Are you a teenager bothered by pesky pimples that pop up just before a social function? Are you way past the teens but are still dealing with pimply skin? Does your skin erupt into big ugly pimples during "that time of the month"? 

Whatever the case, you have come to the right place!

After years of trying out almost everything available for pimply skin in the market, I finally chanced upon something that really works. A solution that is non-toxic, natural, and most importantly - not tested on animals! And yes, it's economical too. 

The idea of using oils to combat pimples might seem counter-intuitive, but trust me, this thing really works! Each one of the ingredients in this serum possesses healing, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties that not only nourish your skin but also keep pimples at bay. 

While a combo of coconut oil + lavender essential oil works great as a simple overnight serum for non-problematic skin, you wouldn't want to miss the acne-fighting properties of castor oil, tea tree essential oil and turmeric powder for an effective anti-pimple treatment. 

serum for pimples

Method

Mix all the ingredients and store in a small airtight bottle. You need just 2-3 drops for daily use and this recipe lasts for around 60-70 days.

How to use

Wash your face with plain water or a mild face-wash. Pat dry. Immediately apply a teeny-weeny bit of the serum to your just-damp* skin and massage in. 

Leave on overnight and let the oils work their magic while you are sleeping. Use daily and start enjoying visibly clearer and firmer-to-touch skin in a week's time :)
