Can you share effective ways to cure or prevent pimples? Me what i just know is avoid sleeping late, avoid sweets like chocolates and oily foods like frieds, and wash your face regularly.

I use proactiv which works really well! All I have trouble with are whiteheads, those little boogers dont want to go away no matter what I do so now I use skintactix blackhead dissolver to dissolve the whiteheads and also a mask made of apple cider vinegar and cornstarch. Really seems to be helping.

Acne or pimples is a very common skin disorder that most young people get in early puberty. It is caused by inflammation of the small oil glands. Depending on the severity of your acne, your doctor may choose to treat you or refer you to a dermatologist. Acne can be treated with medications that are either applied to the skin or taken by mouth. Here are some tips which can help:- Wash your face twice a day with a mild cleanser. Make sure you wash your skin whenever it becomes sweaty. Do not scrub your face. Do not squeeze or pick at the pimples. This makes them worse and may cause scarring. Avoid exposing your skin to too much cold, heat and sunlight. Sunlight may improve your acne for a while, but it won't cure it. Use a water-based moisturiser. Greasy or oily creams and foundations block the pores and may cause pimples. Choose a sensible, varied diet, drink lots of water and exercise regularly. If you feel good, your skin will feel good also. Make your life tension or stress free. Best of Luck! 'n have a nice time. Bye

Actually, most people think that if they wash their face all the time, that pimples will go away. This is not the case. If you wash your face too much, it will strip away all the oils on your face, and then all the oils(which is what causes pimples)will come back double time. So wash your face once in the morning with water and once at night with soap. I use a gentle asstringent and it seems to work fine, Noxema. I don't use it though unless I get a pimple. Using asstringent all the time also strips away the oils. Hope this has helped.
