acne problem

Often we feel we have no one to talk to about our spotted face. Because I don't have a smooth clear face, I keep noticing people with beautiful skin, smooth and spotless. How do they do it?

Well, of course we all know, everyone's skin types are different. Certainly, the combination and oily skin types are more prone to having acne. But there are natural and simple ways to acne treatment and minimising acne scars.

The 5 simple steps:

Step 1 - Eat a healthy breakfast every morning
Step 2 - Exercise regularly
Step 3 - Drink water
Step 4 - Do NOT pick at your face
Step 5 - Maintain inner peace and calm

While many of you at this time are thinking to yourselves, "I knew that!" or "I don't need you to tell me that!", How many of you out there actually practise all of these steps everyday?

Eating a healthy breakfast EVERY morning is not, believe or not, a healthy task. Particularly for those of you who have a busy lifestyle rushing to work or looking after other family members.

Exercising regularly is also not so simple to achieve. You must make time to take a power walk, job, swim. Your aim is to increase your heart rate and thus your metabolism. Increasing metabolism will allow skin to recover faster.

Drinking water does not include drinking JUNK. Soft drinks don't count! The sugar contents and other chemicals probably add to your acne. Water is the best medicine to help flush out the body's toxins, which can exacerbate acne conditions.

Step 4 is a big one. I bet most people are guilty of this (including me!). Don't pick at your face. Your acne will only get worse, NOT better by you touching it.

Finally, stress is a horrible part of modern life. But just make a point to take time out to relax. Take a minute to have a cup of tea and take some deep breaths. Your body will thank you for it.

Set yourself a challenge to follow these steps for 2 weeks and you will see a difference. You may need extra help, but by following these simple steps, you are off to a good start to having a clearer face and increasing your self confidence.

Drastic acne treatments and surgery to remove acne scars should only be considered in serious cases and you have already taken action (such as the above steps) to improve it.

Anytime I find a weight loss book that begins with the mental mindset I know that I am on to something. If you have not realized that your mental state is the first key to achieving your weight loss goals then you would do well to make the discovery that I did. It's a book by Dr. Becky Gillaspy entitled: "Lose Weight without Losing Your Love Affair with Food".

Dr. Gillaspy has thousands of publications over her years in working with clients to successfully complete their weight loss journey. Her journey includes the sad days where food was her only friend and when you need to lose 40 pounds or more, as she did, it can be a challenging place in life.

She sees dieters as one of two types: Strugglers - which she describes in her book as those who hold on to beliefs and thoughts that subconsciously prevent them from losing weight, and Achievers - those that have 'changed' who they are and enable themselves to rise above the problem. To be the latter you must act instead of react.

As Dr. Gillaspy puts it her book: "Your mindset will always shape your weight. It is always impacting your decisions whether you want it to or not, whether it is producing good results or bad. Each thought that you have, every belief that you allow to live in your mind will shape your future."

Her principles of change are extremely empowering. In the book she quotes Charles F. Haanel, Author of The Master Key System: "The only to keep from going backward is to keep going forward. Eternal vigilance is the price of success."

Regardless of your current physical condition, do you appreciate your body or hate your body. Dr. Gillaspy will highlight the distinctions and help you understand the power of that frame of reference.

She shares her own insights and leverages other well-known authors to help you understand the power of living your own authentic life - and the empowerment that mindset brings toward your weight loss journey.

You'll discover many principles and how to be an achiever instead of a struggler. As you absorb the material in her book, you will begin to realize the freedom that responsibility brings. The future is yours and you control your weight, shape and physical well being.

She wants you to change the behaviors that have led you to being overweight and she shows you how you can do that by changing your beliefs. And her book is filled with Action Steps that guide you along the way. Discover for yourself how to "Lose Weight without Losing Your Love Affair with Food".
