How pretty life could be if you continue to sport your baby and flawless skin from your childhood until you rear your children, and until your children has reared their own. This may be impossible because of many reasons, i.e., hormonal changes, pollution, and lifestyle can take its course giving your skin undue stress.

If it happens that you cannot control the appearance of a zit or a pimple, follow the steps below:

• Wash your face with gentle and unscented soap or mild facial wash. Avoid any cleanser with lye because it may dry your face. Do not scrub your face using hard exfoliators because this may damage your skin and subject your face to scarring.

• Apply topical acne treatment i.e., Benzoyl Peroxide, glycolic acid or salicylic acid. These solutions may be drying, to avoid it; you may use moisturizer at night.

Natural remedy Because chemical treatments can be harsh on your face, if the need for treatment is not an extreme emergency you may try the following:

• Wash your face with warm water.
• Apply a plan yogurt mask on your face for 15-20 minutes. Another option is to use a whipped-egg and honey mask or an oatmeal mask.
• It may also help to wash your face and put baby powder on it. It will help dry the pimple.

For natural quick fix, especially before a job interview or wedding, you may put ice on your pimple for 30 to 60 seconds. Do this every 30 minutes and then apply alcohol on the pimple. This procedure will help reduce the inflammation. You may then apply concealer and top it with your face powder.

Pimple, as of this time has no definite cure, reducing its inflammation and drying it out is the only thing you can do.

One very important reminder on getting rid of a pimple, never pop the pimple with your bare hands. This is because you may subject your face to too much stress and the infection may spread throughout your face. Scarring may also happen, so might as well avoid it.

If you must pop a pimple, ask your dermatologist to do it. If not, you may use a sterilized needle to prick the head. Use cotton or tissue paper to take away the pus.

Your face is important; take care of it so you may live life to the fullest. You will therefore not have to experience hiding from the world because of a pimple.
