Spots Du Jour 6.30.09


Soooo...something is rotten in the state of denmark (with my skin). I do not know what is up, I have been trying a few new skincare and make up products and I got a few spots on my face. Uh Oh!! Anyway, when the pimples come out I turn to my tried, true and trusty HG of acne relief.

Mario Badescu...amazing stuff. HG of all time is the drying lotion. I am sure you have all seen this and heard of it. Honestly, most things that are hyped up do not work. This is not the case with the dryng lotion.

This stuff will dry up and eradicate a pimple over night. My boyfriend even loves it.
How you use it? You dip a q-tip into the bottom sediment, DO NOT SHAKE. Put the sediment onto the spot, go to sleep, wake up with a healed spot and if not healed 75% smaller and less red or painful.

I ran out of this awhile ago and soon as I saw these spots pop up, I called Mario Badescu salon in NYC and had them messenger this "acne repair kit" downtown to my office. I couldn't wait!
I even paid the 8$ messenger charge!

This kit includes the Drying Cream which is for daytime wear under makeup. It has the Drying Lotion, what I mentioned above, you can not wear this during the daytime, you will have pink spots (this is more for white head type pimples, larger spots) Lastly it also includes the buffering Lotion which is used for cystic acne, the painful bumps that are under your skin and can not be popped or anything like that!

Drying Cream, Drying Lotion, Buffering Lotion

I look so pretty!!
Trying to get a pic of my boyfriend with his spots on....he will not allow it clearly!!

PS- I have the cutest boyfriend in the world, probably. I would be hard pressed to find someone as cute as he!
What is your pimple/spot remedy?

  1. I dont think they have mario Badescu in the UK but ive been eyeing up the buffering lotion for a long time as I tend to get cystic acne on my forehead..eww and painful.

    Ive been using a cream from my GP since I was 15 and 5 years later its still does the trick (obviously it is not the same cream as that would b kinda gross)...toothpaste is also a good remedy and facial masks once a week :D

  3. Oooh, I've been wanting to try the Drying Lotion for a while.

    Right now, I use yogurt and honey or yogurt and powdered aspirin for masks and tea tree oil.

  4. I just got my sample kit and I love it!!!! LOVE IT! lol. I tried the drying cream on my chin {where I get most of my acne} and the spot were gone! It doesn't do much for blackheads, but they work wonders for those annoying spots. ;p
