This oil will penetrate deep down through the pores of the skin and its antibacterial properties will help in killing all the microbes that have caused the breakout. Moreover, it also helps in clearing the skin of excess oil called sebum which is one of the prime causes behind pimple formation.

Cold Compression

Ice cubes help in arresting the growth of pimples instantaneously. When we press ice cubes on areas attacked by zits, the temperature of that area goes beyond the freezing point.
