WHAT NOT TO TO AND WHAT TO DO WITH BIG ZIT

[DJM]

If you tend to get large, painful cystic zits, the kind that feel like a goose egg, never ever attempt to squeeze them. they usually involve many clogged pores, and can rupture below the skin and cause an infection. Sometimes, it is just oil that will start to leak out on its own. Best thing is to use a clay. or i use this queen hellen green mask at night, and put it on thick over the zit. It will help draw the oil out overnight. A drying product like salycylic acid will cause dead skin cells to shed which will further clog the pores and stop them from draining naturally. These usually clear up in 5-7 days if you leave them alone. I squeezed one once, and wound up with a throbbing "tumor" between my eyebrows, that i was so embarassed by, I actually wore a bandaid for a week.

HEY THIS MIGHT HELP. INFO HOPEFULLY WILL HELP US.

HEY HAS ANYONE TRIED THE : TIME HEALS SAYING WHEN FACED WITH AN URGE? I HAVE BEEN USING IT ESPECIALLY WHEN I START GETTING DEPRESSED AND THINKING ABOUT IT. IT WORKS BEST FOR THAT, NOT GREAT SO FAR FOR PICKING. I'LL KEEP U UPDATED. TRY IT, IT MIGHT WORK.

GOOD LUCK U ALL : )

proactiv Refining Mask

someones story

One of the free gifts you receive when you order ProActiv is the Refining Mask, which contains sulfur. sulfur and clay are good for drawing impurities to the surface of the skin---a key way to get rid of those blackheads and whiteheads! Three times a week, I applied this mask to moist skin after washing my face with the Renewing Cleanser. This white mask is non-irritating. You keep it on for ten minutes, until it dries, and then take it off with a washcloth.
