Water and Sunlight Helps to Clear Acne
by Rudy Silva
Drink More Water
The skin stores around 12% water. It is important
to maintain this amount with the correct amount of good fat to keep
your skin from getting acne. You need to drink around 2 quarts of
distilled water every day. If you are not drinking this amount, just
start increasing the amount that you do drink.
Drinking water helps you get rid of toxins in the
blood. By drinking water, you will urinate more and more toxins will
be eliminated. The cleaner your blood the healthier your skin will
be and your will not have a problem with acne.
Use glass containers when buying distilled or reverse
osmosis water. Try to avoid using plastic containers for water since
plastic containers contain chemicals, left in the container walls
during manufacturing, which leaches out into the water.
If you are drinking fresh juices, you will also be
getting water from these juices. Drinking sodas is not drinking water.
If you are eating fresh vegetables you're getting more water.
Here's a few things you do to help you drink more
water or to make the water healthier. Find a 16 or 32 oz glass container
and add distilled water. Then add one of the following nutrients:
- A few drops of Alkalife. This solution changes the
pH of the water from 7 to 8 and also activates the water with its
electrolytes -- sodium and potassium.
- Squeeze the juice of one lemon into the water. Do
not add sugar. A few drops of honey may be ok.
- Squeeze the juice of one lemon into the water and
add up to one teaspoon of powdered MSM. MSM is excellent for the skin
disorders such as acne. It makes the skin cells more flexible, allowing
more nutrients to go into and out of the cells, and its anti-inflammatory.
MSM is also excellent in activating peristaltic action and will prevent
constipation.
- Put 2 oz of mangosteen into the water. Mangosteen
is an over all body tonic. It works on all parts of the body and will
help keep you regular.
You can also choose to add your favorite nutritional
flavor to give water an additional value.
Chose one of these natural additives for your water
and drink this water little by little all day long. This is one more
thing you can do to get rid of acne, improve your skin texture or
to keep the nice skin you already have.
Get Some Sunshine
One more thing you can do for your skin is to get
more natural light.
Expose your face to plenty of sun and air. This helps
your skin to heal faster. But don't purposely place your face in the
sun, but remaining in the shade and open outdoors gives you plenty
of sun and air.
At least 20-40 minutes a day in the outdoors is necessary
for you to get sufficient vitamin D for you daily needs.
