Sounds good and easy to find them? Of course, these are the ingredients which we mostly see and use in our day to day life. Let s also look at how do we use them to get benefited.
Lemon
Take a slick and get the juice out. Use either a clean fingertip or a neat cotton swab. Ensure you apply only on to the affected area or you may wake up with white spot where the rest of the juice was spilled. Keep it overnight and rinse with cold or lukewarm water.
Apple cider vinegar
It is a natural astringent and so dries out the pimple faster. To use, mix one part of vinegar with 3 parts of water and moist a cotton swab with this mixture and keep it on the pimple overnight. Rinse with cold/lukewarm water once you wake up.
Ice cubes
I know that it’s difficult to use this during this winter, but trust me on it as its very effective. Take out a cube from refrigerator and try and keep it on the pimple until it melts.
Tea bag
This not only help us in getting the toxins off the body when taken internally, but also use the soaked tea bag on the pimple until the heat calms down. Then wash your face.
Tomato
Apply a face pack with the tomato pulp and leave it on for 20 minutes before you wash it with cold or lukewarm water.
Cucumber
You can either keep the slices on the pimple overnight (if you can or at least for half an hour before sleep) or apply the cucumber paste mixed with a few drops of rose water for 15-20 mins and wash with cold or lukewarm water.
Aspirin
Crush a couple of tablets and mix it with water to make a paste. Apply this paste on the pimples and leave it overnight. Wash it off once you wake up.
Toothpaste
Yes that you read it correct. A natural or the white toothpaste can be applied on the pimple and left overnight to get the better results by the time you wake up. As usual, wash with cold or lukewarm water.
Sandalwood face pack
Mix it with rose water and apply to the face. Wash it off with cold water after 15-20 mins.
Benzoyl peroxide
If you can get it with a 2.5% concentration, you can apply this as well to leave it overnight before you wash it off with cold or lukewarm water.
Now, it’s time to try the available ingredient among the above mentioned ones to get rid of that swollen pimple on our clear face! Remember that these ingredients dry the skin to clear the pimple and so, please be ready to apply rose water soon or any moisturizer (if you have got a dry skin) so that the skin will remain as usual without being too dry.
Nevertheless to add, ensure plenty of water and sleep in your lifestyle which keeps you away from these pimples. I hope that you find this article to be helpful!
