5 Good Habits for Great Skin

Getting and maintaining clear skin is easier than you think. These healthy habits will help you banish breakouts.

Both over-washing and under-washing can spell trouble for your skin. So, what’s the magic number?
Two; that’s it. For most skin types, washing your face just twice a day will do the trick. Those with oily skin should stick to oil-free products like CLEAN & CLEAR^® FOAMING Face Wash.

Eat right.

Eating the right food can help your skin tremendously. Keep the consumption of milk and other dairy products to a minimum, since these may contain hormones that trigger oil production. Refined carbs like white bread, pasta, and chips can also make spots worse by fuelling inflammation. Prevent breakouts by adding more whole grains, beans, and veggies to your diet.

Clean up after a workout.

Exercise is great! Not just for your body, but for your skin, too. Exercise improves blood circulation and helps bring toxins to the surface. Just don’t forget to shower and wash your face after a good workout, so germs and dead skin cells don’t clog your pores.

Get your beauty sleep.

Sleeping for at least seven hours a day gives your body enough time to repair and regenerate skin cells. This helps your skin look young and fresh. It might not be much of an issue now, but your skin will definitely thank you in the future!

Don’t skip the sunscreen.

The sun’s UV rays dry out your skin, so your body reacts by producing more oil. And you know what more oil means! So do yourself a huge favour and never leave the house without sunscreen. Just make sure it’s oil-free!

Dr Laennec's stethoscope bears little semblance to the modern stethoscope. Unlike those used today, Dr Laennec's stethoscope was not a set of ear pieces connected by a plastic tube to a chest piece. His stethoscopes were simple cylinders made from wood and metal. The doctor using it would simply place it directly over the area in question and listen at the other end. 2. His first stethoscope was a rolled up piece of paper Described in his 1819 treatise on this device, Dr Laennec invented the stethoscope while treating a young woman suffering from symptoms of heart disease. 3. The stethoscope was not his only contribution to medical science I...

This week, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy joined private and public sector leaders for a second annual White House roundtable discussion about the progress made and new steps taken to curb emissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), potent greenhouse gases used in refrigeration and air conditioning. Administrator McCarthy announced several new actions the agency will take to help support a smooth transition to climate-friendly alternatives to HFCs. "EPA is working closely with industry leaders to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, transition to climate-friendly refrigerants, and deploy advanced refrigeration technologies,” said EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy. “The powerful combination of EPA’s regulatory actions and innovations emerging from the private sector have put our country on track to significantly cut HFC use and deliver on the goals of the President’s Climate Action Plan.” Among the actions announced today, EPA proposed a rule that would improve t...
