Coping With Skincare Emergencies On The Big Day
It’s your big day! You’re getting married; you’re graduating; you’re proposing; you’ve got that big interview; you’re speaking up in front of a crowd… And you’ve got a big fat zit right in the middle of your forehead. Well killing yourself is not the answer… So what is?
How To Zap the Zit
There are numerous products on the market these days that all claim to take care of acne, sudden breakouts, pimples and blemishes of all kinds. Some work, some don’t, some work for certain people. Same day solutions are few and far between, but discovering a pimple the day before the big event is more manageable. The top three products for tackling acne on an emergency and ongoing basis are; Expose, Clear Skin Max and ClearPores; they received five stars, four stars and three stars out of five… Consecutively. A good concealer can frequently hide a problem zit for one day if you can’t make it go away. Some foundations however can worsen acne so beware.
What Not To Do
I would tell you that stressing about it is only going to make it worse but that would stress you out. And picking at it can cause it to bleed, become infected or spread. Don’t scrub like crazy either with hot water, because that will irritate your skin. If you do catch it the day before the big day, at bedtime dab some zinc oxide ointment on the problem spot before you go to bed. No zinc oxide? A dab of toothpaste, not gel, can help as well; so can lemon juice, egg whites left to dry on the area before being washed off with warm water, vinegar, fresh juice from a tomato, and alcohol.
Taking care of your skin from the inside out is always the best policy when it comes to acne and other skin conditions. Eating the right foods and fatty acids can help in the long run.
