Banishing Blemishes
They happen to the best of us. Most often when we least expect/really don’t need it/are at rock bottom emotionally and physically and could do without a boulder perched on our chins. Zits don’t stop popping up (excuse the dreadful pun) just because we’ve left adolescence behind. They continue to be visual reminders of when we’re working too hard, not eating well enough, under a large amount of stress, drinking too much or not treating our skin with the reverence it deserves.
There are a few ways of going about kicking a spot to the curb. You can zap it the moment it appears with a product that dries it out. You can treat the larger problem area, as opposed to just the little spot, to prevent the situation from worsening. You can do both simultaneously. You can maintain a regime that combines a zapper and a problem-area treatment with your usual routine until it seems like the coast is clear. You can eat well, drink plenty of water and get a decent amount of sleep. But we all know the latter is easier said than done.
So here are a few products that slot into each of the above possibilties, plus the fail safe method when nothing seems to be working – cover up.
