Let's face it: breakouts are bad! And as if having pimples weren't painful enough, there are also these unsightly zit marks that can make your skin look all the more hideous. If you have tried everything in your kitty, from herbal remedies to OTC creams to zap the zits but in vain, we bring you a foolproof remedy that will clear up your skin in a snap.

Birth control pills are your best bet here. That's right! Oral contraceptives are any day netter than antibiotics and placebos when it comes to treating acne. While antibiotics and OTC creams also work, but birth control pills are better at clearing the skin and covering the marks over time.

Apparently birth control pills hikes the level of a particular protein in the blood called sex hormone bonding globulin. This checks your testosterone levels and the lesser free male hormones you have floating in your bloodstream, the clearer your skin will be.

That's why antibiotics are good for pimples, but birth control pills are even better. That is because they contain a particular type of progesterone that is effective in holding back the zits from wrecking a havoc.

If you wish to go for a birth control as well as steer clear f pimples, oral contraceptive is your first line of defense.
