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.

convenient.

minutes and repeat the process.

swelling and will immediately soothe your skin.
2. Lemon

ways to apply this remedy.

cotton swab in fresh lemon juice and apply it to the pimples before going to
bed.

make a paste by mixing one tablespoon of lemon juice with one teaspoon of
cinnamon powder and put it on the pimples overnight. In the morning, wash the

for those with sensitive skin.

for a few minutes.
