Recently, I've been experimenting and I've found a couple great ways to clear up your skin quick! Some are quicker, others take time.
I have a couple Aloe Vera plants that I use, but the gel that you can get from Target or Walgreens will work too. The gel from stores won't work as well because of all the other chemicals in it, so if you can get an Aloe Vera plant, that works best. For the plant, cut off a BOTTOM leaf, then cut it open, and either apply it to your problem areas straight from the leaf, or you can get some on your fingers. The plant doesn't smell the greatest, but it works wonders! Put this on before bed and (DO NOT WASH THIS OFF!! LEAVE IT ON, IT'LL SOAK INTO YOUR SKIN!) This will help reduce swelling, and decrease the redness. Unfortunately, I'm allergic to the plant, so I can't do this that often, but if you can, then go for it! You'll see a difference overnight and over time, your skin will clear significantly.
Using a whitening toothpaste (Crest 3D White, or Colgate Optic White) put a dab of this on a breakout, leave it on overnight, and it'll decrease the redness. This is not to be used every day, but if you need to get rid of a blemish overnight, it'll do the trick. This will dry it up and clear it up.
This is mostly common sense, but using different face washes will make a difference! Switch between 2 different brands or between cream and gel. This one will take time, but it'll clear your skin.
Exfoliating your skin every week will clear skin quick! Dead skin can clog pores and cause breakouts. And getting rid of that, will make an easier foundation application because there will be no dead skin for your foundation to catch on to.
Until next time,
xoxo
