The Quickest Way Ever To Eliminate A Pimple
Monday, August 23rd, 2010The easiest way to deal with pimples is to prevent them from ever happening (you can learn about the best way to prevent pimples at the bottom of this article), but we all know that sometimes pimples surface no matter what we do. The best way to get rid of a pimple fast is one of two easy methods:
Freezing Method – Use this method only if your zit has not yet broke the surface of your skin yet – meaning it is an inflammation beneath the skin, no white head or oozing.
– Before you do anything else, cleanse your face like normal with an acne wash
–Get an ice pack or make one out of a ziplock bag and some crushed ice, and apply it to your zit. Make sure it is freezing cold!
–Leave the ice on the pimple for 10 minutes
–Once the time is up you can now apply benzoyl peroxide on your pimple.
–Do this entire process again in 4 hours
This is the best way to get rid of a pimple fast because usually the zit will be gone within 24 hours, or even less! It works because the ice freezes the pores and prevents the dirt and oil from spreading and creating a deeper infection. Then the benzoyl peroxide dries up any excess oils left on the surface of the skin.
Hot Washcloth Method -Use the hot washcloth method only if your zit has broken the surface of your skin (if your zit is a white head, black head, oozing, or you just really, really, want to pop it)
–First, scrub your skin with a quality face wash
–Use a paper towel, wash cloth, or cotton ball and get it wet with the hottest water your sink will allow.
–Use the washcloth on your blemish for at least 20-30 minutes, resoaking it in hot water again when needed.
–Dry the area with a towel – pat dry, do not rub
–Now the tricky part – popping the pimple. It should look waterlogged by now, and will be easy to pop, just make sure NOT to press down, as this will force bacteria deeper inside the pimple causing a bigger zit.
–Now that its safely popped, apply benzoyl peroxide to dry up any oil that may have been forced outside the zit.
This method takes a little longer than the ice pack method, but it still works! Both of these methods should take no more than 25 minutes to do.
Like I said, the best way to get rid of a pimple fast is to stop them before they start! You can find all the best tips for curing and preventing acne right here at The Clear Skin Solution Blog.
