Getting Rid Of Acne

By: shawn parker Home | Health-and-Fitness | Beauty


Acne is a generic term that covers alot of ground including, but not limited to pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, cysts and more. Before we share with you the best ways of getting rid of acne lets talk about what causes acne. Most forms of acne are believed to be caused by skin pores being clogged with dirt, grease, or any other kind of material. Some believe that certain foods can cause outbreaks but there is no hard evidence that supports this belief.

What is The Best Way of Getting Rid of Acne?

The following methods we are going to share with you are just "Tips". When it comes to the subject of getting rid of acne the best experience is a personal one. What might work for one person may have the exact reverse effect on someone else.

If you absolutely must pop a pimple, make sure that you apply a hot compress until it becomes a whitehead. Once you can see the whitehead, sterilize a needle in alcohol and then lance the pimple gently. Once you have done that squeeze the pimple until it is completely drained and then wash your hands as well as the area on your face where the pimple was.

If you find yourself consistently getting pimples try changing your bath soap. Certain soaps have different affects on certain people. If you use makeup, make sure that is is NOT oil based. The oils in makeup often attribute to irritating skin and clogged pores. Wash all makeup every night before going to bed no matter how much makeup you think you have on.

Some women have attributed their acne problems to their birth control of choice. If you think this may be affecting your skin, ask your doctor to give you an alternative. Also be careful how much sun your face gets without sunblock. One of the very best methods of getting rid of acne is by drinking more waterâ€lots more. This helps your body flush out alot of toxins that may be clogging up your pores.

Steam your face in a sauna or over some hot steaming water to open the pores and flush them out. Make sure to always wash and rinse your face after you've done that. Keep in mind that washing your face to much can be just as bad as not washing enough. This causes your skin to dry out which breeds acne. A good rule of thumb to getting rid of acne is to keep it between 1-2 gentle cleanses per day.

Acne is also caused by stress. To relieve yourself of stress you may need to get more sleep or simply exercise 20-30 minutes 5 days a week. This may seem like a hassle but it can be a miraculous solution to getting rid of your acne.
