Some days are harder than others. That’s true even if your skin kept clear throughout the year. Now, imagine how much worse your day will be if you had to deal with skincare problems on top of your stressful schedule. Breakouts just have to happen on the day you’re traveling or meeting someone important.
For different levels of urgency, you have different kinds of skincare rescue:
Short-Term: Makeup
The beauty of makeup is helpful for last-minute cover-ups that take care of skin imperfections. That pimple that popped up overnight need not ruin your photoshoot, interview, or meeting. A good concealer takes care of it for the day–if you use the right one. When it comes to makeup, products are not created equal. You might want to watch or read product reviews before spending money. Makeup also takes care of tattoos, in case you don’t want them to show but don’t necessarily want to get rid of them permanently. At the end of the day, you get to remove the layers of makeup and wait for your pimple to go away on its own. You don’t need to buy a special product if you already own the makeup, which you may use with or without another breakout to hide.
Middle Ground: Skincare Change
While makeup effectively hides imperfections temporarily, some of them may also contribute to the problem. You may develop acne if you are using products not fit for your skin type. The wrong makeup remover may also leave residue on your skin, which clogs up pores. A particular ingredient not compatible with your skin may also cause rashes. For these situations, you need to change your skincare routine. It’s expensive at first since you’ll have to buy new products, but as you notice improvements on your skin, you’ll be thankful for the switch. Do continue using products that are specially formulated for your skin type to avoid other problems from showing up. Otherwise, you will have to make a switch again.
Long-term: Derma Treatment
Acne prone skin may be more than a temporary bother if they keep cropping up and ruining your plans. Some outgrow the skin condition, but others continue to suffer through adulthood. Skin rashes may also present a problem, as they are noticeable and uncomfortable. They may also spread to a broader area of the skin if not treated. Acne and skin rash treatment are common enough in Salt Lake City for those looking to manage the condition on a long-term basis. Do schedule your appointment with a dermatology clinic ahead of the holidays, as they may be packed with clients hoping to look good for parties and year-enders.
Treatment may resolve your problem permanently if there is no underlying condition. To be sure, have a skin doctor assess the problem thoroughly instead of going for generic at-home treatments. You want expert hands and authentic products to use on something as sensitive as the skin. Your skin draws attention from everyone. To keep it clear and healthy looking, give it the love it deserves.
