| Problem Skin |
| It's a rite of passage
no teenager wants to endure. The minute your hormones kick in
for sex drive and your body starts to take its adult shape,
something goes haywire with skin.
Almost 80% of teenagers, as well as a significant
number of adults, suffer from acne. The blemishes and pimples
typical of acne are triggered by the male androgen hormone,
testosterone. That's why some women find relief in starting
the contraceptive pill; to regulate hormones as well as prevent
pregnancy!
Some simple remedies include washing the
face with glycerine
soap and rinsing.

| BANISH BLACKHEADS |
| You shouldn't squeeze them
as you can damage the delicate nerve endings, but if you absolutely
have to, at least steam your face to open up the pores. If you're
using a blackhead remover, place the tiny hole over the offending
spot and press gently until the blockage is released. Exfoliating
weekly is a great way to remove the build up of dirt and oil
that lead to blackheads. |
| DARK CIRCLES |
| First up, get enough sleep.
And secondly, don't sleep too much. You'd be surprised how your
sleep patterns can contribute to nasty dark circles that make
you look like a vampire. Top supermodels swear by a dab of hemorrhoid
cream under the eye to reduce blackness. Allergy
sufferers should also control reactions, as sneezing and sniffling
can contribute to dark circles under the eyes. |
| DRY SKIN |
| Jojoba oil is great for
dry skin. On a clean face, smooth on a few drops and splash
with cold water. Moisture is essential for keeping the skin
smooth and supple. Invest in a brand that caters for "dry
skin". Night creams can also be great for restoring water
and nutrients into dehydrated skin. |
| OILY SKIN |
| The oily T-Zone across the
forehead, nose and chin is a common skin complaint. In order
to treat it, you'll need to clean daily to slough off the dead
cells, excess oil and grime from the daily grind. And remember
to top it all off with translucent
powder. |
| WRINKLES |
| We can't stop the ageing
process, but we can do our best to keep our skin elastic. Always
moisturize, keep pores clean by cleansing and exfoliating and
stay out of the sun. |
