Red, painful pimples are a common skin concern faced by many. If you’re struggling with this issue, a simple, natural remedy could help you manage it effectively. Nutritionist Shweta Shah has shared a traditional, Ayurvedic solution using Multani Mitti (Fuller’s Earth) on her Instagram. Why Do Red Pimples Appear? Pimples can occur due to multiple reasons.
