Problematic Skin and How to Deal

We all have those weekends where we decide to drink an obscenely large amount of alcohol in one night. Or maybe we attend a family event where it's rude to refuse another plate of that calorific meal. Or maybe this somehow happens all in one weekend. 

And your skin ends up hating you for all the bad decisions you made within a weekend (or a day).

Dealing with a breakout after you've been working so hard to keep everything under control is a huge downer, but it happens to the best of us. The only thing you can really do is be patient with your skin  and give it time to heal and detox. 

Tips and Tricks on Dealing with a Weekend Breakout

1. Drink tons of water 
If you decided to go all out one night with the vodka Red Bulls, then you probably need to hydrate for the next week anyway. Drink tons of water to cleanse out any toxins that are lingering from a night out.

2. Clarifying Mask
This won't clear away any breakouts that have emerged overnight, but it could expedite the healing process! Don't over do it though!

3. Spot Treatment 
Targeting breakouts with a spot treatment is the most effective way to treat. Your skin is still probably dehydrated from the weekend, so you don't need to apply drying products all over your face, just on the areas that need it.

4. Lastly, by patient!
Breakouts take time to clear and heal up. Give your skin some time and remember this process before you decide to go wild for a weekend!
