I’ve suffered from acne multiple times, so I’d thought I would share.

To Know’s:

1) NEVER put apple cider vinegar on your pimples. It will make them red, will make them bleed, and will cause them to get really swelled up and look gross.

2) Those dark spots after you get a pimple go away in two weeks. Believe me.

3) It’s alright to pop pimples; only if it has a white head. Try not to touch it other wise.

4) Refrain from touching your face.

Onto tricks!

1) Putting an ice cube over a pimple will shrink that little fricker up in no time. And the redness will go down! Put some green tea in those ice cubes as well.

2) Hot water opens your pores, cold water closes them. When putting creams and moisturizers on your skin, use hot water. Before you go out or go to bed, splash your face with cold water.

3) Putting a dab of Listerine on pimples dries them out and shrinks them up.

4) Moisturize your face when it’s wet.

And the tips.

1) Change your pillow cases. I have two and change it every four days. Or you can simply wash them once a week.

2) Water is your friend! Drink a lot of it. I recommend 6-8 cups. Green tea is also your friend. Drink that too. Any tea, really, is good for you and the skin and the soul.

3) Don’t focus on it. Stressing causes more breakouts, and then you stress again and get more pimples, and so on so fourth.

4) Don’t let them ruin your confidence! They go away. It takes 3-4 days for a pimple to go away. Give it time and have patience. People don’t notice it as much as you do.

Also! Don’t over wash your face. Stick to a Dove soap bar, some spot treatment, and a moisturizer.

So run along my little pretty skin mermaids. Remember these and your on your way to clean skin.
