Legendary Esthetics

Waking up with a zit on your face can be annoying. You’re in between appointments with your esthetician and zit just have no respect for you plans later.  Hold off on the concealer and try the tips on how to bring down the swelling and redness in a Cystic Pimple at home. 🌸Start with salicylic acid.
Gently exfoliate with a salicylic cleanser, to get rid of excess oil and create a clean slate for the rest of the products. If you have dry skin, stick to your normal cleanser and use the salicylic cleanser only on the blemish.
🌼Then tackle the swelling.
Ice-cold temperatures help constrict blood vessels, so wrap an ice cube in a paper towel and hold it against the bump to reduce redness and bring down the swelling.
🌸Kill the bacteria.
Benzoyl peroxide destroys the acne-causing bacteria that are trapped within the follicle, causing inflammation. To prevent irritation, make sure you prime the skin with a water based moisturizer first, then spot-treat the cyst with a super thin layer of the lowest percentage of benzoyl peroxide
🌼Reduce the redness.
An over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream contains a low dose of steroids that can help shrink pimples and soothe redness. The more you pile on and the longer you let it sit, the more effective it will be. Wait for the benzoyl peroxide to dry first. #skincareTips #skincareroutine #skincaretipsandtricks #esthetician #beautifulskin #facials #getyourglowon #dermaplaning #microblading #microneedling #chemicalpeel #houstonmua #houstonesthetician
