Love it: Holy
Zit!
That’s the name of an on-the-spot acne treatment we love
from Spa Cadet. There’s also Booty 911,
a bump buster for your bum; Busta Grime, a camphor
cleanser that keeps skin smooth; Grand-Masta Splash,
a toner and exfoliant packed with alpha hydroxy and beta hydroxy
acids; and Nuttin But a “B” Thang face
cream, rich with Vitamin B, a vitamin essential in fighting
blemishes. We were initially put off by the collection’s
kitschy packaging, but found the goods inside to be solid gold.
Looks may be deceiving, but great looking skin is impossible
to mistake. Shop the collection, priced from $26 to $37, online
at spacadet.com.
Leave it: Clearasil Ultra Vanishing Acne Treatment
Cream
The only thing that vanished after using Clearasil’s
Ultra Vanishing Acne Treatment Cream was the 10 bucks
we dished out for this drugstore product. The product
did not deliver on its promise of “clearer skin in just
3 days.” The active ingredient, 10% Benzoyl Peroxide
is, however, sure to suck the moisture out of your skin in
72 hours or less!
 Love
it: Deglazing Mask from emerginC
When cooking, deglazing involves dissolving the small particles
of meat that stick to the bottom of the pan. We can’t
help but conjure this apropos image every time we apply emerginC’s
Deglazing Mask, a clay-based facial mask that
promises to rapidly improve problem skin. Designed for adult
breakouts — like the ones we all get at that
time of the month-- the mask calls upon ingredients such as
calamine and chamomile to remove dead skin cells, absorb excess
oil, and reduce redness. Leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes
and apply up to three times a week; available online for $40
at emerginc.com.
On the spot treaments that are actually spot on...
