HOW TO GET RID OF PIMPLES AND BLEMISHES

PIMPLES, BLEMISHES AND ACNE ARE THE MOST UNIVERSAL SKIN CARE COMPLAINTS AND CAN BE A HUGE SOURCE OF EMBARRASSMENT. CONTRARY TO COMMON BELIEF, THIS PROBLEM IS NOT EXCLUSIVE TO TEENS AND ADOLESCENTS. ADULTS OFTEN EXPERIENCE ACNE PROBLEMS AFTER YEARS OF CLEAR SKIN.
TREATMENT OF PIMPLES IS SOMEWHAT TRICKY. WHILE THERE’S NO QUICK, HOMEMADE CURE FOR THOSE UNSIGHTLY BLEMISHES, PUTTING A STOP TO MAJOR BREAKOUTS WILL GREATLY REDUCE YOUR DISCOMFORT AND CHANCE OF SCARRING.
PREVENTION
KEEP YOUR FACE CLEAN AND DON’T OVER SCRUB IT. THIS WILL ONLY IRRITATE YOUR SKIN AND MAKE YOU MORE PRONE TO BREAK OUTS. WASH YOUR FACE GENTLY TWICE A DAY WITH ANTI BACTERIAL OR MILD SOAP, PERHAPS THREE TIMES A DAY FOR ACNE PRONE SKIN. DO NOT USE HARSH SOAPS AND FRAGRANCES AS THEY MIGHT AGGRAVATE PIMPLES.
TO AVOID TRANSFERRING BACTERIA AND GERMS, CLEAN YOUR PILLOW CASE, WASH CLOTHES, TOWELS, MAKE-UP BRUSHES AND APPLICATORS FREQUENTLY. TRY WASHING YOUR MAKE-UP APPLICATORS IN ANTIBACTERIAL SOAP OR CLARIFYING SHAMPOO. KEEP YOUR HAIR CLEAN AND OUT OF YOUR FACE. ALONG THE SAME LINE, KEEP YOUR PHONE MOUTH PIECE AND WRITING INSTRUMENTS AWAY FROM YOUR SHIN AND CLEAN THEM OFTEN.
AVOID WEARING HEAVY MAKE-UP AND ALWAYS WASH IT OFF BEFORE BED. BUY MAKE-UP SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR YOUR SKIN TYPE AND THROW IT AWAY AFTER THE EXPIRATION DATE.
WASH YOUR HANDS FREQUENTLY AND MAKE A CONSCIOUS EFFORT TO AVOID TOUCHING YOUR FACE DURING THE DAYTIME HOURS. THIS IS WHEN YOU’RE MOST LIKELY TO DO IT AND YOU MAY NOT REALIZE THE HABIT.
IT’S BEST TO KEEP YOUR ANXIETY LEVEL DOWN AND GET YOUR BEAUTY REST. WHEN YOU’RE UNDER STRESS, DO NOT NEGLECT YOUR SKIN CARE ROUTINE. TAKE THE TIME FOR PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE OR YOUR PIMPLES WILL RETURN WITH A VENGEANCE.
STOPPING PIMPLES AND BLEMISHES
ACNE PRONE PEOPLE ARE STILL GOING TO EXPERIENCE PIPMLES AND BLEMISHES, EVEN AFTER THE BEST SKIN CARE ROUTINE. AFTER THEY APPEAR, KNOWING HOW TO GET RID OF THEM QUICKLY AND SENSIBLY REDUCES YOUR CHANCES OF SCARRING.
USE THE PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE ABOVE, ALONG WITH SOME PIMPLE DRYING TECHNIQUES TO SHORTEN THE LIFE OF YOUR BLEMISHES AND BREAKOUTS.
IF YOUR SKIN IS OILY, USE A CLEANSER THAT CONTAINS SALICYLIC ACID OR BENZOYL PEROXIDE TO START THE DRYING PROCESS. IF YOUR EXPERIENCING ONE OF THOSE PAINFUL “UNDER THE SKIN, CYSTIC” PIMPLES, PUT A WARM COMPRESS ON IT TO DRAIN IT FIRST, THEN DRY IT UP WITH BENZOYL PEROXIDE.
THERE ARE RIGHT AND WRONG WAYS TO EXTRACT BREAKOUTS. SOMETIMES IT MAKES YOU MORE PRONE TO SCARRING AND SKIN DISCOLORATION; HOWEVER IT IS THE FASTEST WAY TO DRAIN IT. PLEASE ASK YOUR DERMATOLOGIST OR ESTHETICIAN FOR THE PROPER WAY TO DO EXTRACTIONS.
IF BLEMISHES PERSIST, SCARRING NEEDS TO BE PREVENTED AND THERE ARE MANY USEFUL PRODUCTS TO PUT A STOP TO RECURRING ACNE AND PIMPLES. IF YOUR BLEMISH IS GONE AND YOU STILL HAVE SOME DISCOLORATION BUT NO SCAR, DON’T FRET. CHANCES ARE IT WILL FADE WITH TIME.
TREATING ACNE AND PIMPLES ON YOUR BACK
WHILE ALL OF THE ABOVE HOME REMEDIES ARE AFFECTIVE FOR PIMPLES, THERE’S NO DOUBT, THE BACK IS THE HARDEST PLACE TO TREAT WITHOUT SOME HELP. INVEST IN A GOOD BACK SCRUBBER TO GET THE AREAS YOU CANT REACH IN THE SHOWER AND ALWAYS USE CLEAN DRY TOWELS.
ASK FOR SOME HELP TO APPLY A BENZOYL PEROXIDE OINTMENT AFTER EVERY SHOWER. KEEP YOUR BED SHEETS AND MATTRESS PAD CLEAN.
