Comments on How to Treat Pimples

I have acne. This is what I do - I use a face wash of oatmeal and honey with some cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. I put the ingredients in the microwave for 10 seconds then let it sit until cooled. I apply my oatmeal paste to my face and wait 20 minutes. I then rinse it off and I have a smooth, clean face. I then let egg whites mixed with baking soda sit on my face for 10 minutes. This drastically helps reduce pimple size.

All you have to do is take a washcloth or towel and run it under hot water. Then place it wherever the pimple is. The steam makes the pimple smaller. Trust me, it works!

Exercise. Sweat. Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Keep active enough to shed a little water. Sure you can scour the outside of your skin, but it does good to wash it from the inside every once in a while. Aerobics, dancing, biking, hiking, lifting weights, anything that makes you melt with perspiration will keep things running smoothly.

I've tried so much stuff for acne but this helped mine and I hope it helps yours. First gently scrub your face with St. Ives face wash. I know it looks bad, but it works. Then dab the water off of your face. If you rub the water off with a towel then it is only putting more germs in your pores. Finally, with a cosmetic pad or cotton swab, apply rubbing alcohol on your face. Do not apply a lot of alcohol because and can dry out your face, you can apply it every other day.

I've had acne for a year and I use to touch my pimples and it left acne scars. Acne scars aren't good because you have to suffer for a long time. Try to ignore your pimples. It works!

Steam your face twice a day. After steaming, wash with luke warm water, then a splash of cold water to close pores. Then apply some sudo cream and leave it. It works every time! Drink lots of water - it speeds up getting rid of spots.

Put toothpaste on your pimples, but make sure it doesn't have flouride in it. Flouride will just give you more pimples. Also, if you do a lot of cardiovascular exercise (like running or anything that gets your heart pumping), it will help your skin a lot.

I recently tried Clinique face soap, my family used it also. They have all said it gets worse before it gets better. I'm coming out of the worst stage, and things are getting better. I hope Clinique face soap works for you like it is for me. :)

Everything I have ever used on my pimples has made my face worse and dried out. Then I used Bioré Ice cleanser. It works great, you can actually fell it working!

Take a cucumber and grate it. Apply it to your face for 30 minutes. Your pimples will reduce and you will have clear skin. It works for me! Best of luck.

From my personal experience, the way you live and what you eat really does affect your skin. I'm on Minocin, which was great at first as it controlled my spots and allowed my face to heal, but then one night after going out to a friend's 18th birthday party and working 3 days nonstop, I had another outbreak! So my advice to those of you who happen to live a life where you're constantly checking the mirror is to drink plenty of water, eat healthy, and sleep, sleep, sleep! This gives your skin time to heal. Try antibiotics by all means, but they vary among people. Don't keep washing your face as this will dry your skin out. It might make you feel better at the time as redness is fading, but this will encourage your oil glands to secrete sebum which will make your face feel greasy again. PLEASE don't wash again as irritation will just come back and hit you where it hurts (on your face), for everyone to see! Good luck dudes!

1.) Get out a cotton swab and some toothpaste 2.) Put a dab of toothpaste on the cotton swab and apply it to your pimples. 3.) Keep the toothpaste on for 3 hours, or until it gets really hard (you don't have to sleep with this on your face if you don't want to). 4.) Take a lukewarm washcloth and remove the toothpaste. Trust me, this works! :)

I have discovered an amazing way to get rid of pimples when they appear (and keep them from re-appearing). When you first feel a pimple or whitehead forming under the skin, ice it! It will shrink, and it might vanish. If not, apply baking soda and lemon juice to it immediately, and keep reapplying this mixture in the morning and before bed. If a pimple has already popped, put Polysporin on it. This stuff works great! I had a pimple that popped, and I kept putting Polysporin on it. It completely went away in 2 days. There are no scars. Make sure you buy the triple-action vitamin E enriched Polysporin (for around 7 or 8 dollars). It is really worth it! Remember to drink lots of water, eat your fruits and vegetables, and choose foods with iron, fiber and zinc in them. Whatever you do, don't pick or try to pop a pimple. This will only make it worse (and lead to scarring). Do not use lots of products. I find that if you steam your face at least twice a week, clean your face each morning with a mild cleanser, and apply a mud mask every other day, your pimples will go away. You don't need to buy all of that expensive stuff. However, if your acne is really bad, seek a doctor's help.

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.

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!

If you have a whitehead, the best thing to do is not to use your fingernails! Use a needle to release the pressure, then gently squeeze out the puss. Afterward, wash your face with cold water. Using a needle basically lowers the pressure, and greatly lowers the chance of the blood rushing to the pimple, which makes it really red!

Before you go to bed every night, spread on cold or room temperature aloe vera. It disinfects and heals naturally. Also, don't wash your face with too much soap. You can just use warm water and rinse cold and it won't irritate your skin!

Calamine lotion dries out the pimple and makes it smaller. With a cotton ball, dab a little all over the pimple until it's covered. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then wash it off.

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!

Wash your face with a mild soap. Use a clean warm steamy washcloth to open pores, and rub in an antibacterial cream, like neosporian or triple bacterial fighting ointment and leave on over night. Then in the morning wash and steam your face but after steaming don't apply cream rub with ice cubes, they really close pores.. Two other tips are DRINK LOTS OF WATER and KEEP YOUR HAND OFF YOUR FACE > that includes no picking, scratching, popping, or leaning on your oily hands.

If you have a lot of pimples or reccuring acne, the best thing to do is to wash your face with an exfoliant in the morning, and a light skin cleanser in the evening. During the day, if your skin starts to feel oily, drink a bottle of water or wipe your face with an alcohol pad. Before you got to bed each night, rub acne cream on the area where the pimples are located. It is best to use a cream with 7% (or higher) benzoyl peroxide.

Go to sleep with your facial cleanser on. Your pimples will definitely be smaller (or gone) by morning.

I was skeptical about this whole toothpaste thing, but I decided to give it a try. The morning after trying it, the places where I had broken out the day before were noticeably smaller and less- noticeable. Now my pimples aren't noticeable at all!

Just ignore it and it will go away. However, if you see that pus is forming inside and you are really eager to squeeze it, wait a couple of days until it gets bigger. Estimate the force of the squeeze you are going to apply. The "riper" the pimple, the gentler the squeeze you are going to need. This will make the pimple less prone to scarring. If you aren't that eager and you are scared of getting scars, just wait until it pops by itself.

To have healthy skin, there are a number of things needed. First, a good diet is needed. Get all your vitamins. For the skin, use a cleanser, toner and moisturizer. Use an exfoliant twice a week, then a mask and facial massage once a week.
