Living Healthy<br />
Five Ways to Minimize Acne Flare Ups<br />
Lisa Massimiano, Licensed<br />
Esthetician and Certified<br />
Acne Specialist<br />
Owner of Skin Smart Salon<br />
Using the right products in the<br />
correct regimen is the most effective<br />
way to clear acne. However,<br />
there are also life style modifications<br />
you can make to help support<br />
the process of getting clear<br />
skin. Here are some lifestyle tips<br />
I give to my acne clients.<br />
More sleep, less stress.<br />
Get enough rest and reduce<br />
your stress. Stress stimulates the<br />
adrenal gland which increases oil<br />
production in the skin.<br />
Be aware of foods high in<br />
iodides.<br />
Stay away from foods, vitamin<br />
supplements, sports drinks<br />
and bars that contain iodides.<br />
Iodized salt (use sea salt instead),<br />
sushi and fast foods fall into this<br />
category. On a positive note,<br />
chocolate does not aggravate<br />
acne. Neither do greasy foods<br />
(unless they contain salt).<br />
Stay away from “high<br />
androgen” foods.<br />
Peanuts, peanut oil, peanut<br />
butter, corn oil and shellfish contain<br />
hormones that exacerbate<br />
acne. Instead, use olive oil, eat<br />
almonds rather than peanuts and<br />
if you love peanut butter, try cashew<br />
or almond butter.<br />
No picking or squeezing!<br />
Don’t pick at your skin. You<br />
can scar yourself or cause the<br />
surrounding skin to become infected.<br />
Instead, rub an ice cube<br />
on inflamed pimples for 1 to<br />
2 minutes, twice a day. The ice<br />
reduces inflammation and helps<br />
pimples heal faster.<br />
Athletes-beware.<br />
Sweat and friction from helmets,<br />
face masks and physical<br />
exercise can cause major acne<br />
flare-ups on face, back and shoulders.<br />
Be sure to rinse off as soon<br />
as possible.<br />

New vaccines are made each<br />

reduce your risk of becoming<br />
infected with current versions<br />
of the influenza virus. Since<br />
protection fades over time<br />

I went to Skin Smart a little over a year ago as my last ditch effort to<br />
treat my acne. I had tried almost every acne treatment out there and<br />
was still struggling. When I went to Skin Smart my acne was at the<br />
worst it had ever been. I was a little reluctant that anything was going<br />
to help but within a few months I started seeing improvements.<br />
A year later and my skin has neverlooked so good! I am so grateful<br />
for Skin Smart and their products! – Jennifer<br />
