Answer 1

BACTIERA

Answer 2

Hormones cause pimples. But so can chocolate and soft drinks. Try to drink mostly water for the next week and lay off sodas and soft drinks. But you also have to use facewash day and night. You should try Acne Free. You can get it from Publix or Online. It is about 20$.

Answer 3

open pores

Answer 4

The cause of pimples can be many things. It could be stress, or your hormoes going through a change. (Your period) maybe you aren't eating enough heathly foods, and drinking enough water.

Make sure you get a good facical wash,cleanser and toner. Exfoliate everyday to remove the later of dead skin.

Answer 5

Iam a Registered Nurse and I specialize in skin care and teen acne.

In my experience of 12 years alot of  commercial store bought products DO NOT WORK!

Your question is very broad and you need to get professional advice. Iwill explain why it's a broad question!

Your age plays a role! How old are you? Do you always have breakouts?

However, acne can result from several factors such an increase in hormone levels. In males testosterone or androgens. In females, androgens respectively. The increase in androgen levels can stimulate the oil glands to become enlarged and thus more oil production is produced. An increased oil production can clog the pores with oil or sebum ( white thick substance) which cause the cell walls of the pores in the skin to breakdown. This process allows bacteria to form and thus breakouts develop.

Genetics may also be a cause. It is a myth that greasy food or chocolate causes breakouts.

However, using make-up sponges that are not changed or washed often can contaminate the pores with bacteria which may develop into acneic breakouts.

If you are a teenager ( which I assume that you are) your hormones play a definite role in your breakouts.

If you have severe breakouts than you might need medication. There are many factors.

The most important thing is that you need products that are AGE APPROPRIATE! Every age group has different products appropriate for them. If you are young than you need milder products as to not dry out your beautiful young skin.

The problem with commercial skin products is that they are manufactured for MASSES OF PEOPLE and are not specifically made for different peoples' needs.

Your skin type is different than mine and your age differs from mine so how is it logical that we both use the same skin product for breakouts. We need different strengths of cleansers and toners. Do you kind of understand what I am getting at?

Here is my STRONG SUGGESTION for you. I refer all my students and patients to this website:

www.aboutyourskincare.com

You need to consult with professionals and on this website YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS FOR FREE AND A SKIN EXPERT/PHYSICIAN WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. It would be a shame if you dont take advantage of this free service.

Lastly, they have incredible products for breakouts and they make them specifically for every kind of skin type. That means that if your breakouts are more severe than mine, than while we both will buy the same product yours will have stronger ingredients than mine will.

They have a mild glycolic acid cleanser that's great for your type of skin and also a DRYING LOTION ( I have 3 bottles) that you put directly on your breakouts and the next day it's gone. It's truely magic in a bottle.

A basic guideline for properly taking care of your skin is this ( now if you're a young girl you will need fewer products than this):

Night time:

1. Exfoliate the skin

2. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser

3. Mild Glycolic Acid Toner ( cleans off the excess debris and balances the PH level of the skin).

4. Drying Lotion used only on breakouts

5. Moisturizer

Morning:

1. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser

2. Moisturizing cream

The above is a standard you may need to only use one or two products. Visit: www.aboutyourskincare.com

Good Luck to you,

Answer 6

Also if its very dirty, like i got a pimple on my neck because i kept touching there. When you wash it every night then it will go away in  3-4 days. If you pick at it it can last almost weeks. Although picking it seems right, dont do it!

Answer 7

your face might not look oily but it really could be... if your a teen it is normal to have pimples because of the teenage hormones.  You get pimples from your pores being clogged so don't touch your face and if you wear makeup some products contain oil and it will clog your pores, so but non-comdgenic products and oil free stuff

Answer 8

you MUSt wash your face every morning and night before you go to sleep. you get pimples because dirt clogs up your pores which causes pimples. so wash your face!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 9

Wash your face every hour. Wash it thoroughly with WATER. (anywhere you are!)

Yes, WATER ONLY.

Don't make your hair touch your face, it carries all the dirt in the world.

Make sure that you use clean towel in drying up your face.

Try this WATER-ONLY routine for 2 weeks if it works for you.

And ALWAYS wash your face before you go to bed.

TRUST ME ON THIS. :)

Answer 10

hormones

Answer 11

the  main cause is the deposition of dust in ur skin...

the bacteria deposited causes pimples but sometimes d excessive tension also leads to pimples..

u just need to relax..dont get tensed n keep ur face always clean..wash it abt 3-4 times a day

Answer 12

it is blocked pores usualy caused from too much sugar, dont worry most people get them

Answer 13

Clogged pores.  Wash with plain hot water, that will clean out the pores.  And then with cold water, that will close the pores so that dirt cannot get back in.  It will clear up the skin and keep the skin clear.  

Answer 14

Masturbation.

Oh and it's not from sugars, that's a myth.

Hormones, stress, oil, etc.

Answer 15

The cause of pimples is unknown. The process by which a pimple develops is highly intricate. While we do know that a pore collapses on itself and blocks sebum (oil) from escaping, we do not fully understand why this process takes place in one sebaceous gland versus another.

Causes of adult acne and teen acne may include hormones, diet, evolutionary biology, vitamin deficiency, stress, and more. The real explanation may be a complex mix of many of these factors.

Answer 16

It could be a genteic defect because most people try all the acne products and none work for them
