I have never met someone who actually likes pimples. In high school the girls with the most acne are both belittled by the 'popular' crowd as well as blanked by all of the cute boys. During adulthood it is even more embarrassing, especially if they occur before an important meeting, presentation, or dinner.

However, there is a solution at hand that does not involve the nasty chemical filled products often advertised in magazines and television. All you need to do is follow these 7 tips and you will be well on your way to having beautifully unblemished skin.

TOP TIP #1 - WASH YOUR FACE

Allowing excess sebum to form under the skin leads to clogged pores, which in turn trap oil, grease, and bacteria!the perfect breeding ground for pimples. It is imperative your face is washed once or twice a day with a natural skin care cleanser that will not enrage your sensitive skin.

TOP TIP #2 - DON'T POP

Although the temptation is there to pop pimples, please resist the urge. Popping pimples effectively embeds bacteria deep into the skin thereby increasing swelling, redness, and scarring.

TOP TIP #3 - DON'T TOUCH

Try and be conscious of keeping your fingers away from your face. Your fingers are the chief external depositors of bacteria, which cause the pores to become inflamed in the first place. Similarly, glasses carry oil which clogs pores and because they have direct contact with your face you should keep them clean at all times.

TOP TIP #4 - LET THEM BREATHE

If you are someone who develops body acne easily try to refrain from wearing tight clothes that decrease the ability of your skin to breath. Also refrain from scarves, headbands, and caps because they collect dirt and oil, thereby increasing the likelihood of causing irritation.

TOP TIP #5 - TAKE IT OFF

It is important to always remove makeup before going to sleep in order to avoid unnecessary oil buildup. Also, only wear makeup that 100% natural or 'noncomedogenic' or 'nonacnegenic' in order to limit unwanted irritation with your skin.

TOP TIP #6 - KEEP IT OFF

Your hair should always remain clean and off your face so as to prevent additional dirt and oil from clogging your pores.

TOP TIP #7 - PROTECT IT

It is imperative you keep your skin away from unnecessary sun exposure. Exposure to UV rays causes the body to produce additional amounts of sebum, which in turn, escalates acne outbreaks.
