What are Pimples?
These are skin lesions or inflammations that occur when the sebaceous or oil glands of the skin get infected with bacteria and swells up. Pimples are also known as pustules or papule, spots and zits. The sebaceous glands that are present throughout the skin except in palms and soles secrete a waxy or oily substance called sebum. The sebum helps to maintain the oil balance of the skin and makes it look healthy. When there is any abnormality in the sebaceous gland, pimples occur.

Aloe Vera gel can be used directly on the affected area to treat pimples. It has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties and helps to reduce redness and skin irritation. Use enough aloe vera gel to mask the pimples while doing spot treatment.
11. Use Fresh Garlic:
Garlic(Lahsun) has anti-bacterial properties that help to fight acne. However, never apply the garlic without diluting it first.

- Apply it on the affected area.
- You can also have garlic to prevent pimple breakouts in the future.
12. Aspirin Method For Pimples:
Unusual but effective! I have found this pretty useful pimple fix. It works fast and does a clean job of containing eruptions.
- Crush an aspirin tablet and add a few drops of water to make a paste of it, mix well to form a paste.
- Apply the paste with a clean Q- Tip or finger.
- Let the paste dry. Aspirin is an anti-inflammatory agent, and helps reduce the swelling due to accumulated pus.
- Leave the paste overnight and wash off in the morning. The pimple is less discernible after its aspirin treatment.
13. Treating Pimple With Baking Soda Paste:
Baking Soda, king of home remedies works (Surprise!) for pimples as well. This is a zit fix I recommend to everyone since it works well on sensitive skin as well, unlike other remedies that cause patchiness or dryness.
- Add a few drops of lemon juice or water to baking soda, make a paste and apply to the pimple.
- Wash off with warm water in about five minutes and follow up with a moisturizer.
- Do not leave the paste on for more than a few minutes as it could cause skin dryness
14. Clear Acne Using Lemon:
A few drops of lemon juice works applied on a pimple. Though it causes a little itching, it helps to reduce inflammation and swelling.
- Ensure you apply only fresh lemon juice and not bottled products.
- Dip a clean swab of cotton in the juice and apply on the zit before you go to bed.
- Another remedy is to mix a teaspoon of cinnamon powder with a tablespoon of lemon juice, make a paste and apply on the pimple.
- Leave the paste overnight and wash off in the morning with warm water. I would not recommend this remedy for people with sensitive skin though. It can cause dryness, irritation and redness.
