Don’t Squeeze Out Pimples!
If you pinch pimples, you increase the risk of infection and risk of severe inflammation
Pimples are extremely bothersome, especially if they appear on the face. Here’s why you should n’t squeeze pimples.
As we all know, pimples only sprout when we don’t need them at all: before an important appointment, a date, an interview or a photo session.
It only gets worse when you pinch the pimple …
Causes of Pimples
The development of pimples can have different causes:
- the changed hormonal balance during puberty,
- “Mallorka Acne”,
- wrong care products,
- minor injuries,
- Medication,
- Doping agents,
- Drugs,
- Contact with chemicals and other harmful agents.
Basically, these are small inflammations. It’s important that you keep this little inflammation from spreading!
The popular “squeezing” can result in more bacteria getting into the small wound that has formed or, for example, that pus is pushed back into the tissue and the inflammation worsens.
No matter what the cause of the pimple you want to treat, it is important to contain the inflammation and accelerate healing so that the pimple disappears without leaving any marks.
What to do about pus pimples
Pimples are annoying, annoying all day and can also become painful. Dermatologists advise not to squeeze out the pimple.
If you do have an urgent need for it, definitely put yourself in the hands of a professional, such as a beautician or dermatologist.
This is the only way to ensure that you do not make anything worse, because these experts know what is important!
If you want to do something about the pesky mini sore at home, try the following methods, all of which aim to dry out the pimple while disinfecting it and reducing the inflammation.
Maybe one option is right for you?
toothpaste
It looks strange, especially if the toothpaste is colored green-blue or even red-white striped, but it can actually help: the pasta lets it dry out and “seals” it.
This will help them heal faster and you won’t be tempted to express them open.
Tea tree oil
The oil from the Australian tea tree is a multi-purpose weapon and can also help against pimples!
The oil has a disinfecting effect and helps with healing.
Just carefully rub some tea tree oil on the pimple with your finger over and over again. The oil works best if you use it at the first tingling sensation and the first little reddening.
Healing earth
Due to its texture, healing earth is able to absorb toxins.
Because of these detoxifying properties, healing clay is particularly effective against acne.
The finest mineral particles also remove fat from the skin, which also makes healing earth an ideal skin care product for people with oily skin.
Healing clay has a degreasing, pore-deep cleansing and anti-inflammatory effect – ideal for everyone who struggles with pimples!
It is quite cheap and can therefore also be used over a large area, for example in the décolleté or on the shoulders / back.
Aloe vera
Use an aloe vera gel with the highest possible concentration for this. Dab on again and again throughout the day, this will shorten the healing process!
Aloe vera has a healing effect and can also accelerate the healing of other skin diseases. Aloe Vera is also well suited for facial care, you can apply the gel thinly under your day or night care.
Black tea
Brewed black tea bags, cooled in the refrigerator, help through the tannins they contain, that the vessels contract and the annoying pimple can dry out and heal better.
Please use pure black tea, no flavored teas or even with fruit!
Propolis
Propolis is a substance made by bees that helps against viruses, bacteria and fungi. In this way, the bees protect their honeycombs from attack by microorganisms.
There are creams with propolis, but it’s best to get propolis straight from the beekeeper and apply it straight away. Dab the liquid directly onto the pimple several times a day to help it heal.
