When
getting ready for a day out with friends, the sudden glimpse of a tiny ugly
round thing often gets us paranoid…I am talking about pimples-the biggest enemy
of teenagers and young adults. I am one of the victims too and out of hurry and
curiosity to cure them I have used a wide range of creams and cosmetics. But
the result was even worse as they had a lot of chemicals in them. So, I decided
to try something natural and chemical free by myself in my home. Guess what? The
tricks really worked and I was able to get rid of those ugly round things
whenever they showed their sign on my face. Now I am going to share a few of my
scaring-away pimples tricks. Here they follow:
1.
Applying Face-Pack made with a mixture of Turmeric, neem leaves and
sandalwood:
Make a paste out of these ingredients and apply to your face, leave
it till dry then wash off with plain running or better warm-water.
2.
Avoid oily things like creams and all:
The greatest reason of
pimples is oily skin so those with oily skins and those who often get pimples
on their faces avoid oils and use oil-free natural things.
3.
Avoid spicy, oily and junk food:
Pimples not only appear due to oily
skin but also due to stomach problems. So avoid junk foods and eat a diet high
in dairy ingredients.
4.
Wash your face at least twice daily:
Wash your face twice daily with
an oil-free mild natural face wash. Use warm water. Wash gently; do not scrub
the skin. Do not pop or burst the pimple. It may increase the chance of
skin-infection.
5.
Applying honey:
Dip a clean cotton swab in honey and put it directly
over the affected area and leave it on for half an hour. Then wash the skin
well with lukewarm water.
