Ayurveda For Pimples And Acne!

The white gourd is very beneficial to the skin because of its high water content. It cleanses your body system within, prevents pimples and gives a smooth and beautiful skin. Take a lauki, peel off the outer skin, wash it thoroughly. Cut the lauki into small pieces and put it into the blender. Extract the juice, add a pinch of salt and drink it.

Oily skin is the result of the overproduction of sebum, an oily substance made up of fats and is secreted by the sebaceous glands situated below our skin. Oily skin is good as it keeps the skin moisturized but it also leads to dirt and impurities sticking to your skin. This causes the pores on your skin to get clogged leading to the development of acne.

Apart from giving colour and taste to Indian cuisine, this versatile ayurvedic product can also treat acne and pimples. Turmeric is both anti- fungal and anti-bacterial and prevents bacterial breakout on the skin. It also cleanses the pores thus arresting the development of acne. Make a paste with turmeric and water and apply on the face. Once dry, rinse off and pat dry.

Potatoes are notorious for their conspiracy with junk food. Almost all junk food is associated with potatoes and they are most commonly represented as deep fried and dripping with grease- the diagrammatic synonym of unhealthy. But behind that unhealthy image, a potato is still a vegetable and vegetables are healthy. Potatoes help in treating acne by fighting off bacteria. Slice a disc from a potato and rub it over the face to stop spreading bacteria.
