Pimples

Pimples are skin breakouts that result because of excess oil and dirt in the pores of the skin. Although normally thought of as a problem for adolescents and teenagers, acne can become a problem with adults as well. Everyone has likely tried a variety of different ways to get rid of that “zit” that pops up right before a big date or before posing for a picture. The problem is more common in people with oily skin, but no one is immune to the problem of acne.  

Home Remedies For Pimples:

Facial Cleaners:

One thing our grandmothers and mothers have taught us is to reduce the number of pimples, make sure we keep the facial area free of oils and dirt. Doing this means making sure that the skin cleanser you use is made for your particular type of skin. These products come in oily, normal, and dry skin formulas as well as formulas for skin that is particularly prone to acne. Northing is a better natural cure than a freshly washed face that is free of oils and dirt.

Skin Care System:

For the most natural cure for recurrent acne, a skin care system such as ProActiv that treats all aspects of your skin is the best home remedy that you can use. In addition to facial cleansers, a skin care system also includes astringents, moisturizers, exfoliants, and other products that are essential for natural acne cures.

Topical Products:

A variety of topical medications is available for over the counter purchase such as Clearasil, Stridex, Biore, and many others. These products work on the pimples by penetrating to the “core” of the pimple and drying it up. These products are also formulated to the severity of the problem, with maximum strength formulas available for those who need them to evoke that natural cure.

Alcohol:

For stubborn pimples, alcohol on a cotton ball will dry up the inside core of the pimple. This may take several days to accomplish, though, and it does have one drawback: it tends to dry out the skin. It works very well, but you want to be sure you have a moisturizer for your face to counteract the effects of the alcohol.

Witch Hazel:

This product has been around for many years, and was used by our grandparents in the same way as one uses an astringent. In fact, that is all this entire product is, but its astringent properties help pull the dirt and excess oils from the skins pores so that pimples do not form, and those that do are immediately dried and cured.
