What are your pimples trying to tell you?


Your skin care routine, diet, sleep times and environmental factors all play a part in adding pimples to your face. We decode what your pimples are saying.

As a busy woman with several tasks to complete right this minute, you may be left with little time to yourself every day. In your spare time, you might prefer to catch up on your hobbies or socialising. Very few women are able to devote more than cursory time for skin care and preparing healthy meals. Soon, your skin breaks out in pimples.

However, before you look for ways on how to remove pimples, it is important to know that pimples occurring on specific parts of the face indicate deeper problems within. We outline the common problem areas and how to remove pimples based on their occurrence:

On the forehead: Pimples on the forehead indicate a deeper digestive issue. It could mean that you are unable to digest certain foods, or that these foods irritate the intestinal tract. The forehead is also likely to develop pimples if you forgot to wash last evening’s make-up off before going to bed. Most often, it indicates a fatty liver or a processing issue with the kidneys.

Act on it: Add raw fruit to your diet, consuming Vitamin C-rich fruit like papaya and pineapple half an hour before meal time. The fruit helps the digestive tract break down heavier food. Also change your pillow case regularly and wash your face before going to bed.

On the nose: It is not common to get pimples on the nose. However, blackheads and whiteheads may certainly appear on the nose. Getting pimples on the nose is a result of junk food (too much sodium and oil can cause pimple breakouts). If you had junk food last night and went to bed immediately after, you will most likely develop a pimple on the nose the morning after.

Act on it: Ask your doctor to chart out a juice cleanse regime for you. It should last only a couple of days. Meanwhile, cut junk food out of your life. A diet of raw vegetable salads, yogurt-based proteins and lemon juice in warm water will clear your skin up.

On the cheeks: Pimples on the cheeks are indicative of poor skin care and pollution. The skin on the cheeks is most likely to get pimples as a response to air pollution, your greasy hair, lack of daily moisturising, a diet rich in processed sugar and butter, etc. The cheeks are the most common area for pimples for most people.

Act on it: Cut back processed sugar from your diet, and start a daily cleansing and moisturising routine. Make sure to wash your face with a mild face wash before you go to bed every night. 

On the chin: Pimples on the chin normally indicate hormonal imbalances. They can occur just before you get your menstrual period. They can also occur if you are on hormonal medication for treating a gynaecological condition. Your dermatologist can recommend counter medication to get rid of these pimples.


Act on it: Cleanse the chin area gently. Pimples on the chin are harder and more stubborn than pimples elsewhere. So if you pop them, they are more likely to leave spots and scars.

All You Need To Know About Skin Pigmentation

Skin pigmentation can take many forms, and the condition points to an imbalance in the skin cells that produce melanin. This article looks at the condition. You may have noticed it in somebody else, or maybe in yourself – a discoloured patch of skin on the face or body, either darker than the rest of the skin or lighter. There are some whose entire body is covered in white skin, accompanied by light hair and eyes. In others, there are prominent spots or skin lesions. All of these conditions point to different types of skin pigmentation. What is it? Skin pigmentation is a general term used to describe a change in the skin’s cellular composition that brings about discolouration of the skin. The skin gets its colour from melanin, a pigment present in the dermis. It is produced by melanocytes, which are special cells present in the upper layer of the skin called the epidermis. When melanin is produced, it quickly starts spreading across the skin – thus, your skin is uni

Botox and Facial Fillers – How do they work?

There is a difference in the way botox and dermal facial fillers work. This article explains the need for both, and how to get a good treatment for botox in Dubai. Wrinkles and fine lines are a natural effect of aging. But they can make you look much older than your actual years. If you want to get rid of these unseemly wrinkles, you could consider getting a filler injection or Botox in Dubai. How are Botox and dermal filler treatments different? Most people are confused between Botox and dermal facial filler treatments. Though both are used to reduce the fine lines and wrinkles on the face, they are dramatically different in the way they are administered and how they function. With Botox, you are administered tiny doses of Botulinum Toxin, a neurotoxin that is injected into the nerve in the wrinkle being targeted. The nerve is deactivated temporarily, thus inhibiting the muscle that it sends impulses to. In turn, the muscle is also deactivated, which relaxes the

Why Opt For A Permanent Hair Removal?

A major task for every woman is probably taking care of the hair problems in a sense of having to maintain a hair free body and that too in all the appropriate parts of the body. Women also have to go through a lot of pains in the literal sense to get a hairless body. Hair removal styles such as waxing and even shaving have certain disadvantages. They can cause problems such as bruises and bumps which are very uncomfortable. There is a permanent solution for this which is known as laser hair removal. This treatment ensures permanent hair removal on all the appropriate parts of the body. This is a very effective hair removal treatment which is determined by the examination of the hair follicle. The framework of the laser is defined thoroughly by the match of the laser light with the location and size of the hair follicle. You should look for an effective solution for hair removal considering different factors such as pain and discomfort and the recurring cost which it takes for
