Then wash it off with cold water. There is no way to permanently get rid of them but you can make them less noticeable. If you have face toner, you can use that too. It will help, but its not permanent. Good Luck :)|||Vitamin K cream should work fairly well!...But it takes time. In the mean time get a sunless tanner, that will hide most of it.|||Try baby oil massage. It will definately help you out partially.

2. Wash your face twice a day in warm salty water. This should leave your face oil free without aggravating the acne.





3. Apply a paste of fresh methi (fenugreek) leaves over the face every night for 10-15 minutes and washed with warm water. This will prevent acne, pimples, blackheads, and wrinkles.





4. Place strawberry leaves on the acne, the alkalinity helps to reduce the swelling.





5. Extract juice of one lemon and mix with equal quantity of rose water. Apply this mixture on the face and let it stay for about half an hour. Wash the face with fresh water. About 15 days application helps cure acne, pimples and reduces blemishes and scars.





6. Another method is to massage the face with the skin of lemon before washing with lukewarm water.

Use it everyday during your shower. Scrub vigorously, and it should go away after a while..

Does wearing a little bit of foundation on your cheeks give you pimples or blocked pores?

i only wear a really little bit





and no where else, only on cheeks





and i eat healthily and follow good skin habits|||All foundations blocks your pores.But if you wash your face with hot water then rinse with cold water you should be OK.cold water helps to close the pores so dirt can not go into your pores.I do the everyday and night and I do not brake out.You do not need to get all types of skin cream all the time.|||Depends on the foundation - but usually it wont give you very many pimples. If you%26#039;re going to be wearing foundation regularly, then you should use a facial cleanser every evening (I reccomend St Ives cleansers) to prevent blocked pores. Wearing foundation on only your cheeks can often stand out in some lighting, so you should put a thin layer of it on nearly all of your face. If you just want color on your cheeks, then you should go for a powder.


Hope I helped! :)|||Nope, you don%26#039;t have to worry about foundation causing pimples, so long as you def wash your face before you go to bed at night. Washing again in the morning before you apply is good too. Try a gentle cleanser like cetaphil, my dermatologist told me to use it.|||it depends if it has oil in it. usually it wont give you pimples. if you think that it does, you can buy oil pads or proactive. or you can buy a different foundation!|||I think it does.

Yeah, Right.|||it depends on the make up certain kinds of make up can clog your pores and cause pimples. one good foundation is bare minerals it actually makes your skin healthier instead of blocking your pores|||depending on the foundation, it could block your pores, which causes pimples. You should get a non-comedogenic foundation- it won%26#039;t clog your pores!|||No it should never do that to your skin...as long as it is hypo-allergenic non comediogenic and oil free!|||nopee zits arent caused by makeup

adult acne, which I can%26#039;t shake...any tips?|||i%26#039;ve had good results from Clinique%26#039;s acne wash line. exfoliating is super important too.





also my sister had awful acne, until she became a vegetarian, stopped eating red meat and dairy. it cleared up in three months. even just cutting back could help. checking with a dietitian could be beneficial as it could be more your diet than anything.
