Advice on how to stop picking zits?

i can't stop! ^ im scared im going to ruin my skin X.xAdvice on how to stop picking zits?
If would really help if every time you reach your hand to your face, you think of the scars you would get from picking your zits.





For me, I don't even touch my face throughout the day b/c i'm afraid of getting zits. What I do is think about the consequences if I do touch my face (ie. getting pimples). So just think about the bad things that will happen and stay for a long time if you keep popping your pimples.Advice on how to stop picking zits?
At a store called Beauty First (hair salon)


I bought a pimple popper, it causes no marks and gets out the puss stuff thats inside. Dosent cause it to bleed either....I really love it :]
just stop
I can't stop either when my zits look really bad D;





But what i do is i get an acne cream or Bio-oil and i put it all over my face. So that prevents me from touching my face at all (:

How to make a zit dissapears in a short time?

This is the thing that everyone trying to avoid including me,but why it's keeping popping out of my face?!It's annoying when some boys in my class tease me about it..ugghhh..i have try using mask,toner and cleanser just to make it stop from getting worst but it doesn't work.





HELP ME!! A.S.A.PHow to make a zit dissapears in a short time?
try rinsing your face in hot/warm water when you wake up every day and dab it off don't just wipe it off cuz that'll make your skin wrinkly when you get olderHow to make a zit dissapears in a short time?
Okay... I used 2 do sooo much stuff to my face... and then i just stopped. My skin was gorgeous after i stopped! All of my pimples cleared up and everything.


For clear skin... less is more.


Morning:


Wash face.


Apply moisturizer.


Drink 3 cups of water and two cups of green tea.


Eat enriched cereal w/ bananas.





Afternoon:


Eat carrots and a healthy lunch.


Drink 5 cups of water.





Night:


Eat a healthy dinner.


Drink 4 cups of water and 2 cups of green tea.


Exfoliate.


Wash face.


Apply moisturizer.


Apply spot treatment.





The best thing for zits is to drink a lot of water and green tea, and to apply 2% salicylic acid.





good luckerzz!
Stop with the harsh chemicals for now. Gently cleanse twice a day and moisturize. Use acne treatment gel if you need it. You can hold and ice cube over the spot to help it sort of form a head more so you can pop it. You'll just have to wait for it to go away. If you stop making a big deal out of it and giving them the reaction they want, they'll stop teasing you about it.
Put toothpaste on it overnight. Its a cheap method and it works better than any zit cream. Your zits will be gone in 1-2 days. Oh and drinking more water wouldn't hurt.
pop um and put neosporin on it. the neosporin will take out the redness
zit cream





why have'nt you tryed the thing made for getting rid of zits yet?
Okay, this is long, but read the whole thing- it will really help you!





If you have sensitive skin, harsh chemicals will make your acne worse! Over washing your face will also have bad results. But don't give up! I found some home remedies that you can try. Most of them, you want to apply and leave on overnight. Then rinse off in the morning.





1. Make a paste of baking soda and water and apply it to affected areas at bedtime; let stand overnight; repeat every night for a week.





2. Wash your face 2 times a day with the following: 1 Tablespoon of Witch Hazel, 1 Tablespoon of Lemon Juice, 1 Tablespoon of Brewed Green Tea, and 录 Cup of Baking Soda. Your skin should show a difference.





3. Apply Lime juice mixed with a glass of boiled milk, and use it as a face wash.





4. Try dabbing some honey on the pimple. Put on a band-aid and leave on overnight.





5. Apply fresh juice of a raw papaya. You can get this fruit at a grocery store.





6. Apply ripe tomato pulp on pimple.





7. Put some lemon juice on the pimple.





8. Dab egg white on your pimple and leave on for at least 20 minutes preferably overnight.





9. Wash your face twice a day in warm salty water. This should leave your face oil free without aggravating the acne like soap.





10. More: http://www.grannymed.com/meds/acne.aspx





If none of these work, try googling ';Home remedies for acne.';


If your skin IS very sensitive, you may want to try these every other day. Use a GENTLE facial cleanser that doesn't contain harsh chemicals. You should be able to get this at a drug store in the skin care section. After washing your face, use a LIGHT moisturizer that is oil-free. Make sure you drink lots of water, and stay away from oily foods. Also, don't touch the pimple! It will just irritate it and make it worse. Don't pile on makeup trying to cover it, because that will only make it worse. Use a light foundation that is non-comedogenic.


Working out daily will also help a great deal. Try running up and down your stairs for 5 mins, and then do 20 squats. Not only will it keep you in shape, but it will help get rid of stress and prevent future breakouts. Stress is a big factor in acne. If you have alot of stress, take hot baths with a few drops of lavender oil to help you relax.


Always remember that you are not alone in this! Almost everyone will have this same problem in their lives- including those guys that tease you!





Hope this helps, and good luck! :)

Whts the best way 2 clear zits?

I have an acne treatment that has won me the best answer six times. Each time, the person said it worked great. I'll copy and paste it below.





Use a hot compress on it, and then use cool water to close the pores. Do the process over and over again, about five or six times. Use soap to wash the area, and then treat it with an alcohol soaked cotton ball. It should be gone within five to six hours.Whts the best way 2 clear zits?

Please help me on how to get rid of a zit?

I have a big zit right in the middle of my forhead, and i don't know how to get rid of it. Anyone can notice it! Pleaz help!Please help me on how to get rid of a zit?
You wash with soap and water evry day and after you sweat alot. Dont pop them or you might push the dirt further into the pore.Please help me on how to get rid of a zit?
Ah! I hate when that happens, here are some things that usually work for me:


1) Use cover-up until it goes away


2) Buy one of those blemish removers


3) I know it sounds crazy but put some toothpaste on the zit before you go to bed. It will be gone in the morning, or smaller.


4) Put the green, palm tree oil, mask on it. (Sorry, not sure what it is called)


Sorry if I didnt help, this is what I usually do.
benzoyl peroxide with the highest % you can find. I go to the dermatologist and that is what they recommend without getting a prescription. try your best not to pop it. that can lead to scarring and craters...bad bad bad. try to be patient. if you are really prone to breakouts go to the doctor I waited years and now that I finally did it I am so glad my skin is beautiful now
This sounds crazy, but put toothpaste on it. It will reduce the inflammation and help dry it up. Not to mention make it feel better. Be sure to use regular mint toothpaste. Again, sounds crazy, but shows improvement immediately.
Squeeze it on both sides until it pops, puss comes out, and it bleeds a little. It will be gone in 2 days.
pop it and apply alcohol.
ugggh eww..





pop it fosho! x:

I need some homemade remedies for zits!!?

anything homeade. I tryed Proactive but by useing it I figued out that i have a alrgic reaction to benzoil proxside. so please help these zits are drivein me up the wall!.





(PS). I have a zit in my ear and don't know what to do. it KILLS!!I need some homemade remedies for zits!!?
Mix enough hydrogen peroxide with baking soda to make a paste. I do this in a little bathroom cup or in the palm of my hand. Then just put it on as a spot treatment or a mask for about 15 minutes then wash it off.


It smooths out your skin, minimizes your pores, helps your pores heal faster, somewhat evens out your skin tone and overall makes you feel better about yourself. (This description is built from the benefits I've seen about my own face.) It has worked the best out of the other treatments I've tried, even recommended dermatologist treatments and products (which smelt). I've tried benzoyl peroxide (it made my face red, and caused pimples at other places so it was like healing some pimples while causing other pimples in other places... yeah.) I've tried salicylic acid as well. It had not really help either. It made my pimples a lot bigger than usual. Another advantage I've found in baking soda mixed with hydrogen peroxide once a night is the fact that it had not caused a 'worse before it gets better' effect, not involving with the acne at least. It is also cheaper than most of the treatments that you'll find. Give this a try. :)


About your ear, I wouldn't put it in their unless you have one of those bulbs to squeeze all the water back out.I need some homemade remedies for zits!!?
http://ezinearticles.com/?Home-Remedies-鈥?/a>
you poor thing :(

wel you could always dab some toothpaste on it


or you could put lemon juice on it


or use topical zit creme





dont touch!!!


and change your pillow cases


and wear your hair up





good luck!
toothpaste lol it driez it out
I have also used toothpaste!! .. also a mix of baking soda %26amp; water,.. just enough to make a paste...just use it like a regular face scrub,.. then wash off, i also used some from this site, although some seem a bit crazy! http://www.fatfreekitchen.com/beauty/acne-home-remedy.html
Yeah, toothpaste does work for some reason. Also, Visine will help to reduce the redness and swelling. Don't know why but that's what the models use before a photo shoot. You can never tell what you will find on a model's face!!!

Need help on getting rid of zits i had been eating junk food for a month but not any more help me plz??!!?

okay i was at my dads and i was eating junk food but not any more someone said toothpast but i dont know im not eating junk any more


i am 14 and school is coming up in2 weeks i need them gone before then i need a cheep way to get rid of them and fast!!!Need help on getting rid of zits i had been eating junk food for a month but not any more help me plz??!!?
Diet has nothing to do with zits. That is an old myth. Be very gentle and don't over cleanse your face as irritation can make acne worse. Try a product with 2% salycyclic acid in it or 5% benzoyl peroxide. 10% will dry out your skin too much and cause peeling. Neutrogena makes affordable and good cleansers for acne. Use toner for oily skin and an oil free moisturizer. Depending on the severity of your acne, you may need to see your doctor and they can prescribe an oral antibiotic. Don't sqeeze or pick at them because it will make it inflamed and may leave behind a scar. If you want a home remedy, put egg white on it. I swear it works! I did this to a huge zit that I had a few days before a formal that I went to and it really shrunk it! Good luck and I hope this helps you!Need help on getting rid of zits i had been eating junk food for a month but not any more help me plz??!!?
Junk food does not cause skin issues. The best thing to do is drink lots of water and wash your face twice a day with a medicated acne wash - your skin will probably be sensitive for a few weeks so be sure to wear sunscreen. I would also recommend a facial moisturizer to help combat dryness.
oh my gosh! i'm in the same situation! or was!





See, my aunt bought me SkinClearing Foaming Wash from Neutrogena. I didn't think it would work, i just thought it was deep cleaning. But my skin is sooooooooooooo much better.





Yeah, and it's like, five dollars. and i've only been using it for four days.
Zits have to do with more than just junk food. They are a natural part of puberty because of hormonal differences. Just use a face wash like Clearicil.
Have you tried Proactive yet?
try the ance treatment from marykay.call my consultant her website is http://www.marykay.com/soniya


she is really helpful.it works and it is not very expensive.

Why shouldn't we pop pimples/zits?

i don't get why people say not to pop your zits.


why shouldn't we? and what happens to your zit if you don't pop it?


PLEASE HELP! i dunno what to do with this zit on my chin that hurts a lot...Why shouldn't we pop pimples/zits?
Popping them usually drives the infection deeper into the surrounding tissue than it was before you popped them. The resulting more serious infection usually requires a doctor's care.Why shouldn't we pop pimples/zits?
There is a right way %26amp; a wrong way to pop zits. You have to be really careful in popping zits because you can damage the tissue, skin, which can cause scars. Also, you want to make sure you clean the area before %26amp; after to make sure you help reduce spreading bacteria to cause more zits. Want for the zit to make a head %26amp; use a warm cloth on it. Then you can pop it. Be careful not to bruise the skin or it can cause scarring. If you are unsure, find a good Esthetician %26amp; have them show you. Good luck!
If you squeeze a pimple, some of the bacteria can be pushed farther under the skin, it creates an open area for more germs to enter, and it can make the pimple worse, or make new pimples close by. Also, squeezing can damage the area and create possible scarring/pitting. Those dark marks that appear after a pimple is healing aren't really scars and will fade, but pit style scars are permanent. Sometimes if a pimple is really close to popping, I personally think it would probably be ok to soak it carefully, gently with warm water and a wash cloth, but don't squeeze it. It will look redder and more noticeable if you do this, but it may empty out one that is about to pop. I doubt a doctor would recommend that, though. Any popped stuff is supposedly more likely to cause problems, but I've been in the situation where I'd rather go out on a date with an open one than one filled with gross white stuff. Don't pick at it, though. The best thing to do is to prevent the acne to begin with. The same thing does not work for everyone. I first got acne at age thirteen, and would get occasional large, cyst style pimples. By 14, I stopped getting acne. It was nice all through high school. Then for some reason in college, I got horrible, painful cystic acne. I felt really bad about it. It was all over my cheeks especially, but I also got it all over the rest of my face, including chest and back. I was so upset, and I finally went to the dermatologist. They do a combination approach. Often this includes tetracycline antibiotics, such as minocycline, which will really help with any of those painful ones. There will also be a face wash, currently I'm using sufacetamide face wash and sulfacetamide clear lotion, which is the only thing that has ever really worked for me, though clindamycin and benzol peroxide are other possibilities. salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide preparations are also often available over the counter, though I always needed prescription-strength. After you put on the face wash there will be a leave-on product. Then, there will be Retin-A. I use Retin-A micro. After that you need a good moisturizer. If your face gets too dry, it will break out worse. Sounds funny, but your face will produce more oil and you will break out, so your dermatologist will suggest Cetaphil or Oil of Olay oil-free moisturizer, etc. Then, the doctor will have you come in monthly for dry ice or chemical peel facial treatments. At nearly 30, I still get some acne, but with use of the medications, it is rare. I am now off the antibiotics for now. One other option for women is some types of birth control pills. Some people's acne is affected by hormones, and the pill may help those individuals. Stress reduction is also key, so any exercise is helpful, because stress can contribute to acne. If you want to get rid of a painful pimple currently on your face, I've found that if I start the minocycline antibiotic as soon as I feel the pain, and put a little extra of the topical product on, that it heals up faster. And your doctor may disagree, but I really wouldn't recommend Accutane. It's a last resort drug that is really harmful to pregnant ladies' babies. Also, it has really nasty side effects such as hair loss, weight gain, dryness, intolerance to contact lenses, fatigue, nausea, depression, suicide. Only do it if nothing else works. For some it has worked wonders, but I didn't want to risk it, and eventually over the years with the combination treatment approach, my acne improved somewhat on its own, however the dermatologist warned me that it could worsen if I ever got pregnant, due to hormone changes. He said he gets a lot of patients that are in their 30s, and stuff. So acne is just a lifelong battle for many people. Good luck, and find some medication that works for you to prevent scarring. I wish I had know about medication when I was 13. Maybe I could have prevented this hole on the left side of my nose. Good luck with treating your acne.
Because it may or may not leave a scar but personally i dont like to risk it cause i have enough acne scars and i cant risk getting anymore but i heard honey helps for pimples and toothpast helpes dry it up and make it go a way faster.Hope i helped:)
Scarring mainly.





I vote for the toothpaste too. It dries them out, and gets rid of the redness. Works for me anyway.





Popping them just makes it look worse anyway. I'd rather a small spot than a great big red mark.
becaues my dermatologist said not to


why?


leaves a scar


TRUST ME


i have post acne scars for popping pimples


but some of them scar some dont





DONT take a chance just conceal that sucker
def don't pop it but to make it go away faster put some toothpaste on it leave it for a while it will dry up and go away
They may leave a scar, you may get an infection etc.....





Personally, I risk it, I gotta pop it!
Because they leave scars, and spread the face with other pimples.
because it will get deeper and leave to u a scar so u can't get rid of it easily don't touch it
it can spread infection

You know that zeno thing for zits??

well.. does it rlly work? i am kindof thinking of getting it, so like if a major 1 comes up i could use it. but im wondering how it works %26amp; does it only work on big zits? and if u have it does it ACTUALLY work? or is it just like the other creams?You know that zeno thing for zits??
it works like a miracle! It takes 24-48 hours, but, unlike a cream, the zit is completly gone! You can use it on any size zit. you will see a little red from the heat, but it will go away quickly. it REALLY works.You know that zeno thing for zits??
it only works on fresh new zits, but it does work. :)

i'd just copy a patch of skin with no zits, and paste it over the zit, Photoshop has some good tools for this
use the clone feature, pic an ';OK'; area of you face, and then cover paint over the bad spot. it's not easy, I'm sure many people here would do it for ya for free.

Zits on my penis???????

I am a 16 year old male, and am NOT sexually active, and I have 2 zits on the shaft of my penis with whiteheads on them, and also I have tons of white bumps on my shaft too, but only 2 zits? Why do I have 2 zits and alot of white bumps everywhere on my penis? Is there anything I can do to get the white bumps and zits gone? Like a cream or something, best answers to these questions gets 10 points, thanks.Zits on my penis???????
SEE A DOCTOR, PROBABLY HERPES FROM YOUR MOM OR DAD. LEAVE THEM ALONE, DONT TOUCH IF YOU DO WASH HANDS VERY GOOD, TRY SOAKING IN BATH TUB. RELAX MANY PEOPLE HAVE THESE AND GET PASSED ON FROM FAMILY GENES,BLOOD, HY GENE (IT IS PROVEN POSSIBLE TO GET HERPES FROM TOILET SEATS)


BUT SEE A DOCTOR PLEASE FOR YOUR BENEFIT, DONT BE EMBARRASSED.Zits on my penis???????
Dude, all I know is when I was your age and got a rash in the groinal area...you DO NOT want to treat it with Ben Gay or Athlete's Foot Cream. My son also tells me that toothpaste is no picnic.
this might sound a little crazy but avoid masterbateing its hard to do at your age but try this is only irritating the bumps secound get a tube of clearisel. try this for 2 weeks you have nothing to loose except bumps good luck
I'm afraid the doc will have to amputate it. Sorry man.
masturbate that will bust the zits and smooth the bumps
Go to the doctor but don't be ashamed and they will give you some cream just like my cousin.
Since you aren't sexually active, it's not an STI. It could be an ingrown hair or acne. Please schedule an appointment with a doctor to have it checked out.


Good luck!
I don't have that problem :-).





but here is a good page on genital acne which may explain your problem.
The best bet is you probaobly need to see your doctor. I know you are not sexually active, but you can be born with one of those STD's through genes and not notice it until puberty or even after puberty.
That is pretty much the grossest thing I have ever heard of.
it might be harmless but i would surely see a doctor.what could be more important?
Stop touching ur face before you wack off
It sounds like in grown hairs to me. Good luck ~~~
zits are a normal reacttion to oily skin. You need more care down there. Wash more. They could also be warts...dont worry!! It's totaly normal...really....I used to be a medical assistant and I saw it more offten then not..the doc will treat you right on the spot. You will be fine. Book your doc apt now. Let me know how it goes.
the white bumps may just be some kind of infection from your soup.. and as for the zits i have had them on my virgina.. only twice in my life but it dose happen// if you never had sex i would not worry to much .. just change your soup you could be allergeric... if you have had sex and you think there may be promblen or if they come and go then i would see the free clinic on this one
Those are blisters. Use hand lotion.
Find a girlfriend, get her to lick them off!!!
See a doctor dude..It could be something that goes away but still it's best to get it checked out for any other possible reasons and they may have something remedy it. You may find something on WebMD.com though too.
wat
that's normal

Zits under the skin?

I was washing my face too good the last two months and some how i have zits under my skin... and they won't go away! Does anyone know anything about it?Zits under the skin?
You need to bring the pus to the surface. Put a hot rag on it, and keep at it. Also use your fingers and squeeze at it. I have one under my skin on my arm, above is advice my mom gave me on how to get rid of it.Zits under the skin?
its genetics. don't scrub so hard and us a cooling face wash and maybe some acne treatment but don go over bored


(there called blind heads i think)
I get them to and I know they hurt. There called citular pimples which grw under the skin. Gross I know but dont worry they will slowly come to the surface. at this time you have two options. pop it our leave it alone and let it slowly dissaper. They hurt when you pop them but I know your tough enough.

Zits! What do I do?????

I keep getting zits what do i do can anyone help me? please?Zits! What do I do?????
First of all, no one has flawless skin. Some people have it better than others, but thats just genes and stuff. Go to www.freewebs .com/reelbeauty11 for skin and beauty tips. I know its for young girls, but it works for anyone!





I know some people who have tried ProActive and it worked, but I also know some others who have tried it and it made it worse :( I know some who have put rubbing alchol on their skin or peroxcide to dry up the pimples. It also kills bacteria :) . Also, try going to a dermotoligist, or ask your regular doctor. Often times the regular doctor, who knows more about your med. history and whatnot can help you more than a dermatologist.





are you a vegetarian? That might have something to do with it. Its worth checking into.





Try dabbing toothpaste or honey on your zits before you go to bed - works wonders.





Overall, remember that beauty counts more on the inside than on the outside, and your true friends will love you for you, and not your skin.





Oh, and try a different kind of foundation, if you wear it. Try to use a kind with lots of water in it. It looks great and doesn't clog pores half as bad. And check your habits - do you prop your chin up a lot with your hands? That might cause the acne as well. Look for the cause, as well as the cure.Zits! What do I do?????
Thanks it helped my zits have been better and i'm not a vegatiaren i luv meat :) Report Abuse

very annoying isnt it...


u shud use ';tea tree oil mattifying moisturizer'; from the body shop. it's very helpful...just put it on after washing ur face before u go to sleep
Pro Active is great and the generic brand at Wal Mart is the same kit called Acne Free, only about 16.00. My daughter used it and it worked wonders. The original Pro Active is 50.00 plus. Use the Acne Free at Wal Mart;;;;;;;
First thing is DO NOT PICK at it. It could get infected. Wash the area with antibacterial soap. Put ice on it to reduce swelling and redness. Ask your pharmacist about the best acne medication he/she would recommend,and then follow directions for the medication chosen.Washing thoroughly and regularly will help,but not stop acne.If this blemish continues to get worseor if you start to run fevers, you could have a staff infection. I'm not trying to scare you. Just be sure to see a doctor if you suspect that it is getting infected.
omg. i totally sympathize. i swear that NONE of the products (even proactive) work on me.





ONLY USE A WET TOWEL. ok, so buy one of those tiny towels (about a foot by a foot or smaller) and then wash it with soap each time. Then rinse off the soap. So you have a clean towel EACH TIME. and then wipe your face. rinse towel and then wipe face again.





i guarantee that it works. i swear that since last week (since i started doing this) my zits have gone down by 50 percent or more.

Zits.... help please!?

I have oily skin and I've got zits basically all over. I don't even care about the smaller or less noticeable ones but i would like a quick home remedy for the disgusting super swollen ones. Tips and tricks on how to cover them would also be appreciated. Thanks a lot.Zits.... help please!?
Leave toothpaste on them (overnight maybe) and it will bring the yucky stuff to the top and dry it out. then if it doesn't go away hold a hot cloth to it. Also look in a drugs store for skin cleansers and something for oily skinZits.... help please!?
Since you have oily skin and acne, the oil is probably whats causing the zits. The oil is clogging your pores, so the best way to go about this is by clearing up the oil.





First, wash your face morning and night with an acne face wash for oily skin.





Drink LOTS of water. This will detoxify your body, making you have less oil secretions.





Wash your face with sugar until the sugar melts. This will exfoliate the skin.





If this doesnt help, you may want to take more extreme measures. Talk to your doctor about birth control, wich is a very effective method of clearing up acne.
Well, I use a gentle face wash in the morning just to get excess dirt and oil off and then use an oil-free fragrance-free facial moisturizer. Remember to moisturize because if your skin is too dry, it will go into over-drive and make MORE oil to make up for the dryness. Then I just use a regular concealer by CoverGirl. I hear using a green makeup pencil combats the redness of the acne, but haven't been able to use it myself. At night, I use a gentle exfoliating face wash (St. Ives) then followup with astrigent to remove and remaining dirt. Then moisturize. Then I use Terminator 10 acne treatment. It works for me :)





As for the actual big zits, try to not touch your face throughout the day. It transfers oil and dirt from your fingers to your face which clogs pores more. And try not to pick, but if you have to, do it at night so they won't be bright red before you go anywhere. And make sure you wait til they head up. If you try a couple times and it doesn't pop, its not ready and leave it alone for awhile.





I know that was long, but I hope I helped.
stop using over-the-counter medications, cover-ups, or whatever. they didn't work for me and were a huge waste of time, money, and frustration. go to a doctor and the doc can prescribe you medication that you take orally and a cream to rub on your face. it cleared up my acne in 2 weeks. but you will have scars on your face after the zits go away. you have to get those removed with laser treatments but they are expensive.
this is a very old trick! my great grandmother used to do it. Cut a piece of an aloe vera (i think thats how u spell it) plant. and then slide it in between till you get the gelly part and then put some on your finger and rub it on your face..Leave it on for about 45min (it will sting a little) and it will leave ur skin sooo smooth. it will dry it up a little the 1st few times so just put on some aveeno lotion =]. You can do this at least 3x a week, it works wonders!! try it and let me know how it works.

Wash your face twice a day in warm salty water. This should leave your face oil free without aggravating the acne. Check out http://usefulinfo-acne.blogspot.com/ for more useful info.

Zits and toothpaste?

recently ive had a ton of zits!!! does toothpaste work? how much do you put on, just a dab? i dont have any white toothpaste, only the pink gel with breath strips. how long to you keep the toothpaste in?Zits and toothpaste?
I dont know who gave the girl above the information to put a hot needle to a blemish but please dont do that.


Make sure to always wash your make up off every night.. you can use toothpaste but only white toothpaste.


It does not make the pimple go away it just takes the redness out. Your best bet is to get some zit cream. And dont pop it until it comes to a head!Zits and toothpaste?
It as to be the white toothpaste and you leave it on over night.
Dont do it! I did this about a month ago and I ended up with a huge red burn on my nose as well as a big chunk missing from where the zit was. The toothpaste burns your skin and may force a zit that isnt ready to pop to pop, leaving a huge hole where the pus used to be. If you must get rid of your zits, apply a warm washcloth to the zit for a couple minutes to draw the pus up, then sterilize a needle(hold it in the flame of a lighter for a few seconds)and poke a small hole in the center of the zit. Then lightly apply pressure to the sides of the zit(dont squeeze it, that will drive the bacteria down further giving you a worse blemish)until all the pus comes out. Then wipe it with a cool cloth. I dont reccoment doing this reight before you go out as it leaves a nasty red mark for about a hour. However, trust me once the hours over your zit will look MUCH better. I recommend you leave them be though, as popping them can leave scars.
toothpaste ia an abrasive substance. if your using soap switch to a medicated face wash. diet age genetics and your surroundings are giving u pimples.
Yeah - it has to be the white paste kind. I don't know why. Put a pea size amount on the affected area and then sleep with it on....wash it off in the morning.
I've used toothpaste to fill nail holes in drywall (dries like spackle)... can't see where that would help your skin really. Try a good astringent before bedtime after you wash with regular soap.
Only overnight, and the white paste is better. It works because it has Menthol in it, an Essential Oil. Menthol cools the skin and lessens the redness and is antibacterial. I prefer to use Tea Tree Oil for pimples, it has good antibacterial properties and you can also find it at you local drug store, 10$ Canadian, but the bottle will last a long time. I usually find it close to the Epsom salts. 1 or 2 drops will do for your whole face. Hope that helps.

BEST concealer for scars and zits?

something that covers EXTRAORDINARILY well! and doesn't clog pores andBEST concealer for scars and zits?
try physicians formula. they have a stick with green concealor on one end and skin colored on the other. it works great for covering up red marks and doesn't clog pores....just make sure you blend well or you'll look green :)BEST concealer for scars and zits?
I would go with a high definition foundation like Smashbox High Definition Healthy FX... fuller coverage without clogging pores. A concealer may just accentuate the scar. Another product to try is the various types of stage makeups they use for covering tatoos and birthmarks, for maybe a photo opportunity it would be useful. Otherwise these stage products may look unnatural in natural light.
Sheer cover concealer and foundation, is amazing.


also luminess air foundation, this is used in hollywood and also celebrities use it. it's even more amazing but more expensive as well.


if you're looking for something extraordinary i'd definitely try these.

I keep having cold sores. zits on lips, and corner of my lips.?

It cannot be herpes, because I'm not fully sexually active( which is sad). Can i get the herpes virus by kissing and touching?I keep having cold sores. zits on lips, and corner of my lips.?
Herpes virus has many different strains included the common chicken pox and shingles so it could be A herpes cold sore (most are) without being ';herpes!';. *laughing*





If that makes sense.





That said - I would still go get tested simply becuase you can carry the disease without having any outbreaks for awhile. If you've EVER been sexually active (including oral sex) than you ought to go get checked out.





In the meantime - Tea Tree essential oil is a kick-butt way to deal with cold sores. My dad gets them all the time becuase he quit smoking and it's his body's reaction to that withdrawl. But tea tree oil will take them away within just a day or two AND cuts the pain out almost immediately. I highly recommend that you find a GOOD source of essential oil that is organically grown and not poluted for use in the mouth though. Don't pick up just any old health food store brand.I keep having cold sores. zits on lips, and corner of my lips.?
yes if the other person has it ....use toothpaste nightly to dry them up has to be paste not gel it works very fast
