Baking Soda and Water
When mixed together forming paste, baking soda and water are excellent for drying out newly formed pimples.

Salt and Vinegar Paste
Another combination that stops acne is salt and vinegar paste applied to the skin every night. Carefully remove after leaving it there for thirty minutes.
Warm and cold water treatment
Do you know that cold water can close pores while warm ones can open them up? The theory is that by washing your face with warm water first; the pores are allowed to loosen, making it easier to remove dirt through facial cleansers. Once the dirt is removed, the face is then washed with cold water to close the pores and prevent the intrusion of other bacteria on the surface of the skin.

Cleansers and Creams
What causes pimples are excess oils and dirt on the skin which are basically the main targets of cleansers and creams. Unlike most home remedies which aim to get rid of pimples by drying them out, various facial scrubs are honed into removing the dirt and allowing the pores to breathe out. However, if you’ve decided to go for cleansers, then look for the ingredient salicylic acid. Currently the best know skin cleansing material, it is even better than benzoyl peroxide which until recently has been the most widely used cleanser ingredient.
Oral Treatments
Dermatologists can also help you by prescribing pills that manage pimples. Some of them are actually very effective. On the downside, some people have noticed that stopping the treatment usually leads to a more severe case of pimple breakout.
