Do you suffer from acne? Occasional, unsightly blackheads and zits? I'm in my 40's (shhhh....don't let my secret out!) and still dealing with acne. I always thought it was mostly for the teenage years.
WRONG!
I'm not one for medications, creams, etc. I just usually wait it out, mourn :(, pinch and squeeze...hehehe!
(TMI--I know :0)!)
Should you pinch and squeeze to POP that zit??
I'm linking to some articles that give good reasons why you should resist the urge to squeeze, pinch and POP!
Is It Okay to Pop A Pimple?
To Squeeze or Not to Squeeze
And, who knew....Dr. Oz created a video on Oprah to show those who cannot resist, how to pop your pimple...
Dr. Oz...How To Pop A Pimple
Instead of squeezing, pinching and popping...let's keep that acne away in the first place. And, if you still get a pimple, zit or blackhead....then spray this directly on it. The antiseptic and healing properties of these two oils, along with the benefits of witch hazel will zap that zit!

Zits Away
An acne blend for a clear complexion
Apply to face and neck 2x daily. Can be used as often as needed.
I use it more than twice a day on days I don't wear makeup--pretty much whenever I think about it.
Use caution when spraying around the eyes.
Not to mention that the zits have dried up and are going away!
SPARK NATURALS
Use code "sonshine" for a 10% discount
If you do not have the essential oils to make Zits Away, consider purchasing the blend at Sonshine Botanicals.
Thanks for stopping by!

I've been using this for about a week now, call me crazy, but my face feels a little firmer. Like it's firming up that saggy skin from all those years of squeezing and pinching blackheads and zits! :0)
