How to Stop Zits From Forming
Feel a zit forming below the surface of your skin? Here are some tips that can help stop it from turning into a full-on breakout: (1) Focus on keeping your skin clean. This can not only help halt a zit in its path but also reduce the severity and duration of a breakout. (2) Avoid touching your face. Forcing a pimple to come to the skin's surface can potentially lead to an infection and even permanent scarring. (3) Control the inflammation. If you experience pain and irritation associated with under-the-surface acne, you can relieve some of the pressure by applying a warm compress or ice to ease inflammation. (4) Spot treat the area. The anti-inflammatory and bacteria-fighting ingredients in spot treatments can help stop zits from forming under the skin.
