Reader Request: Pimple Alert!

It's been a minute since I posted a reader question on here, but this one I felt I should for some reason. Maybe, because I feel that this time of year the pimple posse can roll up on anybody's face!

I don't have bad skin at all, but  I occasionally get one or two here and there. Are there any products that can get rid of a pimple in virtually no time without having to put it on my whole face, if that's possible?~Natalia

Well, Natalia, one skincare product that I absolutely love are acne spot treatments. Since I don't have the best skin, breakouts tend to greet me more than every now and then. Just as easily as they appear, I want them to easily GO AWAY! Before I introduced myself to acne spot treatments, I just use to dab toothpaste overnight on the unwanted bastard and woke up to a much smaller version of it, which I learned about in the pilot episode of Moesha. Anyway, the older you get the tougher it gets to get rid of a pimple and that means toothpaste can't get it. Here are some acne spot treatments  that I have used and have great respect for and hopefully so will you!

Clinique Acne Solutions Spot Healing Gel($12.50): This is the first spot treatment I have ever tried and I guess that it holds a special place in my heart, because I always buy two of these at a time. Depending on the size, it can kill a zit in a night! The consistency of it very light and invisible, so it is easy to wear under make-up all day. Here is a note: Make sure that you skin is well moisturized when wearing it under make-up, because it will dry and flake up on dry skin even with hydrated make-up.

 

Mario Badescu Drying Lotion ($17): Mario Badescu makes some of the best skincare products with a loyal following by many celebs. One of my favorite products is their Drying Lotion. Its very smooth and calming to the skin and almost erases whitehead pimples overnight. Unfortunately, the this only works on pimples that have risen to the surface. However, if the pimple is under the skin, then Mario & Co. have another product for you:

 

 

Mario Badescu Drying Cream($10): This is to help dry up and heal under the surface pimples. However, I mostly use it to help heal pimples that have already popped and/or drying up my skin around it. That is never a good look! A good about this is that since it is VERY creamy it can also be used under make-up without being evident.

 

 

Boscia Willow Bark Breakout Treatment($22.50): This spot treament is just like the previous ones I mentioned, however, this one is much lighter and would be the ideal one if you have sensitive skin. I use this on the those little itsy bitsy bumps that rarely show up. Bonus, this smells lovely than the others. Also, to get the best overall look follow it with your favorite moisturizer; day and night!

I hope these help you Natalia!

Stay Stylish!
