How
to Remove Pimples.
Pimples are a normal skin condition that affect
many people. Pimples are an inflammation
of the skin in which the sebaceous glands (oil glands) become infected with
bacteria, swell up, and fill with pus.
Excess sebum secretion by the oil glands is the
primary cause behind this problem. Pimples generally occur on the face, neck,
back and shoulders. Though not a critical condition, pimples can make a person
feel miserable due to their appearance.
There are a lot of lotions and medicines on the
market to treat pimples but they can take time. Many natural methods are
effective in treating pimples within a very short time period.
Here are the top 10 ways to get rid of pimples
fast.
1. Ice
Ice can be used to quickly reduce the redness,
swelling and inflammation of pimples. It helps in improving blood circulation
to the affected area, and in tightening the skin
pores and
removing dirt and oil accumulated on the skin. You can use ice cubes or crushed
ice, whichever is convenient.
- Wrap the ice in a piece of
cloth and hold it on the affected skin area for a few seconds.
- Wait a few minutes and repeat
the process.
2. Lemon
Another quick way to get rid of pimples is the
use of lemon juice, which is rich in vitamin C. Lemon juice helps pimples dry
up faster. Be sure to use fresh lemon juice and not bottled juice, which has
preservatives. There are a couple of ways to apply this remedy.
- Dip a clean cotton swab in
fresh lemon juice and apply it to the pimples before going to bed.
- You can also mix one tablespoon of lemon juice with one
teaspoon of cinnamon powder and put it on the pimples overnight. In the
morning, wash the skin well with lukewarm water. However, this particular
remedy is not suitable for those with sensitive skin.
- 3. Tea
Tree Oil
Tea tree oil is excellent for treating acne and
pimples. It has antibacterial properties that help fight the bacteria that
cause these skin problems.
Plus, its soothing properties help reduce the redness
and inflammation of pimples. It also helps dry out blackheads and whiteheads.
- Just dip a cotton ball in tea
tree essential oil and dab it on the affected area. Rinse your face after
15 to 20 minutes.
- Another option is to mix a few
drops of tea tree oil in 1 tablespoon of aloe vera gel. Apply it on your
pimples and blemishes, leave it on for 20 minutes and then rinse it off.
Note: Steer clear of tea tree oil if you have
sensitive skin.
4. Toothpaste
The toothpaste that you use every morning to
clean your teeth also can be used to treat pimples quickly. It is most
effective when used following the ice remedy. You must use white toothpaste;
avoid using gel toothpaste.
- Apply some white toothpaste
over the affected skin area before going to bed.
- In the morning, wash your face
with water and you will see a significant improvement in the swelling.
If you wish, you can repeat the process in the
daytime also. Just make sure the toothpaste remains on the pimples for at least
half an hour.
5. Steam
Steaming is wonderful for your skin at any time,
but particularly when you have pimples.
- Fill a large container with hot
water and allow the steam to come in contact with your face for a few
minutes.
- Rinse your face with lukewarm
water and, after drying, apply an oil-free moisturizer.
6. Garlic
Garlic is an antiviral, antifungal, antiseptic
and antioxidant agent that can help in the fast treatment of pimples. The
sulfur in garlic also promotes quick healing of pimples.
- Cut a fresh garlic clove into
two pieces.
- Rub the garlic on the pimples
and leave it for five minutes before washing the skin with lukewarm water.
- Repeat the treatment several
times a day.
Eating one raw garlic clove daily can also help
purify your blood. But do not to eat too much raw garlic as it can upset the
stomach.
