How to Get Rid of T Zone Pimples
Overview
Pimples in the T zone can be hard to manage, as the forehead, nose and chin can be oily at the same time the area around the mouth and cheeks are dry and flaky. The T zone is prone to pimples and blackheads because there are more oil-producing glands in those areas, according to TeensHealth. Although pimples in the T zone can be frustrating, they can be controlled with patience and proper care.
Step 1
Wash your face with warm water and a mild cleanser twice every day. Massage the cleanser into your face without scrubbing. Rinse thoroughly with warm water, as cleanser remaining on the skin can clog the pores, causing pimples and blackheads.
Step 2
Saturate a cosmetic pad or cotton ball with a toner containing salicylic acid, recommends Seventeen. Smooth the toner over your T zone. Alternatively, apply an over-the-counter skin care product containing benzoyl peroxide, which will dry oily T zone areas and decrease bacteria that can cause pimples and blackheads.
Step 3
Smooth an oil-free moisturizer over any dry areas on your face after toning. Use a moisturizer marked "non-comodogenic," which won't clog the pores.
