Question

Answer 1

Pimples are infected pores filled w/ trapped oil & dirt. Black heads are a flat pimple in which the trapped oil has oxidized and turned dark.

Pimple are caused by hormonal fluctuations which cause the skin to produce too much oil or environmental irritants.

Ways to prevent break outs:
1. Exfoliate to clear away old skin cells. You can use a scrub, a fresh wash cloth or toner.

2) Use an anti-bacterial wash or topical medication with benzoyl peroxide.

3) Use face masks to absorb excess oils & keep pores clear.

Answer 4

black heads and pimples are accumulations of your body's natural oils. Now the rumors of junk food causing them is FALSE, what causes them to show up is stress, so chill out. If you want to get rid of them, "noxzema- anti-bacterial lathering cleanser" is the way to go, you can find it at Target or a walgreens, you just wash your face with it once a day and the pimples go away,
to get rid of black heads you should use "Biore Pore Perfect Deep Cleansing Pore Strips"

Answer 5

There oil, trying to escape, but blocked by dead skin and/or dirt. All you can do is keep clean and use something to sop up that oil? Luckily it's just a phase for you. You'll be old and dry as hell, like me, before you know it dear :)
