How can i reduce pimples from my face????

Answer 1

Acne is an extremely common skin condition with a prevalence of 80% in female and 90% in male teenagers. But it can occur at any age. A growing number of adults are being diagnosed with adult acne.

For most people, acne is a bothersome condition characterized by occasional flare-ups of blackheads, pimples, and pustules. Most often, pimples develop on the face, neck, upper chest, and/or the back. More severe forms can result in inflamed nodules and cysts with scarring. Take a look at these color close-up photos of different types of acne.

Hormones called androgens stimulate increased oil production. The oil is broken down into free fatty acids by bacterial enzymes, which causes skin inflammation and abnormal plugging of the oil glands and hair follicle.

Acne can sometimes be confused with these conditions:
Rosacea
Folliculitis
Dermatitis

What can worsen acne?
menstrual cycle--acne often worsens premenstrually or mid-cycle
prescription medications, such as certain birth control pills, steroids, and lithium.
Being overweight--increased insulin production can signal the body to release extra male hormones, called androgens, which are involved in pimple formation. The list of birth control pills with that may promote acne can be found here.

stress

pore-clogging (comedogenic) cosmetics, sunscreens, moisturizers, greases, and oils

adolescence

poor diet--Excessive sugar, trans fats, fried, salt, and processed foods. Insufficient intake of water, healthy oils, fruit and vegetables, and fiber.

excessive intake of foods such as chocolate, caffeine, carbonated beverages, milk products, and seafood and other iodine-rich foods.

Tumors in the adrenal glands, polycystic ovarian syndrome (especially when adult acne occurs with irregular menstrual periods), and other health conditions can cause acne. Examination by your family physician is recommended to rule out these conditions.


Natural Treatments for Acne
Conventional treatments for acne are usually quite successful. They can include cleansing agents and lotions made with benzoyl peroxide, gels or creams made modified forms of vitamin A, and antibiotics applied to the skin or taken orally. The risk of scarring is an important factor when considering the type of treatment.

Diet
A diet based on whole, unprocessed foods may benefit people with acne. Try to eat at least five servings of vegetables per day and at least one serving of fruit per day. Avoid eating refined sugar. Fried foods and trans fats such as milk, milk products, margarine, shortening, and other hydrogenated vegetable oils should be eliminated. Foods containing healthy omega-3 oils such as ground flaxseeds and sardines should be increased. Some people find that chocolate, caffeine, carbonated beverages, iodized salt, shellfish, wheat and/or milk products aggravate acne.

Regular bowel movements are important. Drink at least 8 glasses of day of water. Increase fiber intake. In addition to eating fresh vegetables and fruit, choose whole grains. Some people may benefit from a one- to four-week liver detox diet based on fresh vegetables and fruit.

Vitamins & Nutritional Supplements
Vitamin A--Vitamin A may help to reduce sebum production. However, high doses of vitamin A can carry a risk of decreased bone density, birth defects, headache, and muscle and joint pain. Like the modified vitamin A prescription drugs, vitamin A can cause birth defects. Sexually active women of childbearing age should not take more than 5,000 IU per day unless they are under the guidance of a professional and are using at least two reliable forms of birth control. Vitamin A supplementation may not be necessary if there is adequate intake of beta-carotene, vitamin E, and zinc, all necessary for vitamin A formation. Decreasing unhealthy fats such as margarine, hydrogenated oils, processed foods, and other sources of transfats can also improve absorption.


Zinc--Zinc, especially in the form of zinc gluconate or zinc sulfate, can help prevent acne. Zinc helps heal blemishes, reduces inflammation, and reduces androgenic hormonal effects on the skin. Begin by increasing food sources of zinc. Two studies comparing zinc to the antibiotic tetracycline found zinc to be as effective as tetracycline. Another study found a mild yet definite effect of zinc.


Vitamin B6--Vitamin B6 may help premenstrual or mid-cycle acne. This vitamin is essential for the proper metabolism of steroid hormones and can reduce the sensitivity of skin to the effects of testosterone.

Herbs
A herbal blend that can help with acne consists of equal parts of the herbal extracts of sarsaparilla, yellow dock, burdock, and cleavers. These herbs are believed to be potent blood and lymph cleansers. Half a teaspoon per day of this blend can be taken three times per day combined with a healthy diet.

Spot application of tea tree oil to erupted blemishes can help to eliminate bacteria and reduce inflammation

Take the following self-care steps to lessen the effects of acne:

Clean your skin gently with a mild, non-drying soap (like Dove, Neutrogena, or Basics.) Remove all dirt or make-up. Wash once or twice a day, including after exercising. However, avoid excessive or repeated skin washing.
Shampoo your hair daily, especially if it's oily. Comb or pull your hair back to keep the hair out of your face. Avoid tight headbands.
Try not to squeeze, scratch, pick, or rub the pimples. Although it might be tempting to do this, it can lead to scarring and skin infections.
Avoid touching your face with your hands or fingers.
Avoid greasy cosmetics or creams. Look for water-based or "non-comedogenic" formulas. Take make-up off at night.
If these steps do not clear up the blemishes to an acceptable level, try over-the-counter acne medications. These creams and lotions are applied directly to the skin. They may contain benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, resorcinol, or salicylic acid. They work by killing bacteria, drying up the oil, and causing your skin to peel.

If the pimples are still a problem, a dermatologist can prescribe stronger medications and discuss other options with you.

Prescription medicines include:

Oral antibiotics (taken by mouth) such as minocycline, doxycycline, and tetracycline
Topical antibiotics (applied to the skin) such as clindamycin or erythromycin
Synthetic vitamin A derivatives called retinoids such as retinoic acid cream or gel (Retin-A) and isotretinoin pills (Accutane) -- pregnant women and sexually active adolescent females should NOT take Accutane, as it causes severe birth defects
Prescription formulas of benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, resorcinol, salicylic acid
Birth control pills can sometimes help clear up acne. (In some cases, though, they may make it worse.)

Your doctor may also suggest chemical skin peeling, removal of scars by dermabrasion, or removal or drainage of cysts.

A small amount of sun exposure may improve acne. However, excessive exposure to sunlight or ultraviolet rays is not recommended because it increases the risk of skin cancer.

Acne usually subsides after adolescence, but may last into middle age. The condition generally responds well to treatment after a few weeks, but may flare up from time to time. Scarring may occur if severe acne is not treated. Some people, especially teenagers, can become significantly depressed if acne is not treated.

Complications Return to top

Possible complications include:

Cysts
Permanent facial scars
Changes in skin color
Damage to self-esteem, confidence, personality, and social life
Side effects of Accutane (including liver damage and birth defects in an unborn baby)
Side effects of other medications
Call your doctor or a dermatologist if:
Self-care measures and over-the-counter medicine have not helped after several months.
Your acne is severe (for example, you have lots of redness around the pimples or you have cysts) or getting worse.
You develop scars as the your acne clears up.

try Pimple Removal.. or you can also try these steps..

First, you'll want to start with one pimple blemish or a small patch of pimples no larger than 1-inch in diameter.

Use your first bottle of the blemish remover on that, by spreading the formula onto your blemished skin to moisten it.

If the skin protector is shown on this page, use that too, by coating your skin with the skin protector before applying the blemish remover.

Let it all dry on your skin, while your skin absorbs the skin-healing formula.

Once dried, usually 10-30 minutes later, the skin care application is complete.

At your convenience, you may rinse off the slight residue left on your skin.

You'll find more options for treatment in the instructions that are included with the blemish removal product.

For example, you can use one of our exclusive methods of application for ease of application on multiple pimple blemishes or to get results sooner.

You probably don't want to delay natural treatment.

Because your skin is likely to be very responsive to natural treatment when your pimples are fresh.

Plus you may be able to remove multiple pimple blemishes with only one purchase.

So the sooner you treat your skin with New Skin™ - the sooner you should see results.

Get started with your blemish removal skin care treatment right away..

Then within 24 hours to 3 days, you should be looking at new skin in the mirror, not just New Skin..

Answer 6

I've had good results from washing with a non-striping soap. If you take off ALL the skin oils your skin will 'panic' and double the efforts to produce oil. I've also taken red clover (internally) to help cleanse the blood and it helped clear up my face. Reducing pimples may also depend on what is the cause of them. Is it stress? Diet? Specific bacteria on the skin?

you've got to avoid stress and get enough sleep..'coz it is that pimples appear when you're always sleeping late and stuff like that..and of course you have to be concious in keeping your face clean like before going to bed you need to wash it with a soap or facial wash and then apply cleanser to really get the dirt off because sometimes it is that even though we wash our face..the dirt are not totally cleanse off so we have to pass on some facial cleansers to make sure it is totally clean..or if it's really too much..you have to see a dermatologist 'coz they're the ones who truly knows how to keep your skin clear and they can prescribe you with any product or medication that is right for your skin type that can totally cure and clear your face of pimples...

Answer 9

Best to go and see your doctor if over the counter remedies haven't worked.

Remember that eating chocolate won't give you spots but good skin does come from a healthy balanced diet. Keep your skin clean too.

Don't leave it too long so you end up with scars. There is treatment out there don't be embarressed to get it.

Good luck.
