Start with a gentle cleanser twice a day, use a lightweight non-comedogenic moisturizer, and apply sunscreen during the day. Ingredients such as salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide can help with pimples, but they should be introduced gradually because they can cause dryness or irritation.

I’d also avoid scrubbing, squeezing pimples, or using too many DIY remedies like lemon or toothpaste. These can irritate the skin and sometimes make the problem worse.

There are plenty of acne-care options from brands such as Minimalist, CeraVe, Cetaphil and The Derma Co. If you're shopping for skincare, Tira or Nykaa can be useful for comparing products and ingredients from different brands.

If acne is painful, severe, leaving scars, or not improving after a reasonable period of consistent care, seeing a dermatologist is a better option than continuing to experiment with products.

Add a gentle daily acne routine Make my beautician advice sound warmer.

Getting rid of acne usually takes consistency rather than overnight hacks. Washing the face gently, using sunscreen, avoiding excessive oily products, and keeping a simple skincare routine helps many people. Stress, lack of sleep, hormones, and junk food can also trigger breakouts. One common mistake is trying too many viral skincare products together, which often irritates the skin more. Drinking enough water and avoiding constant touching of the face can also help. Honestly, severe acne is better treated by a dermatologist because random internet remedies sometimes worsen the condition instead of improving it.

How can I get healthy and clear skin?

Updated on04/10/26

For a healthy and clear skin, the following tips are a must-

 Keep your skin clean by washing with a face wash at least twice a day. Often times, dust and pollution in cities can leave your skin looking dull.

 Always MOISTURIZE! I cannot stress this point enough. The key to a hydrated skin is as simple as a good old moisturizer that suits your skin type.

 Never go to bed with a face full of make-up. Invest in a good cleanser to remove make up. If you don’t want to buy an expensive product, then coconut oil is an amazing

option. Not only is it natural and helps to remove make up with ease, it also nourishes the skin specially at this time of the year.

 Occasionally, once or twice a week, make it a habit to use face masks or exfoliate your skin. You don’t need to spend tons of money on it. You could just simply use the various

things available in your kitchen. For example, Gram flour (besan) and curd can be used as a mask. It also helps to reduce tan and cools the skin while exfoliating.

 Use sunscreen whenever you step out of the house. It doesn’t matter if its grey or cloudy outside. The sun rays are still very harmful and damaging to the skin even if you can’t see them.

 Drink lots of water, at least 2 liters a day. This is the easiest most efficient way ofkeeping it hydrated and glowing.

Whether you’re a teenager or an adult, boy or a girl, each one of us at some point in our lives has dealt with acne and pimples that make us wish for better skin days. Not only are pimples very annoying, they also drastically affect how we feel about ourselves and are notoriously famous for bringing down self esteem in various people. Pimples generally occur when the oil glands in our skin produce excessive sebum that clogs pores due to hormonal changes. These when get infected can lead to inflammation and redness. There are many ways in which you can deal with pimples that include medicinal treatments and chemical peels. However not all of us have access to those measures. There are many home remedies that you can opt for instead that might help reduce the acne.

Apply ice on face. Ice can cause the pores of the skin to tighten and helps to reduce pain and inflammation.
Lemon juice is a good drying agent that helps to dry up the pimple fast.
Even your ordinary white toothpaste can act as an overnight remedy for that one odd pimple on your face that you want to get rid of quickly.
Garlic is a fantastic antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral agent. It is also very high on antioxidants. You can incorporate into your diet or use it as part of a face mask to apply on the troubled area.
Aloe vera gel is a magical product that can cure most of your skin woes like oiliness, irritation and infections. It also leaves the skin glowing and fresh.
Steaming is a great way of cleansing your pores and will give you glowing skin.
Never pop your pimples. It can lead to scarring and spread even further on your face and neck. If you feel like the condition is severe and demands attention, then please seek a dermatologist and don’t experiment with too many products if you have sensitive skin.
