Continuously fussing with a blemish that is trying to heal may seem like the right thing to do, but unless there is cracking in the skin and a need to keep moisturizing the skin, it is better to let the skin form an outer layer of it's own natural oils. When you keep applying any lotion, you disturb the natural oils of the skin and the oxygen interaction. A very good way of healing blemishes is NUTRITION (enriches the blood). Vegetable juice is VERY good for healing skin problems. When I get a cut on my hands in the warehouse, I drink a can of V8 and another can when I go home and sometimes in the morning I cannot find the cut. Sometimes I will also spread some of the V8 on the cut and it will heal faster (it's the protein). Let the body heal itself.
