Popping Pimples Right and a Beauty Tip

I just wanted to let you all know that I started a new blog called Popping Pimples Right. It is a small blog right now that I hope will help people prevent acne. I am so happy to have such clear skin right now, you can tell from by about me page how much I had to deal with acne. I had that cystic adult hormonal acne along my chin, which I am really happy to be beating. I am working on promoting the blog right now. We will see what happens.

I am trying to expand my online business, which is why I have not been posting very much to my Femme Façade beauty blog. However, I am trying to grow the traffic for this blog as well, and I am promoting it. Hopefully, everything will work out great and more beauty tips and secrets will come rolling in from some nice readers.

And now let me leave you all a little beauty tip. If you have stubborn blackheads try a little Beta Hydroxy Acid on them. I like using the Oxy pads, yes that is right, the old school Oxy. Or Clearasil if you can’t find the Oxy. Those acne treatments have a good percentage of BHA and are pH balanced, but make sure you grab the right jar. It’s the old red one. The pH balance is key, because otherwise it will not work effectively and you will be back popping a pimple again. The Beta Hydroxy Acid may help you stop pimple popping too, because it will help you to stop the pimples from even appearing on your face.

I swipe a pad on just my nose and a little on my cheeks, only where the blackheads are and then I apply my AHA product to the rest of my face. And my blackheads are disappearing and no other pimples are forming. The key for me is keep the BHA only on the blackheads, because otherwise it will breakout the rest of my face, weird I know. Everyone is different though. For most people BHA is the only thing that will keep pimples away, both whiteheads and blackheads.

I have also been using my old Queen Helene sulfur mask too. I use to love this mask. I stopped using it when I started using Eau Thermale Avene’s retinaldehyde, because my face was peeling. Now that it is not peeling anymore, I thought I would try it again the other day. I really liked it. Sulfur is really good for acne prone oily skin. It also helps to get rid of the blackheads too. I am going to start using this mask again every now and then.

I used to apply this beauty mask weekly or sometimes twice a week. I don’t think I need that much frequency anymore, what with how well my acne treatments are working. It is up to you and your skin how often you apply a mask. Do you lovely readers have a beauty tip to share? Do you know any great ways to pop a pimple perhaps?

Get Rid of Pimples and Cysts with Sulfur and Alpha Hydroxy Acid


Do you get those painful red cysts or pimples on your chin?

The pimples/red bumps that take months to go away! The tender zits hurt so bad!

I definitely feel your pain! My chin was covered in cysts for years. When a cysts would finally go ways after months, another one would take its’ place.

These types of pimples/cysts are hormonal acne. It’s also called adult acne. Cysts on the chin and jawline occur in many people in their 20s.

Getting rid of these pimples is quite a task, but it can be done. It’s all in finding what works for you. For me, a combination of Alpha Hydroxy Acid gel and Sulfur really worked, along with the Avene’s Retinaldehyde did the trick. As I have mentioned AHA before, it really helped to stop the pimples in their tracks. Pretty amazing since AHA is a surface exfoliant and Beta Hydroxy Acid is more for cleaning out the pores. But AHA worked better for me than BHA, it might work for you too! AHA also helped to erase red marks left over from the hormonal cysts too!

Anyway, back to sulfur. Sulfur is another medication that kills bacteria. And it has worked really good for me, way better than BHA again. BHA just never worked for me and yet over the years I persistently kept trying every brand of BHA out there. Some people’s skin just likes different skin care products.

Adult Acnomel is a sulfur spot treatment. I have used it and it works really well to reduce those pimples overnight.

Queen Helene Mint Julep is a sulfur mask that can be used once per week. It can actually be used as a spot treatment too. It works good as a mask for oily skin mostly, because it has Kaolin clay as an ingredient. So it’s a great product with multi-uses and plus it comes in a huge tube for an unbelievable price of around $4!

DDF also makes a sulfur mask that gets great reviews for $34

I would go for the Queen Helene mask! Don’t be discourage because of the cheap factor. It’s about ingredients! And you can use the Queen Helene Mint Julep as a mask and as a spot treatment. Great buy for your money and for your beauty!
