Pimples
Pimples have a way of popping up at the worst time, like say, the day before your wedding. To prevent the likelihood of pimples, make sure you cleanse your face morning and night, wipe off any excess with a toner (Our favorite skin care is Antipodes which is organic), drink plenty of water and get lots of sleep.
