The answer to this question is simple: As soon as we cross childhood and enter the threshold of youth, different parts of our body start developing. The oil glands underneath the skin become over-active and ooze grease. This grease blocks the pores and pimples sprout. The dust particles clogging in the pores are called blackheads.

How to get rid of Pimples?

A special skin care is essential to get rid of pimples. Use of sulphur soap is effective in keeping the oil glands clean. Grease can be removed by the use of lemon juice or camphorspirit. Cleaning of day's make-up at night, before going to bed, is very important because make-up particles block the pores and prevent them from breathing freely. Steaming once a week keeps the pores open. Multani mud pack is an effective means to control pimples. Peelingoff pimples causes septic and leave permanent marks. Marks, however, can be subdued to a great extent by applying cucumber juice and rose-water mixture. Pimples can be cured by daily intake of a spoonful of honey mixed with sulphur powder.

Do not neglect pimples. Be alert as soon as they start appearing. Some people tend to take them lightly because of the old belief that appearance of pimples signifies the approach of youth and they will vanish all by themselves with time. I do not agree with these views. Though it is a matter of common knowledge that pimples appear
during the transitional years of adolescence and youth due to over-activity of glands, their appearance should not be taken lightly because these may leave their permanent marks on your face, showing your carelessness and damaging your looks.
