1. If You’re Going To Pop A Pimple, Do It This Way
Dermatologists and moms everywhere always say to never pop a pimple — it can cause
infections, scarring and, if done incorrectly, even more pimples. But let’s be honest,
sometimes when you see a big zit smack in the middle of your face, all you want to do is
pick and squeeze the life out of it. Resist the urge! Instead of telling you to leave your adult
acne alone altogether, let’s talk about the right way for getting rid of acne fast. This method
allows you the satisfying experience of popping your pimple without causing so much
redness, damage or irritation to the rest of your skin.
First things first, if you have a special event the same day that you are considering popping
your blemish, just forget it and leave your adult acne alone. Popping a pimple, even the
right way, requires a little time for the skin to heal; it’s harder to immediately cover up
broken skin and redness, and make it look good. If you have an event, just apply a thin
layer of your acne skin care products or treatments, apply a light gel moisturizer to create a
good base for your makeup, and then carefully blend some concealer and translucent
powder around the blemish to disguise it.
2. If you don’t have any big events on the horizon, make sure the blemish you want to break
is actually ready for this occurrence. If you can feel that the pimple is still deep under the
surface, it’s not ready, and picking at it will only make the bacteria push deeper into the
skin and cause inflammation. If, however, the top of the blemish is a big, white spot — or a
whitehead — it’s probably ready to go. Use your best judgment.
When preparing to pop your pimple, first use a gentle acne skin care cleanser to clean your
face, and wash your hands with antibacterial soap. You don’t want any outside bacteria to
make its way into your pores as you work. Heat up a towel in warm water, and lay the towel
over the spot for 15 or 20 minutes to help loosen the pores.
Then, get a facial tissue and tear it in half. Wrap each half around each of your index fingers
to create a barrier between your hands and your face. Then, using the pads of your fingers
(not the nails), use a very gentle pressure to press down near the edge of the pimple. Do
not press toward the center of the blemish, as this can cause it to move further into the
skin. Once the pus has been removed, use your anti-acne facial skin care products or acne
treatments to apply a thin layer of antibiotic so your skin can heal. From this point on, don’t
pick at the spot or it can get infected.
