Covering acne with facial hair
I have found that a good way to hide facial blemishes is to let your beard grow out. If you can grow a thick enough beard and you don’t mind leaving it grown out, it can really help hide un-clear skin. When you have some facial hair, it makes you look a little more scruffy. A few blemishes or a little acne can typically go unnoticed when you have your facial hair grown out. However, when you are completely clean shaved, every little blemish will stand out. If you are going for the “clean” look and you have acne, your blemishes will really be pronounced.
I still get a few zits here and there. If I have a few zits, I just don’t bother to shave for a few days until they go away. The times that I do shave when I have acne, I run into a few problems. First, my skin is less smooth, so I run the risk of cutting myself while shaving. Second, you can really see the blemishes a whole lot better after you shave. I feel like they are really accented right after I shave.
The moral of the story is to let your facial hair grow out to hide your acne.
