I have many right in-between my eyebrows and alot of black heads on my nose...Im going back to school on tuesday and I don%26#039;t want to wear a ton of cover up...How can I get rid of them without popping them?|||Don%26#039;t use toothpaste on your pimple unless you have acne on you teeth. :) All it does is dry out the pimple, your skin, can actually burn your skin, leave a scab and makes it look worst that the pimple.
Since your skin is natural you need natural products. Commercial toothpaste is not natural.
Things to do to help oily face, pimples, blackhead %26amp; the such....
1.) Don鈥檛 ever pick/pop them... If you must pop them wait till they have a head and use cotton balls. Popping causes the oil %26amp; bacteria to go to near by spots and cause more pimples
2.) Wash your face twice a day. Morning and before you get to bed.
3.) Do not over wash your face.
4.) Get a natural soap that contains Tea Tree EO. I get mine at:
http://www.itsyoursoap.com/index.php?mai鈥?/a>
Tea Tree EO kills all the nasty bacterias that causes pimples. A plus this soap doesn鈥檛 smell girly. Smells like peppermint and cools the skin.
5.) Also get an astringent. But use it only every other day because you do not want to send the oil producing pores into overdrive.
If you follow these things for a few weeks your skin will look great
Just remember this dry skin looks old and worn. You face needs a little oil to look youthful.|||I am a Registered Nurse and I specialize in skin care and teen acne.
After 12 years in this profession I find that most of my patients who deal with acne or brekout problems DO NOT SEE RESULTS from commercial products sold at drung stores or the mall. They usually contain too much benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid or sulfur which tends to OVER DRY the skin and cause itching or irritations.
Also, home remedies such as lemon juice or alcohol or toothpaste SHOULD NEVER BE USED because they cause small tears in the skin and leave the skin more susceptible to bacteria that causes pimples or acne.
Your question is very broad and you need to get professional advice. I will explain why it%26#039;s a broad question!
Your age plays a role! Do you always have breakouts?
However, acne can result from several factors such an increase in hormone levels. In males testosterone or androgens. In females, androgens respectively. The increase in androgen levels can stimulate the oil glands to become enlarged and thus more oil production is produced. An increased oil production can clog the pores with oil or sebum ( white thick substance) which cause the cell walls of the pores in the skin to breakdown. This process allows bacteria to form and thus breakouts develop.
Genetics may also be a cause. It is a myth that greasy food or chocolate causes breakouts.
However, using make-up sponges that are not changed or washed often can contaminate the pores with bacteria which may develop into acneic breakouts.
Teenagers going through hormonal and growth changes are prone to acne.
If you have severe breakouts than you might need medication. There are many factors.
The most important thing is that you need products that are AGE APPROPRIATE! Every age group has different products appropriate for them. If you are young than you need milder products as to not dry out your beautiful young skin.
The problem with commercial skin products is that they are manufactured for MASSES OF PEOPLE and are not specifically made for different peoples%26#039; needs.
Your skin type is different than mine and your age differs from mine so how is it logical that we both use the same skin product for breakouts. We need different strengths of cleansers and toners. Do you kind of understand what I am getting at?
Here is my STRONG SUGGESTION for you. I refer all my students and patients to this website:
www.aboutyourskincare.com
You need to consult with professionals and on this website YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS FOR FREE AND A SKIN EXPERT/PHYSICIAN WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. It would be a shame if you dont take advantage of this free service.
Lastly, they have incredible products for breakouts and they make them specifically for every kind of skin type. That means that if your breakouts are more severe than mine, than while we both will buy the same product yours will have stronger ingredients than mine will.
They have a mild glycolic acid cleanser that%26#039;s great for your type of skin and also a DRYING LOTION ( I have 3 bottles) that you put directly on your breakouts and the next day it%26#039;s gone. It%26#039;s truely magic in a bottle.
A basic guideline for properly taking care of your skin is this ( now if you%26#039;re a young girl you will need fewer products than this):
Night time:
1. Exfoliate the skin
2. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser
3. Mild Glycolic Acid Toner ( cleans off the excess debris and balances the PH level of the skin).
4. Drying Lotion used only on breakouts
5. Moisturizer
Morning:
1. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser
2. Moisturizing cream
The above is a standard you may need to only use one or two products. Visit: www.aboutyourskincare.com

|||Use cleanser everyday and sleep well. Avoid physical contact with your face. Lots of unnecessary rubbing or having bangs brush your face/forehead might cause acne. Eat healthy and use facial products that have a lot of salicylic acid. |||
Calamine lotion has the same drying effect like toothpaste so you can apply it overnight and wash the next day. More such solutions at http://solutionsforpimples.blogspot.com/
