Pimple and Acne Cure With Natural Home Remedies

Often confused as the same, acne and pimples are different. Though many of us have suffered from either or both- acne & pimple breakouts, knowing how to differentiate one from another is important before tackling them. Lets know a little more about pimple & acne- causes & cure with natural home remedies.

Acne, is a more broader term to describe break outs that are more persistent & caused due to blockage of follicles whereas pimples are caused by blocked skin pores & may occur infrequently. Another difference to note is that acne may or may not have a head & can be a cause of hereditary factors. Suffered mostly but not necessarily during teen & adolescent stages due to hormonal imbalances, pollution or bacterial infections, acne can occur on face, neck, shoulders, chest and back too!

Pimples on the other hand can occur due to seasonal changes, exposure to dirt & pollution or stress too!
