Got headshots coming up? Or an on camera audition? Maybe a performance in a black box space where you are two feet away from the audience? You are ready for your show, (or whatever else you need to look fabulous for) you look in the mirror and there you have it. Dark bags under your eyes, and a big, fat pimple.
There are so many reasons for acne to show up. Many reasons are completely out of your control especially when it comes to hormones. However, I have seen many people sabotaging their beautiful healthy skin and they constantly say "No matter what I do I cannot seem to get rid of acne!" Some of these people spend hundreds of dollars on products they wouldn't need if they adopted healthy habits. I have been blessed with amazing skin but I also have been meticulous about taking care of it my entire life. For this blog I will give you some tips on how to get healthier looking skin and also promote some of the products that I adore. Bear in mind everyone is different. Some products will not work with your skin. If you have your own tried and true skin care products you would like to promote that works with your skin texture, please comment below and let the other readers know! Options are appreciated.
1. Sleep, sleep, sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!!!!
I know I have told you this before, but our society has got to stop thinking that sleep can be put off. Sleep affects your entire body, especially your skin. Have you ever been told "You look tired!" Yep. Probably because you put off sleep. Sleep releases valuable repair signals to your skin but only at a certain cycle of sleep. If you don't get at least 6 hours of sleep then odds are you will look tired and acne is bound to flair up. Even 6 hours is low. Go for 8 for a week and just see how your skin looks. I guarantee you'll see a difference. No skin product replaces sleep.

2. Eat better.
I know quite a few people who lighten it up on the dairy to clear up their acne. While this has never been an issue for me it has helped others. Avoid oily food, especially fried food. Drink plenty of water to plump up your skin with plenty of hydration. Have a problem giving up soda? Try La Croix. (Pronounced Cwa, not Croy because it's French.) It's just sparkling flavored water with zero sodium, zero sugars and artificial sweeteners, and all natural flavor. Love it and it makes me feel like I am giving myself a treat because it tastes so good.
3. Clean your face better!
4. Wear Sunscreen.

5. Moisturize your face with anti aging products.

Right now I am using Andalou's Anti Aging Night Cream. All natural and has not broke me out once. Lovely scents to choose from as well.
