There is no such thing as a quick cure. What we hear and read as quick cures is like throwing your trash underneath your carpet. In the long run you are just wasting your time and effort and making matters even worse because the real issue is not being addressed properly. Pimples are blockage in the pore caused by dead skin cells becoming glued together by sebum which isproduced by the sebaceous glands. The sebum then harbors bacteria and hence pimples are formed. There are two ways to cure this, the first of which I think is the best:
1) Naturally: Our bodies react a certain way due to what it is fed. Sodas, fried foods, and highly processed foods are the culprits. To achieve long lasting results we must start from the inside out. I'm sure we've all heard of the saying "You are what you eat", the author couldn't have been more right. Enrich your diet with whole foods; non genetically modified foods, and add more fruits, vegetables and water to your diet. Water is very important as it aids in washing out toxins. Fruits and veggies provide the body with the fuel to function properly and rebuild worn out cells. They are also detoxifiers and provide the body with the right vitamins and minerals to fight off ailments. Here are some pointers:
- Fresh juice of papaya on your face; try it and see how it works
- Garlic has been known for its antibiotic benefits, a paste of garlic on the infected area will do your skin some good
- Crushed cucumber, avocado and some pure honey is also effective.
But above all, healthy eating and a good exercise program is all you need to get you to where you want to be. I haven't had a pimple for over seven years but I also am the girl who drinks nothing but water, freshly squeezed juices and eats lots of fruits and vgetables
2) Over-the-counter medications: These include formulas that contain Benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. In severe cases you may have to seek medical advice and get prescription medication.
May I stress once more, "You become what you eat" and that is all there is to remember. Here are other suggestions:
-Drink a glass of water with freshly squeezed lemons first thing in the morning is very good for the skin. It hydrates the whole body and helps bring it to an alkaline state and the more alkaline your body gets the less you run into unnecessary skin and/or body conditions.
-Avoid heavy makeup and foundations they suffocate the skin and the more you hide and conceal using these products the worse it gets. Also remember to wash your face before you go to bed.
-Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! Drinking plenty of water is the best way to do that because when skin is dry, it forces the sebaceous glands to over produce in order to remedy the situation.
Finally remember, If you take care of your body, your body will take care of you. So be strong and choose wisely what you ingest.
