Here are some practical self-care tips to help control pimples:

1. Gentle Cleansing

   • Wash your face twice daily with a mild, pH-balanced cleanser to remove excess oil, dirt, and makeup without irritating your skin.

2. Avoid Picking or Squeezing Pimples

   • Touching or popping pimples can increase inflammation and may cause scarring, so it’s best to leave them alone.

3. Use Non-Comedogenic Products

   • Choose skincare and makeup labeled as "non-comedogenic" or oil-free to prevent clogging your pores.

4. Maintain a Healthy Diet and Hydration

   • Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, dals (lentils), and whole grains like millets. Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated. Avoid excessive dairy, sweets, and oily foods that may trigger breakouts.

5. Manage Stress

   • Stress can worsen pimples. Practice relaxation techniques such as yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises.

6. Avoid Excessive Sun Exposure

   • Use an oil-free, non-comedogenic sunscreen to protect your skin without causing breakouts.

7. Regularly Change Pillowcases and Towels

   • Keep your bedding and towels clean to reduce bacteria that can contribute to pimples.

8. When to Seek Medical Advice

   • If pimples persist or worsen, consult a dermatologist who can recommend treatments like topical benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid products available in India.

Following these steps can help manage pimples effectively. For personalized care, please consult a dermatologist.
