What to do if you wake up with a pimple? π€
@annaytime π©Ή How to heal a breakout in 3 days β£β£ Previously when I got breakouts on my skin, I would pop it soon as there was something to pop. And over half the time, I couldn't get the right angle on it so my skin to get anything out so my skin would just be irritated. β£β£ Then, I would alternate between putting a dot of tretinoin and a strong spot treatment on the pimple, hoping that using the strongest products in my skincare arsenal would help heal the breakout faster. But it only ended up drying out my skin and compromising my barrier in that area where I had a breakout. β£β£ And due to my weakened barrier, it would take so long for the breakout to fully heal and the remaining dark spot to go away. It would become an unnecessarily long one or two week ordeal. β£β£ Now, since I use Salicylic Acid (2 mornings/wk) and Tretinoin (4-5 nights/wk) regularly in my routine to manage my acne and for the most part, I only break out when I eat dairy, which isn't too bad because I understand what triggers my skin and am able to anticipate it. β£β£ Using acne patches to manage active acne has been a gamechanger for me as well. Even if there are active ingredients in the patch, the hydrocolloid material creates a non-drying environment that doesn't compromise my barrier. And a healthy barrier is crucial to get your skin back to a balanced state. β£β£ How do you deal with a breakout? β£β£ #pimplepatch #acnepatch #breakouts #acnetreatment #acneremoval #acnetip #pimplepopper #pimplepatchremoval #pimplepatchpeel #pimplepatchresults #acnestickers #acnepatchremoval #healingacne #annaytime #peaceoutskincare β¬ Made You Look - Meghan Trainor
