Don’t Let Dark Spots and Uneven Skin Tones Ruin Your Social Life.

There’s nothing like having an affair to attend or for that matter a casual night out with your friends and a “Zit” from Hell shows up.

I know what that’s like.  I’ve had them come right on the tip of my nose or in the middle of my forehead right before an important speaking engagement or networking function for the business.

These are two areas that couldn’t be ignored if you wanted them too.  They are at the focal point on your face, eye level. The dark spots that occur in these areas seem to be magnified.   Any one talking to you or observing you from the platform would clearly see that you’ve got this  “Zit” on your face.  So what do you do?

I know, you’ve been told by me and other skin care professionals don’t touch it.  But you decide you know what’s best for your face.  Me too!  You pop that sucker and now you’re faced with what’s left of the “Zit”, a dark spot.

I’ve still got one between my eyes.   That’s because not only did I pop the pimple but also I kept aggravating it trying to get things evened out before my event.  (This was before I became an Esthetician.)

Seriously, What Do You Do With A “Zit” On Your Face?

• You are what you eat!  And by this I mean, foods can cause your skin to have certain reactions.   Fried foods, starches and dairy can all cause skin eruptions.  My sister-in-law loves bread and butter but when she enjoys too much of it, she gets whelps on her arms and scratches them and now she’s got more skin irritation to work through.  So eat as healthy as possible.

• You can treat your zits/pimples with Manuka Honey, Tea Tree Oil, Lemon Juice or Ice.  But it will all depend on your zit.

• You can use ice a few times during the day for 20-30 seconds.  This will help in reducing the swelling.

• Manuka Honey or Tea Tree oil for that matter only works on minor irritations.

• Keep your hands off your face, Please!  Do you know how many times you touch your face within a given day?  Imagine all of the dirt and grim you pick up from surfaces.  On the other side of that, wash your hands constantly if you’re working in an environment where you’re sharing computers or work stations.

Of course a good skin care regimen for your beautiful black skin is worth its weight in gold.

The basic system is to cleanse, tone and moisturize. But adding an exfoliation process will help in removing dead skin cells and thereby evening out your skin tone.

Coupled with great eating habits, you’ll see wonderful results with your skin.
