Pimples Not Just For Teens!

Contrary to some myths about acne, pimples are not for only teens going through puberty & hormonal turbulence.

In spite of the fact that the highest percent of the population that may have to deal w/ unsightly pimples, it can affect just about anyone and speaking from personal experience, if left untreated, pimples can be just as debilitating physically and emotionally on grownups as it is for teenagers.

Actually, adult pimples may even be more devastating since there is no excuse such as “it’s just puberty, you will outgrow it….” I guess all the somebodies who tried to console me as a teenager, who sadly had to deal with pimple till I was about 22, were wrong. They meant well, but were still wrong.

Now, adult pimple plagues 25 percent of adult males & up to 50 percent of adult females, though often unrecognized. Consequently, how to effectively control this predicament is obviously necessary.

Although, conventional handling of pimple for adults and teenagers are what a good deal of the population turns to, based on my experiences and dare I say common sense, what worked for me are natural acne remedies.

Since treatment and control for adult acne does not differ drastically from that for teens, with drug-free healing, these simple steps could be used by anyone coping w/ acne problems.

1. First, I care not what some sites & product endorsers say about how diet doesn’t affect acne; you have got to make a change in your eating habits, plain & simple. You are what you eat. If you want to have clearer skin & the added bonus of improved health, of course eating right is important. That said: Fruits & vegetables friends. Shop more in the produce aisle and steer clear of the snack stands at the cash register. It’s worth the sacrifice and this forms the basis of an internal pimples treatment right there from its root cause.

2. For external pimples care, you could learn such simple tips as facial massaging & exercises. However, (now I’m speaking from what I went through and believe me I had pimple BAD…) simply washing your face with nothing but clean hands and plain cool water may perhaps be the most efficient way to clean the pores. Combined w/ the facial massaging and occasional steaming of the face, this will be very sufficient to clean the skin.

3. Change your pillowcases daily & make sure you have a towel exclusively for your face or you could employ the use of paper towels.

4. On that subject, try to also sleep on the right side. Besides checking against contamination getting on the face, this is great for the heart & lungs & allows for a better & restful sleep (which co-incidentally helps with controlling pimples.)

5. For males, when shaving, shave in the direction of the hair-growth (mostly downwards) & for an after-shave procedure, look into face massaging & occasional facial steaming as well.

6. Avoiding the use of elaborate & inadvisable makeup regimens is advised. Besides, the clearer your skin becomes, you will see less of a need to have to spend time using make-up.

7. Deal with stressful situations smartly. This is another topic into itself but briefly these work: Proper diet (factor #1), proper thinking habits and exercise. For stress, allow me to mention Yoga - not enough space to explain, but do believe me.

Adult pimple can be frustrating and embarrassing, but w/ the steps above, take it from a guy who went through it and doesn’t have the problem anymore, you definitely will be on the path to clearer skin. Empower yourself w/ the use of these tips to be free from adult pimples starting today.
