Cure pimple using tea tree oil and aloe vera gel
Pimples are a very common skin condition that are usually seen around adolescence and disappears in the early twenties. They are caused when a skin’s oil gland (sebaceous gland) is infected. This reason is due to the natural function of our skin. Each day, healthy skin sheds dead skin cells to make way for newer cells. Unfortunately, some of these dead cells can block an oil gland, which causes a buildup of sebum (oil) and leads to an infection inside the gland. This situation becomes worse during puberty, when the skin cells get thicker. When the infection is pushed out onto the skin’s surface, you see a pimple. In your case, you appear to have a naturally oily skin. This means you have excess sebum, which can only make matters worse.
Luckily, there are steps you can take to reduce the chances of developing additional pimples. The simplest thing to do is cleanse your face at least twice a day with a mild solution of salicylic acid. This helps to remove the dead skin cells and the excess oil being secreted by your skin. Please avoid harsh cleansing agents as they can irritate the skin and cause additional pimples. You can also try over-the-counter products containing benzoyl peroxide, which has antibacterial properties that can help prevent an infection from occurring. If you prefer natural treatments, try a 5% solution of tea tree oil, which can show you similar results. Some people have also reported benefits from aloe vera gel. This is best applied only after a pimple has burst, since it helps to speed up the healing process. Aloe vera can also help you avoid small scars and dark spots that sometimes appear after pimples burst.
Finally, make some changes to your day-to-day lifestyle to reduce the risk of pimples. Take a shower as soon as possible after any exercise or strenuous activity. This will help prevent any built up of excessive oil on the skin’s surface. Also avoid using oily cosmetics or applying make-up that blocks your pores. Stress is also an important factor in causing pimples in some people. Keep some time during the day to simply rest and relax. Many people believe that certain foods, such as chocolate or fried and fatty foods, lead to acne. Try and keep a diary to see if this may be true in your case. Finally, drink lots of water to keep yourself cool and hydrated.
