Beauticians and dermatologists are in agreement that acne should be left alone in order to avoid marks and scars.
While most people know that this is best for their skin, most do not feel that it helps their social lives in any way.
Therefore, people continue to squeeze.
However, by Popping Pimples Right, at least one can avoid marks.
White heads are small pimples with a white tip.
This show that the spot is ready to pop and drain.
A sterile needle or pin and clean tissue paper will be all the tools needed.
Rubbing alcohol or a flame from a lighter can be used to sterilize the needle.
This has to be done with clean, freshly washed hands.
Wrapping the two index fingers in tissue paper will prevent the nails from scratching the delicate skin and from dirt being transferred to the skin.
The tip of the white head must be pierced by applying very gentle pressing down on the skin surrounding the pimple.
Pressure should be applied from underneath to force the puss through the open hole.
Once drained completely, the hands and face should be washed thoroughly.
The needle or pin should be sterilized again.
Blackheads are pores that recently became blocked.
Dirt and oil block pores and the blockage turns black.
Though they are not pimples yet, they will become pimples if they remain clogged.
Frequent washing and exfoliating will reduce blocked pores.
If a blackhead starts to build pressure under the skin surface, gentle pressure can be applied around it before washing.
If washing, exfoliating and gentle pressure is not enough, one could try a short steam bath or a hot towel over the face to soften up the skin and open the pores.
If a pimple is removed correctly, it may be beneficial to helping it heal.
The best time to do this is after a shower.
After Popping Pimples Right, one could wash the face with an antibacterial face wash.
