Damage Control: Clean & Clear Popped Pimple Relief

DO NOT POP PIMPLES! IT IS BAD! VERY, VERY BAD! YOU WILL SCAR YOUR FACE AND CAUSE FURTHER INFECTION! DO NOT POP PIMPLES!!!!

Okay, now that that's over with, when you do pop a pimple (and who are we kidding? We all do it), put this stuff on it immediately!

Clean & Clear Advantage Popped Pimple Relief Drying Paste is currently saving my skin. I mean that both figuratively and literally. It's literally saving my face from some small planets that decided to orbit my chin. It's figuratively saving my budding career, since I have a photo shoot today, and the said small planets just showed up over the weekend. Ew.

So, here's the deal. Without going into too much gory detail, I popped a cystic pimple four days before a photo shoot. That was stupid. I am well aware of this. In desperation, I picked this up at Target and started using it immediately. It's a thick blue paste that turns white as it dries. Thomas has dubbed it "pigeon poop". Lovely. The first time I used it, I called out from the bathroom, "Ooooh, I'm pretty....", to which he replied, "What? It's not like you look like the Bride of Frankenst--. Oh. Yeah, you do." King of tact, that one. Actually, it made me laugh, and I kind of had to agree with him. I'd put the paste on anything that even looked like it might possibly one day think of becoming a zit, so my face was covered in blue polka dots. Again, lovely.

The point, though, is that four days later, that pimple was gone. I mean, gone gone. There's still some slight discoloration, but I dabbed a drop of concealer on, and it's like the zit was never there. I can not recommend this highly enough. Whether you're a tween with moderate acne or a thirty-something with occasional breakouts, put this in your arsenal. It's the best $6.99 you'll spend.
