November 18, 2017 HOW DO I GET RID OF ACNE?? Hi Brandon! You know when you get those nasty-looking bumps all over your face? You know when it gets so irritating that you just want to pick them off but you can’t? Well, that’s happening to me. AAAHHHH! Please help me by telling me how to get rid of acne!! Pimple Problem Hey Pimple Problem, Oh man. Zits. Pimples. If I knew how to get rid of them, I’d be the richest teen you’ve ever met! If it’s any consolation, I get them too. So do most people I know. Because they’re pretty much due to hormones. And we can’t really stop them—they’re at their peak in our teen years. But, there are some things you can do to take care of your skin that could help. Here are a few things I learned while researching how to answer this question: Wash and moisturize your skin in the morning and the evening. I know it seems like a lot of steps. But washing is important because it gets the grime and excess oils off your face. And moisturizing is important, too—sometimes people with acne don’t moisturize, because they’re afraid their skin already has too much oil. But if you don’t moisturize, your skin freaks out and produces more oil. Exfoliate a couple times a week. Exfoliating is important because it clears dead skin cells off the top layer, so they don’t trap grime and cause spots. But too much can irritate your skin, so don’t do it every day. Change your pillowcase regularly. Think about it. You sleep with your face smashed on your pillowcase. If it’s got weeks of grime and sweat and body oils on it, then all that washing your face is for nothing. Drink lots of water. There are lots of good health reasons to do this. I can’t explain why it’s good for your skin, but I believe the internet doctors who tell me it is. ☺ Keep your phone screen clean. Phone screens can get super dirty, from all the touching and swiping…and then you hold the phone up against your face…yeah, that’s a recipe for zits. Keep your hands off your face. You might be noticing a theme here. But basically keep dirty stuff away from your face. And even if you wash your hands at all the normal times, your skin has natural oils in it and mushing the natural oils from your hands into your face is not great for your skin. If a zit is really bugging you, definitely don’t pick at it. But ice or a cold compress can help relieve the urge to itch or pick AND make the inflammation go down at the same time. So hey, thanks for asking about this! What a great question. How about the rest of our readers? Anyone else have special ways to manage bumps and breakouts on your face? Tell us in the comments.

Crazy Dork says December 14, 2017 at 12:38 pm I also have acne. My aunt says you should put toothpaste on your pimples, because the pimples will get dried and your done! I don’t know if this works, but please don’t try it ( your choice )
I feel weird says December 14, 2017 at 6:02 am I manage bumps by putting on beta dine (a special cream) to help the bump not swell and one more thing don’t itch it. I know so irratating but hey it works for me

Clear Skin Fairy! says December 11, 2017 at 4:19 pm To get a good clean use a hot towel soaked in hot water to wash your face and open your pores. Use a nice facial wash that gets a good clean I recommend Neutrogena rapid clear cleanser. When you apply your face wash use your fingers and rub in circular motions. Leave that on for 2 minutes and wash of with a wet warm towel. Use some tea tree oil on pimples (unless you’re allergic to tea tree) and then take some witch hazel on a cotton pad and rub it on your face. If you really want to go the extra mile use face lotion that fights acne and take a hair skin and nail vitamin (ask your doctor before taking the vitamin) – The Clear Skin Fairy
turtlegirl234 says December 11, 2017 at 10:38 pm Anymore tips? Do periods help or worsen the pimple sitution?? Thx
The Clear Skin Fairy says December 12, 2017 at 2:30 pm Periods make the situation worse since your hormones are fluxing the best way to reduce the situation during your period is to use zit cream and drink lots of water – The Clear Skin Fairy

Sympathizer says December 11, 2017 at 11:15 am I know what you mean. I use rubbing alchahol to get rid of the dirt on the top, and then use acne cream to work on the infected pores. The alchohal really helps me to get dirt out of my face (ewww gross) and I can say it helps a lot. this is really good advice brandon! im glad i read it, cause now i can take care of my acne better!
