It just so happens that Green tea has plenty of health benefits. It is packed full of powerful antioxidants called Catechins and Polyphenols.

This is known as Thermogenesis which is the process in which heat is produced in organisms, it contains caffeine which speeds up the process. Although by drinking the tea alone you will not just drop excess pounds, but this will increase the process when used with a balanced diet and exercise program.

7 Helpful Tips On Controlling Acne With Sensitive-Skin

May 1, 2010 - 4:06 am Comments Off

You have to be very vigilant and cautious when it comes to applying products on any sensitive skin as it is. However, people with sensitive skin and acne have a lot to take care of.

For me, as a woman with very sensitive skin, it s any cream or lotion with any hint of alcohol in it that does it for me. These kinds of products literally burn my skin to the point it is red to the core as the top layer of my skin has been burnt off (just as if it were burnt with fire!).

So this is the type of problem I have with sensitive skin, however I m fortunate in that I don t have acne to contend with at the same time. But for those of you who do, here is some helpful information I have come across whilst researching acne on sensitive skin (for my up and coming new facial skin care website).

#1 Avoid any acne product with benzoyl peroxide in it. This ingredient is known for effectively reducing acne, but unfortunately it s too harsh for people with acne on sensitive skin so please avoid this ingredient.

#2 Now I know this is easier said that done, but try not to get too stressed over your acne. Stress is a known factor to cause or irritate acne further (or in my case stress causes dermatitis).

#3 Carry out a cleanse which will not harm your acne. It s still important to get rid of any dead skin and to unblock any blocked pores. If you don t cleanse yet and are afraid what to put on your skin, ask your doctor or a dermatologist what is safe to use.

#4 Don’t forget to be healthy from the inside. Drink plenty of water (as this is always good for any skin type), try to aim for about 2 litres per day.

#5 Eat a healthy balanced diet. Breads, cereals, grains, fruits and vegetables are good to eat but avoid fatty foods, dairy and red meat products.

#6 At least 3 times a week, try and do some moderate exercise. Whilst exercise does not directly help your acne as such, exercise is known to release endorphins that give you the feel good factor . When you have this feel good factor, you obviously feel better about yourself and stronger as a person.

Remember in #2 above about stress? Well exercise helps alleviate stress and if you alleviate stress this can only help in it not aggrevating your acne to extreme measures.

#7 Research the market for an acne treatment product for sensitive skin. But remember, it s very important to test patch any new product that you want to apply on your face. If you have acne behind your ears, this would be a good place to do a test patch.

I have researched and found a great cream that is fantastic for people with acne on sensitive skin from a well respected and reliable wholesaler based in the UK.
