Acne is officially a major bummer and it can deeply affect your confidence as well as ravaging your modelling career. Learning about the causes of acne can be the first step on the road to clearing your skin, so read carefully to establish which of the causes of acne is appropriate to you.
At the beginning of my modeling career I had bad patches of shocking skin and my agency sent me in tears to a top dermatologist. I have piles of tried and tested advice and a great sympathy for bad skin sufferers as I have been there too.
The good news is that it can be controlled and I went on to do major skin campaigns for Shu Uemura, RMK makeup and was featured in Cosmopolitan Magazine and others for skin features promoting so called 'Perfect Skin'. You can do it too…

CAUSE OF ACNE 1
HORMONES
When you have an excess of the male hormone'testosterone' in the blood, there is often trouble. In your teens, both young men and women have more testosterone than in later life. This annoyingly makes the sebaceous glands at the bottom of the hairs on your face, back or neck churn out too much oil, which then gets clogged in the pores. These hormones are one of the main causes of acne.

CAUSE OF ACNE 2
DIET
There is a widespread argument about whether poor diet causes acne, but in my opinion based on my own experiences of bad skin, diet definitely plays an important part. You can lessen the affects or highlight the misfortune of raging hormones by eating different types of foods. Greasy food and dairy based products don't do you any favours whereas fresh vegetables and drinking lots of water can only improve your bodies ability to fight toxins. If you are desperate to help your skin then use every method you can to help yourself.

STRESS
When you are in meltdown, due to exams, fall outs with parents or friends or your agent you may be hit by a bad skin wave. My last mega bad skin wave lasted the duration of the negotiation of a big modelling contract and lasted for two months, which was not cool. You must try to address the situation or at least distance yourself from it for you to calm down and for your skin to get back to normal - and it will, even though at times it seems that you will be stuck looking terrible forever.

BACTERIA
When I had my bad skin my mother would always nag at me not to touch my face with dirty hands or with used makeup sponges etc. Of course I didn't listen, I was more interested in covering up the redness pronto to save my embarrassment. However, of course she was right as bacteria is one of the most annoying and avoidable causes of acne. Train yourself not to touch your face in the day and chuck out all your old makeup. Limit the amount of products you put on your face to not over dry , and also don't squeeze, to avoid scarring. Instead of brushes, only use your own clean fingers (which by the way are as good as any makeup brush you can buy). If you are on a modelling job, take your own foundation and concealer and don't let the makeup artist mix your things with other models.

ive learned that consistency with skin products is the best way to go, which means washing and moisturizing your face every morning and night. and invest in some really good skin care products, maybe from a spa or something.
