How to Get Rid of Pimples on Lips

by

Pimple on lipsPimples on lips are irritating and uncomfortable and extra precautions should be taken in order to get rid of them.

They may be caused by hormonal changes in the body, oily skin, a poor diet, stress, or you may simply be prone to a pimple on your lip line.

To get rid of lip pimples, you need to gather certain supplies for pimple treatment.

You will need warm water, a medicated soap or a soap suitable for oily skin, a clean washcloth, cotton balls, astringent, cotton swabs and a bandage.

The first step is to soak the washcloth in hot water. While it is soaking, tie long hair away from the face so that it won’t get in the way.

pimples on lipsSplash warm water onto your face, then lather the soap in your hands and apply it to your face, using your fingertips and working in gentle, circular movements. Wash the rest of your face before washing the lips, to stop transferring oil and bacteria to the spot. Wash the area with the lip pimple last using small, light motions. Repeat this process three times every day for several days.

Take the hot washcloth and let it cool just enough so that it is tolerable on your skin. Position it directly on top of the lip pimple and apply gentle pressure for around 5 minutes. Using it as a hot compress reduces swelling and minimizes irritation to the skin.

Does Junk Food and Chocolate Cause Pimples?

what causes pimplesBelief: Pimples are caused if you eat too much junk food and sweets, especially chocolate
Truth: Your diet will not directly cause bad skin, pimples and acne breakouts. However, a junk food or fast food diet or one that is full of too many refined sugars (like in sweets and chocolates) may rob your body of the vital ingredients it needs to be healthy. As our skin is the largest organ of the body, it is only common sense that if you are not giving it all the nutrients it needs to be healthy, problems are going to start sooner rather than later! So, whilst bad diet may not be one of the direct causes of pimples, robbing your skin of vital nutrients is definitely bad for your overall health too.

quote from www.medicinenet.com on the causes of pimples and acne:-

“Food: Parents often tell teens to avoid pizza, chocolate, greasy and fried foods, and junk food. While these foods may not be good for overall health, they don’t cause acne or make it worse.”

How to Use a Pimple Extractor Tool

by

Instead of prodding and poking at your pimples with your fingers, which can often cause scarring or transfer bacteria to the skin (from traces of dirt and oil on your hands), try using a specially designed pimple extractor tool.

This is a simple tool, but can be highly effective as a pimple treatment if used correctly. It removes dirt from deep within the pore, clearing the existing blemish and helping to prevent future outbreaks.

A pimple extraction tool is available from pharmacies and many other stores. As well as the tool itself, you will need some rubbing alcohol. Take the time to prepare your skin before using the tool. The best time to use it is immediately after a hot shower or a facial steam (hold your head over a bowl of boiling water, with a towel over it to collect the steam) because your pores will be open and your skin as clean as it can be. Alternatively, soak a washcloth in hot water for a couple of minutes, then place it over your skin for a few minutes. For more information on pimple extraction, take a look at the Wikihealth website.

pimple extractor toolYou will see that the tool has one looped end. This end should be placed flat on the surface of the skin, with the opening encircling the spot. Using the tips of clean fingers, apply pressure in one slow, even movement.

This should force the oil trapped inside the follicle out. If it does not seem to be working, take a break from it. The contents of the blemish may not be ready to come out, and forcing it can lead to scarring and even infection.

The other end of the tool has a lancet end, which can be used to extract whiteheads. This should be sterilized with the rubbing alcohol before you start the process. Again, make sure the whiteheads are ready to pop, and don’t try piercing deep, cystic blemishes.

How to Get Rid of Pimples on Your Back

by

Are you desperate to know how to get rid of pimples on your back? Have you tried various pimple treatment creams and ointments with little success?

Maybe you need to start from the beginning and look at what is causing the blemishes. Back acne is no different from acne on the face; it is caused by blocked pores.

When an excessive amount of sebum (oil) is produced, dead skin cells get trapped in the pores and this attracts bacteria, which leads to pimples. This over-production of oil may be down to hormones, genetics, stress or diet and lifestyle factors. Teenagers often suffer from back pimples because their bodies are going through puberty, which plays havoc with hormones.

how to get rid of pimples on backYour first step in how to get rid of pimples on the back is to adopt a regular washing routine. Take a shower or bath every day, use an anti-bacterial soap (use a mild product on sensitive skin) and pay close attention to your back. Avoid excessive washing however as this can dry the skin out.

If you often play sports, jog or you have a physically demanding job that causes you to sweat, take a shower as soon as possible afterward, to stop the perspiration getting trapped against your skin, mixing with the dead skin cells and oil, and increasing the likelihood of pimples.

The next important step is exfoliation, which you should do at least once per week. This removes dead skin cells. Try different types of exfoliators, such as loofahs, body brushes and scrubs, until you find the one that works best for your skin type. A sugar-based scrub is preferable to a salt-based scrub, as it will be more gentle on your skin. As with all skin products, keep an eye out for any adverse reactions.
