Removing Zits Overnight

I don’t know where I read it and frankly I don’t know when I read it, but I remembered a trick about getting rid of blemishes.

At my age I thought I don’t have to worry about acnes or zits or blemishes anymore (especially when I am using Retinol lotion on my face every night), but there it was … middle of my cheek … a big fat swollen ZIT! Boy … it was painful to even touch it!

If it was a black head or something I would have pop that (I know I am not supposed to, but I have a thing about picking zits), but the zit was under many layers of skin; so popping was out of the question.

With that said … I remembered reading somewhere that you can put hydrocortisone lotion on the pimple and put a band-aid over it overnight.

Apparently, hydrocortisone works over night and keeping it covered with a band-aid makes it work faster and more efficiently.

I have a very sensitive skin so I can’t use any regular band-aids because the adhesive is too strong and leave a “burn-like” mark on my skin. Unfortunately, I hold scars very well so the adhesive mark will be there for a long time.

So … the only band-aid I can use is the Nexcare Active Extra Cushion Bandages. It is Latex-Free, and it actually holds very well and does not burn my skin.

Well … well … well … it worked! I couldn’t believe it!!!!

The blemish is still there, but it is not a mountain on my cheek and it is not painful anymore!

I am out of words to describe how little things like that make me soooo happy!

I have spent tons of money, in the past, on zit ointments and washes, and even used old-wives-tales about toothpastes and etc.

Don’t wish a large zit on your face, but next time you have a blemish use this technique!

I have to get a tube just to put it on my makeup table!
