Tired of dealing with stubborn pimples? You’re definitely not alone. Finding the best way to get rid of pimples is something many Aussies struggle with daily. At Acne Express, we understand the frustration those pesky spots cause, and we’ve got practical solutions that actually deliver results.
Why do we get those annoying spots?
Ever wondered why pimples show up at the worst possible times? It’s all about what’s happening under your skin. When your body produces excess oil and old skin cells don’t shed properly, they clog up your pores. That’s when the trouble starts.
What can trigger pimples?
- Hormone shifts
- Stress
- Food choices
- Family traits
- Things in your world
- Some face products
Top ways to beat pimples
1. Stick to a simple skin routine
Clear skin starts with doing these steps every day:
Morning:
- Wash with a mild face soap that suits your skin
- Put on a light, oil-free face cream
- Use sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher)
Night:
- Wash off makeup and dirt
- Apply your pimple treatment
- Use a light face cream that won’t clog pores
2. Try these pimple-fighting helpers
Some items work very well to clear spots:
- Salicylic Acid (1-2%): Gets deep into pores to clean them out. Works well on blackheads.
Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5-5%): Kills germs that cause pimples and cuts down oil. Good for red, angry spots.
Retinoids: Made from vitamin A. They help skin cells change faster and stop clogged pores. Great for tough acne.
Niacinamide: Cuts down redness and helps control oil while making skin stronger.
3. Hands off your pimples
It’s hard, but don’t squeeze your spots. Popping pimples can:
- Push germs deeper into skin
- Make spots more red and swollen
- Leave scars
- Make healing take longer
Better idea: put on a spot cream and leave it alone.
4. Watch what you eat
What you eat can affect your skin. Try to cut back on:
- Foods that spike blood sugar (white bread, sweets)
- Milk products (low-fat milk seems worst)
- Fast food and snack foods
Good foods for skin include:
- Oily fish with omega-3s
- Fresh fruits and veggies
- Nuts and seeds
- Lots of water
5. Cut down on stress
Stress can make your skin oilier, and more red. Try these stressbusters:
- Move your body daily
- Get enough sleep (7-9 hours)
- Try quiet time or meditation
- Do slow, deep breathing
6. Choose the right products
Look for the word "non-comedogenic" on your skin care and makeup. This means they won’t block your pores. This one step can stop many pimples before they start.
7. Get help when you need it
If store products aren’t helping, talk to skin experts. At Acne Express, our skin pros can make a plan just for you that might include:
- Stronger creams you need a script for
- Pills for bad acne
- Special treatments like peels or light therapy
- A skin care plan made just for your skin
How long until you see the results?
Be patient. Most acne treatments take 4-6 weeks to really work. Stick with it day after day for the best results.
Stop new pimples before they start
After you clear up your skin, keep it that way:
- Keep doing your skin care even when your skin looks good
- Change your pillowcase every week
- Wipe your phone and clean makeup brushes often
- Try not to touch your face
- Drink plenty of water and eat healthy foods
