I’m getting a lip wax, should I discontinue using the REVERSE Regimen before or after?

Yes, you should discontinue using the REVERSE products three days before and after your lip waxing. REVERSE Regimen contains retinol, exfoliating beads and active ingredients to help renew skin and smooth texture. These formulations, when combined with waxing, may make your skin more reactive and prone to irritation and redness. It is also advisable to test the wax on a small area prior to waxing.

TIP: If you wax frequently, we recommend applying SOOTHE As Needed Hydrocortisone Lotion with 1% hydrocortisone after waxing to help decrease localized inflammation. This treatment quickly calms and soothes skin.

My skin is getting pretty clear using UNBLEMISH Regimen but I have a huge blemish that popped up. What should I do?

Here is your emergency pimple fix

1)     Apply ice buffered by a napkin for ten to fifteen minutes to reduce redness and telltale swelling.

2)     Apply the UNBLEMISH Acne Treatment Sulfur Wash for 10 minutes on dry skin. Rinse off then pat dry. Sulfur helps to unplug pores and help shrink swelling.

3)     Follow with SOOTHE As Needed Hydrocortisone Lotion OR a product containing 1% hydrocortisone or apply UNBLEMISH Dual Intensive Acne Treatment.

4)     Apply a thin layer of a medicated concealer.

If time permits, get cortisone shot from your dermatologist. The results can be miraculous.
