a small mark or flaw
that spoils the appearance of something.
So what can we do to get rid of those awful,
red, inflamed flaws on our face? Well first you must treat, then comes the
covering up. Start off the treatment with probably the most obvious thing,
washing your face, but what you wash your face with can make all the
difference. A face wash with glycolic acid is best for blemishes. The reason
for the glycolic acid is that it is anti-inflammatory and an anti-bacterial. Cleansing
the skin is always crucial, so you can work with a clean canvas and treat any
skin problem. Peter Thomas Roth has an awesome glycolic wash that i have been
using for some time now and I can't get enough of it. Follow the wash with a
serum that also has glycolic acid, and then apply your favorite moisturizer. A
blemish is an inflammation on the skin and needs to be treated like any
inflammation so you can't cover it up with makeup just yet. The next step helps
tackle the swelling of the blemish to prepare your skin for the cover up; hold
an ice cube over it and that will reduce the inflammation and redness. Next,
grab your favorite concealer/camouflage(if you don't have one try the gloMinerals camouflage that's my fave, see link below.) Once you have applied the camouflage
finish off with a few touches of translucent powder. Yellow color corrector is
also a great product to use since it hides the redness extremely well. Best way
to cover the blemish with the concealer is not just directly on it, but
outwards all around with a brush or with your beautyblender. Blending is
essential to getting the perfect cover. Finally, apply foundation and if in the
process you take off some of the concealer, don’t fret just reapply with a
light dab and again brush on a little powder. Last thing to aid in all your skin problems is to drink water and stay hydrated all day, water can work miracles.
