how to get rid of pimples

Pimples have troubled us all at one point or another in our lives. They can completely wreck a person’s appearance, especially if they appear on the face. Mostly found in adolescents, they will almost stop appearing once a person matures and reaches adulthood. Causes of pimples differ from improper diet, excess sweating, hormonal changes and excessive use of cosmetics. These little red buggers indicate irritation of the skin and/or a reaction to bacteria. But they can be reduced, or even completely cleared, without having to take any medication or ointments.

Best Ways to Get Rid of Pimples

Let’s check out some best natural ways on how to get rid of pimples.

Lemons

Lemons

Lemons contain citric acid that kills bacteria and, alongside other components help soften the skin color and texture. Use the lemon juice by soaking tissue paper or cotton in it and then apply it to the pimple. Then rinse after a few minutes. Even the juiced lemon can be rubbed on the skin and then rinsed off. Repeat twice or thrice a day.

Cucumbers

Toothpaste

Toothpaste contains many chemicals that help dry out the skin and so can be used to dry out a pimple. Some toothpaste may contain menthol or fluoride that can cause irritation, avoid using them and use plain white toothpaste. Wash and dry the pimple area and apply a small amount of toothpaste overnight. Wash the toothpaste in the morning.

Aloe Vera
