Getting rid of stubborn pimples / how?

I’ve tried several things too, and I am 26 and still get pimples. My suggestion would be that if you wear a lot of make-up…give your face a rest for a few days. Make sure you wash your face twice a day. The best thing that I’ve found for myself that works great is Purpose facial soap, and I say this even after trying Proactive. You can get it in a bar form or in a liquid form. The bar form is cheaper and works fine for me. Also, you should get yourself some moisturizer for your face. Apply it after you wash to keep your skin from drying out. Also, apply it before you put on make-up, so that your foundation doesn’t get in your pores so much. DO NOT POKE AT YOUR PIMPLES. They will go away, but if you keep poking and popping them, you could end up with scars that last you a life time. That is much worse, trust me. Get you a facial buff pad, and rub the soap on it, and GENTLY was your face. Do not scrub hard or your face will end up raw and hurt. You can get everything I told you about at walmart. The bar of Purpose soap is less than $5, the buff pad is about $2 or less, and the moisturizer depends on which type you get. Purpose makes one, and I think its a little over $7, but it might work best with the soap. The moisturizer will last you a long time, because all you need is dime sized spot of it each time you use it. Good luck, and let me know how it goes. Oh and never ever sleep in your make-up because its a sure thing to get pimples if you do.
