Never apply acne pimple plaster on injured skin

It is better not to use pimple patches on injured skin
Especially during puberty, many people have to deal with pimples and blackheads. One way to get such skin problems under better control is pimple patches. But they should not be stuck on injured skin.

What you can do against pimples
To the question: "What helps with acne and pimples?" Sufferers and experts have different answers. Some people prefer home remedies for pimples, such as healing earth, others say cosmetics are better. For pimples, there are, among other things, pimple patches with antibacterial properties. When using, please note that they are "not suitable for all skin types and not in every situation".

Sometimes conventional care is not enough
In some cases, the normal day and night care is simply not enough. For example, when a face is particularly problematic and you have to fight there with pimples. Then so-called nose or pimple patches can be used in addition. "Pimple patches contain one or more highly concentrated active ingredients, which due to their antibacterial properties act against impurities and pimples", explained Birgit Huber of the industry association for personal care and washing agents in Frankfurt.

Beware of serious skin diseases
The ingredients unfold their effect by sticking exactly on the affected area. "Pimple patches are useful when the skin is prone to blemishes or pimples." However, these patches should better not be used in serious skin conditions, damaged skin or in areas with sunburn. "If the skin reacts sensitively to patches, a compatibility test should be carried out in advance." However, the juice of aloe vera or other home remedies for acne can be used with such skin problems very well. (Ad)
