How to take care of your pimples after picking them

For some people, if the acne does not disappear for a long time after they have it, it will be really unbearable. Many people will use a picking needle to pick the acne open and then squeeze out the contents. This can speed up the improvement of the acne, but you must understand that you must not squeeze it with your hands. In addition, when picking acne, you must pay attention to doing it in a sterile environment, and you must strengthen care after picking the acne.

How to care after picking pimples : 1. Use mild skin care products. The skin after picking pimples with a pimple needle is extremely fragile. Generally, skin care products can only be used after the pimples have completely subsided. You should also be careful when choosing skin care products to avoid irritating the skin. Generally, choose mild, additive-free skin care products to maintain your skin. 2. Apply tea tree essential oil. Tea tree essential oil is an essential oil component extracted from tea trees. It belongs to the oil category and is lipophilic, so it can easily penetrate into the skin. Tea tree can play an anti-inflammatory and calming role, and relieve the redness after picking acne with a acne needle. Using aloe vera gel has the same effect.

3. Use astringent water to shrink pores. The pores in the areas that have been picked will expand, so you should apply astringent water or a pore-shrinking cream to calm and soothe the wounds on the skin where the acne has just been picked to prevent the pores from becoming larger. 4. Clean the wound with saline solution. The pimples picked with a acne needle should not come into contact with water within four hours to avoid infection of the wound. Therefore, you should apply saline solution or mild lotion to the wound. This will not only reduce inflammation, but also reduce the redness and swelling after squeezing.

Precautions for using acne needles 1. Disinfection of acne needles Be sure to disinfect them before use and wash your hands and face. This is the most basic and important step. If you don’t pay enough attention to it, the bacteria will come into contact with the acne and infect the acne wound, causing greater trouble. 2. Control the force well. After disinfection, use the tip of the acne needle to gently pierce the white part of the acne. This step requires you to control the strength and pay attention to the technique, and make sure to maintain a 90-degree vertical position. 3. Acne suitable for acne needle treatment should be those without inflammation and with acne symptoms that are neither deep nor shallow. If the acne has not yet reached the "mature" stage, or the acne is too deep or has not been reduced inflamed for a long time, it is best not to pick it.
