๐Ÿ’ฅHow to treat stubborn cystic pimples - please ๐Ÿ’ฅHow to treat stubborn cystic pimples - please DO NOT SQUEEZE!

๐Ÿ‘ŽThese are by far the worst kind (in my opinion!). Would you agree?

โšก๏ธCysts are painful under the skin pimples, often sticking around for weeks (if not months). 

๐Ÿ’œThere's no magic cure (except to prevent them) but it's all about calming inflammation. I've found these 4 steps can significantly help (most times).

๐Ÿ“ For the full step by step method, head to my link in bio and download the 'First Aid for Cystic Pimples Guide'.

โ˜น๏ธ Closed comedones are flesh coloured or white bumps often on your forehead or around your chin. 

Excess oil and hormones can play a role, but also consider ingredients in your skin and haircare. 

๐Ÿฅฅ Coconut oil is a very common trigger, same with isopropyl myriatate (often found in moisturizing hair products and conditioners). 

๐Ÿ‘‰ Touching your face can trigger comedones, or make them worse. (Read my last post on picking!) 

๐ŸŒŸTry using an AHA or BHA to help exfoliate the area and control oil with a Vitamin B3 Serum (niacinamide).

Want a no-cost way to help acne and congestion?

๐Ÿ“บ Watch this! 

Picking is so tempting! I've been there (and still working on it). 

๐Ÿ‘‰Picking and touching can worsen congestion and breakouts. 

๐Ÿ’ก Find flattering bathroom lighting! Trust me, this will make a huge difference how you see your skin in the mirror. If you can, also dim the lights. 

๐Ÿชž Stand a few feet away from the mirror and don't use magnifying mirrors. 

๐ŸŽจ Apply a clay mask on annoying pimples (while at home) so you're less tempted to pick! Try @threeshipsbeauty Detox Mask (shop in bio)

Are you a reformed picker? Or still struggling?

๐Ÿ“š CASE STUDY: This is a common problem I see ar ๐Ÿ“š CASE STUDY: This is a common problem I see arise with my clients. Some skin reactions can look like pimples and breakouts. 

๐Ÿ“– There's no better case study than my own experience!

I started getting these flat red bumps (like papules) on my cheeks. At one point it even looked like papulopustular rosacea. 

Initially I thought I was breaking out, so I switched my regular moisturizer for the @holisticvanity Black Mud Turmeric Lotion, which often calms my breakouts. I also used a little lactic acid. 

The next morning my skin was not better, it may have gotten worse. 

I also observed it was on my cheeks but not on forehead or chin, which is usually where I breakout. 

That's when I realized I was having a reaction. I stopped using most of my products, including makeup, and used @holisticvanity Calendula Skin Tonic (which has been so soothing for my skin!) and the @graydonskincare Sensitive Skin Stuff. I've also been using the @fitglowbeauty Cloud Ceramide Cleanser 1x at night. 

๐Ÿ‘Œ I will continue this until my skin fully clears up and stop using any acids or active ingredients for the remainder of the month. I'm also aware of any irritants (like essential oils) in my shampoo and conditioner. 

๐Ÿ’œPrior to this reaction, even though my moisture barrier felt good, something clearly set my immune response off (still trying to figure that one out, but I have a few ideas! ๐Ÿ˜„). 

Have you experienced something like this?
