What Is Glutathione?
• Glutathione is produced naturally in the body via the synthesis of certain amino acids. It is produced in the liver and is used to neutralize certain toxins through its antioxidant effects. Glutathione is important in the immune system. Glutathione protects the eyes, skin, kidneys, liver and many other organs from the oxidizing effects of metabolism. Vitamins C and E are crucial in the natural production of glutathione in the body.
Antioxidant Properties
• Glutathione is a natural antioxidant. In its natural form in the body, one of its main purposes is to remove toxins produced by the body. In soap, the natural antioxidant properties of the synthesized version are said to be good for the skin.
Anti-aging Properties
• The antioxidant properties are said to help maintain healthy, youthful skin by slowing the death of cells and helping to maintain the health and vitality of skin cells. Part of how glutathione helps as an antiaging treatment is by lightening the surface of the skin.
Skin Whitening
• One of the primary uses for glutathione soap is to whiten skin. Glutathione works by inhibiting the skin's production of melanin, resulting in a natural lightening of the skin. Glutathione soap is often used to treat hyperpigmentation, freckles, melasma, uneven skin tone, age spots and other uneven skin tones or many other dark spots on skin.
Side Effects of Glutathione Soap
• Glutathione soap is generally considered safe. It is, however, critical to buy soaps from known, reputable companies and producers. In rare cases, counterfeit glutathione soaps have been found in Asia to contain harmful chemicals and bleaches that have caused permanent skin damage in users. This damage was a result of the other artificial bleaching ingredients, not as a result of glutathione. Glutathione is a natural ingredient without known side effects, other than its skin whitening effect, when used as a component of soap.

The Myth
Eating fatty foods is bad for your skin

The Truth
This is true of saturated fats, but not all fats. Too much saturated fat, commonly found in many processed foods and junk food, can lead to an increase in sebum production, and therefore acne. Unsaturated fats, like those in olive oil and the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish, walnuts, and avocados, are good for the skin and help it to absorb vital nutrients like vitamins A, D, E, and K.

How to treat Acne
A pimple starts when the pores in the skin become clogged with a type of oil called sebum, which normally lubricates the skin and hair. Acne is common during puberty hen hormones go into overdrive, causing the skin to overproduce sebum. Because many oil-producing glands are on the forehead, nose, and chin, this area — the T-zone — is where a person is most prone to pimples.
Here are some tips to help prevent breakouts and clear them up as fast as possible:
• Wash your face twice a day (no more) with warm water and a mild soap made for people with acne. Gently massage your face with circular motions. Don't scrub. Over washing and scrubbing can cause skin to become irritated. After cleansing, apply Lotion containing benzoil peroxide. This will decrease oil and bacteria.
• Don't pop pimple It's tempting, but here's why you shouldn't: Popping pimples can push infected material further into the skin, leading to more swelling and redness, and even scarring. If you notice a pimple coming before a big event, like the prom, a dermatologist can often treat it for you with less risk of scarring or infection.
• Avoid touching your face with your fingers or leaning your face on objects that collect sebum and skin residue like your phone. Touching your face can spread the bacteria that cause pores to become inflamed and irritated. To keep bacteria at bay, wash your hands before applying anything to your face, such as treatment creams or makeup.
• If you wear glasses or sunglasses, make sure you clean them frequently to keep oil from clogging the pores around your eyes and nose.
• If you get acne on your body, try not to wear tight clothes. They don't allow skin to breathe and may cause irritation. Scarves, headbands, and caps can collect dirt and oil, too.
• Remove your makeup before you go to sleep. When buying makeup, make sure you choose brands that say "non-comedogenic" or "non-acnegenic" on the label. Throw away old makeup that smells or looks different from when you first bought it.
• Keep hair clean and out of your face to prevent additional dirt and oil from clogging your pores.
• Protect your skin from the sun. It may seem like a tan masks acne, but it's only temporary. A tan may worsen your acne, not improve it. Tanning also causes damage to skin that will eventually lead to wrinkles and increase your risk of skin cancer.
