Blemishes are marks that are left on your skin by pimples, zits and acne. They are visible marks that can range from light brown, red to black. The fun of acne clearing up is lost when one realizes the damage that the pimples leave behind. Luckily, there are ways to heal, hide and prevent the blemishes from having a long lasting impact.

Home remedies for blemishes

In order to ensure that the zits clear up faster and that they do not leave any lasting marks behind one must use calamine lotion on the zits. Apply it with a cotton ball and let it dry on your face. Do not wash it off. Doing this at night helps to heal the zits quicker.

Honey has anti bacterial properties and is known to be effective in curing zits and preventing scars and blemishes on the surface of the skin. Simply slather on honey on your skin and tie a bandage on it. After a few hours open and wash the area with warm water and an anti septic soap.

Lemon has natural bleaching properties and in order to lighten the scars on your skin you must use lemon juice on your skin. Simply soak a cotton ball with lemon juice and rub it on your skin. Keep it on till it dries up and then wash it off with cold water. This will help to get rid of the scars within a few days.

Large pimples stay on longer and they leave bigger darker scars on your skin. To reduce the size of the pimples, simply wrap ice cubes in a towel and place the towels on your face. This will help to reduce the size of the pimples and thereby effectively reduce the scars on your face as well.

Dab Aloe Vera gel on the affected area. The zits will completely vanish and the scars will be lighter.
