How To Treat Pimples

Yesterday I made a post on how to get rid of pimples fast. There was a lot of information in the post including how to treat pimple scars, diet for pimples and home remedies. So it basically covered everything that was needed to clear pimples fast, but some people only want to know how to treat pimples in a short post, so I have made this for anyone who is just looking for a short but effective way to treat pimples. The routine is going to be very similar to the last with a few added steps.

Step 1

Wash the face with an oil free cleanser. What cleanser depends on your skin type. I prefer to use natural cleansers as my skin is sensitive but the choice is yours, the important thing is it cleans the pores.

Step 2

Apply honey over the skin as a mask, preferably manuka honey but not essential. After it has been 30 minutes wash off with lukewarm water. The honey will help to kill the p.acne which is the bacteria that results from acne, and it will also give you a bright complexion.

Step 3

Apply benzoyl peroxide over the pimples at night, washing off the next day. Alternatively you could use tea tree oil, just make sure to dilute it. I use 8 parts water to 1 part tea tree oil but the mixture can vary depending on how sensitive your skin is. This will help to clean oil and kill acne bacteria.

Step 4

Use a non comedogenic oil free moisturizer over the skin. This is extremely important when using benzoyl peroxide as it drys out the skin. If the skin does start to become dry even after using a moisturizer applying avocado over the skin and leaving on for 30 to 60 minutes will help to re-hydrate and moisturize the skin.

Step 5

Repeat the process every 5-7 days. Do not do this everyday as the treatments unloved will be to harsh on the skin and will aggravate acne that can then lead to breakouts.

Additional Tips For Treating Pimples:

Reduce stress - You can do this by going to a spa, yoga or practising meditation.

Drink Water - Drink 6 to 8 cups if water per day. Important for everyone but if you suffer from acne is extremely important.

Healthy Diet - Eating healthy foods will also help. The best foods include cucumber's, berries and avocados.
