The unpredictable tropical weather conditions of the Philippines can take a toll
on our skin, causing unsightly breakouts that can be painful and embarrassing.
Learn how to deal with them in this article.

Department stores are teeming with so-called solutions to your pimple problems,
but the crucial part is to identify the root cause and determine the right skin
care ritual to get rid of them:
*For      those who always get big, hard bumps…
*They’re       called cystic pimples which are deep underneath the skin and
are chock       full of trapped sebum. Pricking them is the most careless thing
to do as       this type of zit will definitely scar. Heredity is the root cause
of this       type. 	*The       Solution: a dermatologist is the only one who
can help you solve this       type of problem because this is a serious case of
acne. She will likely       prescribe a retinoid to unclog the pores and reduce
the swelling or an       oral antibiotic to kill the bacteria that’s been
causing them.
*For      those who always get occasional red pimples…
*Then       you might have papules, which look like round, elevated bumps that  
    haven’t formed heads. These are clogged pores that have become irritated  
    and swollen. The main cause may be the use of wrong products or over      
scrubbing the face. 	*The       Solution: a strong spot treatment with retinoid
will solve the trick by       helping the skin to shed off the top layer of dead
skin cells, drying up       the sebum and eliminating bacteria.
*For      those who always get blackheads and whiteheads…
*They       are pores with sebum trapped in them. They become swollen when
irritated.       Blackheads are so because the dirt and oil is closer to the
surface and       darkened by oxidation. 	*The       Solution: An antibacterial
face cleanser with Salicylic Acid or Benzoyl       Peroxide. A spot treatment
gel will help deal with those nastier, more       concentrated places.
