GIANT ZIT? Bye Bye PIMPLE

We have all been there. You wake up in the morning and out of nowhere there is a giant pimple on your face that wasn't there when you went to bed.
DON'T STRESS!

_________________________________________

First Decide what kind of pimple you are dealing with:

*Obvious whitehead visible:
Try using a warm washcloth to soften the pimple for a few minutes. You should then be able to gently pop it with ONE TRY. Use 2 Q-tips so that you don't irritate your skin with your finger nails. If it won't pop on the first try - Leave it alone!
*Deep and Painful Pimple with No Whitehead visible:
Do Not try to pop your pimple!

*Oozing Broken Skin, usually after too much picking:
Stop picking at your skin!

REDUCE THE SWELLING

*ICE wrapped in a paper towel

*Visene Eye Drops

*Crushed Asprin

*Coconut Oil - Hydrate your skin. If your skin is too dry it will produce more oil and actually create acne. Coconut oil is known to have anti-bacterial & anti-inflammatory properties.

*Glycolic Acid is what I personally use.

*Benzoyl Peroxide

*Hydrocortisone Cream

*Bare Minerals Night Treatment

Glycolic Acid 15%

HOW TO HIDE YOUR PIMPLE while you are waiting for it to heal:
(These pictures were taken with my Iphone and No photo editing has been done other than cropping. I did my best to keep the lighting the same for each photo. Results are 100% makeup that I applied)

First use your choice of treatments to reduce swelling: I used Ice, Coconut Oil & Glycolic Acid.


Apply liquid foundation: I used Almay Smart Shade Anti-Aging Makeup


I then used Bare Minerals Night Treatment (Med)

I use sometimes use this as a spot treatment before I go to bed. It's also great to use during the day to cover and treat a blemish at the same time. It's perfect to create a shield over an oozing pimple when regular concealer will not work.
