Pimple home treatment 

Acne, or pimples is a common skin disease that affects the skin's oil glands and results in a skin rash. It usually affects the face, neck, back, chest and shoulders and is caused by inflammation of skin, hormonal imbalance, dandruff, bad dietary practices or even stress and lack of sleep. To prevent eruption of ugly pimples on the face and elsewhere on the body, ensure that you have a balanced diet rich with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and drink 6 to 8 glasses of water daily to keep your system clean.


Avoid spicy and oily foods, sugar, caffeine, tobacco and alcohol.  

There are several excellent home remedies for pimples – wipe your face every morning with a cotton ball soaked in vinegar to thoroughly clean your skin and rid it of any toxins. If the vinegar stings too much, lemon juice or apple cider vinegar works just as well. You could also apply a mixture of lemon juice and rose water on the face and wash it off after 15 minutes. This not only cleanses the skin and prevents acne but leaves it fresh and glowing. You could apply a face pack made with sandalwood powder, margosa powder and rose water on your face to get rid of the acne. Leave it on overnight for best results. Another excellent face pack can be made with cooked oatmeal, which helps to dry the acne.
