For Women Only: Best Choices for Hair Removal

When hair removal is part of your regular beauty routine, you might use several methods on different parts of your face and body. You might even be thinking about permanent removal methods so you have fewer things to do in the morning. You have many choices, so you can try different ways to make your skin smooth.

Tweezing

How it works: You pull out individual hairs by the root with tweezers.

Best for: Small areas of the face

How long it lasts: 3-8 weeks

Tips: Clean tweezers with rubbing alcohol before and after each use to lower your chance of infection.

Possible side effects: If the hair breaks off, it could grow back under the skin, causing an ingrown hair.

Shaving

How it works: Using a razor or electric shaver, you cut the hair very close to the skin. "There's a popular myth that shaving causes hair to grow back coarser," says dermatologist David Pariser, MD. "But that's not true. An unshaved hair has a tip that is tapered and soft. When you shave it, you shave off the soft tip, so it feels coarser."

Tips: If you use disposable razors or blades, wet your skin and use soap or shaving cream. Shave in the direction the hair grows. Replace your razor often -- you can cut yourself with a dull one.

How to Get Rid of a Blind Pimple

Pimples are unpleasant for a lot of reasons, but add pain to the problem and it’s even worse. A blind pimple can be more painful than other pimples because it is deep within the skin, closer to the nerves.

Like all other types of pimples, it is also caused by overactive sebaceous glands under the skin that produce excess oil resulting in clogged pores. But it does not have the typical white head that common pimples have because it remains under the surface of the skin.

These pimples usually grow on the nose, behind the ears and elsewhere on the face. They are normally red in color, contain no pus and vary in size. It is common to get tempted to poke or squeeze a blind pimple, but you should not do that as it would only increase the risk of infection.

Proper hygiene, a healthy diet, and plenty of sleep and exercise all make a big difference in preventing pimples from forming and clearing up quickly if you do get them.

Some easy-to-follow home remedies can be of great help getting rid of blind pimples. Be sure to wash the affected skin area with water and pat it dry before applying any of the remedies.

Here are the top 10 ways to get rid of a blind pimple.

1. Warm Compress

A warm compress promotes blood circulation, which will speed up the healing process by bringing on the pimple’s head. When the head of a blind pimple opens, the infectious fluid accumulated within it will come out and the healing will begin.

• Soak a cloth in hot water and hold it on the blind pimple for a few minutes. Repeat the process three or four times a day until the pimple forms a head.
• Alternatively, you can use a warm black tea bag as a compress. The tannins present in black tea will also help reduce inflammation.

2. Tea Tree Oil

The antibacterial properties of tea tree oil will help kill bacteria that cause pimples and prevent further outbreaks. It will also soothe the skin and quicken the healing process.

Tea tree oil works like a cleanser, penetrating deep in the skin and opening clogged pores. It’s important to always dilute tea tree oil before applying it on your skin.

1. Mix one part tea tree oil with nine parts water.
2. Dip a cotton ball in the mixture, and apply it on the blind pimple. Leave it on for 10 minutes and then wash the skin with lukewarm water.
3. Apply a light moisturizer.
4. Repeat this process three times a day.

Note: If you have sensitive skin, you can dilute the tea tree oil with aloe vera gel instead of water.

3. Toothpaste

Some people find it very useful to apply toothpaste on blind pimples. However, if you have sensitive skin you need to be careful as toothpastes contain chemical substances that can irritate your skin.

For treating a blind pimple, always use white toothpaste. White toothpaste usually contains mint or clove oil that help reduce the size of pimples and also alleviate soreness and redness.

1. Apply a small amount of white toothpaste on the blind pimple before going to bed. Leave it on overnight.
2. In the morning, wash your face with lukewarm water.
3. Do this daily until the blind pimple vanishes.

Note: This remedy can be done during the day also. The toothpaste must remain on the pimple for at least one to two hours.

4. Honey

Honey has antiseptic as well as antimicrobial properties that work together to fight bacteria responsible for blind pimples and other types of pimples. Further, honey works as a gentle yet deep cleanser so scarring will not occur on pimple-prone skin types.

• Dip a cotton ball in pure honey and apply it generously on the affected skin area. Leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes and then wash it off with lukewarm water. Repeat the process three times a day for effective results.
• Blend an apple into pulp. Mix one tablespoon of the mashed apple with one tablespoon of honey to make a thick paste. Apply the paste on the affected area and leave it on for 10 minutes. Then wash your skin well with lukewarm water. Do this once daily to help heal a blind pimple effectively.

5. Milk

Milk contains alpha hydroxy acids, also known as AHA, that can help unclog pores by removing the outer layer of dead skin and the accumulated oil and dirt. Also, AHA will make your skin smooth.

• Apply milk to the blind pimple using a cotton ball and leave it on for 10 minutes. Then wash the area with lukewarm water. Do this three times a day until the head of the pimple comes out.
• Alternatively, put a slice of bread in warm milk, and put the soaked bread on a cloth to make a poultice. Apply the poultice to the blind pimple for a few minutes. Repeat the process twice daily until you notice improvement.

6. Lemon Juice

You can also treat blind pimples with lemon juice. The citric acid present in lemon juice works as an astringent to dry out the pimple. It also works as a cleanser to help remove bacteria and dirt and speed up the healing process.

• Extract the juice from one or two lemons. Dip a gauze pad in the juice and apply it to the inflamed area. Leave it on for 20 minutes and then wash it off. Do this two or three times a day for three to four days to see visible results.
• Alternatively, combine one tablespoon each of lemon juice and rose water. Apply it on the pimple using a cotton ball. Leave it on for half an hour and then wash it off with lukewarm water. Do this twice daily for a few days.
