Here are steps to get rid of pimples -- and keep new ones from forming:
Wash your face twice a day with a gel-based or foaming cleanser.
Avoid harsh soaps and products containing alcohol.
When washing your face, gently massage it with circular motions.
When you have finished washing, use a lotion with the acne medicine benzoyl peroxide. You can get these in the drug store or supermarket without a prescription.
