Instant Invisible Zit Zapper

Yes, we are old. Yes, we still get zits.

Hello, Gorgeous!

Last week I received an email from a reader who was horrified by the way a blemish seemed magnified while she was on a Zoom meeting. Darla said that she became so fixated on the giant zit on her nose that she was convinced that everyone else noticed the pimple and not the presentation. First off, they did not. They were each too focused on their own flyaway hair or shiny foreheads to pay much attention to any zits on her face.

That said, next time you have a Zoom scheduled, set up your laptop or phone camera or lighting in advance and test out your set up to ensure there are no future pore-related surprises. And maybe keep some S.O.S. from Patchology handy.

Patchology S.O.S. Totally-Invisible Clarifying Liquid Patch Serum

If you’ve ever felt like your nose or T-zone could use an instant blurring, you should check this out. It’s not really a gel or a patch, but rather a gel-to-patch treatment that seems to calm breakouts and even fade acne scars or discolorations. And unlike patches, you apply an extremely thin layer under makeup, then let it dry and you’re good to go. This is my favorite (new) go-to for my perpetually shiny nose ($22, anthropologie.com).

Do you still battle breakouts? Let’s meet in the comments to discuss!
