Acne & make up
What to do, what not to do…
There is a popular myth that has always been associated with acne and, that is, acne in women is often “caused” due to excessive make up. In reality, however, this myth is not scientifically proven. However, what has been clinically proven is the fact that while wearing makeup on regular basis does not “cause” acne, it actually triggers or “aggravates” the already existing acne conditions.
How wearing make-up can trigger acne flare-ups?
There are a number of factors that can make acne flare up or lead to "breakouts", although triggers can vary from person to person and depend on a number of other factors such as age, gender, weather, hormones and stress related conditions.
The following two make-up related factors have been thought to be important in the “triggering” of acne attacks.
Cosmetics: Some specific cosmetics, oils, gels, cleansing lotions and facial masks are oil-based or oil-friendly. These make-up and hair care products can easily clog skin pores. Therefore, before buying any of such stuff, you should specifically look for the following terms on product labels: "oil-free", "non-comedogenic" or "non-acnegenic".
Over washing: Actions like cleaning or washing your skin more often, scrubbing/exfoliating, or using strong cleansers or astringent products can actually strip the skin and irritate it. This can lead to more severe acne.
Make up tips in acne
- If you wear make-up, you should ideally use dry powder or hypoallergenic, water-base make-up
- Using skin care products labeled “nonacnegenic,” “noncomedogenic,” “oil free,” or “will not clog pores” can help.
- If you tend to have oily hair or dandruff you might benefit from an anti-dandruff shampoo.
- Also avoid unauthentic face creams or oils and oil-based hair tonics.
- Wash your face twice daily (yes, just twice and not more) with mild soap and water. Don’t be too rough while washing and avoid astringents and abrasives as they can cause skin irritation and in general do not help improve acne.
- Prefer to use a clean wash cloth and towel every time you wash your face to prevent acne flare-ups. You should also clean makeup brushes, applicators and sponges after every use to avoid pimples. Bacteria build up on these materials and may contribute to acne flare-ups.
- Avoid unnecessary exposure to sunlight. Wear a sunscreen under your makeup or select moisturizers or foundations with an SPF protection level of at least 15.
Using a natural, herbal-based safe complete “acne care” system like “Clear Skin Max” can help you get rid of the acne flare ups due to its combined mode of action. The 6-component system not only clears your clogged pores in a safe natural way but also naturally “empowers your skin” internally so that it will not only prevent itself against any future acne attacks and will also help you wear make up in usual way on daily basis.
That’s how, using the right make up products and a complete acne-care system such as Clear Skin Max can be your best tool to prevent your face and the body against those notorious acne flare ups.

Fighting Aging with HGH
It would be an unnecessary task to undertake a poll to ascertain the percentage of people wishing to remain youthful forever. Why would be useless? Because the answer is an obvious 100%. Everyone wishes to look their best at all times and what better age to freeze at than youth? Of course there are ways to preserve our youthful look. Looks however can be very deceiving. Being youthful does not stop at looking young, it includes vitality of the body and an over all well being from within! Although there are many ways to achieve the perfect look (such as Botox, plastic surgery etc.) there are however, limited options to maintain the body.
If you are those who are looking at an all in one solution to retard and even reverse the signs of ageing, Human Growth Hormones are the answer! To explain briefly, Human Growth Hormones are protein based poly-peptide hormones which stimulate growth, cell reproduction and regeneration. These are secreted by the anterior pituitary gland where these are also stored and synthesised. These hormones help to enhance functions of other hormones in our body.
To clearly understand the influence of HGH against ageing, it is essential to define ageing itself. Wrinkled skin, osteoporosis, arthritis, high cholesterol levels etc are some of the indications that our body has aged. Although all of these things may happen as we advance in age but these are actually results of changes which are occurring inside our body. To say that a person has wrinkled skin just because they are 40 years old is wrong. Actually there are several products like creams and lotions which can help to delay wrinkles. Also, available are cosmetic surgery options or injections of medicines to fight the results of ageing. Not to forget, there are many people whose skin looks just as wonderful till about 60 years and who refuse to age with years. What then is the difference between the two cases at hand?
The difference may lie in the level of secretion of HGH in each persons body. The level of Human Growth Hormones begins to decline after the age of 35 years and in some cases even earlier. This decline leads to decreased stimulation in the body to produce helpful hormones and proteins. Therefore, ageing and its internal reasons (which eventually show up themselves as patchy skin, bone problems etc) to a certain extent can be countered by balancing the level of HGH in our body.
A healthy level of HGH in the body will have wonderful results such as:
- Increasing calcium retention, strengthening and increasing the mineralization of bone
- Increase in muscle mass through sarcomere hyperplasia
- Promotes lipolysis
- Increases protein synthesis
- Stimulates growth of all internal organs except the brain
- Reduces liver uptake of glucose
- Plays role in fuel homeostasis
- Promotes gluconeogenesis in the liver
- Contributes to the maintenance and function of pancreatic islets and
- Stimulates the immune system
- Maintenance of skin tone and texture
A careful study of these benefits will reveal that these are actually countering all visible signs of aging. It can thus, safely be said that a balanced level of HGH in the body will be beneficial to not just retard but also reverse the signs and effects of aging. This it does not be delaying the onset like many short term solutions, but by actually restoring lost hormones in our body which are in fact responsible for aging itself!
HGH may be restored in the body through adequate sleep, strength training and even reducing stress in our lives. However, when such measures are not possible or proving helpful a HGH supplement may prove to be a good choice.
HGHAdvanced Youthful. Energetic. Vibrant.
