what's up everyone welcome back to my
channel if you're new here my name is
Alex Costa and this is probably one of
my most requested videos of all time
here on the channel peoples that are
paying the neck in no matter how good of
a hairstyle you have going on that day
or how dope of an outfit you're wearing
if your skin doesn't look good then
unfortunately you're just not gonna feel
very good about the way you look you're
just not gonna feel confident and you
can say who cares
they're just pimples they happen all the
time and you're right they do happen all
the time and that's why you should learn
how to properly get rid of them without
leaving any long-lasting damage or
scarring on your face so the first thing
you want to do is ice it because that
reduces the swelling the redness and the
inflammation of that area it's going to
shrink all of your pores which means it
also shrinks the size of the pimple
itself and if you want to know it does
that by constricting all of the blood
vessels underneath your skin which in
turn tightens everything and then
shrinks all of your pores and besides
doing all that it's also going to help
with any pain or itching going on as
well you know sometimes all you want to
do is pick at it and just rip that thing
off your face and the ice is definitely
gonna make sure that you don't do that
just make sure you're not applying ice
directly onto your skin have a cloth in
between that way you're not freezing
your cells all right you just want to
make sure that it's cold enough to
constrict those blood vessels and
tighten your skin next tip leave it
alone and try not to pop it when you pop
a zit it actually bursts out of your
skin and then causes a lot of damage
inside and out it might be a good
feeling to do it right then and there
but it's not worth it in the long term
listen I'm not a very patient person
okay so when I have a zit sometimes I
end up popping it and last time I did it
was about a month ago and I popped a zit
right here
and guess what I still have a spot right
here because I popped it if I didn't you
know I'd have a pimple for three days
and then after that I'd be good this
would not be here this is actually the
long-term damage that I caused picking
at it is always going to make the
healing process longer so don't make the
same mistake I did just leave it alone
try your best to just let it run its
course
you know it sucks it does take a little
bit of patience but it's worth it now
let's say that no matter what I tell you
in this video you're one of those people
that are still
a pop that's it you're stubborn I get it
it happens like I said try not to but if
you really have to don't use your dirty
fingers this is gonna make things so
much worse just grab a napkin and then
use that to make sure you're not getting
the area infected or better yet if you
can just use of these extraction tools
they're pretty affordable and get rid of
the pimple by using a lot less pressure
than you would with your own hands all
right guys and I've seen a lot of people
talk about using toothpaste on their
face to dry up their pimples don't do it
there is no reason to put toothpaste on
your face ever if you want to speed up
the process of getting rid of a pimple
and healing it there are some actual
products made just for that I like to
use this blemish treatment from Peter
Thomas Roth for example I just clean the
area and then I applied this little tiny
dot on the pimple before I go to bed and
then when I wake up in the next morning
it's a hundred times better and that's
because it has tea tree oil in it which
is used by a lot of different skincare
brands because it has a Snatcher ability
to kill bacteria and it also has
salicylic acid which helps unclog all of
your pores and honestly there are a
bunch of these products that can really
help you overnight so I'm gonna leave a
list of them linked in the description
below so you can go and pick the right
one for you and as you know everybody's
skin is different so make sure you do a
little bit of research before you pull
the trigger on any of these products and
guys honestly the best way of keeping
your skin acne free is by washing your
face especially if you have a zit or
just extracted one or even honestly if
you just touch your face a lot
throughout the day make sure your face
is always clean by washing it in the
morning when you wake up and then at
night right before you go to bed if you
can try to exfoliate once or twice a
week too just to get rid of all those
dead skin cells on your face exfoliating
will help you get rid of those dead
cells and then make way for new clear
skin and obviously guys if you do suffer
from severe acne make sure you see a
dermatologist it's always good to seek
professional help especially if it's
gonna make you feel so much better about
the way you look see a doctor ask for
some help and it could be as easy as
getting a prescription that's going to
eliminate all acne from ever showing up
on your face again
