1- Lemon Juice
Lemon juice contains vitamins B and C, citric acid, carbohydrates and a low concentration of protein. It's very effective when it comes to skin exfoliation, thus used to unclog the sweat glands which diminishes the pimples. Make a blend of lemon juice and rose water and then use a cotton ball to apply the mixture on the affected skin.
2- Garlic
Allicin, chemical compound found in garlic, is known to have antibacterial properties that can combat the bacteria of the skin surface. Additionally, garlic has considerable levels of vitamin A which boosts the immune system. Crash a few garlic cloves and apply it on the pimple then massage in circular motions.
3- Toothpaste
You can also get rid of pimples by massaging toothpaste over them. This idea lies on triclosan; one of the ingredients used in formulating toothpaste. This is an anti-bacterial ingredient that kills the bacteria on the skin. On the other hand, salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide in toothpaste can effectively reduce the redness of the pimples and accelerate the healing process. However, avoid using gel toothpaste as it can aggravate the inflammation and redness.
4- Ice Cubes
Ice can reduce the inflammation quickly. Pack a few crushed ice cubes in aluminum foil, then place the foil in a plastic bag and wrap it in a soft thin towel. Gently massage the pack over the pimples for approximately fifteen minutes. Besides reducing inflammation, doing this will unclog the pores and force the sebum from the pimples.
Pimples are unsightly and can be quite painful. Use the afore-mentioned remedies and get rid of them within a few hours.
