Pimples

This is one of the most common and irritating skin problems a woman has. If not carefully treated, the pimples may leave permanent scars on one's face.

Here are our step-by-step recommended guide to get rid of the pimples. *Warning: these are just suggestions and may not work on certain people. Also, if the problem is serious, please consult a dermatologist or specialist for treatment.

Step by step guide

i) Clean your face properly. See Proper facial cleaning for further explanation. The rationale here is that most pimples are caused by bacteria infection or dirt and dust which blocks the pores that ruptures under the skin. Cleaning the face might not solve the problem immediately but at least it will stop the pimples from becoming worse.

ii) Avoid using any oily products. Be careful not to apply too much moisturizer or any other make-up products on the pimples. It might aggravate the problem.

iii) Wipe with clean towel. Once the face is cleaned, wipe with a clean towel or facial cotton and do not apply any other products on to your face.

iv) Apply cream. Lay back and use a lighter based cream specially for pimples on the infected area. Though most products with benzyl will reduce the pimple problem, there are also oral medication which can act as antibiotics. The best time to apply such treatment is at night.

v) Wash Hand. If you squeeze your pimples, please clean your hands first to prevent further bacteria infection. Do it gently and try not to squeeze it too hard, or you may damage your skin tissues and leave an ugly scare.

vi) Beware of other elements. Note that other elements ranging from stress, smoking, alcohol, hormonal imbalance or other medication may cause pimples.

Other Tips:

i) Wrap some ice cubes in a cloth and rub them on the pimples. Hold on for about 20 seconds. Then apply Serum Protein Complex on pimples.

ii) Alkaline products such as toothpaste may also prevent the problem from aggravating. Just apply a bit of toothpaste on the pimple and leave it overnight.
