- Hi everyone, I'm gonna show you guys something today
that I have never shared with anyone except my husband.
I mean, I haven't even shared this with my best friends,
I've never shared it online, but I was doing a new, like,
face care routine with new products for you guys
as like a review and my face freaked out
and totally broke out everywhere
and so I thought, well let's turn these lemons into lemonade
Maybe it's finally time for me to show you guys
what I do when I get a breakout or a zit
and how I heal them quickly, overnight, in a very cheap way.
So I can cover them up the next day with makeup
and none's the wiser.
So I'm sharing this with you guys today,
you're gonna die, you might laugh at me,
you might think I'm crazy, but you're gonna try it
and then you're gonna love it too.
So, let's get started.
(upbeat music)
Alright guys, this is what my face looked like
after I was using some products I was testing out
to hopefully do a review for you guys,
but it went horribly wrong.
So, as you can see, I've got a lot of crap on my face, right
I don't know about you guys, but I'm a huge picker.
Anyone else, like a picker, I can't handle any sort of bumps
on my face, on my skin, I always have to pick off scabs.
So, that always makes them worse because I pick at them
and then they're even harder to cover up with makeup, right
You guys feel me?
So, what I would recommend doing first
with this whole method of getting your zits
and your bumps just to go away virtually overnight,
is you need to wash your face,
and I would recommend that you wash it
with some sort of scrub.
This is the St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub.
This is the one that I would use very gently on your face
to get rid of any of the dead skin or scabbing that
might have happened on your face.
If you happen to break the planes of skin
and cause any of them to bleed,
do not let them scab over,
that will defeat the whole purpose of
what I'm about to show you.
If it does start to bleed, get out some rubbing alcohol
and a cotton ball and just basically
like hold it on whatever's bleeding
until the bleeding stops
because we want to have a surface that is open for healing
and when something scabs, it's protecting that area, right.
It's creating like a barrier over what we are trying to
heal, I guess, overnight, if that makes sense.
So, after you guys have done this, and you guys...
Seriously, I cannot even believe I'm doing this for you guys
I must love you a lot to show you my face
because I would never go out in public looking like this.
Now, this is the part that is gonna blow people's minds.
So next, all you need are Band-Aids and Neosporin
and I'm gonna show you guys how to do this,
but I just wanna say really fast before I go onto this.
If you guys have any zits coming in that haven't broken yet
that are blackheads or you can feel bumps coming in
that aren't red yet,
I would recommend putting on something like a Clearasil,
they have a like a Rapid Action Vanishing Treatment Cream
supposed to work in four hours,
I think it works pretty good.
Anything that has your benzoyl peroxide
about 10 percent in it will do this for you.
So put it on whatever areas you need to first
and then I would wait about ten minutes
for it to completely dry or your Band-Aids will not stick on
Just a little hint in case you do have more zits coming in
and we wanna try to get rid of those before we have
to deal with the crazy red zits and blemishes everywhere.
Alright, so now we have our Band-Aids and our Neosporin.
I would highly recommend the Comfort Sheer,
or any type of Band-Aid that actually stretches.
There are a lot of super cute Band-Aids out there
or cool Band-Aids out there or whatever
and they don't stretch, they will work fine in a pinch,
but they don't work as well when you're
going over your nose or you're
going over rounded spots on your face
and basically, we're sleeping in these guys.
I know, crazy right?
I came up with this idea about ten years ago
and I have been doing it ever since
because it totally worked.
So, basically what we're gonna do,
is we're gonna take the Neosporin
and we are going to dab it on any huge zit, like this one
that we need to help the skin grow over
and create a layer over so that we can then put makeup on it
If you're a digger or a picker,
you might have the beginnings of like a crater going on,
obviously that's gonna take a lot longer to heal,
but if you have like lighter zits, like down here
the Neosporin is gonna do wonders.
I can not wait to show you guys a before and after.
So, let me do this for you guys so you guys can get an idea.
I'm gonna be using the screen on my camera,
so if I'm looking that way, that's why,
but I'm gonna show you guys how to do this.
Be very, very generous with the
amount of Neosporin you are putting on
because we're not just putting on just a little bit
and then putting on a Band-Aid,
because a lot of that will get soaked into the Band-Aid.
We want enough to be in there to actually
like stay on it the whole night.
We want our sores or our open blemishes or whatever,
we want them to stay moisturized the whole night long
so the skin can heal.
We don't want it to get crusty.
If it gets crusty, then you didn't put on enough of this
and that's when it won't heal as well.
So make sure that it is super moisturized with a lot of this
You can also do a little trick
where you take just a little bit
and kinda just rub it in,
so you just rub it in the spot
and remember you only wanna stay on the zit
because you need the Band-Aid to actually stick on your face
So I'm actually rubbing it down in there
and then I'm gonna put a huge glob
of Neopsorin on my face.
Like, seriously guys, so are you guys laughing yet?
You probably are, but that's okay
because when you guys see my before and after,
you're gonna be like, "Holy crap, I'm totally doing that!"
So, Band-Aid, we are going to put it on
and I'm going to just put it on
over my face, I know, looks amazing, right?
Now, if you're married, your husband might
freak out just a little bit.
He'll be like, "What are you doing?"
and you can just say, "Well I'm trying this technique
"cause I heard it'll get rid of my zits faster
"so, that's what we're gonna do."
Sometimes when you have zits close enough,
like these two, you can fit one Band-Aid on them.
So, we are gonna do that, we don't want too many Band-Aids
and another reason for the Comfort Sheer types of Band-Aids,
is that when you have a bunch of zits like this on your face
it's nice to have Band-Aids that move with you.
Especially if you toss and turn a lot
or you're a face sleeper or a stomach sleeper.
You don't really feel the Band-Aids if they are flexible.
Alright, so I got another one.
Nose, make sure you guys see this one,
because this is kind of like the
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer thing right now
and in the morning, I want you guys to see
how much better it looks.
I know you guys are dying,
like I'm dying showing you guys this right now.
Like, I can't believe I'm showing you guys this.
And it's not like I really wanna put a picture of myself
with Band-Aids all over my face up on YouTube, but
I will do anything for a beautiful skin
and a beautiful face,
and unfortunately, what normally keeps my face
nice and clear and beautiful, didn't work this time
cause I was using new stuff,
so, you'll see,
these ones I think are okay,
Use that one,
You can choose how many of these you want to do on your face
I'm only gonna do a couple to show you the big major ones
that are really, really
I don't know, prominent, I guess would be the word.
The ones that are deeper then the others.
Some of these zits, like over here, are pretty shallow
and I can already cover those up with makeup.
So I'm not worried about speeding up the process on those,
I'm worried about having the skin heal and create an actual
like thin layer so I can put my makeup on top of it.
So here's like a really good idea of the zits
that I'm trying to cover up.
Let me get really close.
So I still have zits here and here and here,
I'll put a little bit of Neosporin on them.
Just so they stay a little bit
moisturized throughout the night.
But for the most part, like this is it.
So basically what I'm gonna do is
I'm gonna go to bed tonight with these on my face,
leave them on the whole night, sleep with them on.
In the morning, I'm gonna take them off for you guys
and I'm gonna show you the before and the after
and hopefully the lighting will be good enough for
you guys to see the the difference
and then I'll cover up some of my face with makeup
so you guys can see how much better your face looks or heals
with this dumb Band-Aid method.
Like, I can't believe this works
and I can't believe I haven't seen
anyone else come up with it.
So, here you go, this is gonna save your life
and it's super cheap, obviously.
Like a box of Band-Aids is like two bucks.
Neosporin's a couple bucks.
Like, it's a super cheap way and it's the fastest way
I have found to actually heal
heal your zits and your blemishes
overnight well enough that you can cover them up with makeup
so there aren't like visible huge bumps
or scabs or scars on your face.
Like, it's crazy.
Like, people are spending hundreds of dollars
on certain creams and I know they work,
but I haven't found anything that works better than this
or faster than this.
So, I want you guys to try this.
Alright guys, I just woke up,
I just took off all my Band-Aids.
Now obviously from far away I still have red spots,
that's okay, it doesn't matter if you have red spots,
what the important part is and why the Band-Aid method
is that it healed the skin so I don't have flaking
and I don't have like big bumps
or things that I'm trying to cover up, it doesn't give me
scabs that I'm trying to cover up with makeup.
It basically gives me a flat layer that I can actually
put makeup over now, so I wanna show you guys,
look at my nose, this is probably the best example of
how well this works.
Compared to what my nose looked like last night,
can you guys see that it's completely healed over?
Like the skin is totally healed over now,
now I can totally cover that up with makeup
and you wouldn't even know that I had a zit.
Same goes with these, they might still be red,
and that's okay, but the skin or the top layer of skin
has healed over flat, so now I can cover those up.
The only one that didn't heal as well as I hoped it would
is this top one and that's because I totally dug at that one
and it is actually like, kinda crater-type.
Like, I dug into it.
So that one's gonna take a couple more nights,
but if you guys didn't get the results you want
on the first night, do it two nights in a row.
You can do it every night if you wanted to
to help them heal even faster,
but at least one night usually gives me what I need
or at least enough to give me what I need
and then I'm good to go.
So I thought before I ended this video,
I would hurry up and put on some makeup so you guys can see
that it really does cover up the zits
when you have that layer healed on the top.
So, the redness will go away in a few days on it's own
and will complete heal but I just need enough healage
to make it look good when I put on makeup.
So, let me show you guys what it looks like.
Alright guys, here's my face with some makeup on it.
As you can see, it's totally covered,
like it's really looks, you can't tell
unless you got like super close to my face
that I even had zits on my face.
Which is awesome, right?
So, I need you guys to comment below and let me know
what you guys thought of this technique of this video.
Would you guys try this Band-Aid technique with your zits?
Comment and let me know below.
Thank you for letting me do this video
and share this super, super personal thing with you
because I still can't believe that
I did this video for you guys,
but I know it's gonna help a lot of you guys out there.
So that's always my motivation when I think
should I do this video or not, I think
"Oooooo I can help so many people though,
"okay, fine, we'll do it."
So, we'll get back to regular videos next week,
but I wanted to make sure that you guys saw this one
so, thank you, make sure you subscribe and like this video.
Bye guys.
