How to Deal with Pimples
Dealing with pimples can be an annoying part of everyday life, particularly if you are a teen. Pimples occur when the sebaceous glands beneath your skin produce too much oil. This can lead to inflammation, redness and irritation. But don’t despair, there are a few simple methods for getting rid of pimples.
Wash your face twice a day
Cleaning the skin regularly is essential for preventing and getting rid of pimples. Twice a day, use a gentle cleanser and warm water. The milder the cleanser, the less oil it will remove. You should also apply a noncomedogenic moisturizer after cleaning.
Don’t touch your face
Keep your hands away from your face. Touching, rubbing and picking the skin can make the pimples worse and create more inflammation.
Use a topical treatment
Look for products that contain acne-fighting ingredients such as salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or retinoid. These can help reduce inflammation and dry out the pimple.
Eat a healthy diet
Eating a healthy diet can help to reduce the number of pimples. Avoid sugary, processed and fried foods, which can lead to inflammation and can worsen breakouts. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins instead.
Use noncomedogenic makeup
Makeup can make pimples worse, so it’s important to use the right kind. Look for noncomedogenic makeup and makeup brushes that are labeled “for acne-prone skin.”
See a doctor or dermatologist
For severe or persistent pimples, speak to your doctor or dermatologist about other treatments such as medications, laser therapy or chemical peels.
By following these tips and working with your doctor, you can help reduce the severity and frequency of pimples and keep your skin in good shape.
