Breakouts aren't just for teens. To the rescue: solutions just for moms - Parenting.com
No fair -- breakouts are supposed to be for teenagers, not us! But as many moms know, we're just as prone (thanks to hormones, birth-control changes, and stress), says Ava Shamban, M.D., a dermatologist in Santa Monica, CA. How to zap zits fast:
1. Wash up! "Never touch fingers to the pimple, and never pop it with makeup on your face," says Dr. Shamban. And break whiteheads onlynothing deep under skin.
2. Be cautious With a clean comedone extractor (at drugstores), gently press down on the pimple until it opens. Wipe skin and extractor with peroxide.
3. Spot-treat Try Burt's Bees Natural Acne Solutions Targeted Spot Treatment ($9.99) to soothe; Clean & Clear Advantage Mark Treatment ($8.49) to minimize scars.
