     Truth be told, whether we are at work, church, school, events or any form of social gathering, we always want to look good and that includes having a clean and clear facial skin. But what happens when your face is covered with pimples, you obviously would want to get a solution to it and this is what this article focuses on. How to get rid of pimples.

     

What are pimples?

     

     Pimples are swellings on the skin(mostly on the face) that are caused by dead skin cells and sebum getting clogged in the tiny openings(also known as pors) on the skin.        

     When we shed our skins as humans, dead skin cells and sebum usually remain behind and when these two come together, they tend to block the tiny openings on the skin which in turn cause pimples.


Causes of pimples


     As mentioned already in this article, pimples are caused by the blockage of the tiny openings on the skin by dead skin cells and sebum. However, while this is seen as the major cause of pimple, there are other factors that contribute to the formation of pimples on the skin. Some of them include anxiety and stress, family(with history of pimples), health conditions, body creams, hair creams, hormone levels fluctuation and not to mention but a few.


How to get rid of pimples 


     There are different ways of getting rid of pimples on the skin. Some of them include 


1. Use of essential oils

     There are certain essential oils that perform anti-inflammatory functions on the skin. Since pimples do come with inflammations or swellings, these essential oils(with anti-inflammatory functions) can be used to get rid of them.


2. Use of green tea

     Aside from being beneficial for internal use, green tea can also come in handy when used on the skin. It contains tannins and flavonoids which perform anti-inflammatory functions and can be used to get rid of pimples.

     If you don't like the idea of rubbing green tea directly on your skin, you can try using body creams that contain green tea.  


3. Aloe Vera extract

     The gel from Aloe Vera plant is also a very good anti-inflammatory product. Aside from pimples, Aloe Vera extract can also be used to treat other skin complications like rashes, psoriasis, burns, e.t.c.  


4. Use of hot compress

     You can get rid of pimples by soaking a piece of cloth or a towel in hot water and applying it on your face for some minutes. You can do this for about 3 to 5 days to get maximum result.  


5. Topical antibiotics

     This works just like green tea, essential oils and Aloe Vera extract. They perform anti-inflammatory functions and can help get rid of pimples.



Conclusion


     In conclusion, pimples should not be see as a life threatening or very serious skin disease. It is caused by the clogging of dead skin cells or sebum and can be gotten rid of with the use of Aloe Vera extract, essential oils, green tea, topical antibiotics, hot compress and not to mention but a few.
