Managing Breakouts Can Be A Total Pain; On The One Hand, You Want To Shorten The Life Of The Pimple As Quickly As Possible, On The Other Hand You Don’t Want To Look Too Crazy Doing It, Which Means Toothpaste And Most Pimple Creams Are Out If You Need To Leave The House!
Luckily, Korean Beauty companies are as obsessed with creating products to deal with breakouts as we are with getting rid of them!
Pimple patches are light аnd thin patches made out of hydrocolloid. This kind of material is usually used in hospitals for the treatment of wounds.
When used in pimple patches, the hydrocolloid patch offers an intensive care for blemishes, targeting several key concerns.
First, they protect the damaged skin from external pollutants. They also assist in absorbing any pus (which is an issue for pimples that have ‘heads’). The patches also assist to prevent secondary infections, as well as minimise scarring.
Importantly for those of us that have better things to do than deal with pimples, Subi’s pimple patches offer a protective shield that blocks the skin off so that you can apply makeup without further aggravating problem breakouts.
Using pimple patches also make pimples look less obvious, which is always a win in our books!
How Do You Use Them?
1 Wash аnd соmрlеtеlу dry your target аrеа (read: pimple!)
2 Remove the film frоm thе расkеt аnd apply the spot patch dirесtlу tо thе pimple.
3 Onсе thе раtсh turns whitе, rеmоvе it аnd аррlу аnоthеr patch in itѕ рlасе.
Tips:
Aim tо uѕе 1 раtсh реr dау until the pimple has gone.
Why Are They So Good?
If you get pimples in hard-to-reach places (like the side of the nose or around your mouth) then these are your patches. The thinness, stickiness and absorptive powers of Subi’s patches means they stay in place long enough to effectively tackle the pimples that other patches can’t.
