Getting rid of pimples

We all get these annoying pimples at the most annoying times - just before an important event! And for that, we have pimple cream.

But what about general, every day, when a zit pops up and applying make up over it, may just aggravate it? Is pimple cream still the best solution?

I've been applying 100% aloe vera gel onto my pimples as soon as I see it appear to help with the healing process. Of course, it isn't as magical as a 24 hour pimple cream. But, it's a much more natural way and if you're in no rush, why not? It actually does seem to speed up the process of getting rid of pimples compared to if nothing was applied. And of course - to avoid contaminating the zit - apply with a cotton bud/Qtip!

Aloe Vera Gel is also great for cuts and any burns, so it's always handy to have some nearby. But remember, use only 100% aloe vera gel!
