NATURAL CURE FOR FACIAL ACNE POPULARLY KNOWN AS PIMPLES
Pimples are small hard inflamed spots on the skin which occur due to
the action of dirt, pollution, sweat and bacteria. They can also be
caused by consumption of oily foods; they can be hereditary or even due
to attainment of puberty and if you’ve ever had them, you’ll know that
they can constitute a nuisance on one's skin, most especially the face.
Below are 12 natural remedies for getting rid of them.
(1) Saltwater: Washing your face at least twice daily with warm salt water leaves it oil free and thus, prevents the growth of pimples.
(2) Tomatoes: Tomatoes are rich in vitamin A
which are effective in fighting pimples and healing damaged or scarred
skin. Blend the tomatoes to form a paste and apply on your face then
wash off after a few minutes.
(3) Oats: Grind oats in a blender and mix with
water to form a paste. Then apply the paste on the face as facial mask
and leave to dry for 15 minutes after which it should be washed off.
(4) Toothpaste: Apart from brushing your teeth,
toothpaste is also effective in brushing your face. Apply a small amount
on your face and allow to dry before going to bed. By the time you're
awake, the pimples would have reduced in size

(5). Baking soda: Also known as sodium
bicarbonate (Na2CO3), baking soda (and NOT baking powder) is effective
in fighting pimples. Add water to the baking soda to form a paste which

Baking soda can be bought from pharmacies but make sure to avoid making
the mixture come in contact with the eyes before, during and after use.

in lime and lemon allows them to get rid of oil and bacteria on the
face. Just rub it at night and wash off the next morning.

remedy that works for you might not work for someone else and vice-versa
and also, some results might not be immediate and would require
continuous application to get desired results.
