8 Top Skin Secrets
1. Good exfoliation and hydration are the two keys to combatting oily skin.
People with oily skin sometimes think they don’t need hydration since they produce a lot of oil, but this is not the case. You should hydrate with a product that has hyaluronic acid in it and then use an oil-free moisturizer.
2. Birth Control
Birth control does help with hormonal acne since it helps regulate your hormones.
3. Diet
Make sure you are eating organic dairy and meat since the hormones that are sometimes added to these animal products may mess with your hormones and contribute to acne.
4. Add chlorophyll to your water
This is a skincare hack that I got from Reese Witherspoon.

5. Use probiotics
Make sure whatever you use is refrigerated when you buy it.
6. For puffy bags under your eyes, use green tea & ice-cold spoons.
Steep green tea bags in warm water and then apply to your eyes for 5 mins. The caffeine helps restrict the skin and fight the puffiness. While you are waiting, put 2 spoons in ice cold water. Once you remove the tea bags, apply eye cream and massage it into your undereye are using the two ice-cold spoons.
