There are steps you can take to ensure when you pop your pimple, its safe, clean and painless
- Wash your tweezers/needle with anti-bacterial soap...I recommend even dipping it in alcohol.
- Wash your face with a facewash that has tea tree oil in it.
- Use your tweezers to pick the "peak" of the pimple..make sure NOT to grab the whole pimple or a chunk..
- Use your fingers to squeeze the pimple..this step is so important, a lot of people think its disgusting and for go it. This will help drain the fluids and maybe a dot of blood.
- Wipe your pimple with tea tree oil or an all natural astringent like Witch Hazel. I tend to clean my pimple with witch hazel every few hours, but this step is entirely up to you
- Do these steps at night, so your skin has time to relax and heal.
- Wash your face in the morning and apply witch hazel to the area
- make sure you only do this to one or two pimples, that are far apart. you can't pop your whole cheeks.
- Avoid makeup on the pimple for atleast 3-5 hours.
- you might have to redo the steps, just wait 6-7 hours before "repopping"
- This works just as well on In grown hair as well
What if you don't want to pop it, and you're looking for a much more gentler approach?
Rub a regular bar of anti-bacterial soap on your pimple..make sure the area is dry. Keep rubbing the soap without washing away as much as you can. The soap is extremely drying, which in turn will dry out your pimple!
