Pimples are formed due to sebum being accumulated under blocked skin pores. When these pimples are burst opened forcibly, they leave behind a scar, which may lighten in time or become darker depending on your skin texture. Once a scar develops it is very difficult to get rid of it, depending on the time it has been there for.
The longer the period of scarring, the longer the time for recovery, and vice versa.
However, the following home remedies would help you speed up the healing process considerably:
- When faced with the problem of pimples, the worst thing you could do is prick them. This is because pimples contain bacteria in the accumulated sebum.
The bacteria are allowed to spread to other affected parts of the skin when the pimple is broken, causing further infection. Therefore, leaving the pimple untouched is the best way to avoid scarring. If the irritation is unbearable, you could apply the following topical applications to your pimple in order to keep you from scratching your pimple affected skin.
- Honey: contains anti bacterial properties and is very soothing in nature. Applying honey topically will help soothe the affected skin, and also kill the bacteria, present on it. Wash the honey off thoroughly after 15 minutes from application.
- Yogurt: Applying unflavored yogurt also helps in soothing inflamed skin. Yogurt contains useful bacteria that helps rebuild the skin.
The above mentioned solutions are preventive measures, however if you have already scarred your skin, the following tips would help you lighten the scars:
- In order to lighten scars you will need to perform a process known as exfoliation. This process helps in shedding the upper most layer of the skin, revealing the newer layer formed beneath it. Take a lemon and slice it into half. Take half of the lemon and dip it into a bowl containing fresh yogurt. Now apply the lemon to your face that has yogurt mixed in it. This should feel like you were painting yogurt onto your skin using a slice of lemon as your paint brush. Repeat this action over all the scars you want to lighten. Allow the mixture to soak into your skin for 5 minutes. Lemon is a natural bleaching agent; yogurt contains useful bacteria that are beneficial to the skin and the sugar granules, loofa or face scrubber, help in the process of exfoliating the skin. This method should be followed up with a thorough face wash. Do not use soap for this purpose. Saffron mixed in milk can be applied to your face before bedtime for better results.
