HEALTH & FITNESS | YOUR BOD | SKIN

Bust big night breakouts before they start

 
What can squash your New Year's Eve plans faster than the sight of your crush dancing with another chica? A zit. You know the kind: They pop up out of the blue, after you've had miraculously clear skin for weeks. And of course, you've got a party to go to where you have to look smashing. And a zit is so not part of the plan!
 
Step #1: Don't touch it!
The more you touch the zit, the more you risk transferring more zit-enhancing bacteria to your face. And that's a major no-no. Try to keep your hands away from your face. And if you must examine the thing, head to the bathroom and wash up first.
 
Step #2: Don't pop it!
It's way harder to cover up broken skin than an unpopped zit, so do your best to fight the urge to make it go away...because honestly, popping it isn't gonna help your big night sitch. But if you must, do it only with clean hands and when you can see white pus at the tip of it. Use a tissue and the pads of your fingers (not your nails) or two cotton swabs to gently apply pressure. Squeeze until all the pus is out and you see a dot of blood. Then clean the area with a swipe of rubbing alcohol and leave it alone to heal.
 
Step #3: Treat it!
A spot treatment containing 2.5-percent benzoyl peroxide is your best friend. Keep a tube in your cosmetic bag for emergencies, and follow the directions on the tube as soon as a zit raises its ugly head. Other than that, keep your hands away from your face, avoid pore-clogging products and wash your face with a gentle cleanser once or twice a day.
 
Step #4: Cover it!
Hiding a zit is a delicate process. If you're dealing with a lot of redness, a green-tinted concealer will help cover up the irritation. Dab it on using your clean fingertip or a makeup sponge. Let it sit for a moment, then cover with your normal skin-colored foundation or concealer. Spend time getting it in every nook and cranny, then set with powder so it stays put. Voila!

MOD MOD MOD my skins always feeling oily and pimbles are JUST starting to grow!help!!!!




Hey girlie! I feel you - not a fun situation to be in. Just make sure you're taking good care of your skin. Avoid touching your face and wash it regularly to combat oiliness, preferably with some sort of face wash 3-4 times a week. Good luck!

My skin on my face is really dry. I tried this moistrizer and it worked but made my skin hurt. What should I do?

 

hey! I think you should stop using that product and maybe consult a dermatolagist if the problem persists. good luck!

MOD MOD MOD!!!!!! I have a bright red zit on my cheekbone, and everywhere else on my face is clear. It's been there for a few weeks, and I wash my face every day and put rubbing alcohol on it to dry it out, but it's still there and it's getting annoying. It's very noticeable and even makeup doesn't help!How do I get rid of it? Thanks a bunch!!!

So I came out of a deppression phase and cut a bad person out of my life, and now that I'm not always texting him and being sad I realized I have no hobbies! Its too cold to start running, and reading gets boring after awhile. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. (:

 

Hey girlie, think about sports and activities that maybe you've wanted to try in the past but never did. Maybe it's a new sport, a kind of dance or even sewing or pottery. For anything you want to try, there are people out there to teach you and help you learn.
