Comments on: How to Treat Pimples

on 11/22/2005 Clean your face first, then use rubbing alcohol to rub over affected areas. This dries the pimples up and they are gone within 2 or 3 days.

on 11/22/2005 I have had acne for so long and tried so many products. Including Proactive, and honestly it didn't work. Proactive tried to sell me other products in order to help with my acne, but it also didn't help. So I had to cancel my subscription. Proactive is not for everyone.

on 11/22/2005 Dab lemon juice on your face in the morning. Your pimples shrink after a few days of use.

on 11/22/2005 To get that pimple away, just wash your face twice a day, treat it with whatever works best for you, but don't go all crazy and put lots of stuff on it, it will just irritate your skin and dry it. Your zit needs some breathing too, so it could heal naturally. Everyone of us get pimples, you're not the first, don't stress even more. Try to not pop it, that could make it even more red. And remember to always eat healthy food, drink a lot of water, exercise, and relax. All of these things will make your skin feel and look better.

on 11/22/2005 Take Clorox and put it only on the pimples that aren't popped (it may cause burning on popped pimples). Don't put a lot of Clorox on, it will make a scar. Just put a little on a Q-tip. The pimple will be gone in 2-3 days.

on 11/22/2005 Try putting toothpaste on your pimples. Once a day, put a bit of toothpaste on your pimple and leave it for about half an hour then wash it off. Your pimples should be gone in a few days.

on 11/22/2005 Get a washcloth and get it really hot with water, put it on the pimple that you want to pop for around 15-30 seconds. If the rag gets cold, then after 15 seconds warm it again and do it until it starts to cool down again. Then pop the pimple. It doesn't leave scars and it really works. :)

on 11/22/2005 Tea tree oil does really work for you acne! I've only used it for 2 days and already my pores look a lot smaller. Just make sure when you buy it, that it's 100% pure oil!

on 11/22/2005 Go to your local gym (or your basement if you're lucky), and get in the sauna. Stay in there for an hour, just make sure that the sweat is actually dripping off your nose when you look down. Take a shower and throughly wash your face immediately. If you skip this step I don't think you're helping anything. While you're there, consider popping it to speed things along even more.

Sleep for the night. By the next day it should be considerably smaller. The day after it should be gone.

on 11/22/2005 For one week I ate nothing but fruits, vegetables and nuts. I ate no meat or sugar and I drank a ton of water. There was a dramatic difference, almost all my zits were gone! No matter how sick you get of not having meat or sugar, remember it is for the best and it is only for a week.

on 11/22/2005 First I wash my makeup off with Clean and Clear's foaming acne wash, then I steam my face, and wash it once more. Then I break open about 2 vitamin E capsules and smooth them over my face, and by the time morning comes, my face has really cleared up.

on 11/22/2005 Most teenagers get pimples, so don't be let down by that. The common pimple is red with a white center. Myself and 8 of my friends tested spraying deodorant on the pimples. It reduces swelling and blends the spot in with the rest of your skin (due to the white powder in the deodorant). Deodorant, the only thing you need. It leaves you smelling great and pimple free!

on 11/22/2005 I use Proactiv and it works wonderfully for me. I had pretty bad acne before and then I started using it, now I only get one or two around the time of my period and that is it. I even was skeptical and stopped using it for a while to see if my skin was OK without it, and I started breaking out again. It is a little costly and it doesn't work for everyone, but it is great and it really does work for many people.

on 11/22/2005 Any tea tree oil product works great to fight nasty blemishes! It's basically the only thing that removes
and keeps away blemishes. The Body Shop has fantastic tea tree oil products, which I've tried myself. Different varities like foaming face washes or blemish sticks are foolproof methods of getting rid of nasty breakouts for good! If you don't believe me then try for yourself! I'll bet it'll be the best face cleanser that you've ever bought. Remember though that tea tree oil is a very harsh substance so if you have delicate skin that dries out then be sure to start with a product that has the lowest tea tree oil rate. If you don't know what that is it's always a good idea to ask a professional, or the salesclerk even! Hope this helps!

on 11/22/2005 Pour some hot water into a bowl, and take a towel and put the towel over your head while you set your face over the hot water. It helps make your skin smoother. What also works is if you place a tea bag with in the water.
