Whether enduring an occasional flare up or an intense case of cystic Acne, reportedly 85 percent of people between the ages of 12 and 24 suffer from Acne. Still, many people don't completely recover from this "disorder" until they reach their thirties. Even if you don't consider an occasional that-time-of-the-month breakout to be Acne (your dermatologist probably would), chances are zits are something you could do without. Help is on the way...
Banish the Blemish
If pimples are more of an occasional annoyance, we've got tips on how to cure and conceal these little complexion crashers. First up, whiteheads; based on everything every other expert on the earth says, we should be telling you not pop these pesky pimples but we can't think of anything less realistic. Plus, anyone who has ever tried to conceal a whitehead knows that it is basically impossible. So, while we do not want to discuss pimple popping techniques, suffice it to say that if you MUST, cleanliness is king: clean face, clean hands, clean everything to avoid spreading bacteria and worsening your condition. When it comes to whiteheads, prevention is key, opt for a mild cleanser that contains benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid.
Blackheads are a bit more difficult and for our money, they are best left to be exiled by an experienced esthetician. Preventing blackheads is tough, but with regular maintenance you can keep skin mostly blackhead free.
