Learn rapid, simple, and scientifically proven steps for better looks and healthier skin.

There is a lot to know and a lot of misconceptions on the internet about what works and what does not work for your skin. 30-Day Skin Fix will help you separate fact from fiction, give you real results, and give the average consumer confidence to find the best skin care products on the market.

Introduction

Read Me First!
Have you been freaking out because your skin is looking terrible and you have just a month or less until you need to look your best? Maybe it’s your graduation, prom, or wedding? A reunion, birthday, or holiday? Maybe you have more than thirty days, maybe you don’t? Then this book is for you.
Your skin doesn’t hide unless you hide. There are simple and scientifically proven things that you can do that will improve most skin problems quickly, whether it is acne, eczema, rosacea, or other bad skin problems. I am a board-certified Dermatologist, practicing for over twenty years, and have helped thousands of people clear up their skin quickly. At your typical dermatology clinic visit, there is not enough time to go into all the tricks we know to improve your skin. In this book, I will present to you these tricks as very easy steps to quickly fix your bad skin. I will address common skin problems like rashes, eczema, acne, rosacea, and skin wounds and how to heal them faster than you ever imagined.
There is no guarantee that your skin will improve in thirty days if you follow these steps and you should not follow a step that contains anything to which you think you are allergic. A little secret among dermatologists: most of our treatments will take effect within thirty days, and can rescue your skin quickly. Many of them can be done at home without a prescription, but I will occasionally name options that are from the doctor’s office or prescription pad that can be done as well. This book is intentionally short, and is not a text book. I do not want you to get frustrated or bored trying to fix your skin. I do get into details about some skin problems where I know it will clear up a common question or confusion. My hope is that you pick up some valuable knowledge so you can take better command of your skin, and feel less like you are at the mercy of your skin. You do not need to have a skin problem right now to benefit from reading this book. There are plenty of everyday tips to help you maintain beautiful, healthy skin all your life.
Do not wait any longer. It is time to read how to fix your skin in thirty days or less!
Chapter 1

You Must Cleanse


C:\Users\ViralWebbs\Pictures\5.jpg
I know that your mother already told you to wash your face every day. She probably even said that not washing your face enough is why you have acne or bad skin. That is not entirely true, as acne is more complicated than just bad hygiene and involves skin cell turnover, sebaceous gland activity, hormones, heredity, diet, and more. Nevertheless, gentle cleansing of the skin is crucial to having healthy, good skin, whether acne or not. Dermatologists figured out in the last couple decades how best to wash your face, how many times a day, and with what. Keep reading and you will find out.
It is scientifically proven that in order to have healthy skin washing the face should be done gently with mild cleansers twice a day with fingertips or hands, not harsh soaps or detergents.
When we do not cleanse in this way oil, grime, residue, and dead skin cells may accumulate on our skin causing dermatitis and/or acne. People with bad cleansing habits or poor hygiene tend to have more acne, dermatitis, and skin infections. People who over-cleanse their skin also may suffer from more dermatitis and skin infections. This is because harsh cleansing can inflame the skin. It can make it more vulnerable to infection and even, clog pores.
The skin rash I see the most in clinic is triggered or worsened from under-cleansing your face. This common rash is dandruff of the face (seborrheic dermatitis). Second, after dandruff, would be yeast acne. These are both oily skin problems that can be better controlled with regular cleansing. A rash that I see from over-cleansing the face is eczema or worsened acne. Gently cleansing twice a day with a mild cleanser as I described above is the safest way to accomplish proper face cleansing.
You do not need microdermabrasion, spinning brushes, or other fancy cleansing systems, which may even cause inflammation and more skin problems in some people. Gritty sandy cleansers are also not necessary. One of the reasons I am not a fan of home microdermabrasion is that I have seen people spread infections on their skin and worsen rather than improve. Some cleansers contain exfoliants and mild acids like: salicylic, alpha-hydroxy, and glycolic. These exfoliating cleansers are helpful for certain types of skin problems such as acne and oily skin. I prefer these exfoliating cleansers or even home chemical peels to home microdermabrasion because they will give similar results but without the risk of spreading infection. Just keep in mind, anything that exfoliates the skin will make you more susceptible to sun damage and sunburn.
