Cure for Pimples

how can i cure pimples?
(25 May 2009)

A pimple is the name given to an acne lesion. It is not uncommon to have a pimple pop up once in a while especially if you are an adolescent. This is also not uncommon in young adults and adults and the regularity with which you will experience pimples gradually diminishes as you get older.


If, on the other hand, you have several pimples that pop up regularly, you suffer from acne and this is an acne outbreak. You will have to follow a strict skin care program to keep this condition under control.

Your skin contains glands that secrete a natural oil called sebum. Dead skin cells within these pores sometimes form a blockage and o the sebum cannot escape. This leads to an inflammation within the skin pore. In acne cases, bacteria that are naturally present within the pores multiply rapidly and cause an infection. Acne is most common among adolescents due to increased hormonal activity which causes faster skin shedding and hyperactive glands that produce larger amounts of sebum.   

You will need to use a cream or a face wash that contains benzoyl peroxide. Benzoyl peroxide helps to dissolve the blockage of sebum and dead skin cells and thus unclog the blocked pores. In addition to this it is also very effective in killing the bacteria that causes the inflammation. Use this cream regularly to eliminate as well as prevent acne outbreaks. Unfortunately benzoyl peroxide also causes excessive drying. Your skin may become very dry and itchy as a result of this treatment. Excessively dry skin is prone to dry skin infections.  It is therefore very important that you keep your skin moisturized to prevent peeling.

Follow a regular skin care regimen that includes the use of a benzoyl peroxide cream or face wash. If you use only the cream, do not use a cosmetic face wash as this can dry out your skin even further. Mix lemon juice, honey and a pinch of turmeric powder and massage your face with this mixture. This is an effective cleanser that will help to revitalize your skin. If you find that your face is excessively dry you can add a spoon of full-fat milk to your face wash. In addition to this, a moisturizer is an essential part of your skin care routine. Mix a few drops of jojoba oil, olive oil and coconut oil. Pour this blend of oils into a bottle and add about twice the quantity of distilled water to it. Shake the bottle well and use the oil-water combination to moisturize your face.
