How I get rid of acne FAST!

When I was younger, in high school and college, I struggled with the typical annoying embarrassing breakouts. In fact, my first year of college, I even cut bangs to try to hide the acne on my forehead. Which didn’t help, I’m sure (hand over face). But luckily, I grew out of it and I’m happy to report that I rarely get zits that really truly hate me!

This post is about what I do when I DO get a zit though. I’m fortunate, I get it (though I definitely still struggle with skin issues!). I can’t complain about the occasional pimple and my heart hurts for those struggle hard core with this. I’m hopeful that the products I use and will be sharing about will help someone out there discover something new that may work for them too <3

OK so the most important thing(s) I do are my nightly and daily skin care routines. I do NOT miss an evening. I may change it up a bit here and there but there has not been even one night in the past several years that I have gone to bed without properly removing my makeup and hydrating my skin. It’s non-negotiable. I’m a little more lax about the daytime routine, there are days that I’ve missed doing it cuz KIDS, but I try hard not to. SO before I go any further, if you don’t yet have a basic skincare routine, that is the first place to start. Read all about my most favorite cleanser, toner and moisturizer HERE.
 

MASK

Moving on, I love a good Mask. If you follow me on instagram, you know this! This mask from Ole Henriksen is my favorite for oily acne-prone skin. This stuff ROCKS! I reach for this every time I’m feeling a bit shiny or when I’m feeling a zit coming on. It cleans, exfoliates, its soothing, it regulates oil production and drawing out excess sebum. It’s got bentonite and kaolin clays which are amazing at sucking out impurities and purifying the skin and increasing circulation for faster healing and less scaring. Lactic acid and salicylic acid for cleaning out the pores and sluffing away dead skin. I use it 1-2 times a week while my skin is struggling. Refreshing vibrant teal color and peppermint smell.

SPOT TREATMENT

I love the tea tree spot treatment in the form of this gel from The Body Shop. I’d used the oil version of this (also from The Body Shop) for like 15 years but when I saw that they made a gel, I was thrilled because the oil can get messy. The gel with the doe foot applicator is much preferred. Tea tree has anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties for treating and soothing breakouts, calming redness, swelling and inflammation and helping to reduce scarring. All good things, all good things! (Momma’s, name that movie!)
 

OVERNIGHT TREATMENT

Last product I swear by for acne is a big one. Well, it’s actually very little. But it makes a huge impact! I’m a big believer in keeping your breakouts hydrated. Like, BIG. Drying the skin out just means scabby zits and uneven makeup and scars (not thanks!). So I keep my pimples hydrated by using these zit patches from CosRx. Hydrocolloid patches create a moist environment with the body to promote healing. They absorb and suck out all the gunk thats inflaming the spot on your skin. The patch will turn from clear to white and thats when you either safely extract whats left and move on or replace it with a new patch! You NEED them!
 

A FEW MORE TIPS:

  • Don’t touch your face! It’s hard but just trust!
  • Wash your sheets/pillow cases weekly, if not more!
  • Wipe your phone down with an alcohol wipe!

These things seem like no- brainers but if you aren’t doing them regularly already, they will make a huge difference!

 

So there ya have it, my skin care essentials for dealing with breakouts! Besides my own, I’ve heard lots of positive reviews for each of these products and feel confident sharing them with you. Tell me your experiences with these products in the comments!
