Pimples, scientifically called acne vulgaris or acne, is one of the most common hassles that crop up at your age. Pimples affect the areas where the skin pores are enlarged due to over production of sebum. When these pores get clogged with dirt and grime, they result in blackhead, acne, and pimples. The sebum production is more because of hormonal changes during puberty. You have crossed the teenage years, and are probably at the tail end of pimple problem. Pimples normally leave behind scars that make an unpleasant sight. If neglected, the marks can turn permanent. Your intake of Aloe Vera and Vitamin C is effective enough as well. All you need to do is supplement it with some more efforts to get rid of the scars as well.

There are several natural skin care things that you can do to cure pimples as well as get rid of the scars. Just get hold of some common ingredients in the kitchen and follow skin care tips and simple procedure to utilize them. To begin with, you can do something as easy as taking garlic cloves and rubbing them on the pimples. If done regularly, it will not only cure pimples but also lighten the scars. Citrus juice found in lemon can be used in a variety of ways and is found to be very effective. You can simply use lemon peel or orange peel with water and rub it on pimples and wash it off with warm water. Or, mix juice of one lemon with rose water in equal proportion. Spread it on your face, leave it there and after about half an hour, wash it off. You can also apply lemon juice on face in the night and wash it the next morning. Regular use of these remedies will show good results. Citrus juice has a bleaching ability which helps fight pimples and get rid of scars. Applying a mix of sandalwood powder and rose water, keeping it on overnight and washing it off next morning will get rid of the scars.

You can also prepare mint juice and apply it on pimples. Else, soak cotton in rose water and dab it on the pimples. Cinnamon is also beneficial when applied on affected areas. In addition to these, avoid dirt accumulation on the face. Wash your face repeatedly and stay away from polluted surroundings. And, of course, it will work wonders if you have a balanced diet, exercise regularly and stay stress-free.
