DOS AND DONT OF FIGHTING BREAKOUTS

TIP 1: DO ICE THE PIMPLE

When you’re dealing with a red, inflamed pimple, head to your freezer instead of trying to pop it. Applying ice directly to the blemish will help to decrease inflammation, reducing the size and visibility of the spot. Wrap an ice cube in a thin cloth and set it on the offending spot for three to four minutes. Repeat throughout the day to relieve pain and temporarily reduce swelling. After apply some hydrocortisone cream to help reduce redness and swelling.

TIP 2: DON’T PICK

Picking tends to cause more harm than good. It can cause trauma to your skin, which in turn leads to inflammation, infection, and potentially a scar. Picking will not only will not get rid of spots fast, it will take them twice as long to disappear. Instead apply a generous amount of MIRACLE FACIAL to the pimple 2-3 times a day until gone.

TIP 3: DON’T OVER DRY

It’s not what you use; it’s the amount you use! More isn’t always better. It gets to the point that the active ingredient irritates the skin, making it scaly and flaky and red. To prevent irritation, give your skin a few days between using at-home peels.

TIP 4: DO CHANGE YOUR PILLOWCASE

We hate to add to laundry to your to-do list, but keeping your pillows clean is a top beauty secret. Pillowcases can hang onto dirt, oil, and bacteria from our faces, hair, and environment, and can become a breeding ground for acne. Swap out your pillow covering at least once a week to reduce the risk of breakouts.

TIP 5: DO SEEK OUT A SKIN EXPERT

If your breakouts escalate from a few bumps to persistent acne, then consider booking a one-to-one consult with a LICENSED SKIN EXPERT. Don’t follow the advice of bloggers who have no experience and are not trained in skin health and anatomy. The fastest route to clear skin is advice given from someone with years of training and Experience who can pin point the why and root cause of your breakouts so they can be eliminated entirely or in the case of hormonal acne make them more manageable.
