Want amaze skin fast? Our five-day clear complexion checklist awaits
OK, full disclosure: There's no magic trick to instantly get a flawless complexion (and if you've heard of one, pls do us a favor and spill!).
But here's the good news: It's v. possible to visibly improve the look of your skin—plus beat even the toughest acne flare-ups—quickly with healthy habits and a holy grail product (hi, Zapzyt).
Keep reading for our Clear Skin Cal, packed with tips and tricks for getting your glow on in five days flat (and chances are you'll already notice a difference by the end of Day One). Fresh-faced, here you come…
Monday: Snag an effective spot treatment.
Forgo 10-step skincare smoothies in favor of something simple: a gentle cleanser, an unscented moisturizer and, most importantly, an acne treatment that's derm-recommended. Zapzyt's treatment gel works undercover wonders on pimples, plus it instantly vanishes deep into your pores to ~zap~ away dark marks or red spots in less than five hours.
Tuesday: Snack on the right foods.
Nourishing your complexion can be as easy (and delicious) as prepping the perfect bite. Antioxidant-rich fruits (think: blueberries, blackberries or cherries) and juicy watermelon already hit different in July—but it turns out they may be able to give your skin a boost too! A sweet, refreshing snack that promotes happy skin? We call that a win-win.
Wednesday: Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.
PSA: Your emotional support water bottle should be clocking overtime this summer. Drinking lots of H2O (approx. 8-10 cups per day) is essential for head-to-toe health…and that includes your face.
On top of toting your Stanley 24/7, make sure your refilling-chugging-repeating doesn't go to waste by checking that your go-to skincare products aren't secretly drying you out. Choosing water-based formulas rather than alcohol-based can help soothe thirsty skin.
Thursday: Find an SPF that *actually* works.
Your new beauty mantra: Sunscreen all day, every day. One of the keys to achieving radiant skin is protecting said skin from catching too many rays in the form of harmful UV exposure.
Go with a for-your-face formula that's sweat-resistant and 30 SPF or higher as the final step in your routine. Add your fave shades, and you're ready to take on the sunshine.
Friday: Chill on the skin picking.
When that mid-afternoon boredom strikes, it can be ultra tempting to touch problem areas on your face. Absentmindedly poking, prodding or (gasp!) popping zits when you're scrolling your feed or lounging by the pool can bring oil and grime where it doesn't belong.
One strat to bust the bad habit? Keep a tube of Zapzyt within reach. When you feel your fingers floating to your face, apply a dab of treatment gel instead of picking at the spot. Because it's non-irritating and gentle, you can use it up to three times a day on breakouts and even apply preventatively to keep future blemishes at bay. Buh-bye bacteria, hello clear skin.
