Home remedies for curing pimples?

Not really: There are no home remedies for treating acne, but eating a healthy diet, being happy, and living a low-stress lifestyle may help. Washing the face 2-3 times a day is fine, but over-scrubbing and irritating the skin makes acne worse. Over-the-counter Benzoyl Peroxide Gel can help. A doctor can prescribe medicines and look for other medical problems if acne is a lot, or if obesity is also present.

With many good: Over-the counter products, like benzoyl peroxide gel, there's no need to concoct anything yourself. Keep your face clean. Don't pick. Benzoyl peroxide to the active areas. Add in a salicylic wash....If these simple things don't work - go see a dermatologist.
