Once upon a time, in a faraway land,

A young Regal lived in a spacious dorm room.

She had almost everything ready for her Saturday night.

But, the Regal was stressed from finals and extra curriculars.

Which she was cursed upon a zit.

From my personal experience, zits form in the most unexpected times. The night before Monte Carlo, I was cursed with the biggest zit on my forehead. It took me a ton of tries to solidify how to take care of zits in the most effective way possible.

All it takes is your three step process, spot treatment, and patience.

 

First, you do your three step process.

Your three step process opens your pores and prevents future breakouts.

 

First, spread a spot treatment on your zits.

I love the Kiehl’s one because it basically cools down the skin to reduce the pain. It’s only twenty dollars on Nordstrom and it’s free shipping!

 

Then, apply it on your face!

Totally a weird angle but.. I had a huge zit on my brow line a couple of days ago and it’s starting to clear up. So, it took me some patience for that blemish to clear.

 

Finally, apply your multi-purpose balm on your zits. A multi-purpose balm will reduce the redness of your zits and if you’ve popped it in the past, it’s a good way to stop the bleeding as well.

The true MVP of the multi-purpose balm world: Surfer’s Salve from Island Candle Works. This will cure anything from bug bites to acne!

Repeat every night till the zit magically disappears.

 

Good luck on finals and make your summer as memorable as a Disney Classic!
