Under-Eye Circles

Stayed up all night studying for that early test? Had a girls night watching tear-jerkers? Maybe you just had a rough night on the town.

Minimize the puffiness by using one or more of these tips:

• Take a metal spoon and run it under cold water. Place the metal on the puffy area for at least 60 seconds.
• Apply hemorrhoid cream. Look for brands that contain ingredients of yeast and shark's liver oil to the puffy area.
• A black tea bag soaked in cold water on each eye for ten minutes will reduce swelling caused by fluid retention.
• Gently press from inner to outer corners to allow drainage. To prevent fluid from settling around your eyes, elevate your head when you sleep, to keep.

Cover dark circles once you've reduced the bags around your eyes by:

• Dotting a bit of yellow-toned concealer into the corners of your eyes and along the lash line.
• Use a brush to spread the concealer evenly and finish with a little loose powder.

Stressful Break-outs

Boyfriends, girlfriends, weight gain, weight loss - no matter what it is, it seems to wreak havoc on our faces. Follow these quick tips and you can look so fresh and so clean in no time!

Never Pick a Pimple. According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), the best way to treat existing pimples and prevent new ones from forming is to start with a clean foundation. Another suggestion from the AAD, never, ever pick a pimple. Not only does it increase your chance of infection (aka longer healing time), but it increases your risk for other pimples as well.

• Wash your face twice a day with a mild cleanser, followed by a toner and then moisturizer with some form of SPF.
• Help clear up break-outs by applying a medicated cream with either benzoyl, peroxide, or salicylic acid.

Cover Up Your Imperfections: Dab concealer onto the pimple with a brush, and finish with powder.

Always remember:

A consistent skin-care routine is a must, while going to bed without washing your face is a must not!
