Return To Acne Article Archive   How To Prevent Pimples By Michael Donaldson No matter how we try to prevent pimples, they always manage to come at the wrong time. The following tips can help prevent pimples from occurring in the first place. They say the best treatment is prevention. Hands off! Does it seem as though every time you look in the mirror you see a new pimple? If so, pay close attention to where you place your hands. They could be the source of your pimple problem. The one and only fact about acne is that dirt does not cause acne. It is caused by the oil in our body biding with dead skin cells and then blocking our pours on our skin. When this happens it creates a home for bacteria to grow and cause infections and inflammation. Throughout the day we touch the surface of things that carry bacteria. When you touch your face that bacteria, which is a leading cause of ache, is transferred to your chin, forehead, nose, cheeks or wherever you place your hands, which leads to a breakout. To prevent pimples from developing, make a conscious effort to keep your hands away from your face. Also make it a habit to clean the telephone receiver with an alcohol swab on a regular basis to avoid breakouts around the chin area. Clean, clean, clean. So you say youve tried everything to clean your face, but youre still breaking out? You could be washing too much. Constant cleansing can do more damage than good causing the skin to break out even more. If you have ache-prone skin you can keep pimples at bay by washing your face morning and night with a mild cleanser that contains benzoyl peroxide or salicyclic and glycolic acids. Regular professional facials are also ideal for keeping your skin healthy. Dont pick! Pimples can be very stubborn at times, but whatever you do--try to resist the urge to pick them. By picking you risk infection, which will only lead to scarring and bruising making the situation even worse. At the first sighting of a pimple, reduce its size by applying a topical gel or cream that contains benzoyl peroxide or salicyclic acid like the cleanser. To conceal the blemish, apply a dot of concealer to the center of the blemish, and then gently spread it until the pimple is covered completely. As a final step brush over the area with a translucent powder for a flawless finish. If the pimple gets worse, make an appointment to visit an experienced esthetician or dermatologist who can extract the pimple.
