Snap, Crackle, Pop?
Q: Will popping pimples make them go away faster?
A: Let’s make this clear…absolutely, positively not! It might seem like popping a stubborn pimple will make it instantly go away, but that’s unfortunately not the case. By popping a pimple, you’re spreading all the dirt, germs and bacteria from your fingertips back into the pimple itself and across the rest of your clear skin. This will only lead to…more pimples! And not to mention the nasty scar that popping a pimple can leave behind. We know it can be tempting, but resist the urge to pop those pimples!

my personal favorite
my favorite face wash to use in the morning and at night is neutrogena grapefruit face wash. I personally had a super oily face but i didn’t start to get acne until I quit using neutrogena.dido
I have acne all over my face :(I do the same
I allways pop my pimbles and they never go away. You may think they do nut they really DO NOT. It stinks i know but it is true. Try washing your face it helps. :)I dont have pimples
I dont have pimples because I wash my dace every day. I will use Dove soap bars and the next morning my face feels great. The times u will want to wash your face is when u get up in the morning and before u go to bed. I wash my face all the time and I never get anything on my face. It is awesome and I think u DG girls should try it. If you have any questions about my response push the reply button and ask me anything. I am online: Friday 4:15- 6:00 Saturday: any time Sunday 1:00-3:55 ~lianegurl01~Scars.
Popping pimples leaves acne scars, too. I’ve never popped one…(:Best wash ever
I only use Loreal go 360 facial cleanser. It comes in 4 different kinds. One for sensitive skin, another is a cream, another is a scrub, and another is just regular face wash. I only use the sensitive skin one because I have sensitive skin. Find the one that is right for you. Bonus:It comes with a little scrubby pad to use!Hehe....
Lol, little scrubby pad! It’s called a scrublet, & I think it’s cute. Haha.Snap Crackle Pop
Yeah there tiny but not as cute as aminals!!!!!!!!!get Aveeno Skin brightening
get Aveeno Skin brightening daily scrub. use it every other day for great results.A awesome facial clenser!
If you have a The Body Shop near the place where you live, try the Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash! It doesn’t get rid of the all the pimples, but it sure does tone down the amount of them and the redness!?
I pop them and them put clear and clear stuff on the area and they clear up the next day! Just don’t pop them on your nose cuz the bacteria can get in your nasal passage and give you a infection!INFECTION?!
I have a huge pimple on my nose. I’m glad you wrote that or else I would’ve popped it. Phew!:-)
ur welcome!I was watching this doctor
I was watching this doctor show the other day and he said never to pop pimples or zits any where! I have a couple scars on my face from just popping pimples! And you should never pop a pimple on your nose because you have blood vessels on your nose and when you pop them they go up your blood stream and go to your brain! It can kill you! P.S If you don’t want zits on your face you don’t have to pop them, just get some face wash! I’ve been using face wash since eight! And did you know that if you press the “like” button twice, it will turn to: you don’t like this comment! Cool, right? I have pressed that button on tons of peoples comment’s!♥☻☺♦♣♠•◘○!

it hurts and also u can simply use medications or use facial creams and washesno dont pop em
No, dont pop em, they’ll just come back! Use either proactive or acnefree!!acne medicine
if you have breakouts often and when you use acne medications all it does is get red and puffy you should ask your parents to go to the dermatologist and she or he will give you a special prescription just foryour skin!awsome stuff
I used proactiv it worked like a charmAcne!!!!!!!!!
I had it Aveeno or Proactiv work like a charm Proactiv worked better it rocks doesent it karrie2hip111????????Proactiv
I hate Proactiv…I tried it once and it did absolutely nothing on my skin. It actually gave me more zits! I like Clean & Clear, Formula 1O.O6, and Neutrogena. [:I have to try thx
I have terinle acne and my dermotalijist told to dry lotion wich did not wrok. So next time i go i will ask anout Clean & Clear. Thxafter i used proactiv a few

sry i ment do not not so not!No Pimples Eva!
Hey, Grrls! I’m totally pimple-free, and I always have been! My secret is this fantastic banana-and-milk mask that I make every night and morning. It’s a homemade recipe that’s SUPER easy. All you need is one mashed banana and a third cup of milk. Mix it together with a whisk and have it on your face for 15 minutes. Rinse with warm water, then cool, to close your pores. You’ll be pimple free!Ooh..
Thanks, that sounds really good actually. It isn’t too time-consuming, either. x)THANKS!
THANKS YOU!RE: No Pimples Eva!
I agree that thats a good idea but most girls dont hav time for that i dont hav timefor pimples...
dab a bit of toothpaste on and sleep with it. wash it off the next day and do that until your break outs are gone. ps: u have to put the toothpaste on the pimples. pps: wash your face everynight ppps: when wearing make-up, take it off and dont sleep with it. pppps: those last 2 were for preventing pimples and break outs.Acne
Acne is a gross thing, but it happens to everyone, even the populars! The best thing to do, is get some acne cream and just leave your pimples alone. DO NOT POP THEM!Tell me about it!
My Granny keeps popping and pinching my pimples and won’t listen to me!Health and beauty
I always brush my teeth but my teeth are yellow !What can I do!?go 2 the dentist. my teeth
go 2 the dentist. my teeth were yellow, but i went 2 the dentist 4 my 6-month check- up, and she cleaned my teeth ,no extra cost. i brush my teeth twice a day,and i have had white teeth since.My idea
My brother had this problem, and here’s a solution that worked for him: use an electric toothbrush. It helps. But maybe you dont have yellow teeth, they’re not just pure white. That’s the case with mine.So Sad!
Although I myself do not have this problem, I know many people who do! The simplest thing to do is trying a whitening toothpaste or whitening treatments (which I use!). As long as you’ve lost all your teeth, these are fine. Otherwise, talk to your dentist for reccommendations.Never Had Them...
All my frieds have had their stage where they have little “ance or pimple attacks,” but I haven’t yet! I have seen all they have had to deal with like using makup to cover it up, and wearing hats to cover their faces… my main point is, y am i not getting those attacks.. it that natural?? Help!Go, Grrl!
Me neither! Not only is it natural, but so fantabulous for your appearance. (Not that appearance is as important as other stuff, but it helps self-esteem.) You go, grrl! We are so lucky!Same here! I wash my face ev
Same here! I wash my face ev mornin and ev nite when i brush my teeth just in case tho!I HATE acne too!!!!
My brother has Proactive and it really helps it is clearing up his face fast! You should try IT! I’m also getting it but I have a small case of it! :)I don't have acne
I don’t have acne, and I am almost positive i won’t get it because neither of my parents had it. I do get pimples sometimes but not that much. I am 10 years old and my friends in my class always compliment me on my skin.I don't have it
