There are many reasons for the appearance of pimples: genetics and PMS are usually the cause of rashes. A poor lifestyle can also contribute to the emergence of these imperfections. However, these pimples usually develop as a result of excessive oil production and the accumulation of impurities in the pores of the skin.

That’s why, to get rid of pimples, you need to, first of all, cleanse your face. This will help remove excess sebum and impurities from your skin. You can use a gentle cleanser or facial scrub.

What products should you use?

If you have oily skin, you may need to use a stronger cleanser. You can also use an astringent tonic after cleansing to help remove excess oil.

If you have dry or sensitive skin, be sure to use a gentle cleanser. You may also want to use a moisturizer after cleansing to help keep your skin hydrated.

In general, it is best to avoid cleansers that contain harsh chemicals, such as sulfates. These can strip the natural oils from your skin and make your acne worse.
