7 Easy Home Remedies to Get Rid of Pimples Overnight

You wake up and see that bump on your face, and your whole day is ruined. Pimples have managed to ruin numerous special days for men and women alike, everywhere! And no matter what you do, there is no stopping them. 

But why do we get pimples?

Pimples occur when the oil glands of the skin are infected by bacteria. Also known as the Sebaceous gland, an abnormality in these will result in a pimple break out. 

The triggers for those abnormalities or infections differ from person to person. For some people, it’s the oiliness of their skin attracting the dust and filling up the oil glands with them. For some people it’s an allergic reaction to certain types of food such as dairy, chocolates or certain fruits. There are also many who have inherited pimples genetically , and some suffer with hormonal imbalances. Whichever the cause, it is important to first identify your individual pimple trigger, and be proactive about how you can avoid pimples. Life style changes such as a clean diet free of oil and fats, habits such as washing your face every 6 hours and avoiding direct contact with sunlight, using a clinically proven pore cleansing face wash etc. are some steps you can take to permanently get rid of pimples. 

But these are long term solutions. What can you do when you have an important date and a pimple has decided to show up right in the middle of your face? 

Here are 10 home remedies that will help you make those pimples disappear overnight! 

1. Tomato juice

Dab your face with fresh tomato juice and leave it on for an hour before washing it off. Immediately apply some Lacto Lotion and go to sleep! Wake up to a well nourished, pimple free face! 

2. Green tea ice cubes

A natural cleanser and full of anti oxidants, green tea ice cubes will shrink your pimples as well as give you clean and fresh skin. Prepare your favorite cup of green tea and make ice cubes out of it. Wrap a soft cloth around one cube and gently rub it over the pimple you want to get rid of. This is also great as a daily morning cleansing routine to make you feel fresh and alive!

3. Calamine Lotion

The overnight calamine lotion treatment is a tried and tested solution to rid your skin of those annoying pimples! Wash your face with a mild face wash and dab the pimples with Lacto Lotion – do not rub the cream in. Leave overnight and wake up to a pimple free face! Calamine comes with soothing and antiseptic properties that can clear your face of pimples and pimple scars. Daily use of Lacto Lotion can help control the excessive oiliness of your skin, thereby preventing pimples in the long run, and it is also great as a night cream that will replenish and nourish your skin overnight while keeping it pimple – free!

4. Coconut oil

A natural emollient and a skin hydrant, coconut oil also comes with antibacterial properties and is a common ingredient in most moisturizers. Lightly warm up the oil and apply to the affected area in a circular motion. Leave on for a few hours and wash off. 

5. Garlic

Mash 2 cloves of garlic and add a bit of water to form a paste. Apply over the affected area and wash off after 10 minutes. Garlic is full of antibacterial properties that will help reduce pimples, and this can be used as a weekly treatment to avoid pimples in the future. Don’t forget to dilute the natural garlic essence with water as on its own, it can be too harsh for the skin. 

6. Lemon juice

Dip a cotton ball in undiluted lemon juice, and apply over the affected area before you go to sleep. Lemon juice comes with anti microbes that can kill the bacteria in your pimple, and it’s anti inflammatory nature will make your pimple go down in no time. Wash your face as usual in the morning and use a moisturizer. 

7. Egg whites

Add a bit of lemon juice to egg whites and apply the mixture on your face as a face mask. Leave it on for 30 minutes and wash off using hot water, followed by cool water. Egg whites can draw out impurities and dirt from the skin, and contains enzymes that can reduce the oil production in your skin and control breakouts. 

Though these remedies can help make your pimple disappear overnight, it is important to take precautions to reduce pimples in the long term. Talk to your dermatologist about what treatment is best for you in the long run, and use a healing and soothing lotion, like Lacto Calamine, daily to give your skin the care it needs. As it contains healing properties and has the ability to reduce the oiliness of oily skin while maintaining the moisture of dry skin, Lacto Lotion is safe for all types of skin with breakouts. 

With these overnight remedies, pimple care just got a whole lot easier!

5 Things You Need to Know Before You Send Your Children Outdoors

The outdoors is a great place to explore and learn about the little intricacies of life. Sending your little ones out is a great exposure in order for their mental and physical growth. Statistics state that playing outdoors is a great form of physical exercise that promotes child – well being and improves general health.

However, if you have chosen to let your children know the greater degree of life outside, its better to be equipped and gather knowledge to be on the more informed and safer side.

Here are five important things you should know before you send your children to explore the world outside.

  • Clothing

How your child is dressed and in what apparel they are clothed in plays an important role in their outdoor life. Weather is another factor which effects daily routine. If it’s in the tropics, its better to dress your child in clothes that are made out of cotton. The cotton clothing shall absorb the moisture of the sweat and keep your child fuss free.

If your child is more prone to get his or her clothing dirty, either due to vigorous play and activity, It is advisable to dress them in apparel that is more onto the darker shade. A darker shade will keep the dirty look minimized and would make an easier wash

  • Sun Lotion

If you happen to live in the tropics and in Asian countries, then this is a serious concern you should take into important consideration. Due to heavy pollution and harsh sun effects we need to keep ourselves more informed, when we send our kids out to play. A sun lotion is am important factor that plays a vital role in keeping your children safe and act as a screen. Apart from the concern with regards to complexion, the health effects due to direct exposure to the sun is indeed a worrying one. The acute and immediate effects of UV irradiation on sensitive human skin could vary between sunburn to inflammation erythema and tanning. This short term exposure may cause pain and itching, due to irritated skin.

Adults often tend to look after their skin due to a particular skin care regime, however children are overlooked and the effects of the detrimental exposure to direct sunlight is an alarming one.It is essential to choose a wise option to protect your kids from the sun before sending them out. There are many sunlotions in the market. However it is important to consider a good option when it comes to sunlotions. The factors that you may have to consider should be the SPF. SPF (sun protection factor) is a relative measure of how long a sunscreen will protect you from ultraviolet (UV) B rays.

Make sure to apply the stated amount of sunlotion onto your children. One must choose a trusted skin care brand with a good name in the market before you make the purchase. You should be informed that a sun lotion which consists of an SPF rating tends to act as a shield that eliminates the effect of UV photons from touching skin and causing harsh damage. This may also depends on what type your skin (or your child’s skin) is, (sensitive/ oily/ tough/ rough) type and how exposed it may be towards burn. Always follow the careful instructions and follow the label. Any sunscreen lotion that consists of an SPF 50+ combines strong UVA and UVB filters that shield young and sensitive skin from sun damage with a caring formula. Use only the safest since children have tender skin

The benefits of using a good sun lotion on your children will reap the results later and will also help keeping away skin cancer. Did you know that Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is the number one cause of any skin cancer. Children need to have adequate protection from the sun so choose a sunscreen that has the essential quotient of SPF 50 and a sun lotion that has UVA & UVB both.

  • Shoes and footwear

Apart from clothing and a good lotion an important factor that needs to be considered is proper shoes whilst sending your child outdoors. Choose from Footwear that is both durable and light for your child to wear. Make sure that they do not cause unnecessary discomfort or cuts that might effect the sensitive skin and cause callouses on the heels or the ankles. Choose footwear that does not have laces so that children don’t trip. Its best to look for shoes that have velcro straps that eliminate the hassle of shoe laces.

  • Stay hydrated

Adequate hydration is an essential factor that is often overlooked. Children tend to forget to drink water or juice, they even stay hungry for long periods of time. It’s best to ensure your child has adequate water and other juices to keep them hydrated before sending them out.

  • Mini snacks

Children hardly take care of their hunger, they tend to get grumpy. It is best to satisfy their occasional hunger pangs with mini bites that are healthy. Instead of junk food, do give them a small snack of freshly cut fruit or crackers before they head out.

Being Asians, the sun is an important part of our lives, make sure that when you send your children outdoors, they are always well protected. They are the beacon of our future and deserve only the best. We need to up our game in terms of protection with today’s outbreak of disease and pollution. Safeguarding them and providing them with safety is essential to ensure a rosy future!

Learn by Burn: 8 Ways to Treat Sunburn at Home

A downside of living in a tropical paradise is the constant glaring UV rays of the sun. No two people burn the same way, still over exposure to the sun causes premature aging and changes in the DNA that in turn causes cancer, known as Melanoma. In mild forms, they can be easily treated at home but for serious cases like blisters, swelling and dizziness a visit to the doctor is recommended.

Home Remedies to Relieve Sunburn

  • A very mild and soothing treatment for sunburns is baby wipes since they balance the PH levels. Don’t over use them in any case as that may reduce the natural oils that assist the healing process.
  • The fats and proteins contained in milk are ideal for skin that has started to peel after sunburn. During this time hydrating the skin is important which will be done by milk. If you are averse to the smell of milk you can use milk based products as a substitute.
  • Tea, our special favorite is fantastic to treat sunburn. You have to brew a pot of green or black tea and allow it to cool for hours. Once the tea has cooled you can soak a soft towel in it and use as a compress on the affected areas.
  • The soft soothing gel in the Aloe-Vera plant will soothe the irritated skin.  If you don’t have access to a plant you can use aloe ointments, but make sure that they don’t contain lanolin as they can irritate your skin and worsen the condition.
  • The cooling compounds in cucumber will soothe irritated and burned skin. You have to simply cut some slices and gently rub on the affected areas.
  • The probiotics in plain yogurt works wonders that helps to restore the natural barrier of the skin. You have to apply the cold yogurt on the affected area and sit it for 10 minutes. You can then gently dab it off with a cold cloth.
  • Mayonnaise is known for its cooling effects. The soothing oil in it is ideal for instant relief. You have to directly apply onto the burn but keep in mind that it is not a remedy for sunburn.

These quick and easy remedies are readily available and what more they actually work. Having said that the best way to protect yourself is by using a sun lotion SPF 15 or higher and there is no reason to not enjoy the sun.

The Science of SPF & How it Affects Your Skin

[wpml_language_selector_widget]

If you are someone who craves the warmth of the sun without thinking twice about applying anything outwardly then you might have to start rethinking about the potential harm that the rays of the sun might actually do to your skin. Many of us don’t feel the burn or rather do not bother about the need for applying a sun lotion for extra protection. Some of us instantly feel the burn and turn into a shade darker very quickly. But, regardless of complexion, we all need to consider the fact that sunburn can actually turn into something unpleasant overtime, such as melanoma and premature aging.

  • Know the effects

There are various types of sun lotions out there for use but before going about grabbing the first sun lotion bottle you spot, you should first do your research and choose the right SPF for your skin. Sunburn is the damage that is caused to your skin due to overexposure to ultraviolet or UV rays from the sun. The more severe it gets, the more you become prone to forms of swelling and blisters. It is one of those entities that stealthily causes you pain over time and paves way for other skin prone afflictions.

Protecting yourself from the sun doesn’t mean that you simply need to cover up and stay away from the sun completely. The Sun itself is a good source of Vitamin D so we need not deprive ourselves from the goodness of this heavenly body. But, however we expose ourselves to the sun, we need to adopt precautions in order to safeguard our skin from unfavourable skin conditions which might tend to occur in the future.

  • Know what you buy

Choosing the right SPF or ‘Sunburn Protection Factor’ is important if we are to ensure that the right formula works for the right skin type. An SPF is a measure that determines how efficiently a sun lotion works to block ultraviolet B or UVB rays from damaging your skin. A sun lotion with an SPF rating acts as a shield that eliminates UV photons from reaching our skin and causing any damage. This of course depends entirely on your skin type and how inclined it is to burn. The numbers applied represent an approximate measure of time a person who has applied sun lotion can stay out without getting burned.

In theory, you should be able to experience about 600 minutes or 10 hours, in the sun. But, this is not an exact estimation since the UV light that reaches us depends on a number of factors. The higher the SPF number, the stronger the shield power is and the longer one can stay out in the sun. So, if you opt for an SPF 50 sun lotion, you can expect more protection from both UVA and UVB radiation.

  • Know what to do

When applying sun lotion, do this roughly 30 minutes before you plan to go out in the sun. This is also bound to give you best results as it can be quickly absorbed by the skin and is less likely to wash off when perspiration begins to kick in.
