More and more people suffer the on set of zits everyday. Years back, most people thought that zits are only suffered by teenagers but that is simply not true. These are some of the tips on how to get rid of zits you can try to help you on your way to wage war against zits.
Using an acne curing mask that you wear overnight is a great way to stop that zit dead in its tracks and will help get rid of the zits overnight. Most acne masks contain acne fighting medication as well as other ingredients that promote general skin health. Since they stay on all night long, the zit is literally bombarded to death, while the rest of your skin is gently moisturized and exfoliated. In the morning, the zit will be noticeably smaller and your skin will have a healthy, warm glow.
Acne Treatment. Treat acne with specialized formulas that are known to give a satisfying result. One of the best acne treatments is Proactiv Refining Mask. It is a medicated skin treatment that is developed by dermatologists. It is deep cleaning, refining skin that’s prone to pimples.
The more sensitive your skin, the lower concentration of active ingredient you will need. Choosing a product that is too strong could actually make the situation worse by over drying the area and causing the skin to react by increasing oil production. This can end up causing more acne. If you have sensitive skin, stick with the milder formulations.
Take aspirins in a cup or bowl and crush them. Add a few drops of warm/hot water, aloe-vera gel or honey and make a thick paste. Apply on your face and wash after 15 min.
Whiteheads: Pores get completely blocked by sebum (oil), bacteria, and dead skin cells. The combination looks white on the skin’s surface. Though these things are tempting to squeeze, it’s generally better to leave any kind of acne eruption untouched. But if you must squeeze or pop one, make certain your hands are clean and that you mop the site afterward to remove any residue.
Don't poke, prod, scratch, or squeeze any zit. Excessive touching of a zit will only irritate it, causing it to become even more inflamed and last longer. The bacteria from a zit can also linger on your hands and beneath your fingernails, spreading to other areas of your face and body and causing more zits.
If you notice a zit just before going to bed, wash your face with a mild soap and dab toothpaste (not gel) over it. Wash off the dried paste in the morning. The chances are that either the zit will vanish or atleast be toned down.
Zits are not caused by dirt or surface skin oil. So scrubbing your face will not give you clear skin any faster. In fact, if you wash or scrub your face too vigorously, you can irritate your skin and make the acne worse. Best solution? Wash your face gently with a mild soap or cleanser. And stop zits before they start by using a combination topical and internal treatment for continuously clear skin.

Suggestions for Severe Acne?
By: nycsc8 | 13-07-2008
Acne problem. My daughter (25) starting getting real bad acne abt yr ago. At first Clearsil started to help. Then it got worse. In the past year she has spend so much in trying to clear this problem. Proactiv, Murad, Xango. None are helping, some seem to make it worse. Went to dermatologist, got a Rx for some cleansing solution (Benzy something or other) 5%. Didn't work, went to a different doctor who should be investigated for his rude behavior. Gave her a Rx for another medication but said it probably won't help. Really upset her. Has anyone any other suggestions? She watches what she eats & drinks thinking that was the problem. Still after a year, it doesn't improve. HELP! Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thank you
