pimples 101

Wash your face as much as you can. It keeps the oil off. Have you tried tea tree oil or witch hazel? They stink, a lot. But they do work. I've been using a blemish stick, it's a roll-on liquid. I think it's witch hazel, but it doesn't say. It reeks though. I apply it every time I go to the bathroom. Got rid of quite a few using it. Dries them up pretty well. Good luck.

ohh i had acne, i went to a doctor and he gave me anti-biotics (spelling?) and now im just fine it was a 3 months medication period and now im fine. You should do the same really the longer you have spots, the greater will your scars be. btw avoid chocolate, cafein and alchool

Keep doing facial. Wash your face every night you go to sleep. And apply anti-pimple cream on your face.. You'll never have pimples. Apple anti- pimple cream on the most oily parts of your face. And use sandalwood paste.

The two reasons that I know of for pimples is 1]hormonal changes 2] oily skin. If you have pimples due to hormonal reasons, you need to have a talk with your gynaecologist and have the medicine that is prescribed to you. However if you have oily skin, I know of a sureshot remedy that worked for me. This is an old Indian remedy. There is a mud pack of "multani mitti" a kind of soil which is either available in a powder or a rock form which you can grind to fine powder and strain with a fine strainer. Take two tablespoons of the powder, add two teaspoons of sandalwood powder and make a fine paste with three to four teaspoons of rose water. Apply the paste on your face. When dried, you will look like you are wearing a mask. wait until it dries and then wash it off. This should take care of your pimples. Apply it once in three days, initially, then once in a week. There is no adverse effect even if you apply it every day initially, if you find it effective. But it does help to make your skin dry. Along with all this, continue to drink a lot of water, sleep well and in time. Any or all of these remedies should hopefully work for you. Best of luck to you.

Here's what my mom tells me: -change my pillow case every few weeks or so -avoid eating any junk food -wash your towel with soap every 2-3 days -wash your face everyday with some sort of cleanser I do like half of these things, but I got to admit that this actually made a difference to my skin. Hope this works for you too.

I also hate pimples. They just come out right before a huge event. I try to prevent this by drinking lots of water to flush out toxins and have plenty of rest. If those won't work, then I just put a touch of make-up to temporary cover it.
