Pimples are something everyone deals with from time to time, but you do not have to. They result from bacteria and other debris getting into a pore and clogging it. They are essentially a hyper-localized infection, so the different remedies and treatments should be focusing on this.<\/p>\n

You need to work to both eradicate the bacteria, as well as keep the pore cleared out, to maintain clear and healthy skin. You can work toward the clear skin and treat multiple types of pimples<\/a> the minute you notice them. You can use home remedies, so there is no need for harsh products or treatments to remove blemishes from your skin.<\/p>\n
