It is not uncommon to see acne leaving red or black pockmarks on the face. Though the acne itself may vanish in as short a time as 2 weeks, the marks left behind may stay for years, making them near permanent. The creams used to fight acne prove helpless in eradicating those marks. Unless you want to go in for expensive procedures such as skin resurfacing, the only alternative seems to be just accepting them.
That is not all of it though. There are a number of herbal remedies that when followed religiously, successfully remove pimple marks, or at least pale the discoloration caused by pimple marks to a huge extent. Almond oil works as an excellent antidote to pimple marks. It is rich in vitamin E, one of the most beneficial vitamins for your skin. Before sleeping, wash your husband's face thoroughly with a gentle face wash. Apply almond oil all over the face, especially on the pimple marks, by gently massaging with your fingertips. Ask him to leave it overnight and wash it off in the morning. Also supplement his diet with almonds and almond oil. This treatment is known to produce visible results within weeks. Another excellent home remedy is the use of honey. To administer this, mix one teaspoon of honey with half a teaspoon each of camphor lotion and tomato juice. Apply this mixture directly on the marks left by the pimples on your husband's face and leave it on for at least half an hour. After this, rinse it off with lukewarm water followed by a wash using cold water. This treatment is extremely effective in completely removing those unwanted pimple marks.
A paste of lemon or orange peels too can prove effective. Grind the peels with water to form a thick paste and apply gently over the marks. This application tends to at least lighten the dark spots over time. Another remedy you could try out is asking him to rub garlic on to the marks several times a day. Garlic too is excellent for the skin, although it can leave a pungent smell. Also, select skin care products with care. Ask him to avoid washing his face with ordinary soap. Go for a gentle, herbal cleanser instead. Make sure he avoids excessive consumption of fried foods rich in oil, confectionary, alcohol, tea and coffee. His diet should include a lot of fresh fruits, vegetables and nuts. These steps, if religiously followed, will go a long way in eradicating those seemingly permanent pimple marks.
