How to Get Rid of Pimples - What Are They?

In order to learn how to get rid of pimples, it's important to know what they are and what causes them. So, first things first, what are they? Pimples are basically clogged pores (usually follicles), and though not all pimples are a sign of acne, most acne sufferers will have pimples. More often than not, these pimples are caused by the pores being blocked by oil, then becoming filled with sebum (in the case of whiteheads) or keratin (in the case of blackheads). So the trick of how to get rid of pimples is simply to prevent oil from clogging the pores, right? Not quite, though it would be nice if it were that easy. They can be caused by many others things, such as hormones, adrenaline, or poor diet. What you really have to do is find a product that addresses all of the causes of acne, or teaches you how to simply and easily change some of your pimple causing habits. Stay tuned for reviews of the top products, why they don't work, and which ones do.
