Blemish busters

I have a lot of blemishes and a little discoloration in the creases at the corner of my nostrils. What can I do to clear that up?

 

We all deal with blemishes, but luckily there’s something you can do about them. Using facial cleansers with benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid are great for clearing up unwanted pimples, and these products can easily be found at most drugstores.  The benzoyl peroxide fights bacteria, and the salicylic acid eliminates excess oil on your skin. Together, they’re a blemish-fighting duo!

 

To get rid of the discoloration, you can make your own face mask right at home.  Just mix 1 cup of orange peels in a blender with 1 cup of milk until it turns into a paste, and slather onto the discolored areas.  Let it dry for 30 minutes, then rinse it off.  You can also rub fresh lemon juice on those spots and leave it on for about 15 minutes each day.  The discoloration could be from sun damage or acne scars, but using these tips should help it go away.

 

Good luck, chica!
