Got To Pop Pimples? Do It Right.
Pretty much every expert I've heard on this subject says to never ever pop your pimples. The reason for this they say is that it can lead to scarring, and that it just makes it worse. They're right.
But sometimes, a pimples just drive east so crazy that you need to pop it, because you just want to go way NOW.
Is there a way to pop pimples without scarring and making your acne worse? There is a technique that I use, and it works. I saw them on Oprah (give credit where credit's due), and have used it ever since. These days I don't have so much acne thanks to the system I use, but for the occasional pimple I still do this.
But first let's make sure that you know what not to do.
Please don't use your fingernails. This is a common mistake that many people make, but it just leads to scarring.
So what is the best way?
Some pimples are just not meant to be popped. I'm sure you know what I mean. Some of them no matter how hard you press on them, how much you dig your fingernails under them, or how hard you try, just will not pop. You need to leave these types of pimples alone. They will only get worse, if you try to pop them. When you have this kind of zit, use a pimple clearing mask or spot treatment on it. Your results will be much better.
To pop a pimple correctly all you need is your fingers, and some toilet paper or some tissues that don't have lotion on them. Use the toilet paper or tissues between your fingers and the zit as a buffer. Then apply pressure at the base of the pimple, do not dig under it, evenly and gently until the zit bleeds. It is important to wait for the blood, as this tells you that the infection is clear. This is the best way to pop a zit. It will make it feel better almost immediately.
