The Pimple Story - Home remedy

Praying for a spotless acne-free face? If yes? Hi5 girl! you aren't the one. 

As we grow up,our hormones are constantly working to make us more feminine but this boon comes with the worst nightmare, The Pimple Attack!

I've been suffering with acne ever since I was in 7th Grade, I'm 21 years old now and it doesn't seem to stop. 9 years of my life have passed and not a single day has gone by as a CLEAR SKIN DAY. 

I've visited many doctors, but the ointments prescribed would not just dry out the pimple, also leave my skin extremely dry, rough and patchy. None of the ointments were a perfect cure as they wouldn't prevent future breakouts. Disappointing :(  

Acne is mainly a result of :

• Change in hormone levels: For example, during periods my pimples are larger and painful
• Improper functioning of internal organs: Your face is the window to your health.( I will do the face mapping of pimples in the next post)
• What you eat?: In my case intake of coffee and spicy or oily stuff exaggerates my acne three folds. 
• How your day to day schedule goes?: For example, if you have stressful schedules, lack of sleep etc. 
• How you take care of your face?: Cleanse, tone, and moisturize sincerely and according to your skin type. 
• Or, what products you apply on your face: Not all brands give you desired results. it is important to figure out the right product for your skin.

Lately, I have started trying a home remedy which I saw on YouTube in Himani Wright's channel and it has been doing wonders in controlling my acne . The things you need are all available in your kitchen. 

Acne remedy

You need:

1/4th tsp turmeric powder: It has anti-bacterial, anti-septic and anti-inflammatory properties. It cleanses clogged up pores and reduces acne.

3 tbsp chic pea flour (besan): it is a great skin exfoliator and deep cleanser  

1 and 1/2 tbsp yogurt: corrects the pH balance of the skin

10 drops of lemon juice

Mix all of these together to make a thick paste then apply and massage it on your face, then wash it off and pat-dry. Use it twice everyday 

To get rid of acne scars apply aloe-Vera gel on your face post the above remedy, leave it for 20 mins then wash it off. 

These are extremely simple very very effective on acne and its scars. It also evens up the skin tone. Include these practices in your daily routine and you will see great results

PS: Having pimples is okay, my friends say that I look cute with them and I don't doubt that. Nobody is perfect, accepting your imperfections is what makes you BEAUTIFUL.
