I know what you're thinking. Strange... how is this going to help clean up zits? My husband told me about this as he suffered from teenage acne. Basically he had acne along his chin and on his forehead as he would lean his face on his hands at school. He then used baby wipes (the cleansing ones) after all his meals as it was an easy way to remember to keep the cleansing up. He saw improvement within days... and a month later most of the zits had cleared up and all that was left were scars. Over time these also faded.
Key - consistently keeping your face clean and free of bacteria.
This means that your pores won't become infected and cause zits!
I know that this isn't the ultimate way to clear up your skin, as there are many different types of acne and you should consult your doctor or skin care specialist. It's a good start though.
My experience -
Background - At the moment, I lean my chin on my hands when I'm sitting at my desk. Result - zits all over my chin.
As a teen I had them on my forehead and it would have been due to hormones. At the time I just used Clinique's 3 step system and they ended up going away once my hormones settled down! Phew!
These days my chin zits are due to the bacteria on my hands. I generally think of myself as a clean person, but we all have bacteria on our hands even if we wash and sanitise them all the time! So my husband reminded me of his baby wipe trick! It worked! Thank goodness!
Method - Buy some cleansing baby wipes. I bought the below pack from Priceline as it's a good size to fit in my bag. They're only AU$2.99!!!!
I still keep to my regular morning and night cleansing, but during the day I would wipe just my chin with a baby wipe after each time I ate. This meant that any food that was wiped on my chin from my napkin would also be cleaned off at the same time as removing the bacteria that was already on there from my hands.
Results - This combined with me no touching my face has resulted in a huge reduction of zits on my chin. I currently have one right near my bottom lip but other than that I am only left with 48 (yes I counted them for this post) zit scars! At any one time I use to have 3-5 zits on my chin but not anymore. I noticed an improvement after just 3 days. My zits dried up and then vanished!
Note - This isn't going to work for everyone and is just my experience. There are many great cleansing systems out on the market to help you with your zits as everyone has different skin and reasons for developing zits in the first place. If you have any concerns about your skin you should consult your doctor.
So go out and buy some baby wipes if you want to help your skin battle bad zit cause bacteria!
