Though pimples are normal, many of us still find this quite irritating.  This simple problem, when not treated well, could lead to acne.  Below are simple home remedies that are easy to follow and help you with your pimple problem. 

It is high time for you to make more ice cubes in the freezer if you have pimples. According to Everyday Roots, ice can be used to reduce the swelling, inflammation and redness of the pimples.  Ice also improves the blood circulation of the affected parts.  It tightens the skin pores and removes the dirt and excess oil that have accumulated on your face.  Just wrap the ice in a small piece of cloth and massage it on the infected area of your face for a minute or two.   Repeat the process for at least 5 times.

Aloe Vera Gel, aside from being very good on the scalp and hair, is also really wonderful to treat pimples.  Get some aloe vera gel from the plant itself, make sure that it is enough to cover the problem areas.  Wash your face clean and dry it with a towel.  Apply the aloe gel directly on the problem areas of the face.  Leave it on the face for 5 to 10 minutes then wash your face clean again.  The anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties of aloe vera are great natural treatment for pimples and even for rashes. 

Surprisingly, fresh lemon juice is not only good source for vitamin c and other antioxidants, but this is also excellent in fighting off pimples on your face.  Here's a simple way to use lemon, as suggested by Top 10 Home Remedies online magazine:

 Have at least 2 table spoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice and get some cinnamon powder.  Mix the cinnamon powder and the lemon juice.  With a clean cotton, apply the mixture onto your face.  Leave it overnight.  Make sure to use warm water to wash your face in the morning.  Leaving the said mixture overnight is not good for those with sensitive skin, an hour of having the lemon-cinnamon mixture on the face is good enough for those with sensitive skin.
