Skincare Beauty Tip
Make A Pimple Disappear
submitted: Aug 19, 2009tip #346
For flawless skin like Shenae Grimes' just follow these zit-zapping tricks!
• A superficial pimple—the kind that is on the surface of your skin and can be tempting to pop—can be cured by using a spot treatment that contains the maximum amount of either salicylic acid (2%) or benzoyl peroxide (10%). Treat your pimple morning and night, and bring down any swelling by icing it for 10 minutes. These tactics should zap your zit within a day or two, and in the meantime you can keep it covered with a blemish-fighting concealer. We like: Dr. Brandt Blemishes No More Spot Blotter and Concealer
• If you're cursed with a cystic pimple—those are the ones that are imbedded deep in your skin and can be painful when you press it—you'll need to visit your dermatologist to see fast results. A quick cortisone injection will shrink that volcano down within a day.
• Regardless of the type of pimple you have, one rule stays constant: don't pop it! The more you touch it, the bigger the zit will get and could cause a scar. So hands off!

Help?
Hi, Unfortunately, there is no cure for ance or pimples. Ance is a hereditary or genetic thing. If either or both of your parents had it, it's likely you will inherit zits to. I know, it sucks but the good news is there are alot of products out on the market that help to alleviate the problem. Each person is unique, as well as the type of ance they may have. So it is best to experiment with different products to find the right regimen that works for you.
Although, benzoyl peroxide is the strongest anti zit medication, that you can use, without a prescrption, the side effects can be somewhat harsh {redness, peeling and burning sensation}. Salicylic acid is a bit more mild and doesn't have the negative side affects of B.P.. I find that Stridex ance pads work great at controlling ance or pimples. They have a variety of pads, some that even have vitamins A,E and C added in the formula. Other pads have aloe vera and benzoyl peroxide. These pads could even be used on the back area, but I would recommend a bar soap specifically made to treat pimples on the back area. The popular auction site "ebay" carries all kinds of medicated bar soaps. If you want a more natural bar soap, I would suggest a soap that has tea tree oil in it or oatmeal. Both are good at absorbing oil and tea tree oil is a good antiseptic. The primary objective in keeping ance under control is to keep the face and body clean and keep the oil on your face and body at a minimum. Bacteria along with the excess oil is what brings on a pimple. Also, it's good to take a vitamin, rich in antioxidants every day. This helps to keep things regulated on the inside of your body as well. I also use a facial mask made of kaolin clay, dead sea mudd or a glycolic acid mud mixture, during the times that I am lounging or relaxing at home. It helps absorb the excess oil on my face, hence less pimples!
The summer weather tends to make the skin excrete more oil along with the sweat, so it's good to bathe more often to avoid breakouts.
Here is the url for the Stridex product line. Good luck & take care! http://www.blistex.com/Stridex.htm
4 my back i uze nuetragena ACNE STRESS CONTROL & it wurkz pretty good!!!! but u have 2 get the facewash, acne padz & acne gel uthurwize it dusn't wurk
amazingly enough, this actually works!
That's neat, I'll try that. I like the idea of icing the pimple.
hmmm, maybe i should try. sounds Like a winner.
A little calamine lotion on the pimple can do the trick. Additionally, I have used Bonne Bell's 10- 0-6 lotion for years. It is no longer available in stores, but can be purchased online. It really controls the oils and keeps the pimples from forming, in my opinion. The smell is not so great when you open the bottle, but you get used to it!
It is,they have just released a new version. You can get it from Priceline or Big W.
I see proactive has come out with a body skin care line. also dandruff shampoo has a healing effect on acne lather up your hair soap down your trouble spots shower as usual and rinse it off just prior to exiting the shower.
i also like 2 uze toothpaste (don't uze the 1s that say they whiten ur teeth, they strip the color off ur skin 2!!!)
Toothpaste cleans your teeth, and it works wonders on pimples too. Two words: DO IT!!!
