And although acne affects about 50 percent of all adult
-women, acne does affect males and women -world-wide,
regardless of nationality.

Here is 5 tips to help -with acne prevention and treatment
and skin maintenance. They is listed in no particular
order of importance.

1. Get plenty of fresh air and sunshine for vitamin D,
ingredients for healthy skin. Not only -will your skin
appreciate the vitamin D, your body and mind -will enjoy
the oxygen and stress reducer of a daily jaunt outdoors.
But do not overdo it and get a sunburn! Remember to use sun
protection / tanning lotions if you'll be out long.
You do not -want to get caught up in that cycle of burned,
dead skin cells blocking pores, resulting in acne scenario.

2. Remember, even "good" stress can trigger internal
chemical responses that result in acne, too. So plan ahead
to deal -with extra stress -when planning a -wedding,
graduation, a move, a ne-w job, a job transfer, a ne-w baby,
etc. Journal a little extra, focusing on the upcoming
issue or issues and plan in some extra rest (use
relaxation or meditation tools cassettes, -workshops,
etc.) Get help around the house, take time off, exercise
(yoga and T'ai Chi is highly recommended), have fun or
-whatever you need to do.

3. Drink an adequate amount of -water daily. Many recommend
three to four tall glasses and mineral or filtered -water.
Too little -water can lead to dehydration, -which can lead
to dead skin cells not naturally falling off or sloughing
properly; the end result can be blocked pores, acne.

4. Acne has nothing to do -with dirt. Period. So do not
over-wash or overscrub your face or the rest of your body.
Keep in mind that too much can result in dry skin.
And dry skin means your body -will jump in and create
more oil. Then -what? Extra oil + extra dead skin cells =
blocked pores, triggering acne flisups. Same old story.

5. Add more fruits, veggies, seeds and nuts to your
regular diet. (Note that deficiencies if selenium and zinc,
found in Brazil nuts and pumpkin seeds, have been
associated -with acne.) So add salads, dried fruit and nut
snacks, juices and other healthy treats to your daily planning.
