Pimples! You may have heard this word or you may have experienced these pimples, right? If you are reading this article which means you have experienced these pimples in your life, but don’t worry, here you can find enough methods to prevent or cure pimples naturally.

 

Before getting into the remedies section, ask a question to yourself “What is Pimple?”

Pimples are also called Acne, they are produced due to the overactive of the skin’s oil glands(sebum) and buildup of bacteria contribute to pimples.

Pimples usually look somewhat red, tender bumps with white pus at their tips.

 

Pimples can appear anywhere on the skin but they usually appear on face because the face has the largest number of functional oil glands.

 

There is no single straightforward way to prevent pimples permanently but there are some remedies in which you can reduce their effect and severity. Here are some of them:

 

1. Wash your face twice a day to keep pimple away

 

Yeah, you heard it right. Washing your face can remove dirt, bacteria and other substances from your face and reduces the chances of pimples.

But don’t wash your face more than two times a day because it can make your face look worse than before.

Points to remember while washing your face:

Use mild face wash or cleansers(alcohol-free)

First, make your face wet with warm water(not too hot) and slowly apply the cleanser to your face in a circular motion(not too harsh)

Rinse your face with water and let it dry (don't rub your face hard with cloth)

 

2. Use Moisturizers to keep skin hydrated

 

After washing your face with the cleanser, apply moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated. But don’t use the moisturizers which contain oils, fragrances and other chemicals which cause irritation to your skin and there are a lot of chances of causing pimples.

 

Use the fragrance-free moisturizers and that is formulated so as not to cause blocked pores(non-comedogenic).

 

3. Always Stay Hydrated

 

If you’re dehydrated, your skin’s oil glands release more oil and it causes pimples when it is reacted with bacteria. If you’re hydrated, it not only causes pimples but makes your face appear dull and dry. Drink at least 4-5 liters per day to get hydrated.

 

4. Keep your hands away from your face

 

We do many things or works with our hands throughout the day and our hands contain some impurities or bacteria which block the pores when you touch your skin( impurities transferred to the skin).

So don’t touch your face frequently and wash your hands before touching your face. This can prevent the cause of pimples.

 

5. Use treatment to Prevent Pimples

 

Use ordinary retail purchases, with no need for a prescription or license (over the counter). Most of them contain either benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or sulfur which helps to prevent pimples very easily.

To help prevent side effects such as redness, irritation, and dryness, precisely follow the manufacturer’s usage instructions.

 

6.Know your skin type

 

Usually, pimples are caused to all types of skin due to the overproduction of the skin’s oil glands. Most pimples are caused to those skins which are too oily. But there is another type of skin that may cause pimples is combination skin(dry and oily skin).

Knowing your skin type will guide you to choose the right cosmetics products to cure pimples. If your skin is producing more oil then you should use products which are fragrance-free and non-comedogenic products as we discussed before.

 

7. Don’t POP your Pimple:

 

Popping pimples may look tempting but don’t squeeze it because it can leave scars on your skin where you have popped pimple. Popping pimples may cause bleeding, severe scarring, or infection. It may also increase inflammation and clog surrounding pores, making your pimple problem worse.

 

8. Avoid Certain types of foods

 

You should put a break to your eating habits to prevent pimples. Eating foods like chips, baked food which contains white flour, junk food, and high glycemic diet foods can cause pimples.

 

Even eating dairy products can also cause pimples. So try to avoid these kinds of food and eat the food which contains a lot of proteins, fiber and rich in vitamins like fruits and fresh vegetables. And also consume large quantities of water to prevent pimples.

 

 

9. Put A MakeUp Limit

 

Some people use makeup to cover their pimples, but they don’t know that it makes the pimples worse and it clogs pores.

So, it is better not to use makeup products that contain oil, grease, and other types of chemicals which can cause pimples.

Always use the products which are oil-free, fragrance-free and non-comedogenic products.

 

10.Limit Sunlight for your skin

 

If you are standing under the sun for a long time, it dries your skin in a short time and when your skin is dry there are numerous chances to produce more oil on your skin. And the final result will be pimples on your face.

 

So use sunscreen to reduce the effect when you go out. Many sunscreens contain oil, grease substances in it. Use oil-free, non-comedogenic and fragrance-free sunscreens for a better result.

 

11.Use Antibiotics

 

Antibiotics are medications used to fight infections caused by bacteria. They're also called antibacterials.

Using Antibiotics can reduce inflammation and bacteria. But antibiotics are often prescribed. If any professional recommends you to take antibiotics, make sure you talk to them about risks and side effects.

 

12. Use Tea Tree Oil

 

Tea tree oil is most popular for treating skin issues like acne and acne scars.

Since tea tree has antibacterial and antifungal properties which kills acne-causing bacteria and makes your skin clear.

A face mask of lemon juice, honey, and tea tree oil is just what you need to get rid of acne.

Tea tree oil helps to balance the sebum production of your skin which reduces the cause of pimples.

 

13. Stop using your Dirty pillow cover

 

Do you know that pimples are even caused by your pillow cover?

Yes, your pillow cover contains dirt, bacteria, and oil which transfers to your skin when you sleep and it leads to pimples.

So, wash your pillow cover for every three days or use a new pillow cover and this will reduce the cause of pimples at some extent.

 

14. Reduce stress can cure pimples

 

Last but not least, removing stress in your life can help you to get rid of pimples naturally.

Do you know that stress does not cause pimples but it makes them worse?

When you’re stressed your skin’s oil glands produce more oil and make your pimples worse and it increases inflammation.

 

Some of the ways to reduce stress:

●     Exercise everyday

●     Practicing yoga

●     Laughing more enough

●     Spend time with your loved ones
