Cover the zit with a small piece of bacon and cover with a band-aid just before bed. Pimple should be gone by morning. My mother swears by this one.

If its a white head (ewwww) pop it, but dont press to hard and only try for 1 sec if it does't pop stop. Your only make it worse.

If its just red use concealer on it (medicated is best if you have some), and (if you have some) seal with powder to keep the concealer in in place.
If you go out keep the concealer with you.
Cheak evertime your near a mirror that it hasn't gone crusty, if it does fix it by reapplying.

If your just at home wash it with plain soap, this will help dry up the spot and it will go down.

Popping it may leave a scar or enlarge your pores & can get infected if your fingernails have any bacteria on them. If it is hormonal (female: close to that time of the month), taking Ibuprofen can reduce the swelling a little. Best thing to do is clean it (Astringent will dry it out) & leave it alone. Concealer will hide it if you are really self conscious about it.

A hot washcloth, as hot as you can stand it. Hold it on the offending zit, this will bring things to the top and then you can squish it. Apply some alchohol and LEAVE IT ALONE!

Do not touch it! Wash your face with soap or whatever you use every morning and night. Do not try to pop it and at night put a face mask on it and if you don't have that then put a steaming hot wash cloth on it for a few minuets... This will make it red for a little while but then it will clear up faster. I hope this works and remember do not touch it!

Was this answer helpful to you?  Yes  /  No



Nodor
Take a face cloth and soak it with warm/hot water. Then lightly rub it to remove any oil in the area then place the face cloth on your forehead over the zit. The heat will draw the bacteria to the surface and in some cases right out into the face cloth. Repeat this process untill it starts to go down.
By tomorrow it will be fine.

Put a dab of toothpaste on it before you go to sleep. Make sure you don't pop it because the dirt and oil will only go deeper into the pore , making it worse. Good luck!

Take a pin and light it up to disinfect. When it cools, take it and pinch the zit. The stick it in enough to pop it. Then pinch the stuff out. Mine are usually gone the next day once the stuff is out. The pinching helps with the pain and it really isn't bad. It works for me!!

$M0ney0nMyMind$
SINCE Y0U D0N'T WANT MEDICATI0NS, 0R CLEANSERS, I HAVE WRITTEN D0WN WAYS T0 CLEAR Y0UR ACNE NATURALLY.
H0PE DIS HELPS, IF Y0U HAVE ANY QUESTI0NS EMAIL ME. THANK Y0U AND G00D LUCK..

Most people who suffer from acne go out and spend good money on common over-the-counter acne Treatment products. The truth is, most of these products are full of chemicals that can actually slow down the healing of acne, and irritate your skin, causing farther breakouts.
With that in mind, I will list some basic household items that can work wonders on clearing up your skin.

Baking soda – A very cheap cooking ingredient that most people have in their homes already, baking soda can be used as a great scrub. The purpose of a scrub is to exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin that can eventually clog pores and lead to acne spots. To start off, you'll want to mix a small amount of baking soda with some water for form a paste. Baking soda is very effective as a scrub, so you want to be sure to be extra careful when applying it to your face. Gently massage the paste into your skin for ten to fifteen seconds. Then rinse the baking soda off, and pat your face dry with a clean towel.

Apple Cider Vinegar – Though most people that use vinegar to treat acne use the apple cider form of vinegar, you can also use plain old regular vinegar. Regardless of which type you use, vinegar can be very helpful with it comes to clearing up acne. It can kill off acne causing bacteria, balance your skin's pH, and absorb extra oil on your skin.

Starting with clean, dry Skin, apply diluted vinegar (eight parts water to one part vinegar) directly to your skin with a cotton ball, and leave it on. If you want, you can also use a stronger vinegar solution (say, 2 or 3 parts water to 1 part vinegar), and apply it directly to problem areas, rinsing it off after ten minutes.

Lemon or lime juice can also be substituted for vinegar. Both of these juices are rich in citric acid, and can exfoliate your skin very well, halting the growth of acne spots, as well as fading previous, non-active acne quicker.

Egg Whites – Rich in protein, egg whites can be used as a mask to heal and rebuild your skin. It can also help to absorb excess oil from your skin. To start off, crack an egg, removing the yolk so that just the egg whites are left behind. Beat these egg whites, and apply them directly to your face. Let it sit for fifteen minutes, and then rinse the egg off.

Oatmeal – As odd as it may seem, oatmeal can absorb unwanted oil and draw out impurities which reside deep in your skin. Cook some plain oatmeal like you would for consumption. Let it cool off, and rub it over your clean skin. Let it sit for a while, like you would a mask, and then rinse off. If you do this on a regular basis, you should begin to start noticing results soon.

Tea Tree Oil – TTO is a commonly used all-natural household antiseptic, which you can pick up at most drugstores or supermarkets. You can apply TTO directly to acne spots to kill bacteria, or, if you strongly dilute it with another oil (such as jojoba oil), over your entire face. Tea tree gel can be easier to apply than the oil, and many are made for applying over large areas of skin, so they aren't quite as strong as straight TTO and do not need to be diluted.

Pantothenic Acid (Also known as Vit. B5) – Pantothenic Acid can be taken in large quantities for the benefit of acne reduction. B5 works by helping your body to metabolize fats which would otherwise be later turned into sebum (oil) and excreted through the skin. Small amounts of B5 won't help though, and it has to be taken several times a day.

To help with acne, you will need to take 2.5 grams of Pantothenic Acid (the powder form is much easier to take), 4 times per day, for a total of 10 grams per day.

Aloe Vera – Aloe Vera has been used for many years in kitchens for topical application to burns. Another benefit of aloe is that it can prevent scaring, fade marks and help heal acne spots.

You now have an idea of some basic household items you can use on your skin, that work better than many OTC acne products, and are much cheaper to use.

This sums up our basic list of natural alternatives for chemical based acne Treatment products. You can take this a step farther by attacking your acne from the inside out. Acne has been shown numerous times to be very closely affected by the digestive system, so keeping your entire digestive system working as smooth as possible can help reduce acne. I will help give you a basic idea of some all natural products you can take to help clear up acne.

Cucumber, lemon and carrot juice, brewer's yeast, and active charcoal pills are all capable of helping the digestive system function normally. Since the digestive system is closely related with the health of the skin, they should help reduce acne breakouts. Flax seed can also be wonderful for helping your skin heal faster.
