How to Cure Pimples the Alternative way

In fighting pimples, you don’t always have to resort to drugs or visits to the dermatologist. Did you know that there are certain alternative treatments you can use to cure pimples?

These treatments are completely safe and are often not as expensive as mainstream pimple medication. Here are some of the options you might want to consider:

1) Mask – there are various substances which have long been known for their property to help clear skin up. In spas, they can mix these substances up into a sort of paste or mud and then apply it onto your face as a mask.

This can definitely help you cure pimples. Some mixtures are made to draw out the dirt and bacteria that cause pimples, others get rid of accumulated oils and dead skin cells and still others are made to help protect pores. In using a mask, you need to pick which mixture to use carefully by guessing the root causes of your pimple.

2) Cupping – in this ancient Chinese practice, a vacuum cup is placed over various areas for the purpose of drawing out impurities and toxins from the skin. This is a great treatment for pimple-prone skin, as it stimulates the glands to flush out any accumulated dirt and prevent the formation of pimples.

3) Special wash/bath – this method to cure pimples has been in use for a long, long time. In this treatment, sulfur or some herbs are added to bath/wash water in order to make them more effective in treating pimples.

Usually, the water needs to be hot. There are actually two ways that this method works: The heat kills the bacteria that cause pimples and the chemicals act to further disinfect the skin and make it less susceptible to breakouts.

Soaking in a hot tub can also do wonders for pimples- and it’s not just about the direct effect on skin. Relaxation can help balance out your hormones and make your skin clearer and smoother.

4) Herbal treatments – there are various substances derived from plants which have shown great ability to cure pimples. One such substance is tea tree oil, which works just as well as benzoyl peroxide –the active ingredient in most anti-pimple creams today.

Another plant commonly used is Aloe Vera, which has been mentioned in the ancient Hindu text, Ayurveda, as a great cure for pimples.
