How To Get Rid of Whiteheads

As disgusting as it is whiteheads are on of the most common skin problems there are. People are looking for cures and information on how to get rid of whiteheads.

There are 2 schools of thought on getting rid of whiteheads once they’ve appeared. The first is Popping them, although not recommended by dermatologists popping the whitehead is the quickest fix.

There are a few drawback to this though. Scarring for one and infection of the pores around the whitehead, which can lead to even more whiteheads.

If you do plan on popping the whitehead make sure that you are using a sterile instrument (i.e sewing needle) and after the white is popped cleaning the surrounding area is very important. Using a cotton ball soaked in benzoyl peroxide seems to work well.

The second method is to use topical lotions to clean and dry out infected area. There are quite a few over the counter products that can do this, Pro-activ seems to be the most popular one. Keep in mind that the results are not instant and can take up to 4-6 weeks to work depending on how severe the problem is.

For really serious problems with whiteheads you should see a professional dermatologist that can prescribe a stronger medicated solution. (Rentol A or Accutane are the most common).

Prevention
Preventing whiteheads from coming back should be your main goal so that you don’t have to keep dealing with the stress that dealing with these things can cause. Trust me when I say that stress can cause more breakouts, I know first hand.

Your first step is to get a good face wash for whiteheads and use it daily. Keeping your pores clean is essential as dead skin and bacteria are the biggest causes of whiteheads.

2 other tips I can offer you are to stop touching your face so much. Think about where your hands have been throughout the day, by touching your face or scratching the infected areas you are just going to spread the bacteria and make the situation worse. So keep your hands down.

The other tip is to really watch what you are eating. A lot of people say that the food you eat doesn’t have an effect on the number of whiteheads you get, but I think that is BS. Greasy, fat laden food will clog your pores.

Have you ever noticed that people who eat oily types food like garlic, curry, a lot of fish etc.. can smell like the foods they ate for days afterwards? Is comes from your pores and too much of it can clog them, which as you know causes whiteheads.

Finding Deals on Diapers

I have recently become a big coupon clipper and finding valid online coupons can be a challenge. I started a site the other day called Huggiesdiapercoupons.net as a place to show people where to look for coupons for Huggies products.

Keep in mind that this is a work in progress and is about 2 days old. I’m not sure how in depth I am going to go with it, I might start posting the coupons as I find them but that can be time consuming. There are a ton of sites already doing that and some of them are really good at it.

Anyway have a look at it, it’s my first attempt at a stand alone single page site. You can see it here at: Huggies Diaper Coupons

There is another site dedicated to finding Pampers which can be found at Pampers Diapers Coupons
