PIMPLES?

Pimples!

Resist the urge to pick at a pimple. Skin that is broken out is already infected with bacteria. Picking breaks down the skin and invites in more bacteria, leading to possible infections or scarring.

Remedies!

Apply a product with salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, camphor, or zinc oxide twice a day. A drop or two of Visine on the pimple will reduce redness

Egg Facials

Facials with egg help smooth and nourish your skin and give you a youthful glow. Try any of these three routines:

1) Using a cotton puff, apply egg white to your face and let it dry for up to 30 minutes. Splash off with lukewarm and then cold water.

2) Beat an egg white until stiff. Add one teaspoon of honey. Stir together. Then fluff onto your face. After 30 minutes, splash off with tepid and cold water.

3) Beat the whites of four eggs with one grain of alum (available at drug stores) until stiff. Now apply all over your face and throat and let remain on for about one hour. Splash off with warm and cold water.
