Pimple advice for Savannah?

Ugh. I know how Savannah feels. Pimples have a way of showing up exactly when you do not want them. Here's her question.

Dear PLS,
I have a huge pimple that sits right under my eyelid and tomorrow I have a school dance. My sis says it's noticeable but I don't know how to get rid of it using no lotions. Any help?
Savannah, 11

In my opinion, you have to just accept that you have a pimple and do what you can. Don't try to pop it because that can make it more noticeable. A little flesh-colored makeup called concealer can help it blend in with your skin. Maybe your mom can help with that? Try not to worry too much. If the dance is like dances at my school, the lighting is kinda dark so no one may ever know but you! For more info about how to handle pimples, CLICK HERE.

OK Pink Locker girls, anyone else want to give some advice? Or maybe you've been in exactly the same situation?
Think pink!

I had one on the conner of my lip, and I looked like cruel devil and what I did was put base. Don't put more makeup on because then everyone will look at your face and will notice you pimple.

Try some covergirl concealer or anything high quality really. You can also try dabbing it with tea tree oil. Remember whateverr you do don't squeeze it!

soap and water is the best way to go. 3 times a day, morning afternoon, night. i've tried every possible store brand pinple stuff but it doesn't work it really irritates my skin. soap and water will never fail you. i've never been dissapointed by the simplest of treatments!

wash your face reeally well at least twice a day, & you should try some good quality cover up & conceler, but dont go overboard. Plus, no one will probaly pay too much attencion to it anyway.

The best thing you should do is put some zit cream on it and after that dries put some blush on and cover up your pimple. Just don't pop it otherwise it can turn out to be a scar on your face.

Hey Girl,
I know how you feel. I've had pimples since the 4th grade. People would point them out, but I obviously knew they were there. But since then I've learned that someday everyones probably going to have at least one pimple in their life, everyone who pointed them out to me has pimples. Don't worry about your looks, your personality and good grades and stuff like that get you somewhere most likely good.
Sincerely,
Suzette

Ok, I have 6 spots on both cheeks (6 each) some on my forehead, chin, nose, and a really big bad one on my cheek. Ok: steam inhalation, toner/cleanser, tea-tree oil/cream. I wouldn't go for make-up because you'll pay for it late: it can get infected and there's having a spot and having a skin rash that spreads and looks like your skin is burnt off!

Try getting a facial. They can safely remove zits, and leave your face feeling nice and clean afterwards. I get a facial once a month, and it really helps :)

All of a sudden, i got a bunch of pimples that wont go away and i have tried everything to stop them from popping up on my face. one thing that really kind of worked was some kind of face wash, but it feels like rubbing sandpaper on your face, and even if i used the face wash, a pimple shows up somewhere somehow. Help?

If you have a pimple, DO NOT put any makeup even the slightest bit pink toned on or near it. That will make it appear even pinker than it already is. Hope this helps!

Do not scratch/try to pop it. Try using facial cleansers every night. Also, you might want to look into getting a facial once a month. They can get rid of pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, etc.

hey i know how you feel i get spots and pimples ALL THE TIME but it doesnt stop me from having fun,i found a really good way of getting spot and pimples away and making them unnoticable all you need to do is hold an ice pack to your spots and pimples and that makes them less red then put a little concealer and that should do the trick

i hope this helps!!!!! :P
