Having red, painful and swollen pimples on your face is definitely not a wonderful experience to go through. Any person who is being tormented by these unwanted visitors will vouch for that. So get ready to know about simple tips on how to reduce pimples in an easy and trouble free manner.

Tip #1 - Wash your face:

Well, though this tip does seem to be too simple, yet it is an effective way solution to get rid of pimples. Dirt, grime and sweat can aggravate pimples, so keep your facial skin clean by washing your face with lukewarm water and a mild cleanser. Use only those skin care products that are specifically designed to deal with pimples

Tip #2 - Use aspirin to heal pimples:

Aspirin is a fine anti-inflammatory medication and will act quite effectively if used topically on inflamed pimples. You would have to crush an aspirin tablet (that is preferably uncoated) and add a few drops of water to this powder to create an aspirin paste. Cover each of your pimples with this paste and leave it for 15-20 minutes. Wash your face with lukewarm water and a mild cleanser to complete the aspirin therapy.

Tip #3 - How to reduce redness:

The red and angry look of a pimple can be effectively managed with a simple thing like an ice cube. Apply an ice cube on the red pimple and hold on to it as long as you can manage to do it comfortably. Ensure that you take tiny breaks in between the ice cube applications, so as to prevent numbness and tingling over the area.

Tip #4 - Use hemorrhoid cream to reduce pimple redness:

Hemorrhoid cream can reduce the swelling and remove the redness of pimples if applied locally. The action of this cream is to reduce or constrict the blood flow on the applied part. Redness and swelling of a pimple is due to the extra flow of blood towards the inflamed spot and using a hemorrhoid cream is perfect to combat the problems of extra blood flow and resultant redness and swelling.

Tip #5 – Manage your life style and personal care:

Diet can play a very important part in causing and aggravating pimples; so eat a healthy diet and keep away from too oily and greasy foods. Drinking adequate amounts of water; at least 8-12 glasses in a day will ensure a healthy and glowing skin that is free from pimples and acne.

Many people suffer from pimples due to an allergy towards their cosmetics. Use safe and good quality cosmetics and make sure that you never ever sleep with your make-up on as it can block your facial pores and cause pimples.

The 5 tips explained here are not only quite effective, but are extremely simple and easy to do. So now you know that following a healthy lifestyle and using every day items like an ice-cube or an aspirin tablet are the best tools to deal with pimples and their discomfort.
