Tips to Keep Pimples Away Forever

  • Never touch your pimples. Continuous touching can spread the bacteria on your face and cause pimples elsewhere.
  • Change the sheets of your bed and pillow regularly. At times, bacteria present on your pillow cover can lead to pimples.
  • Have a lukewarm water bath. Never bathe with piping hot water as it removes the essential oils from your skin. After a bath, pat your skin dry.Never rub it harshly with a towel as you’ll only strip away essential skin cells and make it even drier and prone to infections.
  • Remember, you should never share make up. You never know whose infection might ruin your skin.
  • Drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water daily; this helps in flushing out the toxins in your body that cause pimples and other skin problems.

Home remedies to get soft and pink lips

  • Use a good lip balm with an SPF as this will help to protect your lips. Keep in mind that the skin on your lips is extremely thin and delicate and therefore it can darken very easily as compared to the rest of your face.
  • Apply coconut oil to your lips before you go to bed. Coconut oil is rich in antioxidants and also offers a modest amount of protection from the sun.
  • You can also apply Milk cream on your lips before going to bed.
  • You can use Sugar as a scrub and scrub the lip with the same once a week to help slough off the upper layer of dead skin cells which can cause your lips to look darker in color.
  • Alternatively you can use mixture of grinded nuts and fresh tomato juice also as a scrub.
  • You can also make a lip scrub out of honey and gram flour.
  • Quit smoking / limit smoking as it is one of the main cause of black lips.
  • Stop chewing, biting or pricking the skin of the lips.
  • Apply a drop of mustard oil in the navel before going to bed to prevent blackness of the lips.
