Q) How to get rid of acne and pesky pimples with simple home remedies?

A) Pimples or acne are caused when pores of the sebum (skin oil) producing skin glands get clogged and thus the sebum cannot escape. They are triggered by a number of factors including hormonal changes, stress, sweating, excessive humidity and the use of steroids.

No matter what the cause, pimples are always a reason for worry for almost everyone. While it is a good idea to consult a dermatologist if you are prone to acne, you may try these home remedies to help you get rid of them:

1 . Methi powder

Methi seeds can cure pimples. Mix Methi seed powder with water to make a thick paste and apply the paste onto the pimples. This is an effective way to get rid of pimples and pimple marks.

2 . Honey for acne

Honey’s antibiotic properties can help improve acne. Apply a teaspoon to affected areas, or make a mask by mixing 1/2 cup of honey with 1 cup of plain oatmeal and leave it on for 30 minutes. You could also make a paste of cinnamon, turmeric and honey, apply it for 10 minutes and then rinse off. Using honey for pimples is an easy way to treat them.

3 . Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera gel is a skin soothing and purifying agent that can treat pimples quickly. Prepare some fresh Aloe Vera pulp from an Aloe Vera leaf and apply it directly onto the pimples and leave it on. Wash it after it dries up completely.

4 . Raw papaya

Papaya is rich in anti-oxidants and enzymes, which are believed to work on the bacteria causing the pimple. Use a freshly prepared paste of raw papaya on the affected area. Leave it for 10-15 minutes and rinse off.

5 . Baking Soda

Baking soda is packed with anti-fungal and anti-septic properties. Mix 1 tsp of baking soda with few drops of water to make a thick paste. Apply this paste directly onto the pimples. Wash off with normal water after 5 minutes.

6 . Toothpaste

Toothpaste can be used as an effective home remedy to get rid of pimples. Apply a small drop of toothpaste onto the pimple before going to the bed and wash it off with cold water in the morning. This is the best method to get rid of pimples instantly. Do not use gel based tooth paste.

7 . Steam

You could steam your face. Warm steam has the ability to soften the skin, along with dead skin cells, left-behind cosmetics, oil and bacteria that plug pores. This bacteria, dirt and oils trapped in the skin pores can be removed by lightly scrubbing the face after steaming.
