There are a few tricks you can do that will help get rid of your facial pimples in the quickest way possible.
Some people avoid them because they don't want to look like they have a problem with their faces, but that's the worst thing you can do. Here are the top methods I use to remove whiteheads:
A natural way to get rid of pimples
A little lemon or vinegar
To help clear clogged pores, apply a little lemon juice directly to your pimple. The acid will help dissolve the oil that's holding them in. You can also use vinegar, but lemon juice smells better.
Milk of magnesia mask
You can also try using milk of magnesia, the same stuff used to treat constipation or an upset stomach, just apply it to the affected skin like a mask. Leave it to dry and then rinse it off with warm water.
Not only does milk of magnesia absorb excess oil, but the zinc it contains also helps heal pimples.
Chamomile tea for pimples
For acne-prone skin, try this antioxidant-rich toner. Brew a strong cup of chamomile tea, and allow the bag to steep for five minutes or more.
Allow the tea to cool, and mix it with an equal amount of witch hazel, which is a strong astringent that can be found in most drugstores.
Apply the toner to clean the skin with a cotton pad and rinse it off after 10 minutes. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for several weeks.
Nutmeg scrub for acne
This nutmeg milk scrub provides a double whammy for skin nourishment: the nutmeg acts as an astringent, exfoliator, and anti-inflammatory, while the lactic acid in the milk acts as an exfoliator to slough off dead skin cells.
To make the scrub, mix the nutmeg and milk until the mixture becomes a paste. After washing your face with a cleanser, massage the nutmeg scrub into your skin in gentle, circular motions. Exfoliate for 5-10 minutes, then rinse.
Honey to get rid of pimples
We love this natural remedy for skin blemishes. It's easy, effective, and cheap. Simply apply a drop of honey over the affected area and cover it with a bandage.
Honey is full of healing enzymes that kill bacteria and toxins, reduce inflammation, and moisturize the skin. So the next time your skin gets affected, just reach into your kitchen pantry for some sweet treats.
Turmeric for acne
Apply a little cream to the dirty areas and the zinc oxide in the cream will dry out the oil and kill bacteria, while the moisturizers will soften your skin. Meanwhile, it costs less than most store-bought acne treatments with the same ingredients.
Tea tree oil and toothpaste for acne
Dab the offending spot with a little tea tree oil, then cover it with a little toothpaste. Tea tree oil is a great natural remedy with proven results similar to over-the-counter acne creams, and toothpaste has an anti-inflammatory effect. Repeat thrice a day to treat persistent acne problems.
Chamomile and mint to get rid of pimples
Both chamomile and peppermint have anti-inflammatory properties, so try soaking a tea bag in water and then applying it to your acne for a few minutes a few times a day.
You can also use green tea, which is antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory. Enhance this treatment by making tea ice cubes. Chamomile, mint, and green tea work great, but you can also use hibiscus or even basil tea.
Aloe vera with lemon juice for acne
When you're in front of a mirror, acne catches your eye. A study published in the Journal of Dermatological Therapy, published in 2014, suggests that the antibacterial properties of aloe vera can help reduce bacteria.
Not to mention, aloe vera is soothing and cooling when applied to the skin, and thus can soothe redness and inflammation caused by pimples.
Here's how to use it: Mix 1 tablespoon of fresh aloe vera gel with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Apply the mixture to your face and rinse it off after 15 minutes.
Yeast and yogurt for acne
If you have oily skin and suffer from acne, then this yogurt yeast mask can give you great results. It's the perfect treatment for glowing, pimple-free skin.
Yeast is an antiseptic in nature, and when combined with the antibacterial and antifungal properties of yogurt can help reduce pimples.
Here's how to use it: Mix half a tablespoon of yogurt with half a tablespoon of instant yeast. Apply it on your face and neck and leave it for 20 minutes. Wash your face with warm water and moisturize as usual.
Apple cider vinegar and baking soda for face pimples
A study published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science reports that acetic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, and succinic acid kill acne-causing bacteria. The good news is that apple cider vinegar contains all of these things.
Here's how to use it: Mix 1 teaspoon of organic apple cider vinegar, 2 teaspoons of water, and 3 teaspoons of baking soda. Apply the mixture on the pimples, leave it for 20 minutes and wash it off.
Turmeric and honey to get rid of pimples
We all know that turmeric or haldi can give us glowing skin. But did you know that turmeric is also a great acne treatment? The polyphenols and curcumin present in haldi are great for treating inflammatory conditions like acne.
Here's how to use it: Mix ½ teaspoon of turmeric with 2 teaspoons of flour and 2 tablespoons of yogurt. Make a paste and apply it on your face, and leave it on for 10 to 12 minutes.
Egg whites for acne treatment
There are a lot of benefits to using egg white masks. They are loaded with vitamins and proteins and regulate sebum secretion thus making your skin less oily. Less oil equals less acne.
Here's how to use it: Whisk an egg white with half a teaspoon of garlic paste, apply the mixture to your face, and wash it off after 15 minutes.
finally
This method is quite easy to follow, all you need to do is apply fresh, clean lemon juice on your face and the pimple will dry out within a few days.
The power of lemon is effective in getting rid of pimples quickly and permanently. Hooray!
