Don't you hate it when those pimples keep popping up on your face? Whatever you do, the acne doesn't seem to go away? How do you get rid of pimples in the first place? Let's start with the immediate problem.
The pimples that are already on your face.
First, kill the bacteria that causes the infection.
After all, pimples are a sign of inflamed pores, infected by acne bacteria gone wild.
Do that with a pimple treatment that kills the bacteria.
Most pharmacies sell pimple treatments.
These typically contain benzoyl peroxide or tea tree oil.
Benzoyl peroxide gets rid of the bacteria by forcing oxygen into the pores.
Acne bacteria can't thrive in oxygen-rich environments, so benzoyl peroxide makes the pore inhospitable to the acne bacteria.
As the bacteria dies off, the inflammation goes down.
You can find pretty affordable acne treatments containing benzoyl peroxide in the pharmacy.
Tea tree oil is a natural remedy that kills bacteria outright, without harming the skin.
Some people may be sensitive to tea tree oil but it works well for most people.
To use, dab a drop of tea tree oil on each pimple every 3 to 4 hours.
Another surefire way to kill the acne bacteria is to see a doctor, who would probably prescribe a round of antibiotics to kill the bacteria outright.
You don't have to see a skin specialist.
Your family doctor should be able to help you with your pimple problem.
Pimples begin when pores get clogged up with dead skin, oil and dirt.
The debris in the pore is an excellent breeding ground for acne bacteria.
Use a deep cleansing mask weekly to clean up your pores.
For a homemade mask, mix pure kaolin powder with witch hazel and apply the paste on your already washed face daily.
Let it dry completely before rinsing it off.
What caused your pimple breakout in the first place? Is it your diet? Or could it be hormonal imbalance? Or stress? Take note of what you eat and do, and how stressed you are, just before the pimples break out.
Do the pimples only appear just prior to your period? Do you find that you get pimples after eating certain foods? Do pimples pop up as you are pressing to meet a deadline? Adopt a healthy lifestyle.
Eat plenty of fruit and veggies.
Stay away from junk food.
Destress.
