Breakout - freak out!

Are you suffering from a dreaded breakout?

Resist the urge to pick, poke, prod and squeeze - instead take charge and rid your skin of breakouts fast.
While it might be tempting to plaster that pesky pimple with an aresenal of toothpaste, rubbing alcohol
and quite possibly expired zit cream try following these simple steps to stop breakouts in their tracks.

Don't lose control, take charge with Clean Start!
 

You've had your grubby hands and fingers all over that pimple, so before you do anything, clean your entire face
thoroughly with Wash Off to remove excess dirt and oils and keeping the bacteria at bay.

Apply Ready, Set, Scrub! as a masque directly to the breakout and surrounding area. We'd normally tell you to apply
water and convert it to a scrub but this time just let it set as a masque for 10 minutes. Rinse with warm (never hot)
water and blot dry.

As tempting as it is to now cover it up, please don't. Most concealers and foundations contain ingredients that often lead
to breakouts so they're only going to make the situation worse. It pays to avoid heavy oil-based concealers or cover-ups,
especially those that contain lanolin, artificial colour and fragrance. Instead apply Hit The Spot - to spot breakouts in their
tracks with purifying Zinc Sulfate and soothing plant extracts that will help reduce the redness and inflammation. Apply
a little every 6 to 8 hours until the spot has gone.

And if time isn't on your side - make an appointment with a skin care professional as soon as possible. They're qualified
to extract a breakout so it won't scar or spread to other pores. Find a skin care professional near you.
