Who wants beautiful clear skin? This little guide here will help you get rid of acne quickly, and will make sure it won't come back!
Step 1
Don't pop your pimples. That is the most important thing! If you pop your pimples, bacteria will get inside your pores and just make them stay at least ten days longer.
Step 2
Get at least 64 oz. of water a day. (Try for more!) It will keep your skin hydrated and healthy.
Step 3
Take vitamins. It will just make your whole body healthy. Make sure to eat lots of fruits and veggies!
Step 4
Never touch your face! Your hands(no matter how many times you scrub them) have oils and dirt on them, if you get it on your face then it will not help.
Step 5
Don't try to wash your face a gazillion times a day. Washing your face too much will just make your face dry, which will make your face produce more oils, which equals, more acne!
Step 6
Washing your face two times a day should be perfect!
Step 7
Use a toner. Avoid those with alcohol because it will wipe out the oil on your face. Afterwards, it will produce more oil and cause more acne just like washing your face too much.
Step 8
Try acne cream/gel that has benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid listed in the ingredients. It helps most people, but if it doesn't work try stronger ones BUT not too strong or it will dry out your face and it will start peeling! Not nice.
Step 9
Try to go to sleep at reasonable hours.
Step 10
If after all this, you still have some acne, consult a dermatologist. There are antibiotics that can target infected skin and clear it up very fast for you.
Step 11
Avoid junk food.
Step 12
Wash your face with plain water only, and use apple cider vinegar as an astringent. The vinegar works minor miracles on the skin! One warning, though -- after you use the vinegar, your face will be bright red, but that only lasts for about ten or fifteen minutes.
Tips
- Benzoyl peroxide gels, and other over the counter products work really well. Talk to your doctor about trying one.
Exfoliate every four days with a scrub to get rid of dead skin cells.
Warnings
- Don't pop your pimples! More pimples will appear.
- When you get rid of those pimples, watch out for the rush of confidence. It's coming.
- And for that water don't drink more than 1 liter at a time.
- Even after your acne disappears, continue your routine for at least thirty days, sometimes more. Acne can continue coming back well after puberty; if your acne does come back, just pick your old routine back up.
- Acne is a stage everyone goes through and some things work for different people, if this doesn't work it is O.K. Try something else!
Things You'll Need
- Confidence. You know you're HOT! Don't let anyone tell you any other way. Beauty isn't always skin deep.
- A face wash. Wash your face morning and night.
