One way to potentially prevent a pimple from fully forming is to apply a spot treatment containing ingredients like benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or tea tree oil at the first sign of a pimple forming. Keeping your skin clean, avoiding touching your face with dirty hands, and maintaining a healthy skincare routine can also help prevent breakouts. Additionally, avoiding heavy or comedogenic products that may clog pores can be beneficial in preventing pimples. Regular exfoliation can also help keep pores clear and reduce the likelihood of pimples forming.
