Managing Acne

One of the things that my daughter hates about her teenage life is having to endure acne breakouts. She can be quite vain when she has to attend special school functions or several blind dates. I can't blame her though. Her mother used to be that way. Oh wait. My wife still fusses a lot about acne problems. Hence, an entry about acne management for today.

My wife says that women should always make it a point to wash their faces before they go to sleep. This goes without saying that makeup should be removed. My wife adds that pimples should not be squeezed out. This is because it will take a longer time for the pimple to heal compared to leaving the pimple alone. Also, makeup should not be used to cover the pimples. My wife says that it will just make the pimples more conspicuous. There is also a tendency for the skin problem areas to be more irritated.

Here are some other tips to help remove pimples. You may use toothpaste over the problem areas before going to sleep. Overnight, the pimples will dry out. Making use of egg whites over the pimples will have drying effects. However, use the egg whites sparingly. Lastly, you may use Visine eye drops to remove redness of inflamed pimples.
