Orange peel is another alternative. All you have to do is mix the citrus skin with powdered milk and gently use it on the affected areas for a few minutes before rinsing.

Ginger is also a popular pimple sedative. You just have to rub it gently on the pimple and wait for it to subside after a few couple of days.
