Clear Skin Tips

I find myself sweating 365. In the gym, in the woods, fishing, hiking, hunting, etc- my face and body is covered in dirt and/or sweat. I haven't always had great skin, but over the past 4 years, I have really cleared my skin up immensely!

I will note- this post is not relevant if you are on performance enhancing drugs as those will cause terrible acne on your face and body- just wanted to put that out there. 

Below, please find the steps that I took to clear my skin

Step 1: DRINK WATER. Your body is almost 70% water. It's not 70% gatorade or diet coke. It's 70% water. Drink at least a gallon a day

Step 2: eliminate or limit dairy- this is a huge one for a lot of people! You may have a slight dairy intolerance and not even realize it. Quit dairy for 2 weeks and test if your skin clears up

Step 3: high quality multi vitamin- your skin is your largest organ and you should treat it as such. It will reflect what you feed it (or don't feed it). Implementing a high quality multi vitamin is VITAL for an overall clear skin complexion. This is what I have used since 2014: MULTI

Step 4: wash your face at the gym- cardio or not, you should never leave the gym without washing your face with at least soap and water. I bring my cleanser and moisturizer to the gym and wash my face after every sweat session

Step 5: clear skin cocktail- this has been a huge one for me in the last few months. I have noticed a drastic change in my skin. Here's the recipe:
20oz room temp water (can add ice once mixed)
2 scoops COLLAGEN
1 scoop GREENS
1 scoop cherry BCAAs

Step 6: CTMM (cleanse, toner, miracle water, moisturizer)- every single evening (if you are super dry, you should moisturize in the morning as well)

Step 7: weekly masks- I do 1-2 mud masks a week for a deeper clean and then moisturize with the above moisturizer at night

Step 8: jade roller- I saw a lot of bloggers using it and I decided to order one and I love it! I will do the roller a few times at night per week before I put my moisturizer on

In the morning:

Every single morning, I roll my face with my ice roller for several minutes

1-2 times per week, I will do a coffee mask after I ice roll
