How to get rid of Pimples | Tips

Hello guys I'm back again, today I'll be stating you some advices that works on most teenagers about pimples. I know pimples is one of the common problems that teenagers are facing. Soo I decide to compile some of the useful tips. But before we begin let's take a brief fact about pimples. Pimples, also called acne, occur when your skin’s oil glands are overactive and pores become inflamed. Some types of skin bacteria may make pimples worse. Pimples can appear anywhere on the skin, but they most often occur on the face. Because pimples are usually triggered by androgen hormones and, in some cases, genetics, there’s no surefire way to prevent them. Still, there are many methods to reduce their severity and keep them in check. Here are 9. Hope ya like it! **Properly wash your face** To help prevent pimples, it’s important to remove excess oil, dirt, and sweat daily. Washing your face more than twice a day may make acne worse, however. Don’t wash your face with harsh cleansers that dry skin. Use an alcohol-free cleanser. **To wash your face:** Wet your face with warm, not hot, water. Apply a mild cleanser in a gentle, circular motion using your fingers, not a washcloth. Rinse thoroughly, and pat dry. **Know your skin type** Anyone can get pimples, no matter their skin type. Oily skin is the most pimple-prone. It’s caused by your skin’s sebaceous glands producing too much oily sebum. Another type of skin that may cause pimples is combination skin. Combination skin means you have both dry areas and oily areas. The oily areas tend to be your forehead, nose, and chin, also called your T-zone. Knowing your skin type will help you choose the right skin care products. For example, if your skin is oily, choose noncomedogenic products that are formulated to not block pores. **Moisturize skin** Moisturizers help skin stay hydrated. But many moisturizers contain oil, synthetic fragrance, or other ingredients that may irritate skin and cause pimples. To help prevent pimples, use fragrance-free, noncomedogenic moisturizers after you wash your face or when your skin feels dry. **Stay hydrated** If you’re dehydrated, your body may signal your skin’s oil glands to produce more oil. Dehydration also gives your skin a dull appearance and promotes inflammation and redness. To keep your body well-hydrated, drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day. Drink more after exercise, if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, or you spend time in a hot, humid environment. **Limit makeup** It’s tempting to use makeup to cover up pimples. However, doing so may clog pores and trigger outbreaks. Go au naturel when you can. When you do wear makeup, avoid greasy, heavy foundation, and use products that are noncomedogenic, sheer, and fragrance-free. Greasy or oily shampoos, body washes, shaving creams, and hair styling products may all cause pimples. To help prevent outbreaks, choose oil-free, noncomedogenic options. **Don’t touch your face** Your hands encounter grime and bacteria constantly throughout the day. And each time you touch your face, some of those pore-clogging impurities may get transferred to your skin. By all means, if your nose itches, scratch it. But wash your hands regularly, and try to touch your face as little as possible. **Limit sun exposure** Catching some rays may dry out pimples in the short term, but it causes major problems in the long run. Frequent sun exposure dehydrates the skin, which over time causes it to produce more oil and block pores. It’s important to wear sunscreen to help prevent skin cancer. However, many sunscreens are oily. **Don’t be a pimple popper** As tempting as it may be to squeeze that larger-than-life whitehead on the tip of your nose, don’t. Popping pimples may cause bleeding, severe scarring, or infection. It may also increase inflammation and clog surrounding pores, making your pimple problem worse. **Use antibiotics** Antibiotics help reduce inflammation and bacteria on the skin. Antibiotics are often prescribed. They may be applied topically to your skin or taken by mouth. Those taken by mouth are usually a last resort for people whose acne is severe or doesn’t respond to other treatments. Long-term antibiotic use increases your risk of antibiotic resistance. If your healthcare professional recommends antibiotic therapy for pimples, make sure you talk to them about the risks and side effects. That's all! Soo far these 9 advices works on most young adults like me. If you prefer on go natural you can try washing your face regularly and try consuming enough water to keep yourself hydrated just like what i am doing. I hope this article helps you. Til next time. #StaySafe #TheExplorer
