To see how many OTC solutions are available today for blemishes, simply go to the drugstore or beauty shop. But not all of them can work equally well, not to mention some of them come with staggering price tags. So before you attempt to spend a fortune on one of them, read on. Below are some ideas on how to reduce pimples the natural means.
Some of the products available these days work by drying up breakouts. You can come up with a home-made version of those out of orange or lemon peel. Using your food processor, grind it and add a little amount of water to make a paste. Apply all over the face or only on the blemishes, leave on for a few minutes, then wash off with water.
The reason why it works is because the peel is acidic. It also does wonders on scars, as it has a mild bleaching property which can lighten up dark pigments. You may also use apple cider vinegar, regular vinegar or lemon juice instead on your scars. Simply apply on the trouble spots and let stay there for some minutes.
There are many reasons why breakouts occur, and one of them is the clogging of pores. This can be caused by dirt or excess skin oils. While you may purchase facial scrubs out there, they may be too harsh on your skin. It's easy to make one: combine a cup of brown sugar and a quarter of a cup of olive oil. Apply as you normally would in a gentle fashion.
To further remove excess oils, you can use a face mask. To do this, open an egg and place its white part in a bowl. Beat it with a fork or whisk until it's frothy. Apply all over your face and let it stay there for a few minutes until the mask is taut. Rinse well with water. You may also use cooked oatmeal instead, but make sure it's cooled down.
Check out your medicine cabinet for Vitamin E supplement. Using this on how to reduce pimples is simple: prick a capsule and dab the oil on problem areas. Check out your garden if you got aloe vera in there. If you do, break a leaf and apply the gel inside on your blemishes.
