Six Natural Ways To Get Rid Of Pimples by Irises(m): 9:33pm On Nov 07, 2013
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 get rid of pimples. It helps in improving blood
circulation to the affected area, and in freezing 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 .
When used repeatedly on the pimples throughout the day, ice helps reduce
inflammation or swelling and will immediately soothe your skin.

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 make a paste by mixing 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. Honey
Honey is a source of natural antibiotics that can speed up the healing
process, as well as help prevent infections.
Dip and clean cotton swab in honey , put it directly on the
affected area and leave it on for half an hour .
Wash the skin well with lukewarm water .
Another option is to mix honey and cinnamon together to make a paste and
applying it over the pimples before going to bed. In the morning, there will
be less inflammation or swelling. Wash the skin well with cold water.
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. The steam will open your pores and allow your skin to
breathe. This helps get rid of oils, dirt and bacteria trapped in the pores
that can cause infection or inflammation.
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 .
This treatment will also give your complexion a lovely glow.
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.
