One of the biggest things teens have to deal with in their social life is zit removal. Getting zits can be socially devastating to some and quite annoying to the rest. Even some adults continue to have to deal with acne into their late 20"s and sometimes beyond that. So what are some of the means of removing those zits forever?

First off, I would suggest thinking ahead before adolescence and start a facial care program to keep your skin from developing zits in the first place. Think about washing your face at least a couple times a day and drinking plenty of water to flush out toxins. But if the pimples show up all is not lost, there are some ways to eradicate or minimize them.

Like was said above, wash your face twice a day. This will reduce the amount of oil on your skin and help clean out the pores. The pores are where the zits start because they have become clogged with dead skin cells. When zits appear do not just pop them, this may lead to infection or scarring at the worst. What you can do if you must pop them is wait till it has reach a head as some say, or it has become a white head. Very gently squeeze it just till it pops then squeeze no more. If you over do it you may set it up for further infection which will lead to a worse off zit.

Take advantage of the over the counter medications that can help dry out the zits and help the healing process. There are also some home remedies that many try and some claim them to work. Putting a dab of toothpaste on the zit is said to dry it out and help make it easier to get rid of. Items from lemon to zinc are said to help. A little research can show you how to use these. Whatever you use, be gentle to your face and keep it clean and the zits will be more likely to stay away.
