There are few guilty pleasures in life that are harder to give up, like grabbing a midnight snack or popping your pimples. While we are team snacking, we do not advocate indulging in the latter—it can lead to serious consequences like hyperpigmentation, and more acne. While popping your zits is not the worst thing, we’re here to tell you that there are far better and might we say, cuter ways to deal with unwanted guests squatting on your face. Try a hydrocolloid patch to flatten your pimple instead of poking it, not only do these patches use salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to drain the gunk out but they also provide a nice, moist healing environment for your skin. Follow it up with some niacinamide to soothe your skin and reduce any more breakouts and you’re good to go.
