How to Get Rid of Acne : What Not to do when Treating Acne

[vjm3]

So if I have a pimple that's huge, what do I do? I just leave it on my face?

[lcteh64]

Good video! My best friend also had alot of acne but when i met her during the holidays her skin was totally acne free! apparently she applied a herbal acne treatment called: Acne 404 Nuke i don't know the site but just google it.

[ashraf1987001]

Excellent video! My best friend also had alot of acne but when i met her after the holiday period her skin was totally acne free! I asked her how she removed her acne and she said she used a particular drug free acne method called: Acne 404 Nuke i'm not sure the website but just google it.

I have some pretty bad acne and it feels as if no one else does :( Being 13 sucks.

My weird and disturbing problem is that I'M not the one popping them. My dad is. I don't know why, but I can't stop him. He doesn't belive that popping them leaves scars or spreads them. I am using cleansers, moisturizers, and face soaps, plus keeping my face clean. I also wear foundation and other makeup only to hide it and it works fine. But it's not getting rid of all of it. Please help? Thank you. :)

@BibleBlonde Uh... Wait... Did I read that right? Your father actually pops them himself...? That's not right.

[BibleBlonde]

@WaterCow12 Yes, you read it right. It sucks, but I am going to start rebelling against it.

[parkourDrew4745619]

@BibleBlonde Does it hurt wearing makeup over popped spots?

[BibleBlonde]

@parkourDrew4745619 Most of the time it doesn't. Unless it's those raw flesh, leaky zits, no.

[asumen11]

@BibleBlonde Hi there hun. It depends on how your skin is. People with dry skin should use moisteurizers.. while people with very oily skin should avoid moisteurizers and wash their faces when they wake up, before dinner - like around 5 pm and before you go to sleep... That's a basic. Yeah i got acne too. But it's almost gone! I've never felt more happy before! And i forgot another thing. Water. Yes H2O is incredibly important, since it works as "oil to the machines" to us humans. 3 liters!

[BibleBlonde]

@asumen11 Wow! Thanks :) I don't really know if I have oily or dry skin. Its in between. I tried that Elmer's glue facial last night, and my face looks so great. Its smooth. And the acne is almost gone. I use this facial cleanser, exfoliate, and moisturizer by Clinique and it works really well. :D Lots of water. Check.

[valeska973]

another quick tip...a tiny dab of toothpaste ovrnyt over the zit n it subsides considerably the next day...it works :)

[noonoo9933]

@valeska973 Ya but its really harmful for sensitive skin, just sayin :P

[jamberriesful]

Use alcohol rub on your face. Just don't breathe alot of it or get anywhere near your eyes nose and mouth :). Alcohol will clear em up by drying. The skin oil what causes most of acne or pimples. :)

[Sundropfan18]

You should never pop your pimples but we know your going to do it anyway so here's how you do it..

[tazzy801]

You actually shouldnt use scrub over pimples.Its better to use a clay cleansing mask instead and scrub only where you dont have them.Clay really helps.

[BoricuaBoxer7]

Hmmm....listen to random female on not using scrubs, or listen to dermatologist who says to use it...tough choice

[whiskers08spot09]

I always pop my pimple and it get gone.. like u can even notice a scab or anything

[Mistressofwhoosh]

You have no idea what you are talking about. Please people, go to a proper dermatologist and let them advise you!

[TheMatt7000]

What if I can't get "warm hot water"? Can I use cold hot water?

[selenagomezrulesx]

I thought using a scrub was good cause you get rid of the dead skin and build up of dirt?!

[iDrawingz]

@selenagomezrulesx Scrubbing can also irritate it and make it worst.

[xoxbronwynxox]

@ILoveKhalifaTunechi

[mukkohaha]

[22JaneDoe]

[churroconsugar]

@chesse192837465 LOL YOU FUNNY!

[xwizardgodx0]

[GlobalGamingSociety]

[adsahar]

@GlobalGamingSociety you got no clue how lucky you are.

[GlobalGamingSociety]

@adsahar Yeah, I know :) however, i have really dry skin and that is a problem to.

[templarshield]

[pivotmanify]

[shadowgirl8897]

[TheGameruler123]

[RaisonnHead]

epiduo rapes your acne... you should check it out

[taevans4]

Warm Hot water. Uhhh which one is it?

[XxCuriousBananaxX]

I pop my pimples just fine. then again, I only get them once in a blue compared to this video I virtually have none O.O

[TheMonsterAndy]

0:47 MOM? O-O

[Caleb5761]

You dont know what you are talking about

[tcorourke2007]

Never pop or pick at your pimples. Now: here's how to pop your pimple...

[snax52]

@tcorourke2007 ikr?

[osemka88]

ahahahahahaha

[fiercelili91]

im pretty sure theres no such thing as 'spreading acne around' its not contagious it pores filled with dead skin cells and/or dirt that sometimes get infected... using an 'apricot' scrub on your face isnt recommended because its too harsh on skin... you should exfoliate 2 - 3 times per week but no more... these are things i have learned from professionals about skin care. there are a lot of better skin tips out there than this

[EllieMcgough]

This video is crap ... just saying!

[TheNaculangga]

hahaha!

[LabelMeCreative]

this didnt help at all...

[wonderpaint]

And I thought howcast was bad......

[Annalieselief]

you know, i was listening to nirvana... then i was watching how to do special effect make-up, then what mascara is the best... HOW SIS I END UP HERE?!?! i dont even have acne...

[AlexWerkmeister712]

Why am I watching this?

I don't even have acne.

[danielazim3]

@AlexWerkmeister712 Why did you click on the video.

[AlexWerkmeister712]

@danielazim3

That's what I'm wondering.

Then again, why do people click on those videos of people popping monstrously-sized zits?

Sheer curiosity, I suppose.

Followed by regret.

[live2ski11]

Apercot

[MJayP93]

i squeeze my spots all the time, no scars. apart from some.. but they go away after a few months. Scars wont stay there for ever, unless you have holes in your face which i dont have

[zotaaxHD]

@MJayP93 sqeeuze them to long and u will get scars.

[MrAxelArm]

omg press 3 over and over again

[freeburritofriday]

240p we meet again........

[Mdonkin961]

warm hot water... ummmmmmm 

[goddy5890]

"You want to get a warm washcloth and soak it with warm water." As oppose to a soaking a warm washcloth with cold water?

[CanBlindBirdsFly]

apricot scrubs or anything with beads that do not dissolve can scratch your skin and cause damage. do not scrub with abrasive seeds. i used honey and sugar as a face scrub once every morning. do not use crappy perfumed lotions either. i also like to use neosporn sometimes at night too.

[Higgy9795]

@CanBlindBirdsFly What the abrasion does is it irritates your skin, which lifts off dead skin and brings the acne closer to the surface, then you use a cream or something similar to that with acne medication to sooth the skin and kill the bacteria. Your way also works.

[Immaculate210]

you don't pop your pimples. Thats what leads to having red spots on your face if your white, and black spots on your face if you're black

[Awesomeelite555]

I've always popped mine then put acne medication on it and the next day it was gone

[musicmatters198]

@zarcnest

The warmer it is the better

[Aprilrockpop]

Just put toothpaste on the pimple wait for at least 2 minutes then wash your face with face cleanser

[zarcnest]

is it suppose to be warm or hot.. im kinda stuck on step one....

[BumKpopluv76]

I love cartoon demo... =="

[cheekygal571]

This went against everything i have learnt on youtube about acne o.o

[jackieeluciaa]

I've been popping them & I use a scrub after & then my acne med.

that's not good to do ?! :O I've always heard it was

[jiller777]

@jackieeluciaa wash ur skin 1st, then warm the area like she said, POP with toliet paper on ur fingers or gloves, then get a cotton ball with some toner with a strong salidic acid and hold on the spot for about 30seconds, it will sting and DRY UP, then use a CLEAN cotton ball and tone the rest of ur face, wait to FULLY dry, Then Spot treat ALL OVER, then waite about 15mins, then Moisturize. dont do anytihng til the blemish has stopped Oozing/Bleeding

DO NOT USE A SCRUB (maybe once a week)

[littleliarsrox]

is this true cuz i do not think so at all!!!

[MegaOreo7]

This a bunch of shit

[purplesduck]

Lolz I love the animation

[Kizzaayyx]

warm hot water? LOL.

oh yeah, wait, before i get that i'll just buy some diet water. (get itttt?!)

wtf is this video! :/

[missyourandy1995]

ok..so u told us what not to do...so now can you tell us what to do!?

[naveslaikss]

got to make a teeth comment LOL

[110teamedward]

i thought u were supposed to exfoliate the skin so other pores wont get clogged with dead skin cells....

[yuyub92]

Worst vid ever

[animefan06ify]

i try not to touch it, but it's too hard not to

[Mookho1]

@animefan06ify IKR

[craigelsnewdeal]

@animefan06ify thats what she said :D

[CyberShuff97]

@animefan06ify Thats what she said.



[Thelm64]

More like Retard Village.

[bubbaXpro]

is it true that scrubs just spread the acne around?

[PandafulPandas]

HAHA wow. that was the dumbest video ever. the animation were really life like;) and all she did is tell you what not to do. which didn't leave you with a whole lot of options, bucktooth.

[SCUBONZIES]

when in the shower rub off the slime you will feel it rub it AWAY

[LaurenAndAmanda4]

this is HORRIFYING.

[imvuproduct]

I pop it until I see blood, just so I know it's all out(=

[aceprettyme]

@prettygirlgotswagger LOOL sammy yr scuch a jker xD just cuz u have no apricot!! lol just cuz u pop your duttie spots! skeen lol xxxx

[SasukeIsPwnage]

Whenever I get a zit, I just wait two or so days (no one cares, all teenagers get zits) then I squeeze from a point away from it on two sides and just narrow it down until the white comes out. I just keep doing that a few times until it starts getting out blood (wiping off the area after each squeeze) and then it's gone. This person is stupid for saying to never pop them...but hey, it's ExpertVillage, what do you expect?

[xinni247]

@SasukeIsPwnage that's what i do too but to be honest, its really bad to squeeze pimples because you might damage your skin collagen thing.

[pizapizo]

HELLLOOOO!?IF YOU DONT POP IT...THEN WHAT WILL?just do the was rountine..pop it...and wash it..and use scrub..and done..

[storycorey]

Never new you could get warm hot water..

[harmonizethelord9]

Worst advice

[alexafaria1]

smart ass

[KrazyGurl415]

uhm.. apricot scrub is good for the skin. its suppose to be used on your face to clean it, duh! you use a cleanser you clean your pores and you use an apricot scrub 3-4 times a week to exfoliate the skin and get all the dead skin off.

[LiLiANEEEx3]

...my mom always wants to do THAT to my face.. :S its like shes obsessed in doing that, since she does it to her face all the time. is it true that whenever we go wash/treat our face at the esthetic place, they always start by popping the pimples? thats what she tells me everytime i dont want her to touch my face and ive never went there. 0:47 if ever i get that, what should i do to make it go away?

[Nenukew]

i don't know whether to trust this person or not but the animations where so violent, you just cant help agreeing

[gummibears211]

@Nenukew yea i thought it meant after we pop it our face expoldes lol o_0

[lerocleroc]

I'm very confused now

[GabiKabataan]

Um....so what u do after u pop it? Just leave it???? what I do is I use a cleansing bar called panoxyl nd it really works (close name) it works for back acne chest acne and acne on da face! I used it when I was 11 nd a year later i have no zits on mi face! Works really good 4 my skin type! Lol =] nd I saw a pimple monster O.O

[senzafine578]

@GabiKabataan oh, really? you're lucky. i bought that and it worked for a little while. doesn't work anymore :(

[kimjakab]

Uh. Acne is a build up of bacteria, oil, n shit in the skin. So, isn't it essential to exfoliate occasionally? Most confusing video ever. And how is telling someone to not pop the pimple...but "pop it if you want to"...helpful at all?

[jnp537]

scab?...ive never had one scab?

[Prettyylicious]

first wash ur face at night and then pop it after doing that apply toothpaste works everytime!

[krazydude34]

popping can be fine just wash it with acne skin care products

[aznman240]

so after we pop it we just leave it alone?

[justOkable]

@aznman240 not alone...with others from the face ))

[snax52]

@aznman240 i put clean, cold water on a makeup pad until it's less sore :)
