I recently started getting random pimples. They kind of look and feel like bug bite for like ten minutes, then it turn into a red bump about the diameter of a pea. All that has changed in my daily rountine is that Ive been having to walk in really hot weather ( like 110 degrees). Could the temperature be causing these pimples?
yes as gross as it sounds i have been sweating a lot from the heat
what can I do to avoid these pimples?

 

Yes. Different temperatures cause your pores to clog.

So what do you do about it?

The tricky part about acne is that the problem can actually become worse if you overmedicate. That’s because acne medication can overdry the skin, causing a boost in your skin’s Sebum (oil) production. This results in…you guessed it – more acne.

So what’s the long term solution? Find gentler solutions or even natural acne cures that won’t shock your body into more breakouts. Here’s what I recommend:

- Use a glycerin based facewash. Glycerin is gentler and will balance the ph levels in your skin.

- For body acne, try using an antibacterial soap to slowly dry out the skin. If your skin gets too dry, switch to a moisterizing soap like Dove to counterbalance the effect.
- Wash your face only 2 times a day max and gently pat dry with a towel.

- Use a gentle face moisterizer if the glycerin based face wash drys you out too much.

- Eat almonds, fiber, drink lots of water and avoid excess sugar intake.

- If acne medication isn’t working or causing new breakouts, try applying egg whites to the pimples at night before bed. This natural remedy works great.

- One of my favorite natural skin conditioners is wearing an “oatmeal mask”. The oatmeal with smooth your skin while simultaneously absorb toxins and oils from your pores.

- You may hear some people say that toothpaste is a natural acne remedy. It’s true that this can work. However, it’s really the alcohol in some toothpastes that make the pimples go away. You’re better off foregoing the toothpaste and simply apply a dab of rubbing alcohol on a pimple after you pop it. The rubbing alcohol will kill bacteria and prevent further infection.

- Rubbing lemon juice on a pimple will also make it go away. The acidity of the lemon will dry out the clogged pore and balance the ph levels in your skin.

Best of Luck!

I hate toothpaste and it has ruined my life, I had a pimple and I put toothpaste on it (dumbest thing in my life). The toothpaste had burned my face and there was now a burn on the pimple. A day later the skin pealed and underneath seems to be an acne scar. I was just wondering how do you get rid of acne scars as soon as possible without having to do surgery.

Toothpaste is not good way to get rid of acne. You need VitaminE to reduce your scar. My reccomedation is Pure VitaminE oil cupsule.

You can also have a natural Vitamin E mask once a week
*Natural Honey-Almond Mask: This is mildly antiseptic.

1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons honey
10 drops almond oil

Whip until creamy.
Smooth on your face. Allow to rest for 10 minutes, then rinse with warm water and pat dry.
Store any extra in a jar in fridge.

Or you can also use wheat germ oils on your skin!!

Hope this can help you!
