clearing the redness after a breakout

[kimmy]

i finally got my skin smooth again after that breakout i bitched about a few weeks ago...but now the red spots are still there and they don't seem to be getting any better at all. i wonder why this is...moreover, i wonder if there's any drugstore (preferably) stuff that can help a girl out?

i got a sample of some coverfx treatment and priming serum which i used as a base for my makeup and I LOVED it! and the next day redness from a breakout I had was way less! I really wanna go out and buy it (it made my makeup nice too) but I think its a lil pricey?? maybe 40$, ask for a sample at a drugstore if you can get it and try it though even if you don't wanna dish out the $

hope that helps

Ugg, the leftover scars and marks are the absolute worst thing in dealing with acne since sometimes they can be permanent. I still get cystic zits every once in awhile especially around the nose just a week or so before my period. It's like my face is broadcasting to the entire world HELLOO, don't mess with me I'm PMSing!

2 months ago I got a monster on the side of my nose. Extracted it very carefully, the monster went away but I was left with a red scar. At least I wasn't left with a pit. I've been using Vit C serum on a daily basis for nearly a year for all over brightening and antioxidant, but spot treated the scar with helichyrsum essential oil. It's expensive but the scar has completely disappeared. I also used this EO on a scar on my hand after I burned it in the oven. The scar is very very faint now, much better than it would have been without it. I consider Heli oil an essential essential oil I can't do without!

If your skin can handle a little bit of oil, try vitamin E oil on the spot? I tried that when my cystic acne went red after a breakout.

i got some vitamin e oil...hopefully it works.

my skin's a little dry anyway, so i figure it can't hurt too much.
