Clear Your Skin: Food To Avoid For Clearer Skin

Did you know that what you eat directly affects whether or not you get acne?!

It's true. After many many years of suffering from acne I found this truth out. Some food causes acne. Some don't cause acne. Some fight against acne.

But it took me many years to find out this and apply it to my life so that I would no longer suffer from acne.

So what food causes the worst acne?

Vegetable oil!

This specific type of oil is a common ingredient in modern food. It is found in some sauces like pasta sauce and curry sauces. Not all but some. So check the ingredients label before buying these sauces. Vegetable oil is also found in a lot of junk food like cookies (biscuits) and chips (crisps), not to mention as a cooking oil.

Eliminate vegetable oil from your diet.

But why does vegetable oil cause acne?

It causes homonal imbalance that leads to serious inflammation and results in acne. Vegetable oil is actually the cause of your worst acne, so cutting it out of your diet will get rid of those really nasty cysts.

I personally experienced an amazing clear up after 'quitting' vegetable oil. I suggest you do the same. First, find out as much as you can about it. Find out which foods you eat contain vegetable oil. Find alternatives to ones with vegetable oil in it. And watch as your skin clears up.

Natural Facial Peel - Your Natural Acne Treatment

Facial peels are a way to remove acne, acne scars, wrinkles, age spots, and other skin surface problems, but before you go and pay $99 to $299 for your next chemical facial peel from a spa or doctors office, here's some facts about the horrific dangers of these procedures, and more importantly what the safe, natural and more effective alternative may be...

A chemical facial peel is the process of a doctor, or esthetician applying a burning acid to your face and neck. Facial peels are a fruit acid that literally burns the dead skin off your face so a new layer of skin can take it's place.

The problem with fruit acid peels is that acid is insensitive to dead and living cells. It can't tell the difference between cells that are actually dead, and need to be removed from the face and the living, acive and growing cells that, if burned can cause permanent scarring, inflammation, and other painful side effects.

Acid peels do just what they promise to do, they literally burn the skin. the dead skin on the surface of your face is called the corneum. Underneath the corneum is a layer of the skin called the basal cell layer. The basal cell layer is a layer of skin where new skin cells are born and actively growing. If too much damage is done to this precious layer of skin visible scarring can occur.

Acid facial peels are insensitive to this layer of skin. Although they do remove the corneum they can, and often do burn some of the basal cell layer. When acid is applied to the face you literally attack the skin, and the basal cells, feeling the attack, clump together in a desperate attempt to heal the skin quickly. This clumping together of the cells is how scarring occurs.

So what's the alternative?

Well, there are several. Microdermabrasion, though less effective, irritating, abrasive to the skin and does not completely remove the corneum layer of the skin. Jessner Peel, Bio-Medic "Micropeel", Microdermabrasion, Ob agi Blue Peel, Vibrodermabrasion, Crystal Peels, and many others still require that patients sign a "consent form" attesting that you are aware of and understand the risks involved in these procedures...These techniques are injury by design which is not the natural process of skin renewal.

An all natural heat and moisture sensitive enzyme, which removes 100% of the corneum in under 10 minutes is now available on the market. Called the New You Skin Rejuvenating System, it is derived from the all natural aloe vera plant. This enzyme shies away from cells that still contain heat and moisture - signs of life, and instead bond only to dead, dry and "cold" cells on your face. The dead skin literally falls off your face right in front of your eyes and onto the counter in front of you.

Because this enzyme does absolutely no damage to the skin, causes no redness, scarring, heat sensitivity or other scary side effects of facial peels it is completely safe for home use and can be used by anyone regardless of skin type or sensitivity.

So before you spend any more money on invasive procedures that cause damaging side effects look into other methods that may be a more natural and safe alternative to invasive procedures.

How to Get Rid of Scars and Cuts Left by Acne

So you popped a zit, it starts to bleed, and then it turns into a wee scratch. To top it off, a few days later you have this little dry scab. Well, here are some ways to prevent the rupturing of Acne, and a bit of aid in the healing of popping-induced scars.

Steps

Stop popping! It's tempting, but honestly, it make things worse. If you absolutely must pop, make sure that the area (and your fingers) are clean and disinfected. After you pop, gently clean the area with warm water and a washcloth, then cover the popped pimple with ice for a minute or two. This will reduce the swelling. With a cleaner pop, and a smaller area to infect, you greatly reduce your chances of getting a scab or scar.
Keep with your regular acne treatments. Continue your twice-a-day face washes and applications of astringent. If you don't have a very regulated method of treating and preventing acne, then it's time to start one.
Keep in mind that moisturizing isn't always best. In all honesty, you want these little scratches and scabs to stay dry. This, in a sense, causes the scab to wither away and fall off on its own, which reduces scratching and irritation—thus reducing scars.
Allow to heal naturally. Sometimes, the best method of dealing with acne scars and cuts is just to let your body do the works. Keep the irritated area clean and dry, and use as little make-up on the area as possible.

Tips

Avoid touching your face. Your hands can transfer additional oil and dirt to an infected area.
Scars tend to be more noticeable on pale skin. You can combat this with a safe self-tanner (not to be confused with tanning booths and/or sun-tanning, which are unhealthy for your skin). You could also buy a natural redness-countering concealer.
Neosporin is ideal for speeding up healing time thus causing lesser scarring. There is also Neosporin Scar Solution.

Warnings

Picking at the scabs and scars will only make things worse.
If your acne ruptures even when you don't touch it, you need to see a dermatologist. Bleeding or excessive acne is not natural, and may be the result of an infection or allergies. Get treatment as soon as possible.
Acne is caused by a bacterial infections - more times than not. So understand that popping zits only spreads the infection.
Do not use Neosporin if you are allergic to it!

How to Get Rid of a Pimple

While there are ways to avoid acne on the whole, there are also times when you get that one pimple in the worst imaginable spot, and you feel like you're walking around with a giant bulls-eye on your face. Well, here's how you can single out that one pesky zit and make it disappear ASAP.

Steps

Do not touch or pop the pimple. It will only make the pimple more obvious and risk infection and scarring. Instead, take up the following routine, twice a day, until it disappears.
Wash your hands thoroughly before you begin to touch your face.
Wash your face gently but thoroughly with a mild, medicated soap and warm water.
- The water shouldn't feel hot, and lukewarm is a little too cool.
- Do not use a washcloth, as the scrubbing action could pick up and distribute bacteria to other parts of your face. It is best to use your hands.
- Wash for about 30 seconds.
Pat your skin dry with a towel.
Apply a benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid topical cream on the pimple. If the spot is under the surface of the skin and hurts to the touch, use benzoyl peroxide. Salicylic Acid should work well for all other acne spots.
After topical treatment is dry, apply a basic face moisturizer (preferably allergy-tested, fragrance free, and oil free). Without moisturizing, the skin around the pimple can dry and irritate your skin, possibly making the pimple more inflamed and noticeable.
Cover the pimple with medicated concealer (optional).
Learn how to prevent acne in the first place, so that you stop that next monster pimple before it even starts.

Tips

Wear sunblock (oil-free) when you go out on a sunny day. Since pimples are raw skin, sunburn will only make it worse.
Hands off your face! Do not touch or pick at your spot, this will not help it to go away faster.
Homeopathic alternatives include tea tree oil, baking soda paste (mix with a little water, apply and let dry), and witchhazel.

Warnings

2.5% to 5% Benzoyl-Peroxide Solutions are sufficient; 10% or higher can irritate the skin and exacerbate the problem.
Don't use rubbing alcohol. It will sting like crazy and dry and irritate your skin.
One should cleanse, gently exfoliate, and moisturize one's skin twice daily. Go to an expert for a skin consultation to find out what strength of soap and clarifying lotion you should be using for your skin type.

How to Avoid Acne

Common acne (aka "acne vulgaris") is a skin condition characterized by what are often called pimples or zits. It can occur anywhere on the body and at any age, though it typically affects teenagers on the face and back. You can take steps to avoid and prevent acne, as well as keeping yourself healthy and presentable, by doing the following.

Steps

Remove dead skin cells regularly by exfoliating. Use an abrasive cloth or scrub, or use an over-the-counter chemical exfoliant like salicylic acid and glycolic acid. Remember that over-exfoliating can actually increase the likelihood of red, dry skin by irritating the skin.
Remove bacteria from your pores. Your skin can become "allergic" to this bacteria. Use bactericidal products containing benzoyl peroxide by rubbing, twice daily, into the pores over the affected region or washing with a medicated soap bar/wash. Keep in mind that this may cause dryness, local irritation and redness.
Avoid exposing your skin to other sources of oil and irritants.
- Break the habit of touching your face.
- Keep bangs off of your forehead--the oil and the hair products (if any) can clog pores.
- If you use a phone a lot, don't let it touch your face.
- Change your pillowcases and sheets once a week to prevent the build-up of oils and bacteria that can re-occupy your pores.
- Use non-comedogenic moisturizers and makeup. Choose cosmetics that are water-based and hypoallergenic. Avoid oil-free products, coal tar derivatives, and heavy creams. Make sure you wash your skin thoroughly every night to remove makeup residue.
Review your diet and the research surrounding the links between diet and acne. The relationship between food and acne is a debatable topic. Your diet may or may not have an effect on acne.
- Studies have shown a correlation between milk and acne. Try substituting with soy milk and other calcium-rich foods.
- Excessive consumption of foods high in iodine (e.g. some seafood) may worsen acne but probably won't trigger it
- Research suggests--but does not prove--that a diet with a low glycemic index may reduce the likelihood of acne. High glycemic foods to replace with healthier alternatives include:
  - soft drinks (drink water instead)
  - sweets (substitute with fruit)
  - white bread (replace with whole wheat bread)
Remove other potential causes of acne. Some factors, such as being in puberty, can't be altered, but these can, with the approval of your doctor:
Try asking a skin doctor also known as a dermatologist about your acne
- Minimize use of medication containing halogens (iodides, chlorides, bromides), lithium, barbiturates, or androgens
Keep your bedsheets clean. Wash your pillow case on a regular schedule to reduce the transfer of natural body oils.
Wash your face at least two times a day. Use face washes such as Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash or other face washes.
There are no perfect creams or medicines that make your face smooth, soft and acne-free.

Tips

Watch your diet and observe the effects it has on your skin. Whatever science has to say, every body is different and how yours responds to certain conditions can best be determined by you alone. As with any common condition, keeping your body hydrated is sound advice.
Sometimes the best way of taking care of this condition is by doing it naturally, as in using natural products. Recommended are some such as : Witch Hazel, to be applied with a cotton swab after washing face. Dr. Bronner's Tea Tree Body Soap, which because of its Tea Tree elements, can reduce pimples on the face quite well if used at least twice a day.
Neutrogena is a good product that can prevent or treat acne! it is sold at any drugstore.
If you can afford it, I highly reccomend this place called Skinprint (I don't know where all of the branches are but there is one in Red Bank, New Jersey) They mix a face wash, moisterizer, and other products that are perfect for your skin, they test it in the beginning. The only problem is it's expensive, but it's worth it.

Warnings

Do not make any drastic changes in your diet or skin routine without first consulting a medical professional.
Anything beyond very gentle cleansing can actually worsen existing lesions and even encourage new ones by damaging or overdrying skin.
You should only scrub your face if you have no existing pimples. Scrub lightly; avoid scrubbing too much or with too much pressure.
Benzoyl peroxide can have a bleaching effect on clothes and hair. It may also increases sensitivity to the sun, so you might find that you burn faster!

How to Get Rid of Acne

Acne is a broad term covering blemishes, blackheads and whiteheads. This condition can strike at any age. While there are many preventative measures you can take to avoid acne with good results, here's how to treat existing acne so that it disappears.

Steps

Stop popping the pimples and zits. This will only risk encouraging your acne to stay due to inflammation, irritation, and possibly infection. If a pimple comes up in a particularly bothersome place, learn how to target a single pimple. And if you're determined to pop, learn how to pop a pimple safely and properly.
Remove dead skin cells regularly by exfoliating. Use a gentle scrub with natural exfoliants like ground walnut shells, or use an over-the-counter chemical exfoliant like salicylic acid and glycolic acid. Remember that over-exfoliating can actually increase the likelihood of acne by irritating the skin. Pat dry, rather than rubbing, since rubbing can cause irritation to the fresh, skin you've just revealed.
Use a good toner. Spray onto face or wipe on with a cotton ball and wipe off with a clean, dry cotton ball. This gets rid of excess cleanser and tightens pores. Good, inexpensive choices include plain witch hazel for normal to dry skin, or 3% hydrogen peroxide for oily skin. 70% ethyl rubbing alcohol can also be used for severe oiliness, but it can really dry out your skin and irritate it more. Some toners are medicated, too, and this stage is the best stage for using a medicated product if you're only going to use one medication.
Bacteria in pores is one cause of pimples. Reduce the amount of bacteria by using toners containing anti-bacterial agents like alcohol, peroxide and benzalkonium chloride, and by using creams that contain benzoyl peroxide, which kill bacteria as well as cause the skin to regenerate faster.
Maintain a routine. Most acne treatments take time to work. It usually takes between two and eight weeks before you see any significant improvement, so you are going to have to be patient. Once you've gotten your acne cleared up, it's important to continue with the treatment that's working so it does not return.
If all else fails, contact your GP. They may be able to prescribe specific mild antibiotics that can eliminate acne.

Tips

Acne medications may cause your skin to initially break out worse than before because all FDA-approved acne medications (benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and sulfur) are causing your skin to regenerate faster. This brings existing acne pimples already under your skin (but not visible yet) to the surface, which in turn causes a massive but fortunately temporary break out. Give the medications about one to two weeks and you will notice a big difference in the quality of your skin.
See a dermatolagist if over the counter remedies do not work. They specialize in skin care and can prescribe you medicines that help you improve it.
Don't stress out! Stressing out can only makes acne worse. Find ways to stay calm in your life.
Drink plenty of water. Staying well hydrated can help your condition improve, because the "waste management" control system in your body requires a lot of water to do its job. Without enough water, the body has difficulty removing some waste products efficiently.
Look for face washes which contain the active ingredient benzoyl peroxide. This is the key ingredient in some of the best face washes. use a 5-10% benzoyl peroxide of mild to moderate acne and 10% for severe.
Try smashing one tablet of asprin in a small bowl, then adding lemon juice to the mixture. Apply to the affected areas overnight. It boosts the healing process, while reducing redness.
Try putting toothpaste (paste NOT gel) on your face, cover it with a bandage and keep it on all night, when you wash it off in the morning your acne will look better. The astringent and surfactant nature of the toothpaste will help diminish the appearance of pimples. But the toothpaste has been known to burn sensitive skin of the face, so be careful. If your face does burn, stop acne treatments, and work on healing your burn.
If nothing is working for you, drink four tablespoons of apple cider vinegar diluted with water daily. It works very well for some people and is worth a try.
You can also try taking a Zinc tablet everyday.
Phototherapy or blue-light therapy is an increasingly common form of treating facial or body acne. It uses light that interact with porphyrins in skin bacteria to reduce bacteria production and rectify acne. Many dermatologists use this form of treatment in a clinic setting, but it can be costly and time consuming. Health Canada recently approved a new product that has the same therapeutic effect, but it can be administered by the individual.

Warnings

Whilst getting a mild facial sunburn can help get rid of acne by accelerating the removal of pimpled skin and thus forcing the body to generate more skin faster, this increases the risk of skin cancer considerably.
Do not use too many different types of acne medication at the same time. It can cause more irritation and increase your acne.
Consult a doctor if your acne is open or bleeding.
Benzoyl peroxide-based products can (and usually eventually do) bleach hair and fabrics. Be extremely careful using them around brightly colored or dark colored fabrics, as you can end up with ruined towels and shirts.
Make sure you are not allergic to products/ingredients mentioned in this article before using them.
Be careful with what prescriptions you take! Some oral prescriptions can cause irreversible liver damage. Talk to your doctor or dermatologist before taking them.
Don't buy multi-step "activ" style solutions. If you read the labels, they contain the same active ingredients that other over-the-counter acne medications contain: salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or sulfur.
If you try using toothpaste, be warned as the burns can leave worse marks

How to Remove the Redness of a Pimple

Okay, every now and then you get a pimple; some do more than others. Or maybe you just couldn't fight the temptation to pick a pimple (picking is a no-no). Well, some way or another you get a red pimple, some people think 'Oh it's just a pimple, no one will notice.' Well let me tell ya, they DO notice, especially if it's red. Here's one way of making them less noticeable.

Steps

Wash your face daily with a good face wash.
Pat face dry with a towel.
Cold and hot water help reduce redness and puffiness of your pimple.
Look at a grocery store for a redness reducing product to put on your pimple.
Eye drops are made to remove redness in the eyes, but they work just as well on your pimples. So squirt at least three drops on your pimple.
Wait at least five minutes.

Tips

Normal soap is fine, but you should really use Neutrogena Acne Wash if you have it.
Use an oil-free sunblock of SPF 15 or more everyday. It makes your skin softer and prevents the sun from making your pimple worse.
If you don't have eye drops around, you can use a fever reducing OTC drug like Ibuprofen. It reduces redness, hence the name. Just one of two pills does the trick and takes about the same time as the eye drops.
if you have bad acne it helps to go to a dermatologist who can perscribe you medication to take by mouth. the acne will dissappear in a few months

Warnings

Be very careful if you're going to take medication such as Ibuprofen to reduce redness, as Ibuprofen was not intended for that purpose. Always ask a doctor first.

Cure acne - get rid of pimples

You do not get acne from chocolate or strong spices. Or, yes, you will get acne from chocolate, but not because you eat it. You get pimples because you touch yourself in the face when you eat chocolate. When you poke around in your face with dirty fingers - you might have a habit of leaning your head against your hand or stroke your chin when you think - you are massaging bacteria and dirt into sensitive pores which will then turn into pimples.
You could also suffer from acne as a symptom of (usually) intestinal problems. If you get pimples in symmetrical patterns in your face, especially along the jawlines, it can be either a symptom of IBS - Irritated Bowel Syndrome - colon irritabile, that you stress to much and thus upset your stomach, or that you eat things that aren't good for you - or all of those alternatives. The article on heartburn might help you put a stop to such acne.

Follow these advises in order to get rid of pimples:

Stop touching your face. See to that areas where you have acne aren't covered or irritated by shirt-collars or caps - especially not dirty such.
Do not dry out the skin. Do not wash your skin with dehydrating anti-acne solutions. Such solutions cause the skin to produce more fat which in turns increases the risk of blocking the skin's pores.
Wash your face with pure water only - do not use soap or alcohol based solutions. Do not rinse your face with cold water after shaving in order to "close the pores" - let them breathe instead.
Do not shave yourself the wrong way. Shave in the same direction as the hairs grow. If you shave in the opposite direction you will cut off small pieces of the skin which is lifted up with the hairs. The sore skin will then probably get infected - it's far better with bristles than red pus-filled spots.
Carefully squeeze pus-filled pimples. It's more likely that you will get worse scars from suppurations that are left to heal for themselves than from cleaned out "craters". Do use lots of disinfectants though and powder the wound with non-scented baby powder or similar in order to keep it dry and clean.
Use a skin lotion which contains carbamide in order to keep your skin moisturized after you washed yourself. Carbamide tunes your skin's moisture balance in a natural way. Eventually you could mix in some weak cortisone-gel if your skin is irritated.
Sunbathe. Adequate exposure to the sun helps the body to create vitamin D which is good for the immune system.
Exercise and take a sauna. The skin needs to sweat - don't be afraid of that - in order to get clean in depth.

Follow the advices above and you will most likely have much less trouble with acne and pimples. It's never necessary to spend large sums on miracle promising anti-acne cures - none of them work other than that they temporarily dehydrate the skin which will eventually worsen your problems.
And remember - the pimple is always worst in the mirror you are looking in.

get rid of pimples

You do not get acne from chocolate or strong spices. Or, yes, you will get acne from chocolate, but not because you eat it. You get pimples because you touch yourself in the face when you eat chocolate. When you poke around in your face with dirty fingers - you might have a habit of leaning your head against your hand or stroke your chin when you think - you are massaging bacteria and dirt into sensitive pores which will then turn into pimples.
You could also suffer from acne as a symptom of (usually) intestinal problems. If you get pimples in symmetrical patterns in your face, especially along the jawlines, it can be either a symptom of IBS - Irritated Bowel Syndrome - colon irritabile, that you stress to much and thus upset your stomach, or that you eat things that aren't good for you - or all of those alternatives. The article on heartburn might help you put a stop to such acne.

Follow these advises in order to get rid of pimples:

Stop touching your face. See to that areas where you have acne aren't covered or irritated by shirt-collars or caps - especially not dirty such.
Do not dry out the skin. Do not wash your skin with dehydrating anti-acne solutions. Such solutions cause the skin to produce more fat which in turns increases the risk of blocking the skin's pores.
Wash your face with pure water only - do not use soap or alcohol based solutions. Do not rinse your face with cold water after shaving in order to "close the pores" - let them breathe instead.
Do not shave yourself the wrong way. Shave in the same direction as the hairs grow. If you shave in the opposite direction you will cut off small pieces of the skin which is lifted up with the hairs. The sore skin will then probably get infected - it's far better with bristles than red pus-filled spots.
Carefully squeeze pus-filled pimples. It's more likely that you will get worse scars from suppurations that are left to heal for themselves than from cleaned out "craters". Do use lots of disinfectants though and powder the wound with non-scented baby powder or similar in order to keep it dry and clean.
Use a skin lotion which contains carbamide in order to keep your skin moisturized after you washed yourself. Carbamide tunes your skin's moisture balance in a natural way. Eventually you could mix in some weak cortisone-gel if your skin is irritated.
Sunbathe. Adequate exposure to the sun helps the body to create vitamin D which is good for the immune system.
Exercise and take a sauna. The skin needs to sweat - don't be afraid of that - in order to get clean in depth.

Follow the advices above and you will most likely have much less trouble with acne and pimples. It's never necessary to spend large sums on miracle promising anti-acne cures - none of them work other than that they temporarily dehydrate the skin which will eventually worsen your problems.
And remember - the pimple is always worst in the mirror you are looking in.

Popping Pimples – DIY Guidelines

Many of us want to pop our pimples the moment we see them on our face or other parts of the skin. You need not always wait for your pimples to burst out without giving you due advice, you may initiae to pop them. Though popping pimples is not recommended, it does not mean you can’t do it on your own.

It’s quite easy but there are important things to note. Here are some guidelines that you have to observe when you have to pop pimples.
Considerably the most important thing to note is know which pimples can be popped. If your pimples are not ready yet, leave them alone and wait until they are “ripe” for popping. For a red bump type of pimple, you may pop it only when you see yellowish-white pus directly underneath the skin surface.

Popping pimples before this condition can definitely spell disaster to your skin. When the pus and dirt combine to form a blackhead, this type of pimples must be removed using a blackhead remover to safely remove them. As for whiteheads, the ones with white top and liquid pus under the surface may be popped.

Below are steps on popping pimples, that of whitehead type:
First, wash your face with a gentle cleanser. “Gentle” means that the formula of the cleanser is non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic and alcohol-free. Wash your face using very warm water, cleansing the skin at least 20 seconds. After which, rinse thoroughly for 20 seconds too. Dry the skin area using a clean towel.

If you really want to make sure the pimplefilled area is really clean, you may opt to dab the pimple with cotton pad soaked in an all-natural ingredient. Witch hazel will do.
Second, run a part of a clean washcloth under very warm water. Apply the cloth directly to the pimple. This will open the skin pore and will make popping pimples less painful. Do the step for about a minute.
Now you are ready to pop your pimples. Place each tip of your index fingers on the sides of the pimple. Make sure you do this with clean hands. Then squeeze, pushing the fingertips towards each other. Do this very gently. Repeat this step until the pimples have popped. You will know if you succeeded when the pus and other dirt and impurities have burst out of the pimple.
After the pus and dirt burst out, wipe the pimple area with another cotton pad. If there is none available, use your finger to wipe them.

However, you need to repeat the squeezing part every 10 to 20 seconds to make sure you drain out the dirt and other impurities out of the pimple. Once you see blood coming out, then you have to stop. With a cotton pad wrapped around your finger, press gently the top of the pimple to stop it from bleeding.
Do not do anything to the pimple for two minutes. Then wash your face with warm water. After your skin was patted dry, apply aloe vera gel or other ointments onto the pimple. You may cover the area with a bandage as well.

Apply more aloe vera gel or ointment once or twice a day.

Pimples are caused mainly by oil called sebum. To picture what happens: the pores or hair follicles on the skin have glands that make sebum. These glands are called sebaceous glands. The oil produced is usually beneficial as it lubricates the skin keeping it soft and preventing it from chapping or cracking.

Sebum, then, makes its way out the hair follicle and goes out to the skin surface to do its job of keeping the skin moisturized. But when sebum together with bacteria and dead skin cells that are shed everyday get clogged up in a hair follicle, which is the time when popping pimples or lesions appear on the surface of the skin.

Infected pimples are treatable so you need not dwell on their presence on your face. What you need to do to get rid of infected pimples is easy.

Bear in mind that doing this won’t make you get rid of your infected pimples; but rather, causes more irritation and spread more infection. Squeezing or popping infected pimples can also result to permanent skin scars.

So how do you manage infected pimples? You may apply benzoyl peroxide to the infected pimples. The compound has a drying effect on the area to which it is applied to. Other than benzoyl peroxide, products that contain retinoids such as Retin-A are effective in clearing the skin pores of oil buildup and dead skin cells.

To fight the infected pimples, creams or lotions that contain antibiotics can prevent further pimple breakouts by killing and reducing the amount of bacteria present on the skin.

The Toothpaste on Pimples Myth

Pimples or zits are very common not only to teenagers but even to some adult. In teenagers, hormones bring about zits while for adults pimples are caused by too much stress, improper hygiene and some other factors.

Teenagers like to experiment with various solutions just to get rid of pimples. And their favorite pimple removal solution is to apply toothpaste on pimples. Where did they get such idea? Well there was this one teen who said that she heard it from one model claiming that toothpaste can actually help in removing pimples. And of course you know teenagers if a pimple removal solution works on someone they idolize they would definitely imitate it without considering the consequences.

Although it is not yet clear where the “toothpaste on pimples” solution originated but still a lot of teenagers as well as adults use this solution as acne pimple home remedy for their pimple problems. — And the result? Well there are some who have gained favorable results but there also some unfortunate individuals that scarred their face on the process.

You see some toothpaste contains high level of hydrogen peroxide, which really helps in achieving that winning smile, but when applied on the face, works like an acid irritating and burning the skin. You might have removed the pimple but in place of it is a scar. If you think that a scar is better than a pimple then that is your choice. Just remember that toothpaste on pimples is not a very ideal pimple removal solution.

Another important thing that you should remember, acne is a different case from occasional bump or zit. So just imagine if you will use toothpaste on each pimple you will burn or scarred your whole face. Acne is a severe pimple problem that cannot be remedied with simple toothpaste on pimples solution. You need expert solution, one that is prescribed by a dermatologist.

What to do?
There is no one-size-fits-all solution so if someone says that toothpaste on pimples has rid him of his zits then lucky for him. However, there is no guarantee that it will work as well for you. And do you know why? Because each person has a different skin type, some react to toothpaste well while others not so well.

Most toothpaste contains menthol, which can really help in drying out the pimple. But remember menthol is not the only ingredient found in your toothpaste there are other chemicals added that are likely to irritate your skin. And aside from that, common sense will dictate that if toothpaste can really help in removing pimples then it should have been placed there on the package. There should be a note saying, ” works well on teeth and also on pimples.” Unfortunately there is no such note.

It is not advisable that you experiment applying various solutions on your face just to get rid of one or two zits. You might regret this at the end. To be sure consult a dermatologist so that you will be properly guided on the proper treatment to use.

Buy and apply anti-bacterial, oil-free concealer to the affected area. This could make the pimple’s redness blend well with the skin color so as to make it less noticeable.

Do not forget that pimples are caused by numerous factors: hormonal activity, buildup of bacteria and shedding of dead skin cells. Try as much as possible to counter all of these pimple-causing factors by engaging in a lifestyle that is beneficial for your skin and body. Make sure your skin is always clean, try to eat food good for your skin, avoid oily food, and maintain a clean and hygienic environment.

Do not touch your pimples. Or even if you don’t have pimples, try not to touch your face often as the face is sensitive and touching it with hands that is full of invisible bacteria and dirt could bring more pimple-causing bacteria to your face.

Try, as much as possible, to control yourself from attacking the plugged sebaceous glands. Do not pop your pimples as they can cause infections and may even leave a scar on your face. Scars look much worse than pimples because they are permanent and are hard to make them unnoticeable.

If you still can’t resist yourself from popping the pimple, just make sure you do it when your hands are clean. Lightly squeeze the top of the pimple with a cotton swab or tissue. Clean the affected area after you have popped it. If after you have done the step and the pimple did not pop, do not do anything. Just leave it alone. It will pop when it is time.

Blemishes caused by pimple take about a month to completely disappear. Have patience, the marks will go away in time.

If you are desperate and wanted to a quick pimples remedy, consult a dermatologist first. He may opt to give you a shot of cortisone that will eliminate the pimple.

If you have recurring cases of pimple breakouts, it is best to talk about the case with a dermatologist as this may be indicative of a presence of a chronic skin disease. Dermatologists have the authority to let you use other medications that will solve your skin problem like antibiotics, or even Accutane for severe cases of acne.

Think hard before using Accutane as though it is the only one that provides a long-term solution for severe acne, it also has side effects.
