Ok, so you are trying to get rid of pimples, honestly, who isn't? Many people suffer from acne whether they have mild cases, the occasional breakout or severe acne.
I have had acne pretty much all of my life.
I did not grow out of it once I past my teenage years.
That would have been nice, but I am constantly struggling to get rid of pimples.
Here are some basic rules that you need to follow when taking care of your skin.
Most of these are pretty obvious, but all of us are guilty of doing it anyway.
It's just force of habit.
Do not pick at your face and don't pop your pimples or whiteheads! I know it is so tempting, but it will make it worse.
The whitehead itself might not be visible, but every time you go picking at it you are causing the infection to go deeper into your skin and spreading it.
The quick fix is not worth it! Don't exfoliate your face too often.
Doing it occasionally can help and it can feel quite good afterwards, but don't be excessive.
Avoid cleansers that contain alcohol.
Know what is in your cleaners.
Alcohol will hurt your skins PH level and which causes more irritation to your face.
Do not wash too often! It is recommended that you wash your face 2-3 times a day, but it's not necessary to do it any more than that.
In fact, over cleansing your face can make your pimples worse and dry out your skin.
Don't be too rough! Use a soft wash cloth or towel when cleaning and drying off your face.
The skin on your face is sensitive and you need to take care of it.
Be sure to follow these rules when you are trying to get rid of pimples.
The last thing you want is to cause more irritation and make your acne worse.
