   Tips for Preventing Acne and pimples[find out] 

What is pimples?

 A pimple is a small pustule. Pimples evolves when sebaceous glands, or the oil glands, become clogged and infected, and lead to swollen, red lesions filled with pus.

 causes of pimples:

1. Stay hydrated

If you’re dehydrated, then your body may signal your skin’s oil glands to produce more and more oil. Dehydration also gives your skin a dull and bad looking appearance and promotes inflammation and discoloration.

Now to keep your body well-hydrated,Your aim is to drink at least 8 glasses of water each day.

Drink more:

• when spending time in a hot, humid environment
  
• when pregnant or nursing
• and after exercise

2. Properly wash your face

Pimples can appear anywhere on your skin, and they most often occur on the face. While the skin microbiome is complex, real scientists have identified a bacteria which is called Propionibacterium acnes and that can cause acne breakouts. This bacteria causes inflammation when it turns sebum, the oil is found naturally on skin, into fatty acids.

The removing excess oil, dirt, and the taking of sweat daily can help prevent pimples — but washing your face too much may make acne worse. 

To wash your face, you have to:

1. Apply a mild cleanser in a gentle, circular motion using your fingers, not a washcloth.
2. Rinse thoroughly.
3. Wet your face with warm (not hot) water.
   
4. Pat dry.

3. Also, don’t be a pimple popper

Well it might feel practically impossible to resist squeezing that larger-than-life whitehead on the tip of your nose, but your best bet is to avoid popping zits.

Popped pimples often bleed, but they can also make the problem worse by:

• becoming inflamed and clogging surrounding pores
• getting infected
• leaving behind scars

 

4. Make use antibiotics

If OTC acne treatments don’t make much difference, a dermatologist can prescribe antibiotics to help reduce inflammation and bacteria on your skin. Antibiotics, which come in both topical and oral forms, work by reducing the amount of Propionibacterium acnes bacteria on your skin, which can also help ease breakouts.

Your dermatologist might recommend:

• topical antibiotics like clindamycin (Cleocin) for mild acne
• oral antibiotics like doxycycline (Vibramycin, Doryx) for severe acne
• using benzoyl peroxide gel along with your prescribed treatment
  

5. Avoid certain foods

Some of the common culprit that contributes to skin concerns like acne include:

• processed food
  
• alcohol
• dairy products
  
• refined sugars

Reducing all your intake of these foods or even adopting an anti-acne diet can really help you ease your breakouts. If reduction doesn’t seem to help your acne flare-ups, you can try an elimination to more clearly identify the causes. 

 

If you work with all this, then you have a great chance of avoiding pimples.
