Answer 1

 I also have had pimple problems in the past, but overcame that by using two different methods. All these method require common household off the shelf items.

The first method involves raw potato. You might have heard about the soothing effect raw potato rub provides in case of burns. This is because of its anti-inflammatory properties, which works wonder in curbing the itching caused by the pimples. This technique also supports the quick healing of the pimples and is a must try. The important point here is not to apply the potato juices for more than 4 to 5 minutes.

In case, you want a quick fix to your pimple problem, try tooth paste, which contains traces of silica, a substance which is commonly used as a desiccant – moisture absorber. Toothpaste will squeeze the fluids out of the pimple overnight, causing it to die and wither out. The precaution which should be taken in this method is to avoid using tooth pastes with sodium lauryl sulfate. It is an extremely harsh chemical which the tooth paste companies use so as to cause a bleaching effect on the teeth, thus enhancing their whiteness,

 There are many ways in which face pimples can be treated. The best method is to use natural products. These products can either be directly applied to the pimples or in the form of solution. One of the most commonly used solutions used to cure pimples quickly is made by using baking soda and water in equal proportions. You can apply this solution using a Q-Tip to your face and let it stay for about 10 minutes. After the solution dries, you can wash it with cold water. One important thing to note here is that this solution should not be applied to the skin on more than two occasions per day. It is because the baking soda can have a caustic effect on your skin.

Another useful and commonly used method comes in the form of freshly squeezed lemon juice. This juice can be directly applied to the skin. The citric acid in it kills the bacteria on the surface of the skin and help in quick healing. Care should however be taken to wash off the lemon juice quickly so that it does not bleach the skin.
