How to get rid of pimples: tips and recipes to make your skin smooth

If you suffer or have suffered from pimples, you know how much they can cause pain, discomfort and low self-esteem. As the dermatologist at Dermasense Clinic, Andréia Sampaio, explains, “the increased production of sebum from the sebaceous glands leaves the skin pores clogged and increases the proliferation of bacteria, resulting in the comedones that we commonly call blackheads. When inflammation occurs, we call it a pimple.” But how do you get rid of pimples?

Check out below daily habits that help fight pimples, as well as home treatments that will help you have healthy skin free from any unwanted problems.

4 tips to get rid of pimples

According to Sampaio, with just a few changes in the routine it is possible to soften or even eliminate the pimples for good. See more details:

1. Beware of the sun: although ultraviolet rays have an antibacterial effect on the skin, it is important not to overdo it so as not to stimulate oiliness.
2. Hygiene: Wash your face with soap and water at least twice a day. Using soaps that fight oil can be interesting to eliminate pimples, but care must be taken not to overuse them, as removing too much oil can have a rebound effect that worsens pimples. The same goes for using exfoliators.
3. Remove Makeup Before Bed: If you’re in the habit of wearing makeup, it’s important to remove it completely before bed to avoid clogging your pores.
4. Balanced food: it is not forbidden to eat chocolate, but it is worth avoiding exaggeration not only of this food but of any other that is rich in fats.

Biomedical Luciana Godinho explains that pimples arise from a combination of several factors, such as excessive proliferation of keratinocytes (skin cells that favor the formation of comedones), colonization of bacteria, immune and inflammatory response, medications and stress. “The tip is to maintain skin care”, she reinforces.
