Instructions

Reducing Redness Naturally

1. Use ice to reduce any swelling associated with redness. This is especially important when you've popped a pimple.

2. Eat less spicy foods. The heat from the food might be causing inflammation on your face.

3. Stay out of the sun. If you must go outside, wear sunscreen and protective clothing to protect your skin from the harmful UVA and UVB rays.

4. Dry your face using very gentle and soft towels. Pat instead of rubbing.

5. Use organic and natural products to moisturize your face daily.

Tips & Warnings

• Everyone needs to use sunscreen daily, even on overcast or winter days, to prevent burns and redness.

• If your condition worsens or does not go away, see a dermatologist.

• Never squeeze pimples. This could cause infection or scarring.
