How To Prevent Pimples In 7 Simple Steps

Pimples don't care whether you're 17 or 57, everyone gets them!

Pimples are downright ugly and they leave us very self-conscious and embarrassed. They form as a result of a small infection within your skin's pores. They are produced as a result of bacteria that thrives on your skin's surface. Once the bacteria reaches the pores, acne forms.

If you want to prevent pimples, here are some tips that will give you a head start to get rid of acne:

WASH-

• Wash your face twice daily (a.m. and p.m.) with a facial cleanser containing 2% salicylic acid (I recommend Biore). Splash your face with warm water prior to lathering as this will help open the pores for deeper cleansing. Never use body wash on your face because it's not formulated for sensitive facial skin. Rinse your face with cold water to close pores.

TIP: Wash more often in the summer as oils accumulate more during warmer weather. Always pat your skin dry!

TONE-

• Most people don't use a toner at all, BIG MISTAKE. If you want to get rid of pimples, you must use a toner. Toner removes all left over cleanser and residue left behind. Don't believe me? Take a cotton pad, wet it with toner and wipe your face after you've cleansed. You'll be surprised what you'll find on the pad! Do tone your skin twice daily.

TIP: Use a toner with 2% salicylic acid and round cotton pads. Gently wipe your face with a toner-moistened cotton pad after cleansing to remove leftover impurities.

HONEY-

• Honey contains cleansing and curing properties and is a natural way to get rid of acne pimples. Splash your face with warm water to open the pores then apply the honey. Wait a few minutes then rinse with warm water. Follow up with cold water to close the pores.

TIP: Warm the honey slightly in a microwave before applying a thin layer to your face.

MOISTURIZE-

• If you really want to know how to prevent pimples, don't use a hand moisturizer! Hand and body moisturizers are not formulated for your sensitive facial skin. Use a gentle oil-free facial moisturizer. Apply a little moisturizer to your hands and apply to your face in gentle outward motions until it's absorbed. Make sure your hands are clean!

TIP: The best facial moisturizer I've found is one that contains benzoyl peroxide or 2% salicylic acid.

MAKEUP-

• If you use makeup on your face, always use an oil-free, water-based makeup, or avoid it all together.

TIP: Mineral-based powder foundations will not clog your pores and create an even toned appearance.

WATER-

• Drinking water daily is one of the best ways to get rid of acne. Water flushes toxins and impurities from your body and cells and hydrates your skin from the inside out.

TIP: Drink ½ your body weight in water each day. (Example: If you're 100 lbs., drink 50 oz. of water every day).

SUNSCREEN-

• Another way to stay acne free is to use a water-based facial sunscreen and avoid the heavier products for the body.
