The Lowest-Tech Breakout Fix Is Also the Best
Acne is often frustratingly mysterious in its causes. This weekend, however, perhaps emboldened by the crisp air, I slathered on face oil after face oil—a little gives you such a glow, I reasoned, why not just keep going?—and of course broke out horribly.
I've already converted nearly everyone I know to the Umbrian Clay Mask by Fresh (the tube, not the bar, which crumbles): It is the quickest spot treatment known to man. Yet I forget, weirdly, when it comes to my own face. After a few days of suffering, I remembered, put on the Umbrian Clay before going to bed, and woke up with every breakout (as I say, I had really gone crazy with the oil) all but erased. Everyone except the most perfect-skinned should stock this in their medicine cabinet. It's as close to magic as it gets.
