How To Conceal Blemishes

Okay so this is something that I have to deal with every week. One thing I've learned, although it did take a little while, DO NOT pick at acne or skin irritations. That will only inflame them and make them look worse. Also, try not to over dry them with treatments because that will just make you flake. If you have a whitehead just take a hot shower and hold a hot wash cloth on it and after about a minute or so gently rub the head off without inflaming it. Mist your face with some toner and then let it dry. Put on foundation and see if that gives you the coverage you want, if not find a concealer that matches that same foundation. Using a concealer brush dab a small amount and circle it around the blemish and blend into outside. Hope this helps!

Keep Your Whites, White!

Okay so I know many people who cannot wear a white t-shirt more than once because of sweat marks. Well, here is the key to diluting those marks! Obviously we've all tried soaking it in bleach or washing it with bleach and that doesn't work. So instead, soak the stained area in hydrogen peroxide, pop an aspirin or two in the washer when it's already full with water, or soak the T-shirt in a solution of vinegar and water (1 tablespoon of vinegar to 1 cup of water)
