Home remedies for pimples abound, but the term must be clearly understood. An effective home remedy for anything can and should transcend the usual image of messy poultices whipped up from exotic vegetables in the kitchen blender. There is no limit to inventiveness on this one: potatoes, basil, garlic, vinegar, lemon and lime juice and even toothpaste have all been tried. Various levels of success have also been claimed. Basically, anything that does not involve prescription medicine or surgery and can be safely utilized without medical supervision is considered a home remedy.
To this end, there are certain domestic therapies that have proved very effective in controlling pimples. Sunbathing is one of them (a more refined version is an ultraviolet lamp, but overuse of this apparatus can result in complications, especially if certain medicines are being taken). Sunbathing is a long-term measure and must be incorporated into one’s regular schedule to be effective. Also, the affected skin must be cleansed of all topical applications such as medicinal creams and makeup before sunbathing.
Tea tree oil has recently found increased favor with certain dermatologists and can be safely used at home. Whether its use in aromatherapy is as beneficial as direct application is debatable, but topical application is now highly recommended. However, it must be borne in mind that tea tree oil causes the secretion of extra sebum, and skin must be washed scrupulously after a certain time.
There appears to be medical evidence that clove oil and fenugreek are of some actual benefit in controlling pimples. Aloe vera gel has also been found effective. However, it must not be assumed that the above substances can be used without side effects; always consult a dermatologist before using any home remedy.
