Okie doke, you have one of those big red nasty... -you get teh picture- zits. What to do? Try these tips to make them disapear within three days or less ( hopefully)*

1. Take the paste kind of toothpase that's white ( not the gel ) and apply a big glob to your pimple before bed. ( it might get toothpaste on your pillow. but at least your face will be nice and pimple free! This will ultimately make it smaller, it shrinks the pimple.  Use it untill the ebast is just about gone ( every night i mean) But it doesn't take away the redness, so look below. Try: Crest Cavity protection regular paste.

2. To reduce some of teh redness use an eyedrop treatment. It will dry up teh zit and take away the redness. apply before bed AFTER you have tried to shrink it with teh toothpaste. Or before, OR mix teh two together, which i haven't tried. Try: Visine A.C. drops.

3. After you have zapped the zit keep your pores clear at night by applying a clewar skin treatment after washing your face before bed. It's better to use these treatments at night, because they have more time to work and won't come off as easily. Try: Neautrogena Clear Pore treatment nighttime pre clarifying gel.

4. If you have oily skin ( liek me) that causes acne try a cleaner that controls oil. Use it before you go to school or going out w/ teh gals. Try: Neutrogena rapid clear oil-control foaming cleanser.

5.Even though skin can be oily you should still moisturize at least once a week. Find one that's oil-free that also fights acne. Try: Neutrogena oil-free moisture spf 15. Find one with sun-screen in it.

6. I also use a powder everday. It has a skin-protectant and SPF. I know you're liek " in a poder? nah..." but it's true! It's $9 but it alsts for about 2 months ( if you use it liek me) and it's so much better for you than a foundation!

If pimples and acxne is a huge problem. ( mine is kind of moderate and i use this) try one of tehse prescription treatments. But first visit your dermy!

Finacea- ( i use this) it started to clear  my face after 2 weeks and my face is almost eprfect now ( but i do have two pimples on my chin, thanks alot oily fingers). It doesn't overdry and i put it on every night.

Retin-A micro: ( i used to use this) i used it everyday and it over-dried my skin horrible ( despite my oily skin). It's a bit harsher. But it works really well on acne.

Here's a tip: Always wash your face with cold water. Hot water will make your face a little oilier.

Here's ANOTHER tip: Now, we've all picked at pimples before, so try this to get rid of those nasty scars, actually, prevent them! Put NEOSPORAN on the pimple twicw daily and it shoudl lessen your chance of getting a scar.

1) Sunscreen. Don't deny it, alot of us forget this during the summer, but the truth is that 75% of sun damage occurs during your normal day! I used to only wear sunscreen when i went swimming, but teh truth is you should apply it to any visible skin everyday. Try this product:

Neutrogena ultra-sheer dry-touch sunblock. SPF 30 ( availble in SPF 45 ) available at drugstores or at www.neutrogena.com. Won't ever feel greasey, i use it all of the time!

2) Gel blush. Ok, powder blush is great but it wears off and if you sweat IT'S GONE! So try a gel blush, it's durable and natural looking, You're only one pump Away from a beautiful flush! Try this product:

Mark by Avon tint,tint lip and cheek gel. www.meetmark.com . It comes in about 5 colors, perfect for summer.It stays on sooo well!  

3) Waterproof mascara. I have never tried this miraculous product but i'm going to buy some VERY VERY soon! I'm obsessed w/ mascara, i have puney ugly tiny lashes without body or shape. So, i wear it everyday! It's hard to not wear it when i go swimming, i mean once i did and it wasn't waterproof so i looked like a racoon on crack! So be safe and use Waterproof! try this product:

Revlon color stay extra thick waterproof mascara in black. In two shades. Available at drugstores and www.revlon.com. The bestest and most natural way to " boy enhancers".

4) Waterproof cream eyeshadow. I like eyeshadow because it brightens your eyes and gives them color and it also draws attention to them. So, don't surrender to the water wear it anyways! Try this product:

Rimmel London cool touch waterproof eyeshadow. Available at WALMART and www.rimmellondon.com Sorry, not picture available.

5) Lip Balm. A lot of lip sticks and all are long lasting, but lip balm is better. Some ar tinted and some are just clear. You can find flavored too. BUT i love all natural with actual sunscreen! Try this product:
