Home Remedies for Pimples
We poke.
We squeeze.
We pick at them.
Anything to get rid of those unsightly pimples that seem to pop up out of nowhere.
But experts warn against this all too common practice.
While popping a whitehead or squeezing a blackhead can work sometimes, it may actually make matters
worse, increasing the risk of infection and damaging healthy skin around the pimple.
Here are the top 5 home remedies for pimples.
1.
Lemon Juice
Lemon juice can effectively treat pimples within a few days.
It contains high vitamin C content, which is good for all types of skin, and its acidic
property helps exfoliate the skin.
Plus, it is an astringent that will help dry out pimples quickly.
Dip a cotton ball in two tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and apply it on your pimples.
Leave it on for 20 minutes and then wash it off with lukewarm water.
Repeat the process two or three times a day for a few days.
Thoroughly mix equal amounts of lemon juice and rose water.
Apply the mixture on the pimples and leave it on for about 30 minutes.
Then, wash your face with lukewarm water.
Do this twice daily for a week.
Mix one tablespoon of lemon juice with one teaspoon of ground nut oil and apply it on
the affected skin area.
Allow it to dry on its own before rinsing it off with lukewarm water.
Do this once daily for a week.
2.
Toothpaste
The toothpaste that you use to clean your teeth can also be used to treat pimples.
Toothpaste can help dry out pimples quickly due to ingredients like baking soda, hydrogen
peroxide, alcohol and menthol.
However, you must only use white toothpaste.
Do not use whitening, gel, or colored toothpastes.
Apply a little toothpaste on your pimples.
Leave it on for two hours or overnight.
Wash it off with a damp washcloth and then apply a soothing moisturizer.
Repeat once daily for a week or two.
3.
Garlic
Garlic can also be used as an effective home treatment for pimples due to its antibacterial
properties and sulfur content.
It is also full of antibiotic, antifungal, antiseptic and other healing properties.
Cut garlic cloves into two and rub the pieces on your pimples.
Leave it on for five to 10 minutes and then wash your face.
Repeat the process several times a day for a few days.
You can also eat one or two raw garlic cloves daily on an empty stomach to purify your blood,
which will help reduce pimples.
4.
Steam
Steam can help alleviate a number of minor skin problems, including pimples.
Steam helps open up clogged pores, allowing the skin to breathe.
Bacteria, dirt and oil trapped deep within the skin also will be flushed out.
Boil a pot of water and pour it into a large bowl.
Allow the water temperature to cool slightly so the steam doesn�t burn your skin.
Place your face above the bowl and drape a thick towel over your head to trap the steam.
After 10 to 15 minutes, remove the towel and pat your face dry.
Then apply an oil-free moisturizer.
Repeat this process two times a day for four or five days to reduce pimples and make your
skin glow.
5.
Ice Pack
Ice helps treat pimples by improving the blood circulation in the affected skin area.
It also helps freeze clogged skin pores, which in turn removes oil and dirt particles accumulated
in the skin.
Ice will also reduce the inflammation and pain caused by pimples.
Wrap ice cubes or crushed ice in a clean, cotton cloth and gently press it on the affected
area for a few seconds.
Wait a few minutes and repeat the process three or four times.
Do this twice daily to get rid of pimples within a day or two.
