Skin blemish and skin imperfections can be unsightly, frustrating and quite tricky to get rid of. Not most of us are blessed with good genes along with a flawless, radiating complexion but it is good to know that we can do something about it and there are measures to be taken, as well as trusted products to use, in order for us to achieve the beautiful, clear skin we have always wanted.

I believe that the foundation to getting a clear complexion is keeping the skin clean and washing it with a gentle and mild cleanser every single day. We may have lots of skin-related issues to deal with everyday but, at least, washing the face on a regular basis can get almost a third of the job done.

Proactiv Renewing Cleanser in a nutshell

products, skin care, skin problems, Proactiv Solution, mum finds

The Proactiv Renewing Cleanser is an oil-free, soap free medicated formula that contains advanced micro crystal benzoyl peroxide in combination with mild cleanser that lightly washes the skin. It has tiny beads that gently exfoliate dead cells and impurities so they can’t clog pores. The benzoyl peroxide penetrates the pores fast while being gentle to the skin. It attacks, kill acne-causing bacteria, and reduce the number of acne pimples.

The Key Ingredients

Benzoyl Peroxide is the key anti bacterial agent to fight acne. The 2.5% concentration is just effective as 10% solutions in controlling the majority of acne cases and much gentler to your skin. This low concentration gives it the acne-fighting benefit of even higher concentrations, but not the side-effects!

Other Ingredients Include:

  • Sodium Hyaluronate ~ This mucopolysaccharides act as humectant to draw moisture to skin. Mucopolysaccharides are gel like substances surrounding the collagen and elastin in the dermis layer of the skin.
  • Polyethylene ~ These small round beads have no sharp edges that can tear and scratch the skin while they gently remove old, dead cells.
  • Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract ~ A botanical extract known for its soothing properties.

Here Are The Easy Steps In Using Proactiv Renewing Cleanser?

  • Use morning and night
  • Apply a small (dime-sized) amount to damp skin and gently massage for 1 to 2 minutes
  • Rinse thoroughly with warm water
  • Pat dry
  • If bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to once a day or every other day
  • If going outside use a sunscreen

Why You’d Prefer to Use Proactiv Renewing Cleanser Instead of Regular Cleanser or Soap?

Who does not recognize Nicole Scherzinger? With Filipino, Hawaiian, and Russian descent, her international appeal needs no translation. Her charisma knows no bounds. Raised in a modest household by her mom and German-American stepfather, her humble upbringing didn’t deter her from pursuing her burning ambition to become a singer. Although her raise to stardom wasn’t always smooth and easy, she exploded into the pop scene as the lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls before embarking on a solo career as a recording artist, selling a total of 60 million records. She also won Season 10 of Dancing with the Stars, was a judge at the UK and US editions of The X Factor, and has a number of film experiences under her belt.

Her Proactiv Story

Even when she is blessed with a radiant, glowing skin, Nicole still makes sure to maintain it that way. “I feel like in my line of work, I’m always under the microscope. It’s quite traumatic when you have an acne breakout and blemishes because you wake up and you’re hoping that your face is clear,” she shares. And lucky for Nicole, she found a reliable beauty ally that allows her to emphasize her personal philosophy that sexiness starts from having clear, blemish-free skin. “I found Proactiv through a friend in my band. She had really bad breakouts and blemishes that really scarred her skin. She discovered Proactiv, and it’s just amazing how she’s just blossomed,” Nicole says. In no time, she grew to be a Proactiv lover. “They say that the eyes are the windows to our souls, right? But when you have an acne breakout, nobody’s looking at your eyes. They’re looking at your appearance. But when you get clear, they can see you for who you really are,” Nicole says. “With Proactiv, I’m empowered now. I can hold my head up higher. I can smile bigger. And I can put the energy on other people.”

The Christmas season may very well be the most stressful season of all. With the flurry of holiday-related activities, not to mention the crowd milling about everywhere you may be, and the horrendous traffic everywhere, it was so much easier to feel the stress, the pressure, and the toil it takes on a person’s over all well-being.

We are now fully aware of how stress relates to those annoying breakouts, and ultimately, to acne. The increased levels of stress stimulate our body’s production of various hormones as well as triggers different changes in the skin. On occasions, it causes the skin oils to be more viscous making one more prone to acne. In the same manner, stress also reduces the body’s natural immune defense as well the skin’s ability to fight off bacteria build-up, which causes more breakouts.

Ironically, the holiday season is also the time you have to look your best, what with all the parties and gatherings you have to attend, and imagine all the photo ops that come with those! You have to stay looking fresh in everyone of those photos, right, and you do not want to end up being the most-harassed looking gal in your family photo neither you want to end up being the oldest-looking classmate in your latest group picture with your high school friends and classmates. That is why it is a must that you stay stress-free and acne-free this merriest season of all.

Now, it might be a tad difficult maintaining that fresh glow and that picture-perfect complexion if you are trying to finish your holiday shopping while struggling to get to work on time and attend every Christmas party invite that comes your way. But here are a few tips you might want to consider to stay stress-free and acne-free this holiday season:

  • Drink lots of water ~ not only will it aid in easy digestion but drinking plenty of water each day will also help keep the skin well-hydrated as you go about the gazillion of tasks you have to finish this holiday.
  • Eat healthy ~ eat up those greens and make sure your diet includes a generous amount of vegetables, proteins and whole grains to make you feel and look your optimal best. Some studies also show connections between a younger looking skin and a diet with good amount of Vitamin C.
  • Use sunscreen ~ if you will be exposed to the sun for a considerable number of hours, it is ideal to us sunscreen with at least SPF 15 to protect your skin from harmful rays that promotes skin ageing.
  • Moisturize often ~ the cold weather can be a little harsh on the skin so make sure to moisturize as much as you can to keep it soft, supple, and fresh-looking
  • Manage your stress ~ take time to manage your stress before it becomes worse and lead to unsightly outbreak or acne. Cut back on some items on your to-do list to get the break and the rest that you need and if you can get ample amount of sleep each day. Your skin will thank you for it, plus am sure you will enjoy the extra time spend with your bed and pillows.
  • Use Proactiv Solution Combination Therapy to prevent acne ~ use the Proactiv Combination Therapy System to prevent future breakouts. This 3-Step System works together to cleanse the skin, fight the blemishes, help stop new one from forming, and gently heal damaged skin.
