Dear Beauty 365,
Once and for all, should I or shouldn’t I pop my zits?!
Ready To Pop
New Brunswick, NJ
Dear Ready To Pop,
Funny you ask that.
I’ve got a couple “situations” going on near my left cheek and I was recently wondering the same thing! I confess to having popped more than one zit in my day, but I do my best to avoid it. The single solution that has worked best for me has 3 important steps:
1. Keep hands off offending zit.
2. Dab toner containing salicylic acid on offending zit after washing face.
3. Keep hands OFF offending zit (really – this part is important!)
Simple, right? But, this method can take a while. And, sometimes, it can be hard to follow steps 1 and 3 after waiting a several long days while the offending zit dies its slow death. Can you believe that some people even get a teeny bit of satisfaction from popping a zit?! Uh, yeah, me neither…
Moving right along.
I thought it prudent to seek medical advice regarding this urgent skin care situation. So, I pulled out my trusty copy of the venerable Dr. Oz’s book and read up on how to lance a pimple.

Ohhh, Home Spa Initiative, how I love thee! Weekly skin treatments are not only fun, but pretty great for your skin!
 This week’s mini-facial is courtesy of Alba Botanica’s Hawaiian Papaya Enzyme Facial Mask ($13). Not only is this mask super affordable and long-lasting – it really works! The marquee ingredients are papaya and pineapple enzymes which both work to get rid of old skin cells, so that your yummy healthy skin can shine through.
Here’s a random pic of me with the mask on:
Be ready for some skin tingling with this mask while the enzymes are hard at work. As always, be sure to keep it away from your eyes! This product earns eco-friendly points by not testing on animals and being 100% vegetarian. You’ve got not excuse not to check it out!
Let me know how it goes!
Stay Beautiful
