How To get Rid Of Blemishes (Pimples)

CLEAN! Get Glowing!
Wash your face with a gentle, oil- and fragrance-free cleanser; preferably a nondetergent one labeled pH balanced.
If you have oily skin all over your face, use a cleanser that contains benzoil peroxide or salicylic acid.
Don't scrub - irritated skin (Evangeline Lilly) swells around the pores, which can cause breakouts.
Skip toner unless your face is very oily, otherwise it might dry out the skin.

TREAT!
Apply a topical acne treatment containing benzoyl peroxide, glycolic acid, or salicylic acid over your entire face, not just where blemishes have already erupted.
At night, use a drying spot-treatment product and dab oil-free moisturizer on dry areas.
In the morning, apply an oil-free sunscreen gel over the entire face.

CONCEAL!
Use a small makeup brush to dab concealer or cream foundation Evangeline Lilly (in the exact same shade as your skin) directly onto the blemish. Use a fingertip to wipe away excess concealer around the blemish and, if necessary, apply another coat of concealer.
If the makeup becomes cakey, carefully wipe it off and start over. gently brush powder (in the exact same shade as your skin) on top of the concealer.

Tricks Of The Trade:

* If you have oily skin and feel that you need toner, apply it only on the T-zone, and rinse it off afterward (leaving it on can dry the skin turn back the clock). Use a clay mask as often as every three days to absorb excess oil.

* To stop redness and swelling in an emergency situation (job interview, wedding), ask your doctor for a cortisone injection. It calms down a pimple almost instantly.

* If you can't get to your dermatologist (or needles make you squemish), temporarily reduce redness and swelling by dabbing on a drop of drugstore cortisone cream, Preparation H, or Vasocon-A eyedrops.

Best Of Luck!

Answer 3

Try using an ultra thin mask of Clearasil cream at night to dry out your skin a little (make sure it is really thin or your face will be red in the morning) and to get rid of pimples you already have try neutrogena acne on the spot treatment. In addition, you could try going to a dermatologist and going on a tricycline or try accutane (do they sell this anymore or is this dangerous?)

Answer 4

if you really have a lot of white pus pimples, you may be significantly helped with an inexpensive antibiotic (like tetracycline, like 2 dollars for hundreds generic), sometimes topical medications (prescribed) can help topical antibiotics sometimes also Retin-A, but I know like me when I was younger such topical treatments burned my skin. Individual and cyst type pimples can be helped by applying benzoyl peroxide directly to them (wouldn't recommend all over or wash with such, can burn), but individually on each one helps heal faster.

even though i didn't have a bad case when kid (went to school with other kids, in honors classes, almost all parents doctors, almost all used to take antibiotics like tetracycline).

the antibiotics are what really helped me the most, wasn't as much as a hassle and sensitive to skin as benzoyl peroxide, also be careful benzoyl peroxide can bleach clothes if you sweat or rub face on clothes

edit your question for pimples so other people can search

check around, you don't always need to go to a Dermatologist, you can probably find a General Practitioner or Internist for around 40 dollars for an appointment and ask them to give you a prescription for tetracycline, they may recommend another, but sometimes others can be expensive, but now many inexpensive generics (is walmart 5 dollars now?), tell doctor if can't afford expensive antibiotics, they usually know which are more inexpensive

also ask Doctor for Samples, I know my Dermatologist used to give me tons of samples, had a whole big drawer full of Retin-A, but like I said didn't use very much burned and made skin red, anyways antibiotics cleared up few i had sufficiently, my friends whose parents were doctors used to all take samples from their parents LOL (i guess they never paid for prescriptions LOL)

also if skin oily can wash face with hypo allerginic soap like Neutrogena (with no perfumes, etc.), wouldn't wash more than 2 times a day may irritate or dry skin too much, also Dial Gold pretty mild and not as drying ivory can kind of leave film dry

but still definitely need antibiotics like tetracycline (center of treatment)

Answer 5

put egg whites all over your face (like a mask)..egg whites are driers and will remove all the impurities from your face.leave it on until every spot is dry (depends on the type of skin you have) it works so well. use for 2-3 days or continue use. it works wonders. i swear by it. if you only have 1 day then use it once. it may not disappear but it will bring it way down and remove redness. It makes you skin super soft too!

Answer 6

This may sound weird, but when I have a pimple, I apply toothpaste to it right before going to bed (after washing my face with anti-acne face wash). The toothpaste helps dry it out.

Answer 7

There is no one best treatment for pimples. The best treatment depends on a variety of factors. Check out the discussion below from the site, Acne- treatment and causes of pimples:

Diagnosing acne

Acne is easily recognised by the appearance of the spots, and by their distribution on the body.

There are several varieties of acne and your doctor will be able to tell you which type you have after examining your skin.
Treatment

Acne may cause you considerable emotional distress but there is a range of treatment options to help you tackle the problem. No treatment will completely 'cure' your acne. The aims of treatment are to prevent new spots forming, to improve those already present, and to prevent scarring.3
Home treatment

It is important to keep spot-prone areas clean, so wash the affected area twice a day with an unperfumed cleanser.1,6 The skin needs a certain amount of oil to maintain its natural condition, so avoid aggressive washing with strong soaps.

There are a number of over-the-counter remedies available from pharmacies to treat mild acne. These usually contain antibacterial agents such as benzoyl peroxide (eg Oxy and Clearasil Max).

As well as its antibacterial effects, benzoyl peroxide can dry out the skin and encourage it to shed the surface layer of dead skin. Together, these effects make it harder for pores to become blocked and for infection to develop.

Benzoyl peroxide can cause redness and peeling, especially to start with. This tends to settle down if you reduce the number of times you use it. You can then build up your use gradually.7

No home treatments for acne will work immediately. It can take weeks, if not months, for significant effects to be noticeable. If home treatments have not worked after two months, or you have severe acne, you should visit your GP.7
Prescription medicines

Your GP may start your treatment by prescribing a preparation containing benzoyl peroxide. If this does not work, or if you have more severe acne, there are a range of other treatment options that you can either rub onto your skin (topical) or take in tablet form (oral).
Topical treatments

There are several topical treatments you may be prescribed including those listed below:

* azelaic acid (Skinoren) is an alternative to benzoyl peroxide and may not make your skin as sore as benzoyl peroxide7
* topical retinoids (eg Adapalene) are medicines based on vitamin A, which are rubbed into the skin once or twice a day.7 They work by encouraging the outer layer of skin to flake off
* a topical antibiotic lotion applied to the skin can be used to control the P. acnes bacteria (eg Dalacin T). Treatment needs to continue for at least six months. Preparations that combine an antibiotic with other acne medication are available (eg Benzamycin which combines an antibiotic with benzoyl peroxide)7

Oral treatments

There are several oral treatments you may be prescribed including those listed below:

* oral antibiotics (tablets), such as tetracycline, can be prescribed for inflammatory acne. They should be taken daily for around three months, although it might take four to six months for the benefits to be seen.7 The success of this treatment can be limited because the strains of bacteria are often resistant to the common antibiotics. Antibiotics do not prevent pores from becoming blocked so treatment to prevent blackheads, such as benzoyl peroxide, is often also prescribed at the same time
* some types of oral contraceptive tablets help women who have acne. A combination of the usual pill hormone called ethinylestradiol with cyproterone acetate (eg Dianette) suppresses male hormone activity so is often used in women with acne4,7
* isotretinoin (eg Roaccutane) is a medicine known as an oral retinoid, which also exists in a topical form (see above). Isotretinoin works by drying up oily secretions. It tends to be prescribed to people with severe forms of acne that have proved resistant to other treatments. There a number of serious side-effects of this drug, such as liver disorders and depresssion.3,7 You should not take isotretinoin if you are pregnant, as it is very dangerous to an unborn baby.7 For safety reasons, isotretinoin is only prescribed under the supervision of dermatology specialists
