Winter Skin Care: Help For A Breakout!

Help for Breakout!

Almost all of us have been there - right before a special event your skin breaks out with a blemish that feels like it’s the size of Mt. Hood! Most breakout is hormonal in nature, but here are a few tips that will help get that blemish under control quickly:

1. Cleanse your skin with a good cleanser appropriate for your skin type twice daily.

2. Apply a masque designed for breakout-prone skin, wait 10-20 minutes, then remove gently with tepid water and a washcloth. I highly recommend that you keep Charisma Skin’s Camphor Pore-Minimizing Masque on hand for emergency breakouts! You may even apply the Camphor Masque to a blemish and leave it on overnight and most blemishes are reduced significantly in size the next morning. Follow with a toner and a blemish treatment like our Spot Fix.

3. Resist the temptation to squeeze that blemish! Squeezing blemishes can spread the germs, causing more breakout, and may even cause scarring, as well.

4. Keep using your blemish treatment (like our Spot Fix) twice daily, and you may use the masque 2-3 times/week on the breakout only for most skin types. Oily skin may use the Camphor Pore-Minimizing Masque once or twice a week all over the skin (except eye area).

5. If at all possible, see your esthetician for a quick Express facial with a focus for targeting the breakout area. Your skincare professional can perform a High Frequency treatment that will help heal your blemishes much more rapidly!
