's message, "Re: Stop Squeezing Your Pimples - 7 Safe Ways to Get Rid of Pimples" on 04:15:48 04/22/06 Sat
This problem started when i was 14 years old now am 35years old my face developed some big redish pimples so painful please help me.
>>before a special event to discover a big, red pimple
>>baring itself for all to see right on your face!
>>
>>Here’s how to get rid of it quickly and safely:
>>
>>1. Don’t ever pinch, squeeze or pick at a pimple. This
>>only causes it to become more red and inflamed, and
>>will spread the bacteria and oils that caused it in
>>the first place, to other parts of your face! It can
>>also lead to scars.
>>
>>2. Every 30 minutes, apply an ice pack to the pimple
>>and hold it there for about 2 minutes. This will
>>decrease the swelling and redness and help shrink the
>>inflammation and pain that sometimes comes along with
>>it.
>>
>>3. They don’t call it concealer for nothing! Covering
>>the pimple with a light dose of flesh-tinted concealer
>>can help mask it when you’re in a hurry. It also helps
>>cover up that oily shine.
>>
>>4. Cleanse your skin 2-3 times a day with mild,
>>unscented soap or a specialized acne cleanser that has
>>no harsh chemicals (such as lye). Scrub skin gently
>>with an exfoliating pad or washcloth, but don’t rub
>>too hard, otherwise you’ll sap your skin of its own
>>natural oils, which help to repel buildup naturally.
>>
>>5. Apply a cream or ointment containing benzyl
>>peroxide or salicylic acid (many over-the-counter acne
>>medicines contain these ingredients) to the blemish or
>>around the entire facial area. Note that these
>>ingredients both have a tendency to dry out skin if
>>used too much and are not recommended if you have
>>sensitive skin.
>>
>>6. Wear oil-free makeup whenever possible. These types
>>have less of a tendency to cause the pore buildup that
>>results in blemishes. Remove your makeup nightly and
>>cleanse with an acne-fighting medicine to remove dirt,
>>oil and makeup from deep within the skin.
>>
>>7. If you’re in need of a quick fix, a dab of
>>toothpaste on the affected area right before bed can
>>help soothe irritation and reduce redness. Pressing
>>and holding a wet tea bag or a cotton ball with a dab
>>of lemon juice against the blemish for five minutes
>>can also reduce swelling and redness.
>>
>>If you follow these tips, chances are you’ll notice a
>>significant difference rather quickly – often within a
>>day or two. If pimples become a recurring problem or
>>worsen, your doctor or dermatologist can suggest a
>>daily skin cleansing routine that will suit your skin
>>type. Other long-term remedies, such as facial masks,
>>diet adjustments and increasing the amount of water
>>you drink can also help combat outbreaks.
