Remedies for Pimples

Remedies for Pimples

We've all had the experience. It's the most important date or event of your life and you wake up to find a big pimple on your face that wasn't there when you went to bed. The blemish has appeared overnight. As far as you're concerned it's big enough to be another head, although no one else thinks much of it. It's half an hour until you have to leave, it's definitely not the time to start popping pimples! Maybe you are still in your teens and experiencing acne. Whether you have one outbreak or an ongoing problem, these six home remedies for pimples should prove helpful.

Skin Natural's 6 Remedies for Pimples

• Cleaner is better when it comes to keeping pimples at bay. Cleanse your face twice daily and be sure to regularly wash materials that come in contact with your face, like your pillowcases and towels. Also be sure to remove your makeup nightly and keep your applicators and brushes clean. This will cut down on the transference of acne causing bacteria.

• Want to know how to remove pimples? Look in your medicine cabinet. Toothpaste is a really cheap, easy and convenient way to dry out a pimple. Just dab on and let dry before rinsing off. Be sure to use the paste type, gel toothpastes won't work.

• Calamine Lotion is not exactly a natural skin care product, however many people have it on hand. It will work in a similar fashion to toothpaste for drying up a pimple.

• Zinc is an important mineral for healing and cell regeneration. Eat foods rich in zinc such as oats beans, nuts, whole grains, dairy products and pumpkin seeds, or take supplements. A daily dose of 50 mg. for a month should prove helpful. If you do notice an improvement after that time, go ahead and reduce the dosage. Of course, the natural way to get your zinc intake would be via your diet, however some people are not able to absorb full amounts of this mineral.

• Before going to bed, make a paste of three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon and apply to your pimples or problem areas. In the morning, wash the paste off with warm water. Use this method for acne treatment nightly for two weeks.

• Use the juice of fresh papaya or honey to dry the blemish and kill pimple-causing bacteria. Let sit on the affected skin area for about 20 minutes then rinse with warm water and pat dry.

Welcome to Skin Natural!

Welcome to Skin Natural!

A warm welcome to Skin Natural. Our purpose in publishing this blog is to inform you of alternative methods of caring for the largest organ of your body - your skin.

We at Skin Natural strive to make your natural skin care regime as convenient, inexpensive and easy as possible. Often times, the everyday items from your garden, fridge or cupboard can offer you the most natural skin care products of all.

The best reasons to use natural skin care methods are, of course relative and subjective but I don't think that anyone can argue the basics: there is little chance of allergic reaction, you won't have to purchase so many expensive store-bought items and your tender skin won't be subjected to so many chemicals.

Why not do yourself a favour and give some of these beauty home remedies a try. You won't be out much in time or materials. Not only that but these methods stem from centuries old wisdom handed down through the generations. I've found that sometimes they can take a little longer to work than store purchased chemical concoctions but jeez, think of the benefits to you and your skin. Natural materials win out, as far as I'm concerned.
