How to reduce pimples?

washing face with cold water very often reduces pimples.
skin differs by person to person.
so medicine should be suitable to our skin type.

Yes oily skin is very prone to pimples....First tell your friend dont use any type of cosmetics....Wash face as many time as you can...and specially when you come from outside....Do one thing take few drops of dettol anti-septic in water and then take a cotton and dip in tht and clean ur face wth tht...

A friend of mine used to have major acne issues and she tried almost every product she heard of and even went to a dermatologist to cure her acne. However, none of that worked and she stopped going to the dermatologist because it is so expensive. It is until she used the product Proactive that she experienced good results. She was uneasy with the product at first because she usually sees it in infomercials but when she searched Yahoo Answers about Acne, Proactive is their common answer. She tried it herself and continued using it and I can actually say that her face cleared up so I can somehow say that the product really works.

This one I learned from our pharmacy class. My teacher, a doctor, said that showbiz stars uses medication to prevent their face from having pimples even though they are exposed to a lot of factors like lack of sleep and different dirt from different places. The family of this drug is called Tetracycline, try to consult a dermatologist about this and don't just buy it, I think the one the superstars used here in the Philippines is about P50/tablet or capsule, and they need to take it 3 times everyday, meaning it would cost you P150/day which is equivalent to $3. But still consulting a dermatologist is the best thing to do before taking any drug for it may not suit your body or your not properly taking it like overdosing yourself.

hi first of all u have to wash ur face regularly . that will keep ur skin fresh and revitalise the oxygen in it. and for medication most of the creams are available in the market but my doctor suggested me "erytop-a and futop-b" these two creams . they are very effectiive and shows effect in very short time. many time i apply the cream at night and at day time all the pimples are suppresed . just my very own skin left fresh . u can check the medicines with ur doctor also he will advice u the same thing .
one more thing my skin is oily type so i used to get pimples more often. now i wash my face at regular intervals . sometime when i feel that my face is getting oily or if it is not fresh then i just go and wash my face again . its refreshing.and u will get a habbit of it.do check the medicines from the doc in ur area .these are really worth .

This is also my problem:(( My work is very stressful and i don't get a lot of sleep and when i have my period my pimples would really show. Very frustrating really, tried a lot of products already but nothing works for me:(( I tried to go to a dermatologist but all her advices fail. I think if you are really stressed it may also cause pimple. Will be trying some of your advices guys..

there are many causes of pimples,and there are many treatments of pimples.ijust want to point one thing out here...quit touching face with your hands,they are always much dirtier than you think. when i had pimples,i always couldn't help touch them when i had nothing to do(in class),sometimes i don't even realize it.it got much worse everytime i touched them, when i quit touching my face,it got much better.hope my experince will help your friend.

It really depends on your skin type. If you have oily skin, keeping your skin clear and free from oil would do you good. Stay away from moisturizers. Most would recommend using astringents as well. If you have dry skin, stay away from astringents as it will make your skin drier. I actually have combination skin. My nose and forehead are somewhat oily and my cheeks are dry that's why I put moisturizer only on my cheeks.

1. Do not squeeze a pimple, which might cause the spread of bacteria and the apperance of permanent scar.

2. Wash face with cold water. 2 or 3 times a day.

3. Apply a bit of toothpaste to the affacted area before bed.

4. Go and see a doctor for advice.

Diet is one of the first places to look, but there are products on the market that can really help, and old fashioned one works over night for that pimple that pops up from stress, you know the one just before the big date. It's toothpaste, just put a spot on it and go to sleep in the morning it will be much better or even gone. Good luck
