Pimples most commonly occur on the face but are also quite common on the neck, back, shoulders and cleavage. They build when bacteria infect the oil glands of the skin. As a result of the infection, the skin gets filled with pus and forms an unattractive-looking swelling on the surface of the skin.

Luckily, there are many simple ways to avoid pimples and to cure them fast when they show up without warning. How to Avoid Pimples Cleanse and Exfoliate Your skin needs to breathe and you need to help it by performing a thorough cleanse twice a day. Wash your face with warm water and a gentle face cleansing product, then dab it with a clean towel.

Once or twice a week exfoliate the skin on your face and neck either with a home-made MediaFamily.org Copyright 2018, All Rights Reserved 1
product or a peeling you can buy in a drugstore. Regular exfoliation not only removes dead skin cells and unclogs the pores, but also leaves the skin more fresh-looking and radiant.

Hand Off the Face Your hands are full of bacteria even if you wash them regularly. The more you touch your face, the more bacteria you transfer onto the skin. This is the simplest way to get a skin infection. For some people touching the face is an unconscious act and it s usually them who complain most about their skin condition. Remember that whatever comes in contact with your face, like your makeup brushes or your phone has to be well disinfected regularly. Otherwise, you will be bringing the same bacteria to your face over and over again. Also, tempting as it may seem, you must not pick at the pimples or try to pop them. The less your hands will be involved with the affected spot, the sooner it will disappear.
