How can i get rid of zits?

Question

How can i get rid of zit/pimples fast with out any makeup or creams.

Answer 1

Hmmm, well there are lots of remedies out there, some work for some people and some for others. I used to have bad skin when I was younger, and have a occasional break out now and then. The best, and weirdest quick fix for a few pimples, especially the painful ones, is to put a tiny bit of toothpaste(the white paste kind) directly on it before you go to bed. I don't know why it works but it always helped me. In general though, if you have oily skin, don't try to dry it out with all kinds of acne medication and astringents, it actually makes your skin more oily in the long run. The more you dry it out, the more your skin tries to overcompensate for it. Basically what you want to do is trick your skin. If you apply an oil free moisturizer to clean skin regularly, your skin will stop producing so much oil. A good, gentle face cleanser is Cetaphil, and what ever you do, (even though it's so hard to do), DON'T PICK AT THEM. It starts a whole bacterial catch 22 on your face, and it leaves nasty scars. Try not to touch your face throughout the day. I hope what ever method you use you have luck with it. I know how frustrating it can be. Hang in there.

Right now my skin is perfectly clear, for the first time in 3 years. It's been about 9 weeks and all my acne is gone. It is such a great feeling to wake up with clear skin.

Get on a good skin regimin. Wash your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser. I use Cetaphil (amazing!). I also use a dual action moisturizer from Clean and Clear that keeps my face in good condition. It uses Salicyclic Acid, but also moisturizes so that it keeps your skin from drying out. Try not to touch your face, it puts bacteria and extra oil on it which will make you break out.

THIS WORKS FAST & CHEAP!!!
I used Tetracyclin, Proactive, Retina A and had many expensive facials with less than good results.This has worked for me and many many other happy people.

Go to pharm.,Drug store, or Walmart, buy "PURPOSE" bar of soap - Blue box - Made by Johnson & Johnson - wash your face with this
2-3x's per day. Also pick up a LOW strength Benzoyl-peroxide cream, apply the cream by dabbing to the individual blemishes.... DONT rub it in works using a oxidation/reduction reaction..It will unclog dry it out and bring it to a head...DONT over use this or put anywhere else on your face. It will cause drying and make you look worse.

Salicylates such as found in regular asprin among other products work very similar but also remove layers of skin...other over the counter creams with this product will dry out pimples but maybe too hash and cause surrounding skin trauma..
I have seen many people recommending crushing asprin and making a paste which probably will dry out the blemish but again
pretty strong and probably will cause more tissue damage and bigger scars as an anti inflammatory
probably would take the reddness out... again pretty harsh for sensative skin.

Also, If need which probably will for moisture ASK FOR "NUTRADERM lotion" - the orginal not the new stuff, this works great and wont clog pores or leave a residue on your skin...Any lotion that is completely oil free and hypoallergic should
work but again I recommend Nutraderm. I have heard from people online that "Purpose" also makes a lotion that is good, Nutragena, and Nivea
make good products also. I recommend Nutraderm from experience and my dematologist.

"Purpose Bar" & "Nutraderm" are oil free and hypoallergic they contain no perfumes and are great for both men and women. I have also heard great reports of this soap helping improve skin tone. Some people recommend the "Purpose luqid soap" saying that the bar did dry out their skin some. The rational behind using the bar is that there are no ingredients in it that will clog pores, and according to dermatologists they recommend the Bar. These products are safe for all skin colors and tones. I highly discourage use
of Proactive and other harsh chemicals for people with some natural color in their face due to the bleaching and drying effect it has shown in many many people.

Additonal TIPS: acne, pimples, etc are frequently cause by a bacteria or hormone issues that cause clogging of pores DONT PICK POP POKE (your hands are the dirtiest part of your body) and will cause: infections, spreading of germs, more breakouts and scarring DONT EVER listen to people online who tell you to scrub your sensative skin or use harsh chemicals such as: Lemon juice, vinagar, alcohol, etc... DONT EVER use that APRICOT CRAP!!! DONT USE PROACTIVE- this is expensive and harsh it may kill the bacteria cause also Benzoyl based wash but will irritate skin and cause bleaching of face and neck.... Other similar treatments may work.. also things such as Accutane but have SERIOUS side effects.... Eating healthy...Drinking plenty of water.. changing pillow cases freq.etc ...avoiding dirty sports equp. such as helmets...can not hurt.......................................

THIS WORKS FAST AND CHEAP!!! I no longer get expensive facials, take oral antibiotics, or even NEED makeup... I am very happy - Have
very good skin... and have many many other happy friends... THANKS again to my WONDERFUL DERMATOLOGIST... TRY THIS!! GOOD LUCK.... PS. "PURPOSE" costs about $3

Answer 6

u should pop the zit first and make sure it's ready to pop. then u clean it and wash ure entire face thoroughly (with facial wash, preferably). after that, u apply sum lotion and everything should work better =]

u should wash ure face because zits are a product of sweat and oil in the skin. cleaning out ure pores after popping them will help greatly

Answer 7

In additionto keeping your skin clean (DO NO SCRUB!!!) and maintaining a healthy diet, try 25-50 mg. of zinc at night before you go to sleep. You will see a huge improvement in just a few days.

Answer 8

Wash your face is the only thing I can say. They won't go away right away though. Clearasil works well. They have acne creams too, but if you don't want to use them, just wash ur face really well daily.

Answer 9

Drink massive water. Take your body weight in pounds and multiply by .66 Then take that numer and drink that many ounce of water per day. So if you weight 140 pounds, you need to drink 92 ounces of water per day. You will pee like mad but it will clear up your skin fast.

Best thing I have found is Pro Active regular use.
