1. Give up potato chips.
"All processed foods can cause inflammation in the body,
leading to conditions such as rosacea, arthritis, fibromyalgia, pancreatitis,
gall stones, fatty liver, yellowing or grayish whites of your eyes, and
cellulite," says Ciminelli, who gives clients a list of skin-healthy foods
after each appointment. "Fiber-rich foods are essential for clear skin:
Think apples, prunes and, my favorite underdog, seaweed — it's an
anti-inflammatory that fights redness and pimples." On the top of her list
of foods to cut out: Potato chips. "They have no goodness whatsoever."
2. Try reflexology.
In a perfect world, money and time concerns aside, Ciminelli
recommends getting a deep pore cleansing, hydrating facial and reflexology
treatment on a regular basis. "In my opinion, reflexology is essential for
a healthy body and good skin. The ancient foot treatment really helps improve
overall health and well-being while contributing to radiant skin on happy
relaxed faces."
3. Double-cleanse at night.
"Cleansing at night needs to be very thorough — I
use two different cleansers at night and only one in the morning. Using a
washcloth is important when you cleanse, as is washing with warm water and
rinsing with cool."
4. Change your pillowcase often.
"Your skin needs to be nourished and deeply hydrated during
the night when it's rubbing against a cotton pillowcase and your pillowcase
should be changed every couple of days to prevent breakouts."
5. Ditch tinted moisturizers.
"I'm against them," says Ciminelli. "I think the
skin absorbs the pigments, which is not good for your body. Your liver has enough
problems trying to neutralize the toxins you are breathing in and
ingesting."
6. Get rid of pimples with herbs.
To clear up a breakout quickly, Ciminelli recommends cleansing
your face thoroughly, then steaming your pores with water infused with rosemary,
thyme, and oregano. "After a few minutes, with impeccably clean hands,
wrap tissue around your index fingers and very gently press out the impurities.
Cleanse again and then use a good antiseptic toner or my Seawater." Don't stop there,
though: Drink a large glass of water with one tablespoon of Bragg's apple cider
vinegar infused into it (then rinse to protect tooth enamel) followed by a cup
of Smooth Move Tea by Traditional Medicine. "A blocked colon is one of the
major causes of breakouts," she says.
