No, I don't mean stop your daily skin care regimen. I mean, stop picking at your face! Ok, so it's not like we don't all do it (even I'm guilty). Today I learned a lesson and it's to leave my face alone. Believe me I learned the hard, ugly way.
Basically what happened was I decided to try and force stubborn blackheads out of my nose. In the process of squeezing I most likely broke a capillary and now I have an ugly red mark on the side of my nose. Honestly it serves me right :(. Up to now I've been so good about properly cleansing and using masks - which have significantly helped. Now I have to wait and see if it will go away on its own. I take vitamin e everyday and that's been known to help as well as apple cider vinegar. For those of you who don't know, vinegar is often used on fresh bumps to thin out the blood and prevent bruising. Mom's use this on little kids when they fall and hit themselves.
If these home remedies don't do the trick my only other option is to pay a dermatologist to zap it away. And who knows what that will cost me?
The moral of the story ladies, leave your face alone! An annoying blackhead is a million times better than an ugly broken vein.
