Pimples and acne are a serious problem. It needs to be dealt with utmost care.
Since I have oily skin I am very prone to acne and pimples. But by following some simple rules and using some even more simple remedies I have been able to prevent them successfully(touch wood!).
Here are the basic rules that most of us already know but need to be reminded again and again
1) Never touch or press pimples and acne as it may aggravate it.
2) Drink minimum 8-10 glasses of water per day.
3) Flush your system clean.
4) Keep your face scrupulously clean.
5) Wash your face as many times as possible with clean water if you have an oily skin.
6) Follow the regime of cleansing, toning and moisturizing(c, tand m) your skin twice a day(morning and night) religiously.
7) Always do ctm at night so that your skin can breathe freely when you sleep.
Here are some home remedies that you can try
1) Apply a face pack of multani mitti(Fuller’s earth) and rose water. Leave till it dries, then steam your face and wash with clean water.
2) Dry orange peels in the sun and powder them. Use a tsp of orange powder, a tsp of gram flour(besan), a pinch of turmeric powder, a few drops of lemon juice and water to make a thick paste. you can also use milk instead of water for better results. Use this paste to wash your face daily.
3)Rub orange peels on face to discourage pimples.
4) Rub pomelo(mosumbi/sweet lemon) peels on your face to get rid of blackheads.
5) Mix equal parts of cucumber juice and rosewater. Add to this a few drops of lemon juice and glycerine. Apply on face and neck and leave for 15 mins. wash of with ordinary tap water. This face pack not only discourages pimples but also acts as a bleaching agent on oily faces with look rather sallow due to thier oily appearances.
Try these simple remedies and discover the change as I did. Also remember if you decide to use any of these remedies stick to it. don’t give up after a day or two, since these miracles take time to occur. have patience, they will surely work.
