Steps For Safely Popping Pimples
Posted by admin in popping pimples on August 18, 2009
Who Should Pop Pimples?
- Anyone who has a big event to attend the next hour and worries about his/her look a lot
- If you are not in a hurry, it’s ALWAYS better NOT to pop them
What Kind of Pimples Can You Pop?
- Only if the pimples are whiteheads and only if the pimples are about to pop
How to Safely Pop a Pimple:
- Take a warm shower/bath to relax and soften your skin and open the pores
- Pat your skin using a clean towel
- Wash your hands with soap (this will not kill all the bacteria off)
- Carefully wash your skin with oil-free and non-comedogenic facial cleanser
- Use a guaze pad or cotton ball to dry the pimple, removing the remaining dirt
- Sterilize a needle through a flame (use a lighter)
- Gently touch the pimple with the needle to make the pus/liquid to come out
- Use another clean guaze pad or cotton ball to absorb the liquid until no more pus or blood comes out
- If the pimple does not pop, stop immediately
What NOT to do:
- Never pop significantly redden, swelled pimples
- Never pop a cystic pimple
- Only pop pimples that are ready to pop
Equipments
- An “oil-free” and “non-comedogenic” facial cleanser – Neutrogena Oil Free Deep Clean Cream Cleanser or Clean & Clear Continuous Control Acne Cleanser
- Sterile guaze pads (I prefer this over cotton balls, since guaze pads are sterilized)
