Wondering how to remove pimple blemishes? I reveal to you a handful of natural remedies and tips on how to make pimple marks on your face disappear forever.
As if you aren’t fed up with a pimple that always appears where it shouldn’t and when it shouldn’t. It has finally disappeared, but an ugly mark remained in its place as a reminder.
Do you know that you can get a pimple on any part of the body except the soles and palms? This is so because you do not have hair follicles only on those parts of the skin. A pimple always forms in the follicle. Of course, it seems to you that you are not so hairy, but the follicles are distributed all over the surface of the skin, even where you cannot see hair with the naked eye.
Is there anything more annoying than the unbearable marks that remain on your skin at the site of the pimple?
While the pimple disappears in 5-7 days at the latest, the mark that remains on the skin after it can last for weeks.
Let’s see how to remove pimple marks and how I can help you get rid of them a little faster and, if possible, prevent the formation of blemishes.
Sometimes a pimple is quite small and no one but you would even notice it. It disappears sometimes in a day, leaving behind a mark that seems to have dug into your skin, and wouldn’t go disappear for weeks or even months.
Pimple blemishes are red, purple, dark brown and each one is equally ugly. Makeup hardly covers them if you don’t have a professional one.
Not all pimples are the same and not all of them leave a persistent mark behind. On the other hand, you are not the same as others. You may be lucky that your skin regenerates quickly and the blemishes disappear even if they appear.
I have to remind you, although you already know that for sure – it’s usually your own fault that you got a stain at the site of the pimple. You touched, dug, squeezed it, I know you did because most of us do. Get rid of that ugly habit as soon as possible. The skin is already fighting inflammation at the site of the pimple, do not further harass and infect it, just disinfect it and apply some medicine against pimples.
Why Do Pimple Blemishes Appear?
The marks that remain where you had the pimple are post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Sometimes they are very bright and almost imperceptible. Sometimes, however, they are large and dark.
Your skin has its own immunity and reacts to every attack.
Sometimes this immune response of the skin is helpful, and sometimes it can lead to new problems. When inflammation occurs on the skin, the body produces the substances arachidonic acid, prostaglandins and leukotrienes. These substances accelerate and boost the functioning of melanocytes, cells that produce melanin in the epidermis. It also increases the ability to transfer melanin between cells. Now you know why you get dark pimple marks.
Medical Creams Can Help You!
For pimple marks, we recommend a pimple marks whitening cream, which you will apply in those places. These medicines contain some of the substances that have a whitening effect on the skin. These are most often azelaic and kojic acid.
Kojic acid not only whitens blemishes from pimples and other hyperpigmentation on the skin, but also has antimicrobial and antifungal effects. This means that a product based on this acid will be useful in preventing the formation of new pimples.
Serums and other blemish bleaching products do not have an effect on purple and red pimple marks. You can only whiten brown marks with them. For red and purple marks, the treatment leads to calming and treating inflammation, narrowing pores and blood vessels.
Try hydroquinone cream, it is recommended for whitening all types of hyperpigmentation, so it also works well on brown pimple marks on the face and body.
Maybe Microdermabrasion Is for You!
You can have microdermabrasion, once a month. The treatment is performed in dermatological clinics and removes the surface layer of the skin, reducing the visibility of pimples. The gel used for treatment contains AHA acids such as lactic, azelaic or glycolic acid. They help remove pimple blemishes and regenerate skin faster.
How to Remove Pimple Blemishes Naturally?
Many ladies like to do-it-themselves! If you are one of them, find out how you can get rid of pimple blemishes by yourself at your home!
Scrubbing
The safest way to get rid of pimple blemishes without going to a dermatologist’s is doing 2-3 scrubs a week.
Upon mentioning scrubbing, you usually think of rubbing your face. Why do you forget that scrubbing is useful and necessary for every part of the skin.
Dead cells remain attached all over the skin and need to be removed. They can especially accumulate on the chin and around the nose, so pay the most attention to those places. This may cause pimples on your chin and blackheads on your nose.
You will benefit a lot from scrub for blackheads and the whole body.
Your skin will be smooth, softer to the touch, will have a healthier color and will look tighter.
In addition, scrub speeds up the circulation, so the metabolism in the skin cells is faster and more efficient. The tissue receives more oxygen and nutrients, and at the same time accelerated lymphatic drainage removes toxins faster. The result is radiant skin.
Due to all the above, your skin regenerates faster after scrubbing.
Pimple marks are less noticeable because they become lighter and softer, and as you apply scrubs regularly, it removes a part of those deformed cells that made the mark at the site of the inflammatory process.
Before applying a scrub, pay attention that you do not have an active pimple in the area you want to treat, because scrubbing could spread the infection to the surrounding tissue, i.e. scatter new pimples on all sides.
You get the best scrub paste when you mix finely-ground corn flour, turmeric powder, lemon juice, milk and water.
Apply the paste on the skin, leave it on for 30 minutes and then massage in a circular motion.
If the mixture has dried, add moisture to it with wet hands. After you have rubbed well, rinse everything with lukewarm and finally with cold water.
Lactic acid from milk and lemon juice remove dead cells from the surface of the skin and brighten the complexion.
Turmeric has a preventive effect on the possible formation of new pimples, while corn flour is an ingredient that sands the skin.
After a good peeling, your skin is more open to adequately receive the healing properties of home-made, natural remedies and anti-mark creams. There will be no more of that unpleasant redness from pimples.
Aloe Vera Gel for Pimples
We really should be grateful to nature for the existence of the aloe vera plant. Aloe gel is a pure source of minerals and vitamins that naturally heal the skin. They accelerate the disappearance of pimple blemishes because they support skin regeneration. Aloe gel is gentle and does not cause additional damage and irritation. After applying aloe gel, your skin is hydrated, soft and looks healthier.
What you like most is the fact that you don’t have to limit yourself to just pimple blemishes. You simply apply the gel to the whole face or part of the body where needed and enjoy. Aloe does good to healthy skin by renewing, refreshing and nourishing it. Repeat the treatment daily, even several times a day until the scar from the pimple disappears. No matter how long you use it, it can’t hurt.
It is best to have fresh aloe or a few of them. If you don’t have it in a pot, you will find it in a pharmacy.
So, cut a fresh aloe leaf, squeeze the gel, cover the pimple scar with it and go to sleep.
If you are in a hurry and it is not time to go to bed, leave the gel to act on the pimple blemish for at least 30 minutes before you wash yourself.
Tomato
You can also apply tomato pulp on your face in the form of a mask.
The active ingredients reduce the excessive production of sebum, which is the main cause of appearance of your pimples. Tomato brightens the skin and reduces any swelling you may have at the site of persistent pimples.
Coconut Oil for Pimple Blemishes
Coconut oil is at the top of the list of healing oils. Put a quarter of a teaspoon of coconut oil on your palm and hold it until it melts. Dip your fingertips in oil and gently massage into the part of the skin where you have a pimple blemish. You don’t have to rinse it off because vitamins and essential fatty acids will work to heal your skin as long as oil is present on it.
However, if you are not comfortable that way, leave it on for at least 30 minutes before removing it from the skin with a natural cleanser.
Cucumber
It sounds like I advise you to make a salad for external use, but the truth is that cucumber is beneficial for the skin. This vegetable is not only super hydrating but also contains vitamins A and C as well as magnesium which are great for the skin.
It’s simple, just take an organic cucumber, cut a thin slice and place it on the pimple blemish.
In order not to have to lie motionless doing nothing, use a little trick. Take two small patches and attach the cucumber in the desired place. That way you can leave it to heal the pimple blemish. Equipped like this, you can do what you want undisturbed.
Cucumber can stay safely on your skin for as long as you want. If you don’t have much time, leave it on for at least half an hour.
Repeat the cucumber treatment as often as you want, maybe several times a day.
The beauty of natural home recipes is that they are safe, harmless and you can use them without restrictions.
Lemon for Pimple Blemishes
Lemon juice is a natural alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). You can use it to whiten pimple blemishes and revitalize the skin.
Just squeeze the juice of one lemon into a bowl. You can apply it to the desired places on your skin that way, but if your skin is sensitive, it is better to dilute it with water. With a cotton swab, dab the lemon juice on the places where the pimple blemishes appeared and let it dry completely.
Then wash your face with cold water and then apply some natural moisturizer. The procedure is repeated every two to three days.
For some time after the treatment, do not expose yourself to the sun because lemon juice makes the skin photosensitive.
How to Remove Red Blemishes From Pimples With the Help of Apple Cider Vinegar?
Apple cider vinegar is a natural disinfectant. It seems that there is no problem that you cannot fix with it.
It whitens the skin similar to lemon juice. Another benefit is its anti-inflammatory property so I suggest it especially if you are struggling with red pimple blemishes. Apple cider vinegar will clean your pores, so you will have less chance of getting a new pimple attack, and the ones that have just formed will disappear faster and will most likely not leave a mark.
Rich in vitamins and minerals as well as antioxidants, apple cider vinegar will help your skin regenerate faster in places where blemishes have appeared.
Always dilute apple cider vinegar for face with the same quantity of water so as not to irritate the skin with pure vinegar.
Apply with a cotton swab into the desired area and leave it on for 10 minutes for the skin to absorb well. Then rinse. Feel free to repeat the procedure once a day until you get rid of red pimple blemishes.
For red blemishes on the back, mix apple cider vinegar, water and honey. Use the swab again, apply and leave for 30 minutes. Finally use warm water and a soft towel, and that’s it.
Whether pimple blemishes are red or brown, you will not get rid of them overnight, but your skin will look better every day.
I especially like that I can apply each of these home ointments to healthy parts of the skin, because the active ingredients they contain improve the general condition of the skin on any part of the body.
You don’t have to have a pimple blemish on your face to put on some healing natural mask, do you?
Salicylic acid will help you reduce the redness, the size of the blemish and the pores at the site of the pimple.
Look for cleaners, toner, and other care products that contain it. It should reduce the risk of new pimples in adults and younger ones.
Vitamin E for Pimple Blemishes on the Face and Body
One of the most effective ways to remove blemishes is vitamin E oil. All you have to do is open the capsule and apply its contents to the pimple blemishes with your fingertips.
You can mix the oil solution of vitamin E with your usual moisturizer because it is also beneficial for healthy skin. For the whole body care, mix it in body milk or body lotion. This way you will be sure that vitamin E works daily against pimples on the chest, arms, legs or back.
Yoghurt for pimple blemishes on the feet
You can use the benefits of lactic acid from yoghurt to remove pimple blemishes on the legs as well as anywhere on the body. The ideal mask is a combination of yoghurt and cucumber juice.
Lactic acid whitens blemishes, acts as a mild chemical scrub and rejuvenates the skin.
Cucumber has already been talked about. Pour a cup of yoghurt into a blender, add half a peeled cucumber and mix. Apply a lot of the obtained mass to the skin and leave it to act until it is completely dry.
Rinse with lukewarm water and apply the body milk into which you mixed the ampoule of vitamin E.
Best for Pimple Blemishes on the Back
Unfortunately, pimples leave a blemish on any part of the body where they appeared.
Those on the back can be very big and painful. Serious blemishes remain after them.
Pimple blemishes on the back are the most difficult to remove. They can make you give up a backless dress, going swimming and spoil your intimate moments.
However, like any other part of the body, the skin on the back has this fantastic power of self-healing and regeneration. Just help it a little.
Everything mentioned until now works on all parts of the body, including the back. There is no difference.
I just want to remind you of back hygiene here. By no means do I think you are sloppy but our arms are sometimes too short to reach every part on our backs. Always have a brush or sponge with a long handle in the shower to make sure you rub that part of the body well. This way you will regularly remove dead cells from the skin surface, the skin will breathe better, the pores will close less so there will be less pimples and less blemishes.
Egg White for Pimple Blemishes on the Back
Egg white is full of protein and skin tissue is made of protein. That is why egg white is extremely healing for the skin.
Whisk the egg white and apply it on the skin in the form of a mask. You should see an improvement in a few days.
This works well overnight or before going to bed. Rinse with warm water. You can mix egg whites with something else, for example with aloe gel, why not.
Before this procedure, I always wonder how to perform it without smearing everything and without having to walk around the house without clothes.
Use your ingenuity. For example, you can soak a cotton swab well in a mixture of egg whites and aloe gel, cover a pimple blemish, put a piece of cling foil over it, a band-aid and go to bed … perfect, right?
Pimple Blemishes on Arms
With the first rays of sunshine, you first uncover your arms. Pimple blemishes are not desirable.
The procedure of their removal is the same as on any other part of the body.
Attention! Sun exposure worsens the condition of the brown pimple blemishes. They are created because of the increased production of melanin, and sunbathing will make your brown pimple blemishes on your arms more noticeable.
It is simple – your skin will get a tan, so will your blemishes with the same intensity.
If you want to get rid of pimple blemishes, do not expose yourself to the sun without a protective cream with SP factor.
Pimple blemishes form much faster than they disappear. Be patient and persistent. Don’t wait for them to disappear on their own. Change various home remedies because you can also apply them on healthy skin. Over time, your skin will become healthier, it will be less susceptible to pimples, so there will be less blemishes from them.
The time you spend on personal care is clearly visible at all times. Save it on something else and always be beautiful.
