Do you get zits a lot? Maybe it's just because you've got your facts mixed up. Read on to figure out if you're "sabotaging" your own skin.


Steps

1. Take this quiz. These are true or false statements.
   • If my zit cream doesn't work in a few days, I should give up. (False. Why? If you're treating a brand new zit, it can take up to a week to work.)
   • I should pluck hairs on my face everyday. (False. Why? By plucking, you're pulling out short strands that are hard to grasp. This causes redness.)
   • I don't need sunscreen if my makeup has SPF. (False. SPF in makeup is much less effective.)
   • I should wash my oily face three or more times a day. (False. This makes your skin think it's dry, so it'll start creating more oil. Just wash your face twice a day and keep oil blotting sheets.)
   • I don't need to moisturize my face if I have acne. (False. Acne medications dry out the zit and your skin overall. This increases oil production which can give you more acne.)
2. If you answered true to three or more questions, you need to keep these facts in mind and keep your border lines.
3. Have an emergency zit kit. A zit cream, a redness relief cream, a concealer stick, and translucent powder that absorbs oil should be all that you need.

Tips

• If you apply makeup, do your daily skin treatment before you apply makeup.
• Before you wash your face for the second time in one day, remove all makeup worn.

Warnings

• Make sure you're not allergic to any of the products used.
