3 Mistakes You are Making When it Comes to getting Clear Skin

If you are anxiously waiting when your skin will decide to break out next, then something is going wrong.

Human skin should not automatically break out and you shouldn’t have to stick to a long skin routine to maintain clear skin.

I have had my fair share of experience playing this game for years and I’m here to tell you, you are probably making one of these 3 mistakes, causing you to repeatedly break out.

Why?

Because foods like this have a tendency to trigger inflammation for most people. I guarantee that when you start eating clean i.e cutting the carbs and sugars, your breakouts will drastically decrease.

These danger foods will not only make your skin more prone to acne, but make acne appear like apocalyptic comets, coming to destroy your skin. This means RED, PAINFUL, PUSS-FILLED zits. Ew, I know.

In the long run, it doesn’t get any better. If we combine a very inactive lifetsyle with a carb rich diet, our bodies start producing insulin constantly which causes excess sebum production on the skin. This makes you even more prone to breakout. See point no.3 for details.

Putting all kinds of shit on your face (pardon my spanish) will not do your skin any favours. This doesn’t just mean make up but any kind of special creams or harsh face washes. There is a place for washing your face properly but beyond that, further interference can overcomplicate things.

The most popular acne treatments give short term results meaning they will temporarily stop break outs but a few days of not using it takes you back to square one. Many will also notice that it seems to have an over-drying effect which is equivalent to going on those crash diets for weight loss; you might succeed but it makes it disrupts your body’s natural function. I’ve already talked about this in my other post in depth and what the ideal external treatment is.

I’m not saying that everything is bad and we should live in caves but doing too much to your skin has become a more common problem than not doing enough.

Trust your body’s ability to be healthy if you treat it correctly. Millions of years of evolution and you’d think it would know how to handle a small amount of bacteria on the skin without going crazy.

Movement is absolutely, incredibly, down-right essential. Not just some kinds of movement but all kinds that our bodies are adapted to. Everyone knows about the sitting epidemic and how dangerous it is. But going to the gym a few times a week to lift weights or do light cardio does not tick all the boxes.

What else should we be doing? Why is this not enough?

Anaerobic exercises are just as crucial as aerobic ones for general health and by default skin health. You are using more of your body in an intense way; it keeps our blood flowing more thoroughly and organs in check.

High energy, fast and strenuous cardio (jump rope or sprinting) for example, also uses more glycogen reserves.

When we consume more than we expend, our body uses insulin to convert the sugar (glucose) into glycogen. If this dietary trend continues and glycogen stores keep building up, the body has to release even more insulin to force the conversion. So using up the glycogen reserves through more intense exercise will rebalance insulin production.

When we have that hormonal balance, our sebaceous glands function normally in producing sebum, so less chance of breaking out.

I hope you have enjoyed my extremely untechnical (but accurate) method of preventing acne, forever!
