Avada Kedavra Pimple

Today is the day. The day you have been waiting for weeks that seemed like years. The guy you have been crushing on, finally asked you out and you are meeting him for dinner. YAAAY! Excited! Me too! So, you wake up all happy . Sleepily you get into the washroom and start brushing your teeth . You gaze into the mirror and there you spot it . The tiny red , round shaped monster named 'pimple' on your left cheek staring right back at you. You feel so doomed .And you know it's going to be a bad bad day .

We all know we should keep our skin healthy . Eat the right kind of food. Avoid junk food .  Cleanse, tone, moisturize. Never sleep with makeup on . And this goes on and on .

But , if you have a lifestyle like mine, you hardly get the time and you don't have the energy to put in the effort even when you are a beauty freak . You eat out 3 times a day . Drink more coffee than water. There are nights when you are too tired to wash your face and you end up sleeping with make up on. You can't change your crazy lifestyle in a day or the humid Mumbai weather.Actually you can't change anything in a day . So,you can go to your date dressed like this -- 

Yes, how mean of me !  :P But if you don't want a similar attire for the next date try the very simple three products that have helped me a lot .

 1. Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash by The Body Shop- This is a miracle face wash . It feels so cool and refreshing when you wash your face with it. It reduces breakouts . Also, it has minimized the number of whiteheads that I used to have . Priced only at Rs . 445 ; the bottle lasts upto 2-3 months . Its worth it .

2. Dermi Cool Prickly Heat Powder -  I am not kidding . Dermi Cool is just not another talcum powder. It's an Ayurvedic preparation . At night after washing my face and putting my night cream, I apply Dermi Cool to all the oily areas of my face . This soaks up the excess oil . And I wake up pimple free in the morning . Priced only at Rs. 60 for 150g ; you can find it at a grocery near your place . Remember its not just a powder , it's "A Propriety Ayurvedic Medicine'. :)

Even after using these religiously; if, something like this happens ---

Don't worry I got the magic cure for it . The third product I swear by -

3. Nilac Gel - You did everything to keep your skin porcelain a la Katrina Kaif ; still you ended up having a pimple ; Nilac Gel becomes your saviour. It's a Clindamycin Phosphate and Nicotinamide gel.  You can get this at the chemist near you. It reduces the size of the pimple by half (atleast in my case it does ) in a night . Priced approx  at 70 INR or so , this product actually works .


Have a happy pimple free day .
