Emergency Tips For Last-Minute Zits

From the change in seasons to the change in schedules, form the hormonal imbalance to the imbalanced diet all those factors may play havoc with your skin and exasperate acne breakouts.

Here are some of my recommended quick fixes to make facial acne look non-existent (while waiting for the more sustained effects following your AcnEase treatment).

Emergency Tips for Last-Minute Zits

• If the pimple is just forming and you need it cleared in a day or two, increase the evening dose of AcnEase® to 6 tablets for one or two days.
• To speed up healing of sudden and existing blemishes, dip a Q-tip in Tea Tree Oil or in pharmaceutical grade hydrogen peroxide and dab it on the pimple(s) 3 times a day. Use sparsely and only on the pimple!
• Instead of the tea tree oil or hydrogen peroxide, you can dab a small amount of honey on each zit. Leave on the affected area until it dries, then wash with
  warm water. (NO RUBBING PLEASE)
• To cover pimples, use a small amount of green concealer on each pimple. Green counteracts the red color caused by inflammation. Then, add a concealer on top of that, that matches your skin tone. Apply sparingly with a Q-tip and blend in lightly with the ring finger. Use a "whipped" foundation that evens the texture of the skin.
• Under NO CONDITION squeeze or pop the pimple. This may actually increase inflammation and prolonged healing and damage done to the skin is long lasting

*PLEASE NOTE: Good quality, non-comedogenic concealers removed every night in a proper cleaning process will NOT cause excess sebum production and dirt to clog your pores.

To really treat acne naturally, efficiently and long term, you need to get to the root of the problem and treat it from the inside out (see more on how to do that). Yes, you can PREVENT new blemishes from coming, and don't have to worry anymore about doing these quick fixes!
