Does washing your face make you lose your tan?

I dont think it should because I myself have tan lines on my face from wearing goggles in the pool on holiday. My tan lines haven't gone which is quite irritating to be honest. Washing your face shouldn't make you lose your tan. It's like burning a piece of toast, washing it won't get rid of the burnt bit. Hope I helped. (:

How do you get rid of pimples within 1 hour?

It is not easy to make a pimple go away in a few hours. If it is a small one and you are lucky, it might. If it is not so small, you just have to follow some steps to help it go away.

  • Don't put any make-up on it, unless you need to (if you are going to a party or something). It is better to keep make-up off it though.
  • Keep oil off of the pimple and around it (and sweat)
  • DO NOT SCRUB THE PIMPLE with anything, cleansers, water, soap, ect.
  • Do not use all kinds of cleansers on it
  • Put hydrogen peroxide with a Q-tip
  • Pick one (it is not good to use tons of different types of cleansers) type of cleanser and use it as directed, by over-using it, it could possibly make it worse
  • In the morning, afternoon, and evening put more peroxide on it and regularly clean oil and sweat off of it GENTLY
  • Again, DO NOT SCRUB THE PIMPLE OR PUT ALL KINDS OF CLEANSERS ON IT!
  • Let it go away naturally and DO NOT PICK IT, IT WILL TAKE A LOT LONGER TO HEAL AND LEAVE SCARS

It is not very likely for a pimple to go away in a few hours. If you follow these steps and tips and let it heal naturally, it should go away soon, (and if you are lucky, in a couple hours, possibly!).

Many other possibilities, so get it checked out.

Another answer:

Don't pop it. I use a product called On-the-Spot recommended to me by a friend who was a model. It is Neutrogena and has worked flawlessly (pun intended) for me, sometimes over night. The active ingredient is 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide.

Answers from other contributors:

  • Begin by purchasing a skin care system. It doesn't matter if you are a girl or a boy, face washes are for everyone. Try ProActive or Clean and Clear. Start by washing your face morning and night. Don't touch your face often either. This will spread dirt and oils on your skin, clogging up the pores, causing more pimples. Also, try using a facial mask at least once or twice a week, to deep cleanse your pores.
  • Proactive works well for a lot of people but everyone has different skin, my friend used it and half her zits were gone and her acne was the worst I've ever seen in my life.Try it, it might work for you. Also I use these acne pads from Olay and they work so well, especially if you take a rag and put very warm water on it and put it on your face for a few minutes to open up your pores first.
  • Mary Kay Acne Treatment. When you stop using it, your face doesn't breakout again. You should use it as much as its directions say. The soap may sting, but it's just cleaning.
  • I use Proactiv Solution. It is the best way to cure exsisting acne and helps to stop it from forming. You will see great results in just a few days.
  • DO NOT USE PROACTIV! IT MAKES YOUR FACE "ADDICTED" to it and when you stop using it, it makes your face break out! My friend used it and it was HORRIBLE when she stopped!
  • Don't use bleach. It burns your skin and when you stop using it, it makes you break-out!
  • I use Vichy it works well!
  • Neutrogena has a lot of good acne products that work well. Also, you shouldn't say that a product doesn't work because you might have a different skin type than other people and it could work well for them.
  • If you wear makeup, try the oil free kind. This will keep the pores from clogging. Also, wear a sunscreen when going out. This will help clear it up too.
  • I just wash my face everyday with soap and water. Use warm water to wet your face and then use a soap that will not dry your skin out and then wash for 3-5 minutes and then rinse with cool water to close the pores up so no dirt or grime gets in there.
  • A good & working acne product is AcneFree. This is a 3-step process that has steps 1 2 and 3.
  1. Purifying Cleanser You can do it stick to one program and don't stop until you get what you want and that's a zit free totally clean smoth face.
  2. Renewing Toner
  3. Repair Lotion.

I must say that I am currently using this product and that it works well. This product is available at Wal-Mart in the face wash cleansers next to the make-up section. If this product does not work for you, try other products until you find the one that's right for you.

  • Or you can skip all the confusion and wash your face with soap day and night and don't touch your face at all. Use soap that does not dry your face.

Does acne turn girls off?

no its doesnt, to some girls it does but if you are yourself anyone can see past it

Girls really don't care as much about looks. They care more about personality. If I had the choice between a gorgeous guy who has the personality of a rock, or a guy who wouldn't be classified as hot or has acne but makes me laugh till I cry I would defiantly go for the guy with acne. Don't worry there is someone out there for you:)

Rid of acne or pimples?

You could pick up an acne treatment at any local store, such as Proactive or Clearasil.

That works but you also need to kepp your face always clean. Don't touch or play around with your face, wash it at least twice a day. I play basketball and my face is sweaty a lot, this opens up the pores, but then you should wash it afterwards to clear away the dirt and grime.

Does sperm on the face make pimples grow?

There's a good chance that the sperms will breed with germs in your face, as they burrow into your pores to mate with the germs. To prevent this, squeeze your zits and blackheads, along with your chin and sides of the nose. Allow the black, white, and yellow pustules to remain on the surface of your face, before applying the sperm layer. This will allow the sperms to mate harmlessly with the germs all over your face, without actually entering your skin layer.

Good Luck!

How do you treat acne on a new tattoo?

You leave the pimples alone. If you pop or pick at them, you will wind up ruining your new piece of art. Use soap and water and lightly wash it, then use a towel and pat it dry. Do Not Scrub It!!! You will end up losing most of the ink if you do that. Same thing when it starts to peel. Don't pick it.

How do you apply toothpaste to your face when trying to get rid of pimples?

Toothpaste is only good for pimples on your face. It dries them out. Toothpaste is not good for the skin. If you do use toothpaste for your pimples use white or clear toothpaste. Colored toothpaste will stain your face and make your face the color of the toothpaste for days. Also only put the toothpaste on the pimple. Not on your entire face. It will burn you until your eyes start to water if you do. Also be sure to not leave the toothpaste on for more than 5 minutes or else strong burning will occur.

Is there a natural cure for scars?

Some people have tried applications of aloe, vitamin E, and shea butter. You can also buy Medaderm gel over-the counter. With all of these, the appearance may become lighter or less raised, but the scar will remain. Once formed, it is made up of a connective tissue different than skin and will never resemble the natural texture without surgical or laser treatment.
