If there is one thing we absolutely hate about nature, it would be pimples! They aren't anything extraordinary and keep making regular appearances on everybody’s faces due to various reasons, especially in the summer when it's all clammy and sweaty! Well, listen to us and don't let these silly zits ruin your holiday spirit this season. Blemishes won’t disappear magically but you could reduce them to a certain level to make sure you look presentable and here are tips to follow to get rid of those irritating pimples before an important and big night out...

1. Stop touching them

Let the pimple be, no matter what. The more your touch and itch it, it’s only going to aggravate the situation.

2. Do not burst them

There is a way to pop a pimple, but only dermatologists know how to do it the right way, so, we suggest that you avoid it completely. Bursting them leaves behind marks that do not fade easily.

3. Apply toothpaste overnight and Listerine during the day

You can put Listerine on during the day as it works just like a toothpaste but dries transparent, so you don’t have to roam around with a white blob on your face. Toothpaste’s antibacterial properties dry out a pimple and it plays a vital role in eliminating the bacteria that cause pimples. Leave toothpaste overnight and see it work its magic.

4. Apply fresh Aloe Vera Gel

Cut open an aloe vera leaf and extract the gel from it to apply on your pimple. Aloe vera gel has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties and helps to reduce redness and skin irritation. This we have tested, take our word and try it out. You have nothing to lose, it’s completely natural…

5. Conceal, and don’t let them know

Makeup is your last resort and can be your saving grace. Do not use your fingers to apply the concealer. Remove the product on the back of your hand and apply using a brush.
