How To get Rid Of Blemishes (Pimples)

CLEAN!
Wash your face with a gentle, oil- and fragrance-free cleanser;
preferably a nondetergent one labeled pH balanced.
If you have oily skin all over your face, use a cleanser that
contains benzoil peroxide or salicylic acid.
Don't scrub - irritated skin swells around the pores, which can
cause breakouts.
Skip toner unless your face is very oily, otherwise it might dry out
the skin.

TREAT!
Apply a topical acne treatment containing benzoyl peroxide, glycolic
acid, or salicylic acid over your entire face, not just where
blemishes have already erupted.
At night, use a drying spot-treatment product and dab oil-free
moisturizer on dry areas.
In the morning, apply an oil-free sunscreen gel over the entire face.

CONCEAL!
Use a small makeup brush to dab concealer or cream foundation (in the exact same shade as your skin) directly onto the blemish. Use a fingertip to wipe away excess concealer around the blemish and, if necessary, apply another coat of concealer.
If the makeup becomes cakey, carefully wipe it off and start over. gently brush powder (in the exact same shade as your skin) on top of the concealer.

Poor personal hygiene too precipitates this problem. This is due to the accumulation of dirt and grease, which blocks skin pores and ultimately leading to pimples.

Dandruff is another common cause of pimples, especially the dry type of dandruff which falls on the face and back. Treatment of dandruff by the use radiations like ozone radiations and polarised rays on the scalp may damage the hair follicles and lead to severe hair loss. Dandruff is nothing but dead skin cells which can be treated only by taking oral medications.

An improper diet could aggravate the condition. Eating too many sweets, chocolates oand fried foods give rise to pimples. An erratic lifestyle is another causative factor.

Erratic meal schedules and inadequate sleep, a sedentary lifestyle and lack of exercise could lead to the problem. Patients with pimples are often embarassed by their appearance and this in turn could lead to anxiety and depression.
Patients often lack self-confidence and may have distortion of their body image with associated eating disorders.
