i started to have pimples when i was in grade 3 and my mom gave me perla soap (i hope you know this) as a treatment. i don't think it helped me a lot. i started losing those pimples when i started having menstruation. now, i do not have many pimples anymore. i am not of a great help to your problem. if your pimples are something you inherited from your family, solution is hard to find. but if otherwise, i think you can just use anti-bacterial solutions (ponds) and get rid of too much acids.

I am 19 and I still get spots a lot. And I mean there is never a day where I don't have any. I find that drinking water is the key to clearer skin. I have come to terms with the fact now that my skin will never be perfect, but drinking 8 glasses a day certainly helps. Eating fruit and veg helps, doing exercise helps. Seriously, I have found that changing my lifestyle in just the slightest of ways really does help towards getting clearer skin. Stress can also induce bad skin, so you should make time for yourself to relax every night. This could help.

I think that prevention is key for you not getting anymore pimples because you're not supposed to be getting pimples at that age. I would advise you to stay away from greasy foods. One thing for me, if i eat anything with Mayo, i will surely get pimples, so i just cut out mayo from everything i eat and no more pimples.

Pimples comes out for different reasons. One thing is,maybe lack of sleep,or dirt that cause irritation. Or,it could be due to skin sensitivity. Wash your face with water and avoid soap that are too chemically compounded. Avoid oily foods and do not use cosmetics too much. Sleep early and have enough sleep too. Apply tomatoe juice on your face and leave it the whole night. Just squeeze the tomatoes and put on your face directly,and massage for few minutes. It will help to dry pimples. Have a good day always

For some instances that's normal when you are growing up but sometimes it's odd that it can make you more conscious so just do the normal way which is washing your face before and after sleeping, don't take medications immediately because it just might get worst without the knowledge of how it treats you.

I used to have this problems sometimes.Its better not to touch those pimples or it may turn into acne. There are certain home made techniques to reduce them. At first,as far as I know,Pimples have been known to positively react to the addition of niacin (100 mg; three times per day), and vitamin A to a diet. 400 mg of vitamin E taken once per day also works wonders. You may also take 50mg of therapeutic zinc in tablet or capsule form (three times per day).But consult a dermatologist first. A useful paste of Fenugreek can be created from the leaves of this vegetable, which is then applied to the face before you retire each night. Results will be better if you add sandal wood paste and turmeric paste.At the start of the morning, the paste should be washed off using warm water. Pimples, especially blackheads are treated with this home remedy. The next is Orange Peel; When orange peels are pounded and combined with water, an effective home treatment for pimples is created. Apply to affected areas and watch the results.Apply lemon juice to pimples and rub it off with a ice cube,it reduces their size and intensity.

I really have no idea how to cure pimples the natural way. When I was a teen my pimples were really bad specially on the forehead area. But an accident burned the skin on my face, and it gave me a new skin that's why all the pimple marks were gone. LOL. Anyway, now, I only have pimples once in a while, usually when it's really hot and my face is incredibly oily. I have tried a lot of facial wash and moisturizers but nothing helps. Maybe you could try drinking Vitamin E, cause it's really good for the skin.

Hi! I've always had problems with pimples even as an adult. I am now using emu oil. I have heard good reviews about it and decided to give it a try. I hope it will work well for me. Why don't you give it a try? There's nothing to lose anyway.
