Things that can ruin your skin...

We are all born with different types of skin. There are genetic factors that contribute to the condition of our skin. But 80% of what goes on with our skin in in our control. That is the good news!! The bad news is, many of us choose not to take that control.

There are so many things we can do to either make our skin better or worse. Today let's talk about a few things that can make it worse:

1. PICKING: Squeezing pimples and picking blemishes are not winning strategies for anyone. This is the Number 1 issue for brown skin. We pick at pimples, scratch them, mess with them and the result - hyperpigmentation (discoloration), which can last months to years and is very difficult to treat.

2.COMBO CREAMING: using 4 to 5 different creams from 5 different lines can actually dry out your skin. That can also cause your breakouts to be worse.

3. SMOKING: Aside from the damage smoking can cause to your lungs, it also reduces your skin's ability to produce collagen and destroys the skin's elasticity. This damage occurs with each and every cigarette.

If you are doing one or all of these, you are ruining your skin. But there is still hope! First we have to work together to stop these bad habits. I can also help you reverse the damage that has been done.

So tell me ladies, what other factors do you think can ruin your skin?

Stay tuned next week for more habits that can ruin your skin.
