How To get Rid Of Blemishes (Pimples)

[manictaz]

TIP 1: CLEAN!

Get Glowing! Wash your face with a gentle, oil- and fragrance-
Free cleanser; preferably a nondetergent one labeled pH balanced.
If you have oily skin all over your face, use a cleanser that
Contains benzoil peroxide or salicylic acid. Don't scrub -
Irritated skin (Evangeline Lilly) swells around the pores, which
Can cause breakouts. Skip toner unless your face is very oily,
Otherwise it might dry out the skin.


TIP 2: TREAT!
Apply a topical acne treatment containing benzoyl peroxide,
Glycolic acid, or salicylic acid over your entire face, not just
Where blemishes have already erupted. At night, use a drying spot-
Treatment product and dab oil-free moisturizer on dry areas. In
The morning, apply an oil-free sunscreen gel over the entire face.


TIP 3: CONCEAL!
Use a small makeup brush to dab concealer or cream foundation
Evangeline Lilly (in the exact same shade as your skin) directly
Onto the blemish. Use a fingertip to wipe away excess concealer
Around the blemish and, if necessary, apply another coat of
Concealer. If the makeup becomes cakey, carefully wipe it off and
Start over. Gently brush powder (in the exact same shade as your
Skin) on top of the concealer.
