Does sleeping late causes pimples?

Not directly. Acne is caused by bacteria proliferating in clogged pores. However, stress and lack of sleep tend to increase sebum or oil production which creates the ideal environment for bacteria to grow.

Can Windex clear up acne?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes and no.

It will make you stop worrying about your acne because you will be too bothered by the irritant effect of the ammonia and the isopropanol to notice your pimples.

But once you come out of hospital having been treated for Windexing your face, you will see no improvement in your acne, and will have to explain to your friends why you thought it was a good idea to use proprietary household cleaner on your face.

For the record, it is also a bad idea to use Cif, bleach, or borax.

Does cocoa give you give you pimples?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Chocolate is not good for pimples. But it's not bad for them either. Eating chocolate is OK in small amounts. But because of it's high sugar and fat content it could contribute obisity and tooth decay. Treat your pimples with medicine, not diet. Like Benzoyl Peroxide based over the counter medicine for mild cases or prescription medicine like Differin or Minocin, etc.. For serious cases see a dermatologist, as he can prescribe 'Acutane' if the other prescriptions don't work first.

What does a cluster of red pimples on your chest that wont pop or go away mean?

User Avatar

Asked by Ransidpunx

It may be a reaction to something, perhaps an irritant in your shirts or a body spray you use, a natural development as you go through puberty, or it may be you aren't cleaning your body as often as you should. In any case, a pharmacist (or doctor if you realy want to go that far) can recommend any number of creams, ointments and medicines to help clear them away.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Hey! I know this sounds weird but I have been using green tea to help my acne. I don't like the taste of tea so instead I take a green tea vitemin (from the drug store, although I hear that drinking a lot ofactual green tea works better.). I also use green tea bags, dipped in warm water and rubbed on your face twice a day. I also find it helps to eat a healthy diet high in antioxidants. Good luck!

Why when a pimple is pressed it leaves a white dot?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Pimples turn white for certain reasons. Usually, when using products it means its working.

In a certain cause they turn white when you have to pop them. First, the oil has stop building up and turned into a secular circle which is common known as a bubble. Next, you need to pop the bubble so it won't get bigger. Last, you pop it and the oil spreads again.

People can get a kind of skin cancer from this. Recently, this only happens with kids. Kids do need to spread with witch hazel so the surface will clear up.

Warning: For certain risks you should not put products on the section because it can build up the bubble.

What is often responsible for clogging pores and causing pimples?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Acne is an inherited disorder of the pores - pores that want to sludge up with dead skin cells much like a clogged drain in your sink. Normal pores shed about one layer of dead skin cells per day inside the pore. The acne-prone pore sheds up to five layers of dead skin cells per day and the body just can't keep up. This forms blackheads or congestion under the skin; and if bacteria are present (which just loves to feed on the dead skin cells and oil) you will get inflamed pimples or pustules.

First of all if you want to get rid of a zit don't use some freaky recipe online that tells you ingredients to make a perfect remedy. I am a girl guitar player and those kind of zits are the worst when I have to play at a concert I usually just take a bunch of rubbing alcohol and with a cotton ball hold a lot of the alcohol on the ball down on your check. do this for about 5-10 minutes then put some white pimple cream over it also an oatmeal bath for your face will clean your poors, MOST IMPORTANTLY TAKE A LOT OF SHOWERS!

Toothpaste, Wear it all night on just ur pimple and it will go down. If u put it all over ur face it'll be trouble some. Dries it out, takes away redness, and more than half way take it down specially If they r undergrown. I've also found that skinID works as long as you don't pop them. Hope this helps! :)

Can toothpaste get rid of pimples?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Toothpaste on PimplesIt depends. Some toothpastes have more baking soda in it, which will dry out your pimple(s). On the other hand, the toothpastes may break you out, so I wouldn't recommend trying this method.

But it will work if used in small periods. For people who use it over night they most likely find their skin dry and underneath where you can't see it will burn skin tissue. This on the good side with completely abliterate pimples and whiteheads but in turn will damage your skin. It's your risk.

Another SolutionUse a Q-Tip dipped in Rubbing Alchohol, and gently swab it onto the pimple right before you go to bed. By morning, the pimple will be a white-head and you can pop it.

Preventing Pimples Further:

Wash your hair regularly.

Change your pillowcase regularly.

Take regular showers.

If the above methods do not work, do not pick at the pimple unless it is a white-head. If you pick it it will turn redder and look worse.
