Nip pimples in the bud

Pimples are forming inside the skin two weeks before you see them on the surface. Even when they disappear , you're not done. When using the 2.5 percent benzoyl peroxide treatment, we should stress allover coverage rather than spot treatment. When you look gorgeous, don't quit, or your acne will be back the next month.

Start mild

Start your acne prevention program by washing your face once a day with a mild, 2.5 percent form of benzoyl peroxide wash. This over-the-counter medication kills the bacteria that cause acne, but you need to apply it properly. The trick is to get the medicine all over your face and on any other areas where you have acne, like your arms, chest and upper backs. If you use it only on the bumps, you won't get results. Even if you don't get results right away, stay with this mild treatment. It takes a couple of months for this topical medicine to work. You need to be patient.
