So many people tell me it's bad to squeeze a pimple. Why? 

Feb 8, 2013

Laydin S.

It's now that it is bad it's that when you "squeeze" it you are doing it wrong. You dont "sqeeze" down, you pull up while squeezing ! Why ? Because youre bringing all the puss up. And the pimple if not fully out until a clear liquid comes out. I hope i helped.

Try getting a facial, it will help lots. But remember to follow up with cleanser toner and moisturizer ! I get a facial every week because I break out a lot. And it helps me a lot !!!!

Where do you live ? So I better know

If you want, you can do it at home ! Just go to your local Walgreens or CVS and buy yourself a nice cleanser , toner, and moisturizer and make sure it says either for all skin types or make sure to know your skin type. Use three times a day. Also, only exfoliate once a week and use a facial mask once a week.

What do you think of the product Vivo Per Lei? I just started using it for my severe acne, and I don't see progress but of course I have only been using it for four days.

@cheyenne here's what squeezing a pimple does. your skin has layers (not going into detail) and when you squeeze yes the ick comes out but it also goes down into the layers and in return creates more pimples. if you do squeeze one use toilet paper wrapped around your fingers or q-tips. cause most people use just their fingers that aren't clean and spread more bacteria around.

I almost never have pimples or blackheads on places other than my nose, there are hundreds of tiny blackheads, my whole nose is literally covered. I've tried a lot to get them away but Nothing will work. I've even tried one of those special blackhead remover tools (the one with a little circle opening) but it does nothing, I only get a mark on my face because I'm pushing the ring on.

anyone who can help :(?

@Isabelle use 1tbsp of baking soda and 1/4 milk, mix together and rub into your nose with a makeup sponge and rinse. repeat if needed :)

Hi Sarah! I have blackheads on my chin and the corners of my mouth. I've tried all sorts of blackhead removal scrubs but nothing seems to work in those areas. Is there any other way to take care of this problem? my skin is also ultra sensitive along the corner of my mouth so I'm very careful using certain ingredients. :)

@latisha liked I mentioned above try the baking soda & milk. also try equal parts honey and brown sugar for an exfoliant. brown sugar is a lot softer and good for sensitive skin. and you can always do a lemon and honey mix. (I'm into home remedies if you can't tell). my best tips I can give you though is cleanse twice daily, toner, and moisturizer, keep a healthy diet and drink lots of water. THE MAIN PROBLEM we as humans want results fast, so what do we do? we go crazy trying to do everything in one step and wanting results right then and there. Unfortunately that's all wrong and completely bad for your face and body. be patient and do the steps and you'll start to see results :)

@Sarah Thank you so much. I'm especially thankful that you're into home remedies, they treat me better than bottled stuff anyway. :) I will try them and yes I WILL exercise patience lol :D.

@adina you want a light weight oil free moisturizer, and look for the same if you're wearing foundation will help tons.
