How to take care of a pimple.

Here are some easy tips to care for that untimely pimple

- Dab a bit of toothpaste on it - this is said to dry out the pimple.

- Apply turmeric paste on the pimple at night and wash off in the morning.

- Try dabbing honey on it - honey is supposed to kill bacteria and help heal the infection.

- Also try tea tree oil. This anti-bacterial oil from Australia is supposed to help reduce redness, swelling and help prevent scarring, though this isn't necessarily a quick fix and might take some time.

- Make sure you're not using a soap or another product on your face that's causing an allergic reaction. Also, do not have very oily and spicy food the night before a big day - it's said to hasten the appearance of pimples.
