Is there any way to get rid of scars caused by popping pimples?

I know popping them is not a wise move and I won’t do it any more, but I want to get rid of the scars on my back from past pimples that I popped. (try saying that 5x fast lol)

Dermabrasion. They have to actually remove several layers of the damaged skin to get new skin to grow and fill it in. Depends on how deep the scars go. If that is out of your range, then I would try an Alpha-Hydroxy treatment. BeautiControl Cosmetics makes one that really works (and no, I do not work for them or sell their products-I’ve actually used it) called Regeneration. Just remember after applying anything containing alpha-hydroxy, you also have to moisturize. Alpha-Hydroxy is an acid. It will remove the damaged skin, but you have to protect the new and surrounding skin, too. Wait about 30-45 minutes after applying then use moisturizer. Even acne-prone skin needs to be moisturized. http://www.beauticontrol.com/products_SCrepair.html

What is the best blackhead removal product for sensitive skin?

Hey there. I have blackheads on my nose and chin and can’t seem to find a product to successfully remove them. Please suggest your favorites that cheap and ideal for sensitive skin. Thanks!

What I have found is that if you exfoliate gently with a good exfoliator like Lluvia’s crystal exfoliator followed by a good antioxidant serum and moisturizer you can get rid of those blackheads and prevent them from occurring.

I’ve never had many good things to say about cosmetics and skin care products, because if you want to be honest about it, probably 98 percent of the skin care products on the market are complete garbage. They do nothing whatsoever to beautify your skin, and, in fact, most of them actually harm your health, because they contain artificial fragrances composed of cancer-causing chemicals. When you put this stuff on your skin, it gets absorbed into your bloodstream and causes liver damage, or even DNA damage. It is a direct promoter of cancer. In fact, according to federal law, nearly all bottles of perfume, deodorant, lotion, shampoo and skin care products are illegally labeled, because they contain cancer-causing ingredients, and yet they have no warnings on the labels whatsoever to alert consumers about those ingredients.

But now there’s a new skincare product line from the Amazon Herb Company that is actually healthy. It actually contains only helpful ingredients. None of those harmful ingredients found in most other skin care and cosmetic products are found in this line. The line is called Lluvia, and it’s the first line of personal care products that I have been willing to stand up and talk about as being healthy. These products contain potent rain forest botanicals, but more importantly, they have no artificial fragrance, no fillers and no sodium laureth sulfate. They are not made with things like transmission fluid and brake fluid, which are the chemicals found in most other cosmetic products. This is an exceptional product line.
My strategy is to create healthy skin from the inside, through outstanding nutrition. I do this by eating raw foods and drinking raw food juices. If you ever want to see a bunch of people with a really vibrant, healthy glow in their skin, just go to a raw food group. Those who have been eating raw foods the longest will probably have the best skin.
But most of the world isn’t going to convert to raw foods, so most people need external nutrition for their skin, and in that case, I think this Lluvia product line is the very best I’ve found yet. If you’re going to put something on your skin, let it be this.
Lluvia has all the products you might expect in a skin care line: Cleanser, moisturizer, a deep penetrating oil that gives healthy oils to your skin tissues and a nice spray to spritz your face. In addition to these products, they have a camu C serum, which is loaded with camu fruit. As you may know, camu is very high in antioxidants and contains an extremely high level of vitamin C. If you put this serum on your skin, there’s no question about it: These nutrients will be absorbed into the skin and provide external nutritional.

Wierd white pimples I keep getting on my arms?

I keep getting white pimples on top of my arms and I am worried, because I get a few of them scattered on both arms, or I get one after another.

um so i have the same thing and my sister did before me until she was 25 so it kinda sucks and she has this lotion called Udder Cream it has cow spots on the bottle and she was gonna buy me some

I am not sure if they went away because of that or just because she got older

VERY IMPORTANT even though i cant help it i pick my arms and should stop because picking the zits too much cause scars

PS also burts bees buttermilk lotion is good and make sure to wash your arms. also try using a soap, bar or liquid, that has scrubbing beads in them. anyway i hope mine go away soon

Is there such a thing as being addicted to popping pimples?

I really like popping pimples. Usually I can’t leave them unpopped. This is gross, but is it weird? And is this an actual problem?

Yes. I am terribly addicted to picking my face. It is awful and I have finally seen a Dr. and stopped. I use to have perfect skin that is now covered in scabs, however, these scabs are healing slowly.

Please, stop popping your pimples and picking your face. You will regret it. I promise.

where can i buy blackhead removal mask?

I found that i have alot of blackhead on my nose n im use a blackhead removal mask that i don’t really like cos it make the skin on my nose dry n some time the skin on my nose peeled off by itself when im in an aircon area. it make me feel really uoset cos i use it in the right way that the package write but how my skin got dry. i wonder where could i buy a good blackhead removal mask? i stay in singapore.

I don’t know about a full face mask. But, I do know Biore has a pore strips for your nose. It’s called, "Biore deep cleansing pore strips". All it will do is remove the oil that your face is excreting and pushing it to the surface of the skin, which then oxidizes and turns black. Try it, maybe it’ll work for ya. Oh, and use a scrub once or twice a week.

What Clearasil product is best to help prevent and treat acne?

I don’t have many acne left, my face is pretty clear but I need a product that would help prevent them and treat them. Also good enough for me to use a daily to keep it clear. Which clearasil product works best?
My skin is not sensative but it gets oily only on the top of my forehead so I think I have between normal to combination skin

I would recommend the clearasil acne control 3 in 1 deep cleanser and the clearasil stay clear daily cleasing pads…thats what i use and it wrks great i dont get any more breakouts but i do get a pimple every once in a while…but those two products work great you should try them . Good luck !

What’s better, getting a facial or popping pimples and black heads yourself?

I’ve been popping pimples, black heads, and white heads myself for the past 20 years. I am careful about not getting obsessed when something won’t pop so I usually don’t damage my skin. How is getting a facial better than popping pimples yourself?

Good question. Well they usually use a steamer to open the pores and use special facial scrubs etc but I cant see any MAJOR difference.
