"Are you tired of dealing with that pesky acne? My name is Keeley Selvage of "Keeley's Skin Solutions" and I'm going to tell you how to treat acne. Acne is very tricky. What you want to do is think about first what you have been doing internally that is going to help to treat your acne because a lot of times what's on the inside is coming out on the outside. So I'm going to give you some tips on how to take care of it in both ways. First of all drink plenty of water, at least eight to ten glasses of water a day. That's going to help you to flush out toxins and also improve the redness and the elasticity of your skin. Also make sure that you are watching your refined sugars, fried foods, and maybe even yeasty products and that means things like breads, dairy and that kind of thing, maybe even go on a cleanse and that's going to help you to treat your acne as well. What I'm going to do now is who you how to treat the surface of the skin for acne. What you want to do is twice a week do a good deep purification an exfoliation of the skin that is going to help pull out the dirt and impurities from the pores and it is also going to help to refine the skin. So now my model has fresh clean skin. You want to wash and rinse twice every morning and every night. I'm going to put a warm compress on her face, put that on there for me and hold it on there for three to five minutes as long as you can as long as the wash cloth stays warm that is going to help to soften the tissue and also help to open the pores so that you can pull out all of those dirt and impurities and nastiness. So now keep holding that on there and I'm going to take a purifying mask and apply it to her skin. O'kay relax and you want to apply it in an upward motion that way the pores are really getting all that mask in there. Any clay based mask is going to be a purifying one. Clays naturally pull out dirt and impurities from the skin. This is great if you can do it in a steamy shower. That way your skin is really absorbing it and then let that sit on for five to ten minutes. Once you are done for that five to ten minutes, take a warm wash cloth and gently wipe it away. That is going to keep your skin purified and also remember to cleanse from the inside as well. My name is Keeley with "Keeley's Skin Solutions" and that is how you treat acne."
