As for makeup, you can wear it, just make sure it is definitely non-comodogenic (non pimple causing).  Many types of acne are not and will clog your pores and actually cause pimples, blackheads and whiteheads or even acne.  Just like with the moisturizer, everyone’s skin is unique.  You need to find what works best for you and stick with it.  What works wonderful on your girlfriend may cause pimples on your skin.  Yes, you can use a good concealor for when you need to cover up a pimple or break out. 

Be sure to always thoroughly wash off all makeup before you go to bed at night.  Makeup left on when sleeping will almost guarantee new pimples, blackheads and whiteheads when you wake up.  Also make sure you use a gentle wash or cleanser to remove the makeup.  Another great tip is to use a microfiber towel to always dry your face with.  They are very gentle and help open pores and will remove more dirt and oil than regular towels (facial microfiber towels can be purchased at stores like Target and Walmart for a few dollars (there is no need to spend 2 to 3 times more at your local department store for name brand items).

Another area that should receive attention is diet and sun exposure.  Both of these have an impact on your skin and thusly on pimples and acne.  It has been argued that chocolate does and does not cause pimples.  There are also numerous arguments by very learned professors and researchers on both sides of this and many other pimple causing food arguments.  Some say it could be food allergies or spicy foods that can bring on an outbreak.  The fact is that everyone’s skin is unique.  Yours may be darker, lighter, thinner, thicker, oilier, drier, etc you get the idea.  If you find that cola or coffee, spicy foods or chocolate make your facial skin oilier or bring on a pimple then by all means avoid that particular food, spice or herb.  Just like with moisturizers, you need to find what works best for you.  Also, stay out of the sun.  Not completely, however.

A little sun is important as your body will convert sun energy into vitamin D.  Without enough vitamin D you can become flaccid and this is often times attributed to conditions like fibromylagia, cancer, hypertension, diabetes, dental decay and even multiple sclerosis (Dermatology Times).  Too much sun can and will cause a jolt in sebum oil production similar to your body’s immediate increase in insulin production after eating sugar.  Too much oil on your face is a breeding ground for pimple and acne causing bacteria.  It also increases the likelihood of blocked pores as the skin cannot shed dead cells as well on oily skin and dirt becomes trapped.  An overly oily face is prime pimple territory.  So don’t stay in the sun too long, wear proper sun protection at all times with a high SPF (Sun Protection Factor of 20+) and try to avoid anything in your diet that may bring on pimples.

There are other treatments like LED light therapy, laser therapy, lancing of postules and deeply infected pimples, Accutane (which due to its severe side effects should only be used in the absolute worst cases – it does really work well on severe acne, however), and others.  These treatments usually require a doctors care and are rather expensive, some of which can run into the thousands of dollars and may not be covered by insurance.  The regimen listed above is not only very effective for pimple treatment, but in treatment of most forms of acne.  The best thing is it is not some unproven home remedy, it is actually used by real dermatologists, cosmetic and plastic surgeons everywhere.  That is because it really works.
