When you think of pimples, you may immediately imagine whiteheads, blackheads, or large pustules that look very painful. However, there are some pimples that form deep below the surface of the skin and look like large, red, and pimple bumps. These hidden bumps are small bumps or vesicles filled with sebum (oil) and cellular debris. Hidden pimples can be painful and appear like other pimples on the nose, forehead, neck, chin and cheeks, even behind the ears. Wash the surface of the skin and the sauna deep cleans the skin to quickly heal hidden pimples.

Steps

Part 1 of 3: Deep cleaning with a steam method

1. 

   Boil and mix water. Fill a 1 liter pot with water and boil for 1 minute. Place 1-2 drops of essential oil in a pot of water (or use ½ teaspoon of dried herbs per liter of water). Essential oils can help the body quickly absorb hidden pimples or suck hidden pimples out, helping acne heal faster. Some essential oils are even effective in preventing acne. Boil the water for 1 more minute after adding essential oils. You can choose from one of the following essential oils:
   • Peppermint (spearmint) or peppermint (peppermint): These essential oils contain menthol, which is an antiseptic and has been shown to improve the immune system. Some people experience irritation when using peppermint, so start with only 1 drop of essential oil per liter of water.
   • Calendula: This herb helps wound healing and has antimicrobial properties.
   • Lavender: This is an herb that is soothing and calming and may help with anxiety and depression. Lavender also has antibacterial properties.

2. 

   
   
   Try skin reactions. Since essential oils are derived from plants, you should test the skin's sensitivity to that plant before steaming your face. Place a drop of essential oil on your wrist and wait for 10-15 minutes. If you are sensitive or allergic, your skin will experience mild redness, which may or may not be itchy. If you are not sensitive to oil, you can steam your face. If your skin is sensitive to one oil, keep trying another oil.
   • Remember that you may be allergic to a plant essential oil that you have not had a reaction to before. That's why you should always test the skin's response to essential oils.

3. 

   
   
   Steam your face. Turn off the heat and lift the pot out. Tie your hair back so it doesn't get in the way and put a large, clean cotton towel on the back of your head. Reach over the steam pot so that the towel hangs around your face and keeps the steam inside. Close your eyes, breathe normally, and relax for 10 minutes. Wash your face with warm water and pat dry with a clean towel.
   • Remember to keep your face at least 30-40 cm from the water surface to avoid burns.
   • To re-steam the whole day, simply reheat the water until it starts to evaporate. The steaming process will help open pores for deep cleaning of debris and oil from the face. Steam therapy can remove hidden acne.

4. 

   
   
   Apply moisturizer. Lock the moisture off after steaming by applying moisturizer. Choose a moisturizer that doesn't clog pores (non-comedogenic). This cream will not clog pores, which can cause acne. Moisturizer will also help prevent skin damage, while also keeping the skin supple and elastic.
   • If your skin is sensitive to the product you are using, look for a moisturizer that doesn't contain perfumes or perfumes.

Part 2 of 3: Try home herbal remedies

1. 

   Use a warm compress. Because it is located deep under the skin, the hidden pimple takes longer to surface before it heals. To speed up this process, you can use a warm compress to draw the pimple onto the surface of your skin. Soak a cotton ball or cloth in hot water and place it on the pimple for a few minutes. Do this up to 3 times a day until acne appears.
   • You can also dip cotton balls in hot herbal tea with peppermint, lavender, chamomile, or thyme.

2. 

   Apply an ice pack. If hidden pimples cause red, inflamed, or painful skin, you can apply an ice pack for up to 10 minutes. This therapy can reduce swelling and make it easier to apply concealer if you are about to start the day. This therapy also helps relieve pain caused by hidden acne.
   • Always wrap ice in thin cloth. Avoid applying ice directly to the skin, as this can damage delicate tissues of the skin.

3. 

   Use green tea. Use a lotion containing 2% green tea extract to reduce acne. You can also soak the green tea bags in warm water and apply directly to hidden pimples for a few minutes. The tea acts as an astringent, causing the pimples to be sucked back up or raised to the surface of the skin, allowing the antibacterial herbs to kill the bacteria.
   • Research has shown that green tea is very useful in treating many skin conditions.

4. 

   Dab tea tree oil on the pimple. Dip a cotton ball or cotton swab in undiluted tea tree oil and dab it directly on hidden pimples. Do not rinse. Tea tree oil can reduce inflammation that causes hidden acne, while also helping the acne heal. Studies have shown tea tree oil also to have antimicrobial properties.
   • More research is still needed to determine the efficacy of applying tea tree oil to the skin in treating bacterial and viral infections.

5. 

   Make an herbal mask. Creates an all-natural blend with antibacterial, astringent, and healing properties. Mix 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of honey, 1 egg white (as the binder in the mixture), and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice (acts as a bleach). If you don't need or don't like bleach, replace it with witch hazel, which can help reduce inflammation. Add ½ teaspoon of one of the following essential oils and stir well:
   • Peppermint
   • Spearmint
   • Lavender
   • Chrysanthemum poker
   • Thyme grass

6. 

   Mask. Spread the paste on your face, neck, or wherever there are hidden pimples. Let the mask dry on your face for 15 minutes, then gently rinse it off with warm water. Avoid rubbing the skin when washing the mask. Pat the skin dry with a clean cloth and apply a non-comedogenic moisturizer.
   • If you want to use the dipping mixture on each pimple instead of the entire face, you can dip a cotton swab into the mixture and just apply it on the hidden pimples.

Part 3 of 3: Wash your face

1. 

   Choose a mild cleanser. Look for products that are mild, non-abrasive and vegetable-based that are labeled "non-comedogenic", which means they won't clog pores, the main cause of acne. Many dermatologists recommend glycerin, grape seed oil, and sunflower oil. You should also avoid cleansers that contain alcohol. Alcohol dries out the skin, irritating the skin and can damage the skin as it depletes the skin's natural oils.
   • Don't be afraid to use oil to clean your face. Oil that doesn't clog pores can help dissolve the oil in your skin.
   • Wet your face with warm water and gently rub your face with your fingers, as a washcloth or sponge can be too rough. Try not to rub. Pat your skin dry with a soft towel and apply moisturizer. You should only wash your face 2 times a day and after sweating.
   • Cetaphil is a mild and reliable facial cleanser that you might consider using.

2. 

   Wash your face. Use the tips of your fingers to apply the cleanser to the skin.Do not use a washcloth or sponge, as these can irritate your skin and make acne worse. Gently rub the cleanser into the skin using circular motions, but be careful not to, as rubbing and exfoliating can cause tiny scratches or scars on the skin. Wash your face 2 times a day. Pat your face dry with a clean, soft cloth.
   • Never pick, squeeze, squeeze, or touch a pimple. You can cause breakouts, scarring and prolong the recovery time.

3. 

   Avoid using strong skin care products. There are many, but not all, skin care products on the market that are gentle on the skin. You should avoid using irritating skin care products such as astringents, toners (water balancing skin), and exfoliating products. You also should not use products that contain salicylic acids (salicylic acids) or alpha hydroxy acids (alpha hydroxy acids) as these will dry out the skin. Be careful with over-the-counter products like skin abrasives. Only a dermatologist can perform skin care treatments to prevent skin damage.
   • Makeup can make acne hidden and acne worse. Cosmetic layers can clog pores or cause irritation due to chemicals or chemical mixtures in the product.

4. 

   Take a shower every day. Make a daily routine of cleansing your skin by taking a bath or shower. Take a bath more often if you sweat a lot. After exercising, take a shower or at least rinse.
   • Excessive sweating can make pimples and other types of acne worse, especially if you don't wash them off right away, as sweat can build up under the skin.
