Summer heat means it’s time for summer fashion. And while your crop top or tank top are definitely cute, you’re mortified about your heat pimples. Just when you can finally show some skin, you have an unattractive rash. But before you hide under your hoodie, check out these five natural ways to get rid of heat pimples.
What are heat pimples?
If this is the first time you’ve had heat pimples, you might not know what they are.
Heat pimples are usually caused by the body’s own heat, which increases oil production and collects the toxins in your body.
The increase of oil and the accumulation of toxins ultimately clogs skin pores and gives you patches of sharp little heat pimples.
5 natural ways to get rid of heat pimples
Cucumber
When you blend cucumbers into a paste, you can apply this directly onto the heat pimples. It can lower body heat, oil production and also minimize redness.
Castor oil
It might seem strange to add oil unto clogged pores and breakouts. But castor oil is especially useful because it helps to fight bacteria responsible for breakouts. Plus, it can help clean poor and get rid of excess oil.
Aloe vera
Aloe vera acts as an anti-bacterial agent to fight breakouts, but it doesn’t leave your skin dry. Instead, it’s hydrating and soothing.
Ice
Using ice is a tried and true way to deal with any pain, swelling and redness. And the same is true for heat pimples.
Olive oil
Olive oil is a skin favorite thanks to its Vitamin E and antioxidant content, both of which are great for repairing and nourishing irritated skin.
