Popping Pimples and Acne Treatments

Do you have a big pimple that you want to pop? Popping pimples can release pressure and ease that pain, but popping zits can cause scaring and leave red marks behind on your skin. Before you pop pimples make sure you have done everything first.

Preventing pimples from forming at all will help you to stop pimple popping. How do you prevent acne? I am sure you have tried every kind of acne treatment under the sun and nothing has worked. Right? I know I have, and I have the miracle product to cure acne forever. I am just kidding, I just had to say it. There is no miracle product to cure acne.

Doctors don’t know causes acne. They know what can aggravate pimples, but they do not know the actual cause of acne And acne cannot be cured either. However it can be prevented. And again there is no miracle product to stop pimples from forming. If there was, nobody would have acne, because we would all be using it instead of popping the pimples. 

Acne Treatments to Prevent Popping Pimples

Finding the right acne treatments that works for your skin will help prevent pimples. Look over your skincare regime. If you have pimples and are popping pimples all of the time, perhaps it is time to start fresh. However, don’t go out and buy a whole bunch of new products and start using them all at the same time. Give a new product about a month to work. Let you skin adjust to it and see if you have any breakouts. Incorporate one new acne treatment into your routine at a time, because if you try them all at once you will not know which product is breaking you out.

Salicylic acid or beta hydroxy acid is the tried and true popping pimple prevention treatment. Before you buy a beta hydroxy acid treatment make sure is has the proper pH, this is essential for the product to prevent pimples and for the least irritation. If beta hydroxy acid does not work for you, look at alpha hydroxy acid, which is another chemical exfoliate, which exfoliates the surface of your skin. Beta hydroxy acid never worked for my acne prone skin, but alpha hydroxy acid did help prevent pimples from forming. It also helps get rid of post acne hyperpigmentation. Retinoids are another great acne treatment and they have the additional anti-aging bonus, they have help be stop popping pimples.

Remember, it takes time. Keep experimenting and you will find an acne treatment that your skin likes. Read reviews about people with the same skin type as you, but it all comes down to trial and error. Know that you can stop popping pimples one day, but it takes patience. Only one new product at a time. I know I keep mentioning this fact, but I wish someone would of told me it, decades ago.

If you must pop a pimple than make sure you and the pimple are truly ready. Also, don’t forget to wear a broad spectrum UVB/UVA sunscreen everyday rain or shine, especially with acne treatments that will make you more photo-sensitive to the sun. I know what you are thinking. Sunscreen, no way! Right? I didn’t start wearing sunscreen for a long time, because I was too scared that it would cause me to breakout. There really is no reason to fear, because there is a sunscreen out there for every skin type, even acne prone. Just keep trying them until you find the right one. Wearing sunscreen everyday will also help your acne to heal faster, because the skin is being protected from the sun’s harsh rays.

So before you start popping those pimples, make sure you really have tried everything to prevent them from even forming. Start researching skincare products thoroughly before you buy them. Know what the ingredients on the back on the ingredient list mean. You can stop popping pimples, have faith and find the right acne treatments for you.
