8 natural ways to get rid of pimples

Acne can be non-inflammatory or inflammatory. Non-inflammatory is a mild type in which whiteheads and blackheads are developed due to plugging of the skin pores. In inflammatory acne, bacterial infection of the whiteheads takes place resulting into pimples and pustules. The most common reason people suffer from acne is a lack of vital nutrients in the body which causes a hormonal imbalance. To cure acne naturally, you need to find out which nutrients your body lacks and supplements them.

1. Most people have a bedtime routine that may or may not be helping their skin. Good hygiene is important, but washing your face too often can cause dryness. If breakouts are an issue, try changing pillowcases every week, even if you don't wash your sheets that often. It's also a good idea to avoid wearing lip balm or lip gloss to bed, since it can smear and cause pimples on cheeks and chin.

2. One of the most popular and simple home remedies of acne is applying toothpaste on the affected areas before going to bed and washing it the next morning. Following this for about 15 days will cure acne without leaving scars.

3. Drinking more water can help flush your body of impurities and toxins that your body tries to store. You might also want to try coconut water as it is another highly proven natural cure for acne.

4. Get a facial. During a facial, a skin care professional will perform various procedures that deeply cleanse your skin, including extractions and pulling whiteheads and blackheads out of your skin. Facials can help to cure your acne quickly, though if you have sensitive skin it may be somewhat red and irritated afterward.

5. Try avoiding sugar, dairy, and wheat flour ? each for two weeks or so ? and see whether there's any difference in breakouts. Eat more raw fruits and veggies, which have enzymes and vitamins that improve skin tone and break down the toxins that can cause outbreaks.

6. Aloe vera is commonly used for acne and skin care. Apply aloe vera gel on pimples and acne for successful treatment of acne. You can cut an aloe vera leaf lengthwise and remove the pulp from the center avoiding the yellow juice near the leaf surface.

7. Oftentimes when we go to the doctor for an illness, we are prescribed an antibiotic. These antibiotics destroy both the good and bad bacteria in our body. Good bacteria assists our body with digestion and so many other things. When we take antibiotics, our body will not absorb the essential minerals and vitamins we eat, thus causing our bodies to have an acne breakout.

8. Whenever possible you should research and use various organic and natural skin products. Many regular skin care products we use contain harsh chemicals that may be damaging your skin more and actually causing your acne breakouts to be worse.
