Leave Those Blemishes Alone

Resist the urge!!! Skin that is broken out from a blemish is already infected with bacteria. If you pick, you will only invite more bacteria into the area leading to possible infections or scarring. Use products containing salicylic acid and and beta hydroxy to not only heal the blemish but help prevent future breakouts while aloe will help alleviate irritation.

Natural facial cleansers such as the Sweet Orange & Hemp Oil Facial Cleanser contains natural ingredients that can help to prevent and heal blemishes. The peel in the sweet orange is known to be a natural exfoliator while both the oil and the peel are used to stimulate circulation and clear blemishes. Another wonderful natural ingredient is White Willow. White Willow is a natural form of salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid widely used as an exfoliant which helps to to keep pores clean of debris.

Keeping skin clear of debris helps to reduce breakouts and therefore reducing that urge to pick.
