how to : dealing with acne/skin care

here are a few tips that will help you if you have acne or if you want to take good care of your skin:)

-breakouts
this is really important. don't sleep with your hair down if you can get breakouts easily. put it up loosely. ponytails in bed are pretty annoying, so put it in a loose side braid or in a loose side pony. you will see a lot of difference after doing that for a while, if you have forehead breakouts.

-face mask
put on a face mask every week to help your skin stay fresh and remove the dead skin.

-water
drink 8 cups of water a day, it helps clean your face. as I said in my recent tips, a cute water bottle will make you want to drink more water. you can also have water contests, I do this with my sister ; 1L of water (we have big water bottles) and who finishes last has to drink half a liter after that without going to the bathroom;)

-avoid touching your face
don't touch your face, your hands might be dirty and you will get more acne by touching it.

-DONT pop pimples
popping pimples might cause blood and it will make your face breakout a lot more, that's for sure. just don't touch your pimples, they'll heal better by themselves.

-wash your face
wash your face every single morning with water, since it's pretty disgusting from the night. you should also wash it before sleeping for better results.
