Now last month I had a photo shoot at the L.A. county fair and the night before I started to pick at my face!
I’ll tell you my 2 Holy Grail products for breakouts for you in a bit let me just set the scene for you first.
This is the photo shoot I’m talking about …
Now I honestly thought that I was making it better. Extract a couple black heads here, maybe a couple white heads there and I would be golden for my shoot. Well it turns out I had made it worse, way worse. The primary location of explosion was my forehead. My poor poor forehead. It became inflamed and a bunch of bumps all over my forehead. I was in full glam and when in the sun you could see every single bump.
Well for the next couple of weeks I used two products to help me recover my forehead. I wanted my old forehead back LOL!
Here we are in October and my forehead is back looking better than ever!!! Keep in mind that I used these products in addition to my normal cleansing, toning, and moisturizing routine.
1st Holy Grail Product
The chemicals in tea tree oil may kill bacteria and fungus. It can be applied to the skin for infections or as a local antiseptic for cuts, abrasions, insect bites, etc etc. I got that straight from Web Md for you, you can checkout the full page HERE!
Whenever I get an unwanted breakout I dip a q-tip in tea tree oil and dab it onto the intruder. I’m sorry I am being so dramatic but they are indeed intruders! Anyways, I lightly dab wherever I have intruders and I make sure to not double dip once you make contact with your skin. I do this before I go to bed and pray that when I wake up it looks significantly better.
It’s important to not go crazy with the Tea Tree oil because it can dry up your skin if you use way too much. I have noticed dramatic results when I use this on my intruders and it does help them become smaller. On some it can make it go completely away if I catch it at the right time, others the size just decreases! So I put this on almost every single night for the last couple of weeks!
2nd Holy Grail Product
Neosporin is a first aid ointment and helps nourish skin to minimize scars after healing. Did you read that, minimize scarring?? So after I applied the Tea Tree oil I would also put this on top. It would help with the drying out of the skin, flakiness, and reduce scarring.
I can happily say that my forehead is in complete recovery from all the intruders and I feel so much better. I have almost little to no scarring, there are no tiny bumps, and no new intruders are in sight. I loved using this combo and will continue this process any time I have any major breakouts. I would like to add that before doing my makeup I would apply a cold compress as well to help with minimizing the bumps.
Be patient with your intruders, some may go away more quickly than others and you just have to be patient!
As usual, thanks for stopping by and I hope this post was useful for you!
