Zits Away!

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

10 drops lavender

10 drops melaleuca

2 oz. spray bottle

fill with Witch Hazel

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.

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)

Not to mention that the zits have dried up and are going away!

Lavender and Melaleuca can be purchased at
