- I tend to break out around my period and in times of stress, as most people do. I have found it a lot simpler and very relaxing to come home from work, wash off my makeup, and pat my face with a warm compress (washcloth). The heat draws the icky stuff to the surface, making the healing process go a lot faster. I like to think of it as dangling a carrot in front of the ick instead of forcing it out and traumatizing my skin and my stress levels.
