Not only teenagers have the problem of unexpected breakouts; pimples affect almost everyone's skin from time to time.

A pimple starts when a hair follicle is stopped up with dirt and oil which allows a build up of sebum. Bacteria, whose favourite food is oil, begin to stick to the sebum, resulting in inflammation. The redness and swelling finally forms a pimple.

A breakout can be caused by several factors: progesterone-dominant birth control pills, some medications, stress, iodine found in seafood and supplements and, of course, your hormones.

You must always avoid touching a pimple. The dirt and germs on your fingers can probably cause a worsening of the inflammation and the infection will be transported to other areas of your face.

This is what to do to avoid a worsening of your pimples.

Your skin must be cleansed regularly. A dirty skin is not a beautiful one. Keep your skin clean with the proper skin care products that will compliment your skin type.

Always prefer oil-free cosmetics. The oil and other heavy ingredients will clog your pores and this will lead to skin breakouts and skin eruptions. Use natural, light cosmetics and keep an eye on how long you keep them. There is a chance that bacteria will build up in the liquid and there is also the chance that the make up will spoil after a while. Throw away all cosmetics that have been stored for more than one year (some cosmetics can last for only 6 months).

An efficient pimple remedy is a mixture with equal parts of organic apple cider vinegar and distilled water or previously boiled water. Put the combined solution on the pimple using a clean cotton pad two or three times a day. In a few days the pimple will be almost not even there. After the pimple inflammation has gone, apply a milder mixture of one cup of pure water mixed with one table spoon of organic apple cider vinegar. Store the mixture in the refrigerator in a clean sterilized container and try not to put the cotton pad directly on the container and always use a clean cotton pad.

Clear white vinegar should not be applied on your skin, because it is not made with the care that the organic vinegar is made with.

Finally, you can also clear your pimples using lemon juice. Use a cotton tip to cover your pimples with lemon juice. They will clear up in a few days thanks to the antiseptic properties of the lemon juice. Be careful: if you put the lemon juice all over your face, you will make the entire area lighter and this may make your pimples stand out even more. Make sure you put the juice only on your pimples, to prevent your skin from becoming lighter.
