Pimples are a common problem on the faces of teenage boys and girls. Technically pimples are papules and pustules. Papules are solid masses of cells and pustules are infected lesions. Pimples are actually whiteheads that failed to develop into blackheads. Instead of the pores becoming plugged, the pore walls break down and turn into a repository for oil, dirt, dead skin cells and bacteria. Pimples are usually called zits by adolescents. Pimple remedies are either short term remedies or long term remedies.
For the short term creams and ointments from the drug store will help to clear up your pimples but the underlying causes will re emerge and you will be back to square one.
Another short term remedy is to squeeze out the pimples. The pimples are red and cyst-like growths on the surface of the skin and though they may look unbecoming to the affected person, squeezing them is not the solution to getting rid of them. Other common actions can also worsen the condition and spread the bacteria by further inflammation, like over zealous cleansing of the skin, squeezing or picking at the pimples and use of greasy make-up products that can further clog the pores. Clear pores are necessary for natural oils to escape to the surface of the skin
So the question is how do we manage our diets and our health regimes so that our pores remain clear giving the oils a chance to reach the surface of the skin. In other words where are the pimple remedies?
Some people advocate vigorous scrubbing of the affected area. This is really a no no. Such an approach will actually do more harm than good. The best advice would be to leave the offenders alone, find out all you can about the condition and then when you are well armed with the necessary knowledge start your regime. There are many good information products about and pimple remedies available on the market, like the one below, that if followed properly will help you to rid yourself of your problem in a matter of days.
