It's best not to squeeze pimples on your face, as it can leave marks. If you must squeeze them, make sure to wash your face with a cleanser before doing so, keep your hands clean, and ensure the pimple is completely squeezed out, otherwise it will grow back and may easily form lumps. After squeezing, clean the skin with toner or saline solution to keep it fresh and clean. Be careful not to wash your face with cold water to avoid skin infection.
What to do after squeezing pimples:
1. Maintain a light diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, supplement vitamins, and promote wound healing.
2. Avoid alcohol and spicy, irritating foods like chili peppers.
3. Pay attention to a regular lifestyle and ensure adequate sleep.
4. Exercise moderately to speed up skin metabolism and wound healing.
Can you apply a face mask after squeezing pimples?
No.
Normally, face masks should not be applied daily, especially for oily skin prone to acne. For those with oily skin, it's okay to do it frequently. For combination skin, where the forehead and nose are oily but the cheeks are sensitive, you can apply a partial face mask only on the forehead and nose.
Homemade vegetable and fruit face masks are the best, as they are not overly nutritious or irritating, and can be used daily. However, they must be clean, not too concentrated, and not left on for too long. They might even be effective against your facial acne.
Current face masks are not suitable for all skin types, so you should be cautious when using them. Preventing acne mainly involves regular cleaning and using natural skincare products, which will rarely cause the acne you mentioned.
