Even though Harry Potter’s magic wand could not cure
acne breakout he and co-stars Rupert Grint, (Ron Weasley) and Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), are experiencing, their special effects man could. According to a leak posted by Thomas Crosbie Media, producers for Harry Potter and
Goblet of Fire had to “employ a special effects man to go through every frame clearing up their complexions."If you can’t afford a camera magician to clear up your acne, rest assured that using
five steps below can magically transform your fantasies of clear skin into a reality.
Step One: Reduce excess oil secretion:
Vitamin A helps reduce
secretion of oil by
oil glands. Foods that supply
body with Vitamin A and beta-carotene (which is converted to vitamin A by
body) include: Liver, oily fish, whole eggs, carrots, sweet potatoes, and broccoli.
Step Two: Encourage extreme shedding of
skin:
Using a peel is
easiest method to promote shedding of
skin. Exfoliation releases
build-up of dead skin cells, oils and bacteria trapped in
pores, which could lead to
formation of blemishes.
Extreme peels Peels come in varying degrees, from mild to harsh. The trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peel is an extreme peel that can cost from $100 to $1000 depending on
degree of
treatment. It is only performed in a doctor’s office. The TCA is not a save all however. The peel can make
skin sensitive to
sun cause hyper-pigmentation.
Home use peels Several over-the-counter peels contain papaya enzymes or glycolic acid. These peels lightly exfoliate
skin and are safe for weekly use.
