5 Quick Beauty Fixes


A blemish or skin irritation can ruin your morning rather quickly. The good news is, just as fast you can find a solution. Here are five quick fixes for the most frustrating of skin situations.

1. Pimples

Got a pesky pimple? Try dabbing it with a drop of lemon juice to speed up the healing process. "Lemon provides an acidic peel for the skin. Use lemon juice sparingly as it can be a bit rough on the skin, but it can assist as a natural, home-based peel. 

2. Dry Skin

Steer clear of soap if you have flaky skin — it's drying and dehydrates derma. And always use moisturizer. Moisturizing every day will protect the skin from becoming dry and cracked, as well as help fight wrinkles.

3. Oily T-Zone 

Blotting papers are the best quick fix for oily skin. Plus, you can easily stash them in your purse for on-the-go touchups. You can also cut back on shine by using an oil-free moisturizer.

4. Dull-Looking Skin

Microdermabrasion is an exfoliating technique that sloughs off dead skin cells with a bristle-tip brush and a specially formulated scrub.
