How to Pop a Pimple?

Are you facing the problem of pimples? Do you wake up in the morning and have a fear of looking at the mirror? Are you afraid of the big haunting pimples? I know a pimple on the face is enough to ruin the whole day. Sometimes these pimples are whole white at the surface and are begging to be popped. Do you think it is a good idea to pop these pimples right away? Or the old saying is right that popping leaves a scar.

The fact however is that popping helps to heal the pimple at a faster rate but there is always a danger of spreading the infection. To avoid spreading the infection what a person can do if he don’t want to spoil his whole day.

The good idea here is to have the facial. Let’s first go through the process of professional acne facial.

Initially the face is thoroughly cleansed with some skin care product. First, face is cleansed thoroughly with skincare products meant for acne. Then a scrub mask is applied on face. Steam is then applied with the help of a steamer for around 15 minutes.

The therapist then softly massages the facial skin to remove any debris from skin surface. After this the scrub is removed with the help of a wet sponge.

This part of facial can also be carried out at home. Wash your face with the mild cleanser; apply the scrub mask on it. Position your face over a bowl of boiled water, while keeping it around 10- 12 inches above from the surface of water. The steam will help to open the pores. Rinse off the scrub mask with the help of lukewarm water.

Finally comes the turn of extraction and popping of pimples.

A pimple extractor is an instrument that has a ring at one end for extracting blackheads and a needle at the other end for pricking the pimples. The ring is gently pressed against the skin to extract the blackheads which are loosened because of steam. Only those pimples must be pierced that are ripe that means white all over the surface. The sharp side of the pimple extractor can be sterilized over fire.

Kindly note only pierce those pimples that ready for being popped and pierce them from the side. Then squeeze the pus with the help of clean index finger using a gentle downward and inward motion. Press the pus until you see a drop of blood.

Apply some good antiseptic on the wound for preventing the infection. Finally apply a mud mask. After rinsing the mask apply the antiseptic ointment again to prevent infection.

Remember prevention is better than cure so it is better to follow a skin care program that stops the acne breakout.
