Tips to keep a pimple from becoming a full-blown breakout

Posted on May 12, 2021August 4, 2021

Pimples are those uninvited guests that can show up any time, irrespective of your skin type and season. You have to be extremely careful when dealing with a pimple as one wrong move could end up irritating the pimple, which in turn, can result in a full-blown breakout. The most annoying thing about pimples is they usually arrive right before important events and occasions such as meetings, weddings, etc. We don’t know how, but they manage to surface on our face right before such events, which can be extremely disappointing.

Sometimes even after making the best efforts, a pimple surface on the face, and while it’s not completely possible to avoid pimples, you surely can do certain things to keep everything under control and prevent a pimple from becoming a full-blown breakout. A pimple develops in different stages, initially, it appears in the form of a tiny bump or redness on the face, and if it’s irritated or picked, it turns into a massive pimple, which can also lead to a full-blown breakout. In order to prevent this thing from happening, you should practice the following habits.

 

Cleanse your face properly

While stress is largely responsible for the occurrence of pimples, your hygiene habits can also aggravate the problem. Oil in combination with dirt and impurities settled deep within the pores leads to clogged pores, which in turn, results in nasty pimples. One of the best ways to avoid this issue is by cleansing your face properly. And we would suggest opting for the double cleansing method, which involves two steps. The first step is to remove makeup, dirt, and oil from your face using micellar water, and the second step is to wash your face using a suitable face wash to get rid of deep-set dirt and oil from the pores.

 

Rub ice on your face

If you notice a red bump on your face and hurts on touching, then one of the best ways to prevent that bump from turning into a full-blown pimple is by rubbing ice on the face. Take a piece of cloth, wrap it around ice cubes, and then place it over the bump. This cold compressing method helps to constrict the blood vessels around the pimple and reduces pain, inflammation as well as redness associated with the pimple.

 

Don’t use harsh scrubs

People dealing with acne breakouts should avoid using scrubs until the situation is under control. Scrubs can irritate the pimples further, which will only make things worse for you. However, if you see only one active pimple on your face, then you can consider exfoliating your skin. One thing you need to keep in mind is that you shouldn’t use harsh scrubs on your face, always use a gentle scrub that helps to remove dirt and oil from your skin.

 

Avoid touching your face

This one’s no-brainer, touching your face constantly is one of the worst things to do, especially if you are dealing with pimples. When you touch your face or pimples, you end up transferring dirt and oil from your fingers to your skin, and this could irritate the pimples further, leading to a breakout or flare-up. Hence, you should avoid touching your face unnecessarily, and if you want to touch your face, then make sure that your hands are clean.

 

Keep your face moisturized


Another important thing to keep in mind is you should always keep your face moisturized, no matter your skin type. Just because you have oily skin, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t moisturize your face. You should look for a moisturizer that is specifically formulated for oily skin. Skipping moisturizer will cause your skin to overproduce sebum, which in turn, will result in pimples. Therefore, make it a point to moisturize your face daily.
