Getting Rid Of Pimples Fast With These Little Tips

Posted on September 04, 2009 by Nikki Davila

Pimples are a common yet desperate problem for millions of people worldwide. Sufferers are constantly seeking and trying numerous methods and solutions for getting rid of pimples, and many have experienced repeated frustrations in the process. Although I am not inclined to try desperate measures, I prefer testing a few different approaches if nothing has worked. In this article, I will share with you some little tips that have helped me towards taming my outbursts of pimples.

Before you go any further, you need to be clear that these tips along will not give you complete acne cure. However, if you use them to aid your other treatment plan, you will see better and faster results.

Tip 1. Always Keep Your Hands Clean

Do you realize how many times you will be touching your face with hands each day? Do you scratch, rub your jaw line or chin, or rest your head in your hands? Many of us do this, and this is exactly why you need to keep your hands clean. We can have oil and dirt on our hands from whatever objects we have touched. When the oil and dirt go into your pores, they will clog your pores and lead your skin to acne problems.

Tip 2. Use A Clay Mask Daily

The dirt and excessive oil in your skin is often the primary reason for you to get pimples. Clay masks can help you combat these problems with its oil-removing and exfoliating effects. They can also trap bacteria and dead skin cells and thereby return you with a truly clean skin.

Tip 3. Toothpaste As A Secret Weapon

This may sound weird, but toothpaste does provide some relief to inflammations. Although this technique works wonders for some people, it does not work for sensitive skin or extremely serious pimple or acne conditions and may only work temporarily for a few others. What you can do is to apply a small pea sized amount of toothpaste to the affected areas for about 15-20 minutes, and then gently remove with lukewarm water. Remember not to scrub too hard.

As said, these small tips do work and provide relief for pimple sufferers, and sometimes the result is quite quick and highly visible. However, as you may probably have realized, in essence, all of these techniques are just putting a patch over an underlying cause. The real answer to getting rid of pimples is of course to fight them at the root.
