I hate it when I break out in pimples and I was wondering if any of you could give me advice on how to get rid of them! Thanks!

pimples are usually caused by a bacteria and/or clogged pores. So use a cleanser that exfoliates(you know the ones with the little tiny sand like beads in it) and is an antibacterial.B)

wash your face at least once a day..maybe twice if you have very oily skin. when i break out i put *tea tree oil* on them....it drys them out and gets right of them. Emma lou:silly:

I'm in the same boat as you are...I never really had a problem with pimples in high school...except when I had my period. When I went to college though, they have gotten a lot worse. I eat healthier than I did before, but I was under a lot of stress my first semester at college. Now I am using Proactive...but it IS on the expensive side.

Thanks for your advice everyone! I actually do use Proactive (although not as much as I should...:blush: ) at the moment, but a couple weeks ago (you may or may not have seen this on the news) I was out of power (I live in WA state) for about 5 days or so and had a hard time being able to take care of my face by washing it regularly and stuff (I had no running water at my house during the power outage and I don't have a generator). After the power came back on, I had a bunch of huge pimples and didn't know how to get rid of them.... Thanks for all your advice everyone! I will be sure to use it the best I can!

i really don't know how to get rid of them but like when i see i get one i just keep washing my face and hope it'll go away soon but anyways, i try to wash my face every morning and every night and i use noxema and it works great with me!
