Pimple is nothing but a zit that forms on top of the skin, when excess oil gets trapped in skin pores. Pimples can appear on any place on the human body, but they appear mostly on the face. For some people, particularly teenagers, pimples are a major problem. A pimple outbreak can go so bad that it spoils the skin leaving hard-to-treat scars and marks on face. Pimples aren't that difficult to manage or cure though. Here are fifteen best ways to get rid of pimples.
1.Exfoliate
Removing dead skin cells gets to be harder work as you get older. So you may need to bring in extra help, like a sponge or something that gets the job done without doing any damage. And it's also a good idea to keep the surface nice and smooth with something called alpha-hydroxy acids. You'll be smiling like the lady in the picture.
2.Microdermabrasion
This is really just a big, fancy word that means going to a doctor and letting them wipe away your acne with a wand-like device. It is not painful. Nor does it leave permanent scars. Experts generally only recommend this in extreme cases, but if you happen to have an extreme case of pimples, why not try it?
3.Avoid Stress
Excessive stress is not good for you. Not only can it make you do weird things like bite a chunk out of your computer like the lady in the picture, but it can also release stress hormones that produce oil. And yes, oil is bad. And so are pimples, which are caused by large amounts of oil.
4.Sunscreen
Sunscreen is not typically thought of as a barrier against pimples, but it certainly can be. Anything that protects your skin against the sun as well as dangerous toxins is a useful tool when dealing with pimples. Tip: even if you are as handsome as the guy in this picture, you'll want to put sunscreen everywhere on your face -- not just your nose.
5.Try antibiotics
If over-the-counter drugs like benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid don't deliver the desired results, you may want to see a doctor and ask for antibiotics. This is usually considered a fairly extreme measure, but it may be that your pimples are a result of something that requires serious help.
6.Watch Your Makeup
When you're playing detective and trying to discover the culprit of your acne breakouts, don't forget to include your makeup in the list of suspects. Sticking with oil-free makeup is usually a good idea and make sure you wash away your makeup at the end of the night.
7.Get some salicylic acid too!
While you're at the drug store, you may also want to pick up another difficult-to-pronounce soldier in your war on pimples. This one is called salicylic acid. Its job is to clear away the outer layer of your skin which is always a good idea -- unless you like going to school or work with a face full of pimples.

8.Get some benzoyl peroxide
Don't hesitate! Don't delay! Don't even worry if you're pronouncing it right. Just get to the drug store immediately and put some benzoyl peroxide on your pimple-ridden face.
Why? Because it does battle against the bacteria that block your pores. And that's good, right? Oh, shut up and get to the drug store.
9.Work up a sweat
Those hours you'd like to spend at the gym but can't seem to do because... well, what's the excuse this time? Stop making excuses and you'll see immediate improvement in your skin. Sweating helps clear your skin's pores and it gets rid of dead skin cells that serve as a hospitable home for pimples.

10.Wash your face twice daily
Washing your face may sound like pretty obvious advice for getting rid of pimples. But the truth is you need to do it twice daily -- and be as thorough as possible to eliminate the bacteria that cause pimples. If you follow this simple advice, I promise you'll look as lovely as the woman in this picture. Well... maybe.
11.Get plenty of vitamin C
Food with plenty of vitamin C can help your skin a great deal. Not only can it reduce the number of pimples that invade your face, but it's great for other problems like wrinkles, sagging and discoloration. If you need help finding vitamin C, try a cup of raw broccoli!
What do you mean, yuck? You want to look good, don't you?
12.Avoid fatty foods
The fries in the picture, not to mention other foods rich in fat, such as... well, pretty much everything that tastes good, may be hard to resist, but they can do a great deal of damage to your skin. What kinds of foods should eat instead? Try fish, white meat poultry and tofu.
13.Drink water
While bathing or showering in really warm water can harm your skin, drinking cool or cold water can help clear the toxins that cause inflammation and blemishes. Experts recommend at least eight glasses a day -- or twenty-eight if you happen to have a really big date that night.
14.Avoid hot water
In this case, staying out of hot water doesn't mean avoiding getting into trouble. It means avoid heated water. It may feel great on your body, but it also strips your skin of essential oils that protect your skin from things that nobody likes -- such as big, gross pimples.
15.Avoid Touching Your Face
Your hands, when in contact with your face, can bring a lot of bacteria to your face and cause a great deal of damage. I'd give you more details, but it gets kind of gross. So let's just say "keep your hands away from your face, buddy!" And as for the picture, I suppose having somebody else's hands on your face isn't so great either.
