How to Get Rid of Pimples Fast
Pimples are a normal skin condition that affect many people. Pimples are an inflammation of the skin in which the sebaceous glands (oil glands) become infected with bacteria, swell up, and fill with pus.
Excess
sebum secretion by the oil glands is the primary cause behind this
problem. Pimples generally occur on the face, neck, back and shoulders.
Though not a critical condition, pimples can make a person feel
miserable due to their appearance.
There
are a lot of lotions and medicines on the market to treat pimples but
they can take time. Many natural methods are effective in treating
pimples within a very short time period.
Here are the top 10 ways to get rid of pimples fast.
1. Ice
Ice
can be used to quickly reduce the redness, swelling and inflammation of
pimples. It helps in improving blood circulation to the affected area,
and in tightening the skin pores and removing dirt and oil accumulated on the skin. You can use ice cubes or crushed ice, whichever is convenient.
Use this Ice Remedy to Remove Your Pimples
Wrap the ice in a piece of cloth and hold it on the affected skin area for a few seconds.
Wait a few minutes and repeat the process.

2. Lemon
Another
quick way to get rid of pimples is the use of lemon juice, which is
rich in vitamin C. Lemon juice helps pimples dry up faster. Be sure to
use fresh lemon juice and not bottled juice, which has
preservatives. There are a couple of ways to apply this remedy.
Dip a clean cotton swab in fresh lemon juice and apply it to the pimples before going to bed.
You
can also mix one tablespoon of lemon juice with one teaspoon of
cinnamon powder and put it on the pimples overnight. In the morning,
wash the skin well with lukewarm water. However, this particular remedy
is not suitable for those with sensitive skin.
3. Tea Tree Oil
Tea
tree oil is excellent for treating acne and pimples. It has
antibacterial properties that help fight the bacteria that cause these
skin problems.
Plus, its soothing properties help reduce the redness and inflammation of pimples. It also helps dry out blackheads and whiteheads.
Just dip a cotton ball in tea tree essential oil and dab it on the affected area. Rinse your face after 15 to 20 minutes.
Another
option is to mix a few drops of tea tree oil in 1 tablespoon of aloe
vera gel. Apply it on your pimples and blemishes, leave it on for 20
minutes and then rinse it off.
Note: Steer clear of tea tree oil if you have sensitive skin.
4. Toothpaste
The
toothpaste that you use every morning to clean your teeth also can be
used to treat pimples quickly. It is most effective when used following
the ice remedy. You must use white toothpaste; avoid using gel
toothpaste.
Apply some white toothpaste over the affected skin area before going to bed.
In the morning, wash your face with water and you will see a significant improvement in the swelling.
If
you wish, you can repeat the process in the daytime also. Just make
sure the toothpaste remains on the pimples for at least half an hour.
5. Steam
Steaming is wonderful for your skin at any time, but particularly when you have pimples. The steam will open your pores and allow your skin to breathe. This helps get rid of oils, dirt and bacteria trapped in the pores that can cause infection or inflammation.
Fill a large container with hot water and allow the steam to come in contact with your face for a few minutes.
Rinse your face with lukewarm water and, after drying, apply an oil-free moisturizer.
6. Garlic
Garlic
is an antiviral, antifungal, antiseptic and antioxidant agent that can
help in the fast treatment of pimples. The sulfur in garlic also
promotes quick healing of pimples.
Cut a fresh garlic clove into two pieces.
Rub the garlic on the pimples and leave it for five minutes before washing the skin with lukewarm water.
Repeat the treatment several times a day.
Eating
one raw garlic clove daily can also help purify your blood. But do not
to eat too much raw garlic as it can upset the stomach.
Protein is probably the most important part of diet for bodybuilders. Yeah vegetables and carbohydrates, and “ healthy ” fats are also important but it’s protein that can decide whether you build big muscles or stay small forever. But how much protein should you be taking? Most Bro Bodybuilders don’t worry about this, they just eat as much protein as they can get their hands on, while drinking 5 protein shakes per day. It may work for them because protein will a) fill you up more than any other macro – making it difficult to overeat, and b) protein raises your metabolism more than any other macro – due to it being the most difficult for the body to break down. But aren’t there issues with overeating protein? Many people will tell you that too much protein can damage your kidneys, plus if you are following a calorie controlled diet, then wouldn’t too much protein lead to fat gain ? In this article we will attempt to answer these questions, before giving you an ...
There is a commonly held view that eating disorders are a lifestyle choice. Eating disorders are actually serious and often fatal illnesses that cause severe disturbances to a person’s eating behaviors. Obsessions with food, body weight, and shape may also signal an eating disorder. Common eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder. Signs and Symptoms Anorexia nervosa People with anorexia nervosa may see themselves as overweight, even when they are dangerously underweight.

In women, suicide is much more common in those with ...
L ook at the Government’s Eatwell Guide and you’ll see that they recommend a third of our diet is made up of starchy foods (pasta, rice, bread) and a third fruit and vegetables. That’s two thirds of your daily intake of food in the form of carbohydrates. Why, then, is there such a backlash against this essential macronutrient when it comes to weight loss? The answer comes down to the way the body deals with carbohydrates.In an ideal world, an individual will consume enough carbohydrate needed for their energy output, some storage and a healthy amount of fat, without being overweight. However, eat more carbohydrate than the body can use (as glucose in the blood stream) or store (as glycogen in the liver and muscle) and it gets converted into fat for long-term storage. In contrast, eat less carbs and your body turns to your pre-existing fat storage for energy. Hence why diets like The Atkins, Dukan, Keto and South Beach diet all rely on the principle of c...
