How to Get Rid of Pimples Fast

Archive for the ‘Pimple Prevention’ Category

Everyone at some point or the other gets these annoying pimples. They present no danger to your health but greatly affect your looks and appearance. It is possible to prevent pimples when you know their cause.

There are natural oil glands in the skin which maintain the skin’s health. There are times like during puberty or during menstrual activity when hormonal changes cause these oil glands to become more active. This may cause skin cells to stick together, form some debris and block the pores. Now there are bacteria which live naturally in the skin but when there is such blockage, they feed on the oil and form a pimple.

When you understand this, you can prevent pimples by preventing pore blockage or killing bacteria. You cannot do much about the oil secretion because that is a normal function of the skin glands.

I have found the following four activities to help significantly to prevent pimples from appearing
1. Wash your face with a mild soap 2-3 times in a day
2. Use a mild cleansing product once a day
3. Use a commercial face mask or a homemade mask once a week to remove dead cells.
4. Drink a lot of water during the day

When you see the sign of a pimple developing, you can immediately apply an anti-pimple cream containing benzoyl peroxide which kills the bacteria. You can also prepare some home made remedies using honey or lemon which also kill the bacteria.

Since you cannot prevent pimples by reducing the oil secretion from your skin, you can try get rid of the excess oil using a gentle astringent or a mask containing sulfur. You can also switch to using water based make-up creams instead of oil-based ones.

If pimples still appear despite all you have done to prevent pimples, then you can apply some topical medication containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. The doctor can prescribe oral antibiotics but they might cause reactions if you are allergic to them.

I bet you got your first pimple about that same time that I did. I got my first pimple when I was sixteen. There it was, shamelessly protruding from the center of my left cheek, having appeared overnight! It meant that I was becoming an adult – well that is what my grandmother said. Ha! Were you as embarrassed as I was to get that first pimple?

Pimples are a result of hormonal changes during the teenage years and they trouble almost everyone. Oil glands in the skin start secreting more oil which causes dead skin cells to stick together and block the pores. This allows bacteria to thrive in these blockages and leads to the development of pus. Sometimes you might be taken aback by a sudden overnight pimple growth when you look at the mirror in the morning. However, it will not help you if you panic.

Some say that the condition is hereditary. If your mom or dad had pimples, then your chance of having them increases. The most important thing is not to burst them. If you do, then the oil is pushed deeper into the skin and the pimple might become a cyst. Also, it might leave a permanent mark on your skin, which obviously you don’t want. You need to apply the right medication and also take some preventive measures.

You need to keep applying the pimple cream regularly till the pimple clears away. Use a cream with benzoyl peroxide after cleaning the affected area. This will kill the bacteria that cause pimples.

There are both strong creams and mild creams depending on the concentration of benzoyl peroxide. Since benzoyl peroxide is a bleaching agent, it leaves the skin dry after application. So make sure you apply some moisturizer afterwards. Over-use of benzoyl peroxide also increases the amount of free radicals in the skin, which can accelerate aging symptoms. I will suggest that you start with a milder cream first.

To prevent further growth of pimples, you must drink a lot of water. Water helps to remove toxins from the body and keeps the skin hydrated. Also avoid using oil based cosmetics and moisturizers.

I also recommend that you use Acnezine. I’ve been using Acnezine for over a year now, and it has drastically reduced my horror of waking up with an overnight pimple outbreak. I rarely have to get up in the morning and utter a few choice words because there’s another dang pimple!

Acnezine is very unique, as it helps eliminate blackheads, which as we all know cause pimples! Acnezine helps to relieve the embarrassment of overnight pimple outbreaks, and is a total skin care system working from the inside out.

One big misconception about a pimple is that it’s caused by dirt. It’s not!

Luckily, there are a number of things you can do that may help you keep your pimple breakouts under control. Begin by following these simple tips for clean and healthy skin.
