    I squeeze blackheads! and white heads! if your hands are really clean, then this is the best thing to do. once they've come out, dab some tea tree or witchhazel onto them to stop infections and you should be ok. i say this because my skin is quite rubbish, so i have a nightly task of doing this.

    oh i love popping zits. my mom did it to me as a kid and when i hit puberty i got addicted. now that i dont wear makeup anymore i've really had to lay off though, it kills my skin even if my hands are clean. i average about 7-8 good ones a week, and my skin hasnt had a good day in 5 years. i always have at least two big red spots somewhere. my friend is addicted too and if i'm trying to let my face clear up i have to practically hold her off of me, she loves to pop them so much, lol.

    I find it to usually make things worse for me personally. If I leave it all alone until morning or night its usually better. And using a wash cloth to wash the face works very well for me. I don't use warm water though.

    I used to get a lot of black heads and pimples when I had a poor diet all thru my entire childhood/teenage years.

    When I started eating vegetarian/vegan I never got any.

    It seems like the stuff people use to get rid of them just makes it worse....

    Try leaving it all alone. Not even thinking about it, which I know can be difficult. Don't look at your face in the mirror all day. Try to keep busy. And maybe eat a little healthier if you think thats possibly contributing. Exercise perhaps, as well..

    me and my boyfriend pop eachother's pimples. i was embarrassed and felt insulted at first, but now i like it. except when he does it in front of other people. it's like, "quit drawing attention to my fucked up skin!!!" it is very satisfying to pop them though. fun. haha..

    No problem. Tell me if it works at all. And another thing I thought of is maybe washing your sheets or just the pillow cases because I think those can really be silent killers. Think about it, if you take showers in the morning then every night you go to bed at your dirtiest and with the most oils and other shit in your hair. It gets in the pillows and then you rub your face in it all night.

    yes, i think pillow cases are major horror spots. i have dreads and only wash them once a week, so my pillow cases are always looking grungy. i need to wash them more often, maybe my face will clear up a bit more. :rolleyes:

    drinking a lot of water helps too.

    I asked because I used to have a lot of blackheads/zits growing up
    but when I started eating vegan they completely went away.
    Even while I was a traveling dirty nomad.
    I think diet affects your outbreaks tremendously.

    Also, don't use chemicals to try and fight them-
    it only makes it worse.
    wash your face with some good soap, like dr bronners.
    peppermint----ohhhh it's heavenly.
