Here are a few things that you can do:

1.) For pimples already there, take a towel and let it soak or rinse very hot water onto it. Dab with a little pressure the towel on the pimple. This will allow the pores to be cleaned out.

2.) You may apply listerine and/or a dab of toothpaste on some pimples. It's better to do this for those less recognizable, softer pimples.

3.) Use a scrub. Look for an acne scrub. They're built to clean the skin in and around the pimple. You can get these at Walgreens, cosmetic stores, etc...

There's a myth that says, the more sugar and fats you eat, the more prone to pimples you are. It's been proved as not entirely true. Though the foods you eat, do make somewhat of a difference. Vitamin E and D are good for your skin. You may want to try a skin oil.

Hope this helps!

Although many people suffer from this condition only during the teenage years, pimples can occur throughout adulthood, depending on your hormonal activity, heredity and hygiene.

Instructions:
STEP 1: Resist the urge to attack when these plugged sebaceous glands pop up. In other words, don't pop your pimples'this can cause infections and even scarring.
STEP 2: Keep in mind that a combination of hormonal activity, a buildup of bacteria and the shedding of dead skin cells causes pimples. Do what you can to prevent a breakout by establishing a skin-care routine appropriate for your skin type.
STEP 3: Have patience. It could take up to one month for a blemish to disappear completely. The less you poke at it, the better.
STEP 4: Buy an antibacterial, oil-free concealer that can blend the redness of the pimple into your own skin color. Green shades tend to offset redness the best. (This might not be an option for those who don't wear makeup.)
STEP 5: Try a facial mud mask. This may shrink a pimple.
STEP 6: Realize that despite the happy teens in the commercials, 'zit zapping' solutions'medications you apply directly to pimples'don't do much more than dry out the top layer of skin covering the pimples. These medications don't provide a long-term cure.
STEP 7: If you are going to break the rules by 'extracting the blemish''aesthetician-speak for popping your pimple'wash your hands, then lightly squeeze the top of the pimple with a tissue or cotton swab. Clean the area thoroughly when you're done. If nothing happens, leave the pimple alone until it's ready to pop.
STEP 8: Apply a benzol peroxide acne medication to the pimple and avoid applying medication to the surrounding area.

Tips & Warnings:
-If you're desperate (you get an unsightly blemish two days before your wedding, perhaps), consult a dermatologist about receiving a shot of cortisone to eliminate a pimple.
Pimples can indicate the presence of acne, a chronic skin disease. If you have recurring pimples, talk to a dermatologist about acne medication. Your dermatologist may prescribe antibiotics, certain brands of birth control pills, or even Accutane for severe acne.
-Consider carefully before using Accutane. Although this is the only truly long-term solution for severe acne, it can have serious side effects and is known to cause serious birth defects when taken during pregnancy. Sexually active women who use Accutane should use two forms of birth control.

Just wait for it to go away naturally, you could spend hundreds of dollars on acne cleansers and most of them don't even work. Your skin is your skin, and if someone recommends an acne cleanser to you because it worked for them, it might not work for you. You could go to a dermatologist i suppose, they would be able to tell you what you really needed to get rid of your acne. And yes i had terrible acne when i was 13, it went away though, but it did come back again when i was 14, and the my face cleared up again, and it has been gone since then. I was very frustrated, because i felt embarrassed to go out, so i ended up wearing a took all the time which only made the acne worse. Just wait for it to pass, unless you want to soak up alot of time and money. Here are some tips though that might clear up your acne at least a little bit if not a lot. Get a good amount of Vitamin C. Try to stay away from greasy foods, such as fries, gravy, burgers and stuff like that. Wash your face no more than twice a day with soap, make sure to get ALL of the soap off of your face.

HI,
Toothpaste is a good stringent for getting rid of pimples. also lemon juice. I get rid of the brown spots by using a sun screen lotion every day. It works better than the products you pay a lot of money for

Toothpaste dries them out really well. Or any face medicine with salicylic acid like natures cure, or noxema. Just apply them at night before you go to bed,
