hey guys how you going and it's Jess
here and today I really want to talk
about something which is actually highly
requested and that is how to reduce the
redness that you get on your face from
active acne of course I am having a
terrific breakout right now which is
perfect so I thought that this will be a
great time to show you 3 different ways
that you can reduce redness - which are
pretty much instant and one of which is
long term so the first way is to use ice
cubes the reason that ice works is
because it's something that can help to
slow down the blood circulation and
therefore it can help to reduce the
swelling all you need to do is put a
single ice cube in either a thin piece
of cloth like a tea towel or you can use
some thick paper towel this will have to
stay on your face for between 3 to 5
minutes I like to send timer so that I
know what's going on and then you just
wait
pretty much personally I like to listen
to some music so that's what I am doing
also I like to check my Instagram
hint-hint
go follow me on insta anyway let's move
on so what do I do next
oh yeah once you take this off your face
you will see that your skin is a little
bit red because it's had that cold ice
right on it like that but it will be a
little bit smoother and the actual
inflammation of the pimple will be
reduced this next tip is a little bit of
a weird one it is using eye drops
yes eyedrops well they are used to
remove redness from your eyes and they
do a similar thing for the spots on your
face but please remember to use this tip
sparingly put a little bit of the
eyedrops onto a q-tip or a cotton tip
and then places gently on your face but
only on the spot that you need to treat
leave this on there for a couple of
minutes I ended up treating a couple of
spots on my face during this time
after a few minutes take away the q-tip
get rid of it you really don't want that
anymore and you will see that your skin
is a little bit less red around those
angry spots now while those last two
tips were something you can do in the
morning this is something you need to do
at night and that is applying aloe vera
gel aloe vera is fantastic for taking
away that inflammation and really
calming the skin it also helps with acne
scarring so that's also a concern for
you then definitely check this tip out
all you need to do is just gently
massage it into your face and you can
use this over your whole face and also
down your neck it's also excellent for
fine lines and wrinkles so you can use
this around your eyes so they are my
three main tips to reduce redness on the
face caused by acne thank you so much
for tuning in and liking this video it
means a lot to me I'll catch y'all next
Wednesday see you later now since I'm
not planning on getting Botox anytime
soon I've started to really look after
my eyes as part of my nighttime routine
