zits and pimples, a girls worst nightmare, well it’s more frustrating and annoying. but here are tips that you can try for yourself to help the zit go away faster and calm down the redness..

*KEEP YOUR SKIN MOISTURIZED- when your skin is too dry your androgen hormone is likely to go crazy producing tons of sebum. it will lead to clogged pores.

*EXFOLIATE TO STOP A ZIT BEFORE IT STARTS- exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells before they have the chance to clog your pores. also do not rub your face until it’s completely red and irritated, just scrub over your face gently once. little is more.

*STOP STRESSING- try to remind yourself not to freak out about things that can cause you to stress. your hormones will rise which leads to oil production, which can lead to clogged pores.

*USE SUN PROTECTION- use something that is about 15 spf or higher, but have to be meant for the face. preferably a non-oily formula. the sun dries out your skin and your oil glands act up. then you become a big oil face and the zits that you already have gets bigger and are tempted to pop them.

*TAKE 2 ASPIRINS- dissolve a couple of aspirins in a teaspoon of water and apply directly to the zit or pimple. aspirin is an anti-inflammatory, which brings down the swelling. (do not use if you are allergic)

*USE A ON THE SPOT ACNE TREATMENT- to dry up a zit use benzoyl peroxide 2.5% or salicylic acid 0.9%. do not use anything stronger than 2.5%.

*USE AN ACNE FIGHTING MASK- a clay mask will suck up the oil that prevents the rise of zit or a medicated mask with the ingredients to subside your zits and prevent acne to come up.

*SHRINK A PIMPLE WITH AN ICE PACK- put the ice in a washcloth and do it for 10 minutes to keep the swelling down.

*USE EYEDROPS TO MAKE THE REDNESS LOOK LESS NOTICEABLE IN AN INSTANT

(remember never to pick your pimple or pop it, or it will cause some scarring)

-good luck
