Getting Rid of Pimples – Top 10 Tips
Ready for a quick read? Here are the Top Ten Tips for getting rid of pimples!
1. Don’t touch! The oils on your hand can clog pores and follicles and create or worsen acne.
Keep your hands off your face and other parts of your body that are prone to getting zits. And if you’re in the habit of touching your face without realizing it, make sure you keep your hands clean at all times.
2. Eat a balanced diet! Keeping to a low-fat diet may help keep acne at bay, as may eating a good balance of fruits and veggies, lean protein, and high-fiber whole carbohydrates. There’s no proof of this, but it couldn’t hurt, could it?
3. Cleanse daily! Or twice daily. Don’t use soap…body soaps and hand soaps have ingredients that may clog pores or irritate your face. Instead, buy a cleanser that’s especially made for getting rid of pimples.
4. Moisturize! It may seem counterintuitive, but I don’t mean put oil on your face. Good moisturizers are oil-free and non-comedogenic (meaning they don’t clog pores). Moisturize twice a day to keep skin supple and healthy.
5. Treat from within! If acne is an ongoing problem, use a supplement that’s meant to help you get rid of it. Acnezine is a good choice to consider.
6. Change your sheets often! Really! Your pillowcase is a harbor of oils from your face and hands. Change it several times a week if you’re having problems clearing up your zits.
7. Remove your make-up! Don’t sleep in make-up. This is a well-known, but often-ignored, trick for keeping zits away. Make-up will contribute to acne if you keep it on all night.
8. Don’t pick, squeeze, or pop your pimples! You may be contributing to infection, spreading the acne, and creating sores that take longer to heal if you pop your blackheads or whiteheads. As tempting as it is, just leave them alone!
9. Wash gently! When you cleanse your face, don’t scrub with a sponge or washcloth. Use the pads of your fingers, and rub in a gentle, circular motion. Scrubbing irritates already irritated skin.
10. Be patient. Be very, very patient. With the proper care, the last ingredient for getting rid of pimples is time.
