Pimples suck, but unfortunately, they are a natural part of life. They may strike with a vengeance during the teenage years, but they can afflict people of all ages.
The good thing about this beauty problem is that there is plenty you can do about it. In fact, with a few natural techniques, you can quickly get back your beautiful skin.
Here are some natural tricks to help you free your skin of pimples quickly and effectively.
1. Ice
Did you know that you can put some ice on your inflamed pimple and make it disappear? Ice works because it removes some spots' redness, making them less visible.
Ice could help alleviate some of that discomfort if the pimple was painful.
Generally, you can use ice twice a day, for instance, in the morning and the evening. If possible, you can also use ice several times a day.
Obviously, the amount of ice you need will depend on the number of pimples you are dealing with. Otherwise, a single covered ice cube will do for a single spot.
How To Use Ice To Treat Pimples
- Clean up the pimples gently using warm water.
- Wrap the ice cube and put it on the pimple for one minute. If you don't have ice, you can use frozen vegetables.
- Take off the ice cube for a couple of minutes before putting it back to avoid harming nearby tissues.
