Beauty Tips For Pimples

Much as you may have heard that pimple is just a sign of your ‘developing youth’ and will leave you almost as soon as you’ve left your teenage years behind, in reality, pimples can come up almost at any age, much to your disappointment and terror. Internationally renowned beautician, Shahnaz Husain shares some of her beauty tips that can help you get rid of pimples and pimple marks right at home.

1. Rose Water

Wash your face twice a day using a medicated soap. Pimples usually occur in areas that are oily, so it’s important you use a special medicated soap that will help keep the oil glands in check. Once you have wash your face, take some rose water and mix it with an astringent in equal amounts. Apply this all over the washed parts of your face. Do this two to three times a day.

2. Do not Apply besan or multani mitti

If you are experiencing pimples, avoid using or applying besan or multani mitti. These can sometimes lead to clogging of pores that can further cause pimples.

3. Turmeric and curd

Mix some turmeric and curd to form a paste and apply this daily on your face. Keep it on for about 15 to 20 minutes and wash off.

4. Sandalwood paste and rose water

Add a few drops of rose water to some sandalwood paste and apply this on the forehead and other affected areas where there are pimples or pimple marks. Keep this paste on for at least an hour, before washing off.

5. Glycerine and rose water

If you already have oily skin, applying cold cream, especially in winters, will lead to further pimples. Instead of your cold cream, take one part of pure undiluted glycerine and mix it with four parts of rose water. Store this in a bottle and keep this in the fridge. Apply this mixture on your face each time you wash. Just before applying it, add a few drops of lemon juice to the mixture to lighten any pimple spots.

6. Curd

Take some curd and mix it with a bit of turmeric to form a paste. Apply this daily on your face. Keep on for 15 to 20 minutes and wash off with water.

7. Neem leaves

Take a handful of neem leaves and simmer them in water for some time till the water slightly changes colour. Let it cool down. Strain the water and use it to wash your face. You can also use cotton balls to dab the water and apply over affected area.

8. Cucumber juice

To clean oily or combination skin, mix two teaspoons of cucumber juice with milk and lemon juice. Take a cotton pad and dipping it in the mix, dab across your skin and wipe gently.
