Conceal and heal
When your skin breaks out, the first thing many of us want to do is hide the blemish or pimple. For some, a pimple always appears at the worst possible time. Stress in addition to our diets, hormones and lifestyle contribute to this problem.
One solution is to use a medicated concealer. These types of concealers help to cover flaws, lighten dark circles and help to brighten the skin. Medicated concealers help to not only cover imperfections, but heal too. Medicated concealers should not be used under the eyes. Many contain zinc oxide, salicylic acid and lavender to clear, soothe, and calm your skin.
Two medicated concealers I have tried and liked are:
Murad Acne Treatment Concealer
This product has won Allure Best of Beauty 2011 and received InStyle Editors Pick in 2011 because it works. Available in light, medium and dark shades to provide you will oil-free coverage while helping to eliminate redness and heal your skin. ($21 murad.com)
Clinique Acne Solutions Clearing Concealer
When you want a concealer that looks so natural you can wear it alone and helps to get rid of your blemish, Clinique Acne Solutions Concealer is a great choice. This product is available in three shades plus an optional corrective green shade to instantly reduce the redness around the blemish. ($15.50 clinique.com)
