1. Dehydration occurs when the body does not get enough water. It can cause dry, scaly, and flushed skin. Additionally, dehydration can trigger inflammation and promote the growth of bacteria. If you are pregnant or nursing, it is important to get enough water. It can help prevent acne by reducing the risk of inflammation and infection.

2. Applying makeup can help to cover up the appearance of pimples and breakouts. However, it is important to use a foundation or collider that is noncomedogenic and fragrance-free. This can help prevent clogging of pores and breakouts. It is also important to gently wash any makeup off at the end of the day and before going to bed.

3. Sun exposure can help to dry out pimples in the short term, but it can also have unwanted skin consequences in the long run. Frequent sun exposure can cause skin to become drier, which can lead to the production of more oil and blocked pores. Wearing sunscreen can help to protect the skin from the sun.

4. Tea tree oil is a popular natural remedy for pimples. It contains a compound called terpinene-4-ol, which has been shown to kill certain bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Tea tree oil can be applied to the inflamed area or added to a daily cleanser or moisturizer.

5. It is important to note that some foods and lifestyle choices can contribute to acne, such as processed foods, dairy products, alcohol, refined sugars, and fast food. Reducing your intake of these foods or adopting an anti-acne diet may help ease your breakouts. If acne persists, it is important to consult a dermatologist to discuss your treatment options.
