Wash Your Zits Away -
“Switch cleansers - your daily routine may be sabotaging your face! If your skin is breaking out, wash three nights a week with a cleanser that has salicylic acid. [It unclogs pores] Then use a more gentle wash during the rest of the week to prevent irritation.
Don’t wash in the A.M. - Finally, an excuse to hit snooze! Cleansing too often sends oils glands into overdrive. Your skin will still be clean from the night before, so skip washing in the morning and just splash your face with cold water before moisturizing.
Moisturize twice a day - acne cleanser dry out zits, but they also dry out the rest of your skin. Keep your face hydrated by applying a lotion when you get up and before you go to bed. You’ll stay moisturized and shine-free!”
The Right Way to Pop! -
“If you’re going to pop a zit, make sure you do it in a way that won’t leave a scar! Wash hands and use the sides of you fingers not your nails!] to gently stretch the skin around the zit. Then rock your fingers back and forth till it pops.”
Pick an A+ Treatments -
“Prevent big breakouts - say goodbye to oil buildup by swiping a clarifying pad over your face three times a week. Pick one with L-carnitine [it prevents the production of oil in your pores] and witch hazel which is a natural de-greaser.
Gently zap your zits - don’t let pimples leave their mask. Treat you blemish with a vitamin A spot treatment to speed up skin renewal. You won’t scar and your zit will stay gone!
Get rid of blackheads - de-gunk pores and they’ll be less noticeable. Apply a sulfuric clay mask once a week to absorb excess oil. The clay has amazing powers that suck out dirt and leave your T-Zones less shiny!”
Cover Zits Like a Pro -
“Dab on concealer - cover a pimple with a light touch so you don’t draw more attention to it! Use a makeup brush to tap on concealer until the bump is covered. Then soften the edges by blending with a clean finger.
Even out your whole face - next, apply a lightweight BB cream to the rest of your face. Pick one with a color correcting properties. Apply with a clean makeup sponge so the cream blends in with your skin tone.’
Set with powder - make sure your pimple - free look lasts all day! With a finger, tap powder over the zit. The cornstarch in the powder prevents the oil in your skin from melting the makeup underneath!”
Get Smooth Skin from Head to Toe -
“No More Zits!
DIY - Apple Cider Vinegar - skin produces sebum and it gets trapped in your pores. To get out the gunk, apply the vinegar to a cotton ball and use it as a spot treatment. It exfoliates your skin, so your pores don’t get clogged. Plus it dries up existing pimples.
Bye Bye Dark Spots!
DIY - Almond Scrub - golden to deep skin tones overreact when aggravated like with a pimple, leaving behind dark spots. To fade them, combine equal parts yogurt and almond powder [both are lighteners], scrub the mixture on for 5 minutes, and then leave it on for 10 minutes.
Bring on the Glow !
DIY - Honey Mask - skip the bronzer, a yogurt and honey mask amps up your glow! The acid in the yogurt makes your skin soft, and the honey hydrates for dewiness! Mix equal parts, pat on, and wash off after 5 minutes.
Makes Stretch Marks Vanish!
DIY - Dry Brush - stretch marks come from growth spurts and they show up more on darker skin. Swipe a dry brush over skin for a few minutes - it brings blood to the area, which softens marks and makes them less visible. “
