Patience is a virtue, so the saying goes. It probably is. But in day to day life, being patient is terrible. We don’t even like waiting for a pizza, so the reality that a lot of premium skin care products take weeks, even months to start having any effect can be disheartening, to say the least. Good things do, in fact, come to those who wait. But sometimes waiting just isn’t an option. If you need to look your best today, here are the quick fixes you can rely on for common skin problems.

Angry red blemishes

Nothing says important day at the office like a brand new stress pimple. Before you go tapping on your concealer, take some time while still bare-faced to ice your blemish. Just a minute or so at a time so you don’t damage the delicate skin on your face. Ice will target the inflammation of your skin imperfection and flatten it out, making it less noticeable and easier to conceal.

Under-eye bags

Don’t put the ice away just yet. If you have a long night that looks like it’s going to be followed by a long morning thanks to the puffy bags under your eyes, a little bit of ice (or a pair of spoons stuck in the freezer for a few minutes) is just what you need to de-stress and de-puff. Just like with blemishes, the burst of cold will reduce the inflammation of under-eye bags so you can look refreshed, even if you aren’t.

Wrinkles

No, we’re not magicians. That doesn’t mean we don’t have an instant fix for deep wrinkles. The Dead Sea Premier Ageless Future Deep Wrinkle Filler is an injectable wrinkle treatment designed for easy use in your own home. It takes a two-pronged approach to diminishing wrinkles and lines: smoothing the surface skin, and inserting collagen liposomes to fill in the wrinkle.
