduces oil.

(2) Clogged pores:
      Pores clog when dead cells accumulate on the skin and interact with the oil. This may plug the pores and cause swelling (pimples) and redness.
To unclog pores:
     •Exfoliate: Exfoliate at least once a week to free your face from dead cells with a facial scrub or try out other natural exfoliating remedy.
     •To reduce oil, try the methods in (1) above.

(3) Dirt on the face: Dirt on the face can multiply bacterial activity on the face which will eventually cause pimples. To reduce dirt on your face;

            Do not
      •Sleep on a dirty pillow. Change pillow covers frequently.
      •Use dirty hands on your face.
      •Share makeup products such as brushes, especially ones used on the face.
       •Sleep with makeup, ever (especially powder or foundation).
       •Apply heavy make up on the face frequently. It prevents the skin from respiring.
        •Use substandard makeup products on your skin especially foundation.

              Do
       •Wash your face at least 4 times daily.
       •Wipe off your makeup after the day's activity.
        •Exfoilate at least once a week.
         • Drink plenty of water. It keeps the skin moisturized.

Breaking pimples:
Do not break pimples with your hand. Try out other acne treatment methods instead.

What's Past

Image
A step in front leaves it all behind When back, it stays with you With it, all prospects are blind They never get to come true A day with it is like a night with no stars Where, you don't get to see what's ahead Even while looking up and forward But only beholding the darkness around you It is a companion, one so troublesome Who doesn't wait out the storm But comes with the storm And you may never move away, even when it comes Yes,What's past is gone and for good But you've got a mind to rule Either you stay mourn its departure Then someday scream mea culpa!mea culpa!! Or look ahead, preparing for the future. Written by Daniel Etim Model: Nimi Ngiangia

MISSING SCHOOL GIRL

Image
I cry, I cry but who does hear these tears? the wind, oh the wind I look up in despair. This unending nightmare is more than I can bear. But all I do is stare, but my heart makes a wish. I look but I see not I listen for that holy call the part where I yell freedom at last and goodbye to my hurting past. Could my day have grown past? Could my night have long last? If it be the light of dawn that I may perceive again. With fading hopes and visions my dreams they fizzle out. With only little provision this might just be my last. I cry in the face of destiny I stare in the face of hope. Now left in teary lingers how much more can I cope. A virgin yet a mother a maiden yet a widow. My voice; it screams for help My heart; it burns in tears. Oh! how they cut my skin My flesh is now for dogs. Oh! how they eat me daily just like a bowl of pods. I cry, I cry but who does hear these tears? The wind; they mock me daily the bird; they sing my doom. The days; th...

SCARS Part 1

Image
Last night, we had been too tired and too excited with our wedding, we had gone straight to bed once it was bedtime; my arms around her possessively. Several times during the long night I had felt her eyes on me; they would flutter shut when I opened mine. At least that’s what I thought. I would watch her for a while, her breathing soft and slow like the gentle stirring of the sea; the wind of her breath caressing my face. Once or twice; okay, fine, more times than I can count, I had leaned in to kiss her small lips that seemed to pout as she slept.     Excuse you! She’s my wife now. “Good morning, Bill” I heard her voice, my eyes fluttered open in response. I had been awake already. I just hadn’t known what to do; I had decided to wait till she woke me up. “Good morning, Sweetness.” I said, Well, our eyes were fixed on each other’s. This was going to be my first time. I had a busy teenage and youth life, though spiced with a few girlfriends; it never really ...

She said she wanted just to say "hi" and after we talked for hours and more it became a problem to say "bye" He said he just wanted to see my smiles, but we would then hold hands and walk miles. She wanted just to talk and talk we did until it wasn't enough she wanted more. She said she does not like hugs so we shook hands but as time passed it was not enough any more. we just had to get more so we hugged for seconds and it grew from minutes into some thing that looked like a cuddle, but the affection was still not enough, so every once in a while we would give each other pecks on the chick and it was nice and all but we wanted more, so we kissed once and again and again.   It was cloudy and windy one lovely evening. Even a blind man could tell that the rain was coming, the power was out and she and I as though we were opposites of a magnet came closer and closer, she wanted to cuddle, so we cuddled and cuddled until our clothes left our bodies ...

Diary Series: Twerk your but

Image
I love to dance, a lot. And it’s going to be lit tonight. There’s a all-night dance contest somewhere in G.R.A at 9pm. The ticket’s quite expensive for a dance contest. I’m not sure, this is my first. To watch, you get a ticket for two thousand naira, while if you’re contesting you’ll get one for five thousand naira. Something about it being a valentine special. I’m still debating if I’ll just watch or get in the action. You know, the strike has just been called off, I can spend some. I’m still full, cash wise. Boyfriend wise, I lost my boyfriend yesterday evening. Why do people do that? Break up with you just before the big day? Not like valentine’s much of a big day for me, that is, if it wasn’t also my birthday. So you see, this dance is my treat. Have you noticed I sound like a loner? I am. I’m friendly, but I don’t keep friends. I’m semi popular too. Loners are popular people somehow, I don’t know why. I made a dance video last night after Mike broke up with me. You’re not ...

Picture Book

I'm flipping pages. Flipping and fliping and flipping. Then one stops me. It's recognition that hits me actually. What's her picture doing in his diary? I remember that dress, then that night... Recognition pokes me in the chest again. Her legs are spread wide. And her lips have that bright smile. 'Slit' I mutter under my breath, my heart burning underneath my skin. I scan the writings on the page I found the the picture. I scan and scan, and read past a lot of words until I get it. No! It gets me actually. This was what he wanted me to see? To read to him? To swear to keep? Guilt stabs at me. Guilt at thinking he would ever cheat on me. Even if he did, I well do deserve it, but he didn't even On death bed, he still wanted to help.  He has always wanted to help, all his life, all his sad little life. "What took you so long,  Beetle" He's asking as I sit with the diary in hand. He has that youthly smile. The one that got me that firs...
