How to cover up or get rid of huge embarrassing zit?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Products like: cover up can blend coloration so that the pimple isn't as apparent. Wash face w gentle cleanser 2x/day & use oil free products. No oily hair or heavy foundations. Try not to pop pimples. Avoid touching face (cradling chin in hands). Remove makeup before bed. Shower after strenuous exercise. Consider OTC products (salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide). Retinoids/ comedone extractor can be helpful
