Get Rid Of Your Problem Pimples With These Tips

By Angela Levine


Pimples is by far the most embarrassing aspect of being a teenager. For most teens, it can be the bane of their existence. Fortunately, there are many things you can do to prevent major outbreaks. Here are just a few tips that you can use to get those pesky and embarrassing zits under control.

Avoid spreading pimples by not popping or forcing your pimples to drain. If you pop your pimples, you are spreading the very infection that causes the breakouts. This infection then spreads to other parts of your face causing more breakouts in more areas. Popping zits also can cause unnecessary redness, swelling and permanent scarring, so it's best to leave them be and let them go away on their own or with zits medication.

Your hormones can cause your pimples. This can be especially true if you're a teen. This is the body's way of letting you know that it is going through constant chemical changes. Many teens do grow out of this phase once they are past puberty though. However, if you're older, this can last for years and be caused by hormonal issues. It may be wise to seek a physician or dermatologist for advice.

Try using strawberries to combat your zits outbreaks. Some people have some success using facial masks to prevent or even get rid of pimples. Try making strawberries into a face mask. Puree and mix them with a bit of sour cream. Leave it on for a few minutes before washing it off. Repeat the process weekly.

Sometimes natural skin care remedies can be used in the place of strong ointments for skin care. Lemons are a great natural zits treatment. Lemons act as an astringent that can shrink acne due to its high acid level. It can also reduce oil levels in the skin. Just apply lemon juice to the skin and let it work for 15 minutes, then wash off, and you'll see effective results.

Add a dab of toothpaste onto a stubborn zit before you go to bed at night. The toothpaste will dry out during the night, drying the zit along with it. Make sure that you first clean and pat dry the area before applying and always use toothpaste and not a gel.

Egg whites provide a great natural remedy to zits. Simply break an egg or two and separate the whites from the yolks. Lightly beat the whites until bubbles start forming. Apply the egg whites lightly to the skin as a mask or strictly to affected areas and let sit for about an hour, then rinse afterwards. The egg whites tighten skin and dries existing zits.

To help rid your face of acne exercise regularly. Exercise can help reduce your stress level. It also works to increase your blood circulation and the oxygen penetration to your skin. These factors, along with a clean face, will help keep your face clear of blemishes and blackheads.

Avoid environmental pollutants as much as possible. The air pollution around us from cars, factories, and construction can take a toll on your skin. Avoiding environmental exposure and taking time to wash your face after being exposed can help to keep your acne at bay. If you live in a larger metropolitan area, this can be much more important.

Something very important to keep in mind about skin care is to not use too much makeup. It clogs the pores of your skin, making it more difficult for your skin to breathe, and exacerbates blackheads, whiteheads, and other inflammation. It is best to wear as little as you can.

Often foods will be the culprit of the acne that you have on your skin. If you notice that a specific food is causing your pimples, try to limit it as much as possible. Ice cream, milk, cheese and other dairy products have been shown to increase zits.

If you have an important function to attend and your pimples is really making your life a living nightmare, do not fret. To help conceal your current outbreak, apply ice cubes to your blemishes. The ice will not heal the acne, but it will aid in concealing it. By applying ice cubes for approximately two minutes, you can the reduce the swelling and the redness of your blemishes.

To prevent acne, avoid sugary products. Sugary foods and drinks can increase insulin levels which leads to increased levels of male hormones. These male hormones encourage the body to released higher levels of sebum, which in turn causes zits. Also, foods high in carbohydrates should be avoided. They also increase zits.

Once you have decided to do something for yourself to get rid of the zits that you have gotten fed up with you can clear yourself of acne and feel better over all about yuor life.
