There always comes a time in your life when you start to grow up dramatically.
All of sudden your friends and relatives discover you all grown up: height increase, a more shapely body, etc.
Your emotions and way of thinking have matured at the same time.
Adolescence is a crucial stage in your life but more importantly, the flaws begin to develop also.
You become extremely conscious of your outward appearance and when that little, red thing starts to pop out of your face, you start to panic.
Oddly, it springs out every time you are about to attend some occasion, parties maybe, or even a date with your crush.
In teenagers, this no longer becomes a taboo.
Of course, everyone gets pimples in their teenage years.
However, now that you are an adult, you wonder, why do I still have zits on my face? With acne, the oils get stuck (and later bacteria develop) in your pores.
If it stays inside your skin, it is a whitehead.
If it goes out and gets oxidized, it's a blackhead.
The walls of your follicle rupture resulting to redness, infection, papules, and acne scarring.
That is one reason why you should resist the urge to prick or pop your pimple.
People say that poor hygiene and improper diet result to acne problems.
That is just a myth.
The truth is, your acne is caused by several factors: your hormones and infection caused by follicle rupture.
There is also no stable evidence linking sex with acne.
Chocolates and peanuts have no relation with acne either.
You have nothing to fret about your facial dilemma.
Today, there are many over the counter medications available for you and all you have to do is to choose one that is best for you.
Better yet, visit your dermatologist for a personalized cure and your doctor will recommend you with a prescription.
The best way for your pimples to go away is to gently wash your face twice a day.
You do not have to scrub your face or use harsh towels.
The gentle way is the effective way.
If you did surgery on your acne (a.
k.
a.
squeezing pimples) believing they will all go away, think again.
Yes, they will vanish but at the same leaving a souvenir on your face: acne scarring.
Not only that, squeezing your pimples also spread infection on your face.
But if your scars become inevitable, you may consult professional help.
They will recommend proper scar treatments (and prepare money for that too!) There is no need for you to worry.
Your acne will be just another problem you have to face.
What is beauty after all? I remember someone said it is merely skin deep.
