How Do I Get Rid Of My Pimples On My Chest

by Lindsey White

You are all ready for your trip to the beach tomorrow. You've got your swim suit, your suntan lotion and OH NO, you've got pimples on your chest. It is too late for prevention, you need to know how to get rid of pimples on chest NOW!

Relax, although it may not be possible to get rid of all pimples on chest overnight, there are things you can do to minimize them or at least make them less noticeable. Here are a few suggestions.

Take a hot shower and wash using an exfoliating soap. This will open your pores and remove dead skin. Immediately after you bathe the pimples may appear redder and more swollen, but this just your body doing its job fighting the infection. By the time your skin cools they may disappear entirely or at least be much smaller and less noticeable.

Another thing that you can try is to use pore strips. Pore strips can work like a charm. Put them over the affected skin where you have pimples and wait a few minutes and pull them off. They should pull all of the dirt, oil and dead skin out of your pores, which will help also heal up the pimples.

You can also try a topical treatment that contains benzoyl peroxide. That powerful chemical kills the bacteria that cause pimples. It is best to use it right after you have showered so it can penetrate deep into your pores and keep them unclogged.

If all else fails, you can apply a bit of cover up to the pimple. Just be careful, some cosmetics will clog your pores which will only lead to more zits.

The one thing you should never do is pop a pimple. This will only spread the infection and leave you with a red, swollen scab which isn't very nice to look at either.

Most important, remember that the people you are going to be spending time with are more interested in the whole you than in a couple of blemishes. Chances are good that they have a few pimples on chest themselves.
