Healthy skin is a reflection of overall wellness".
Good morning frosh people,how are you doing and hope you managed to have a less stressful week...,any plans for the weekend?,i don't know what i will be up to yet.So i wanted to talk about another thing entirely this week,but many people asked me to talk about pimples,so here it is.
Some people don't even know what pimples mean,any tiny outbreak on their face,they think it is pimples,ever seen a small child telling the mum "mummy i have pimples" yes i have...,so let us know what pimples really are so you will stop mixing rash,infection etc with pimples..
What are pimples? .
They are normal skin conditions that affect many people,pimples mainly occur mainly on oily skins,pimples are inflammation of the skin i which the sebaceous glands(oil glands) become infected with bacteria,swell up,and are filled with pus.Pimples occur when the sebaceous glands which are located at the base of hair follicles become overactive.Pimples are over palable signs of acne especially when a breakout occurs,but try not to pop out.Everyone pops pimples there is just something satisfying in seeing those little whiteheads burst before your eyes,but there is trouble in doing that,by doing that you leave your skin susceptible to infection by all sorts of bacteria,so try as much as possible to resist the temptation.
How to get rid of pimples.
*LEMON.
Lemon can be used to get rid of pimples,it is rich in vitamin C,lemon juice helps pimples dry up faster,be sure to use fresh lemon juice and not bottled juice which has preservatives.
Dip a clean cotton pad in fresh lemon and apply it to the pimples before going to bed .
*GARLIC.
Garlic is an antiviral,anti-fungal,antiseptic and antioxidant agent that can help in the fast treatment of pimples.The sulfur in garlic also promotes quick healing of pimples.
Cut a fresh garlic clove into two pieces,rub the garlic on the affected area and leave it for five minutes before washing the skin with lukewarm water,repeat the treatment several times a day.
*HONEY.
Honey is a source of natural antibiotics that can speed up the healing process as well as help infections.
Dip a clean cotton pad in honey,put it directly on the affected area and leave it on for half an hour,wash the skin well with lukewarm water,do this few times a day.
*TOOTHPASTE.
Yeah you heard right..toothpaste!,the toothpaste we use in cleaning our teeth can also be used to treat pimples quickly,you must use white toothpaste and not gel toothpaste.
Apply some white toothpaste over the affected area before going to bed,in the morning wash your face with water and you will see the improvement in the swelling.
*EGG WHITE.
Egg whites is an age old beauty secret,the protein and vitamins in egg white helps to tighten and draw oils out of the skin which may help unclog pores and reduce inflammation.
Apply egg whites over your problem areas and leave it on for 10minutes before rinsing off with water.
*CUCUMBER.
Ever put cucumber slices over your eyes to reduce puffiness?,they also help in reducing the swelling and reducing acne,cucumbers are cooling to the skin,hydrating,and full of vitamin C.
Take a cold cucumber slice and apply it to the skin to hydrate and reduce the discomfort from acne.
Have patience,the desperate urge to find a speedy solution to acne preferably something that takes minimal effort is a strong one,in reality though,and like so many other aspects in life,one really doesn't exist .Having a regular skin care routine and adding a good natural acne remedy to it may take extra work,but trust me it pays off,just stay committed,do things right,find time out of no time to do your routine,remember nobody likes an ugly looking face,give your treatment time to have an effect.
Remember,you live in your skin and that is not going to ever change,taking the real effort to really acre for your skin will a huge difference in terms of your comfort,happiness,confidence and it will tremendously boost your self esteem.
Have a fun filled weekend,don't forget to drop your comments,stay fresh always and stay out of trouble..
See you next week..
Xoxo!
