Understand why it's not worth squeezing a pimple

There is a strong temptation to squeeze the inflamed pus-filled spine as it bounces on the skin. It is not inexplicable, after all, who does not feel bothered with the dictate whose every time you look in the mirror? Not to mention the feeling that everyone is looking for the? Red light? in your face, right? But overcoming the urge to squeeze it is the best thing you do. Understand why:

Don't hurt your own skin

When you squeeze the pimple, it does not make it disappear. It may momentarily be, but then it gets worse, almost in a 2.0 version. This is because, by squeezing, you force the pus to come out, which hurts your skin and leaves it with an open wound. The big danger is that no matter how clean your hand is, it contains bacteria (especially under the nails) that will enter the skin and aggravate the acne picture. Moral of the story: By squeezing one, you practically guarantee the invitation for another spine to emerge. Or even more than one.

The issue of scars

After squeezing the pimple, you also end up getting a scar and this is permanent, it will only leave your skin after some treatments, peels and creams. That is, it does not pay. Not to mention that at the time of poking the pimple, the skin becomes redder and the problem even appears bigger than it is.

What about skin cleansing?

It helps a lot, especially in removing blackheads. But the beautician can squeeze your skin because she has the resources for it: sterile equipment, products that help open and clean pores and all the technique learned in many courses.

Ideally, skin cleansing should be recommended by your dermatologist. Often when acne is inflamed, it is best not to do skin cleansing and treat the problem with oral remedies. In some cases, even the scrub is not indicated and only your doctor knows for sure what is the best way to cure your acne.

How to act when the spine arises?

When acne does not occur often and is not so large, it is best to apply a drying gel to it before bed, after cleansing the skin well. This type of product usually contains in its formula salicylic acid and benzoyl extract, two substances that help the pimple to dry faster, naturally, without causing damage to the skin, since they kill the bacteria in the region, treating from the inside to out.

Cleaning routine

• When you wake up, wash your face with anti-acne soap. Then clean the skin with astringent and apply the sunscreen gel (oil free, so as not to clog the pores). If your skin has more apparent acne, there are gel and cream that should be used at this time as well.
• Before bed, clean the skin with soap and astringent and use anti-acne ointment and drying gel.
• Once or twice a week (according to medical recollections), use an exfoliator. It helps to remove dead tissue from the skin, ensuring clear pores.

Always with a prescription

All products should be prescribed by your dermatologist, ok? And never use homemade recipes to dry pimples faster, like toothpaste in acne. Toothpaste has no proven effect and can still irritate your skin, leaving the region even redder.
