When going out in the middle of a pandemic, you do not want to lunge around a big beauty bag. Gone are the days when you would feel the need to have at least a dozen of lipstick shades in your purse, so you can have space for hand sanitizer, alcohol, and an extra mask.

But this does not mean you should already leave your beauty kit at home. Instead, you should have an emergency beauty kit composed of beauty essentials you will NEED in this COVID-19 new normal.

Having a mask on your face is good - it's for the safety of everyone. It does not make sense to leave your mask at home just because you want to show off your new lipstick, no matter how pretty the shade is.

One thing about mask though is that it can cause irritation on the skin if worn far too long. The last thing you want is to have your lower face covered and some acne sprouting all over not just in the covered area but also those in the visible one. Sadly, if that happens, you would not have legit blush and lipstick combo to distract people away from your zits.

This is where Avarelle Acne Absorbing Cover Patch comes it. It has all natural and all good ingredients of hydrocolloid, tea tree, calendula oil and cica.

It can blend in with all skin tones so if you are breaking out, just place them in the infected area, blend, and you are good to go. Once you remove them, you'll see your acnes smaller and drier, or even gone!
