15/F
So, I've always had very soft, clear skin. But since this school year, I've been having problems. All throughout the winter I would always have at least one issue on my face. It was always between my eyebrows or somewhere near there. And my skin in general was feeling unhealthy. I went to Florida 2 weeks ago, and while I was there my skin thrived. I had color and was completely clear and soft. I came back home, and now I have a small patch of rough, pimple-prone skin in between my eyebrows. Some days it gets red and others it's less noticeable but it won't really go away. Now that I'm not getting as much sun, I feel like my skin is slowly getting worse again. I don't know what it is..in hot weather even my hair gets thicker and healthier. And my skin now isn't necessarily bad but I don't have acne, so I feel that it would be possible for me to achieve completely clear skin. Any suggestions at all? I just want it clear all over.
Also- what's a good way to prevent slight itchniness on my face in the morning?

However there are some things you can do to help. Skin and hair can feel healthier from (limited) sun exposure because the sun provides Vitamin E. Luckily for you, if you can't find the sun, you can find Vitamin E easily at any pharmacy. Its just like a regular Vitamin you take every day and it will help your skin and hair. Be careful not to get TOO much sun exposure once summer hits. Too much sun can have the opposite effect and dry out your hair and skin and give your skin that leathery look. Yuck! Plus you'll get wrinkles earlier, and you don't want that. Also, drink lots of water. Its the best way to keep your skin naturally moisturized and it will flush out all the toxins in your skin. Try to stay away from pop and syrupy treats as much as possible. Those also add to your pimple issue. And last, find a nice, light moisturizer. Oil of Olay or Clinique have nice products. Make sure it has a small amount of SPF to protect your face daily from harsh UV rays. But no more than 15 or 20 SPF. Any higher than that starts to get greasy and heavy. You just want something light to put on after you wash your face daily. Hope this helps! [ dearcandore's advice column | Ask dearcandore A Question ]
