Acne Do's and Don'ts
Acne affects people of all ages and skin types and can occur on the face, neck, chest, shoulders and upper back. Though acne is not curable, it is highly manageable and controllable. There's no better time than today to start managing breakouts and blemishes.
Acne Do's
DO develop a daily skincare regimen with products that include:
a) Exfoliants and pore cleansers (Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Retinol) to deep clean and slough off pore-clogging dead skin cells,
b)Anti-inflammatories (Licorice Extract, Allantoin) to diminish irritation and redness,
c) Vitamin C to help diminish post-acne marks
DO use a full spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen to prevent hyperpigmentation and to preserve skin elasticity.
DO use dietary supplements for internal skincare. Supplements offer protection from the inside and can help minimize breakouts.
DO frequently change pillowcases and towels.
DO replace makeup sponges and sterilize makeup brushes to help prevent bacteria from flourishing.
DO seek professional help—regular facials by a qualified beauty therapist help keep pores clean.
Acne Don'ts
DON’T stray from your skincare routine. Daily use of Murad’s high-performance solutions will help reduce the symptoms of acne. But even when the symptoms are diminished, you must keep using the products to prevent future occurrences. Consistency is essential to managing and controlling acne.
DON’T use greasy cosmetics. Oily makeup can cause clogged pores.
DON’T pick. No matter how tempting, squeezing blemishes can prolong infection and can also cause permanent scarring.
DON’T use drying products. Harsh astringents and cleansers can actually worsen acne. Dehydrated, acne-prone skin ‘compensates’ by producing even
more oil.
DON’T scrub too hard. Treating acne-inflamed skin too roughly or with scalding hot water may help spread infection.
DON’T ignore it. The little time it takes to care for your skin each day can make all the difference in the way you look and feel.

How To Add The Blogger “Read More” Expandable Posts Link
With this hack, you can choose to display a select amount of text from the beginning of each post as a teaser instead of showing the entire post on the front page of your blog. Then when people want to read the rest of the post, they can click a “read more” link to see the full post. This is very handy if you have lots of long articles all on one page. (Note that you’ll need to have post pages enabled in order to make this feature work.)
