I Know Which Acne Treatment Works...
I hаνе senior pictures tomorrow аnd οf course I gеt a pimple rіght οn mу cheek. Anу ways tο gеt rid οf іt οr mаkе іt less red?
try washing your face with a gentle soap and putting toothpaste on the pimple over night and it should go away by morning, or at least be less red
also, i heard using eye drops can take the redness out of zits (like it does with eyes)
Put toothpaste on it.
You can use cover up.
I’ve heard the toothpaste works, just leave it on overnight. They also make that zit zap stuff ( i think thats what it’s called? ) And maybe in the morning you could just lightly dab some concealer on it. But whatever you do, don’t mess w/ it too much and irritate it so that it’s even brighter!
if its cystic.. like, big and painful and deep under the skin, DO NOT TRY IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM TO POP IT AND DEFINITELY USE NON-GEL, NON-WHITENING TOOTHPASTE. dont leave it on more than an hour though or the mint in it will irritate your skin nad make it very very red.
also things like rubbing alcohol and treatments with benzoyl peroxide in it will help.
if its one of those annoying, smaller, puss filled ones, you can either try to pop it and calm the skin or you can leave it and try washing your face with plain antibacterial handsoap and applying acne cream then leaving a glob of neosporin on it, for the redness. but you run the risk of it getting bigger by developing more.
ONLY IF YOU THINK YOU CAN POP IT SUCCESSFULLY. cause you usually will know based on your face and past expericenes of sorts.
ONLY IF YOU THINK YOU CAN, warm up half a cup of water for about 35-45 seconds. to pretty hot. then add sea salt, or epsolm salt.. or normal salt if you dont have the others. it helps to dry out your face and acts as a natural antibiotic, hence why salt water stings in your wounds but seems to help them at the ocean. with a towel, get it wet, and hold it on your zit. itll hurt a little if its too hot, but it cools quickly and the hot helps to open the pore and draw the puss and other gross crap close to the sruface- you need to do this to make sure you are getting everything out of your zit. if you can not get everything, more than likely it WILL get infected and puss up more and be a mess. Thats why you only do this if you know it will help. keep dipping the towel in your salt water and holding it on your zit, for about 5-10 minutes. the longer the better. the zit should start to really look like its coming to head. when youre sure its ready pop it by starting far from it- and push down and then up. your goal is to force everything deep on thinside, out. if you start pushing to close to the zit you will force some of the bacteria down further into your pore. after you get everything out of your zit, OR IF BLOOD STARTS TO COME OUT you need to stop before it starts getting tempting to pick, then you wash it again with antibacterial soap and if you have hydrogen peroxide pour some over it to ensure it is clean. then apply neosporin to help it heal quickly.
also, the next morning if you take a shower, put lotion on your face right after the shower while your face is still a little wet- itll help it absorb better and soften up the small scab that will have formed over the popped zit. plus your makeup will go onsmoother over it. <3
no matter WHAT stage it is or how you chose to handle your zit though heres the best advice.
drink so much water you think youre gonna burst. keep drinking it all night.
it wqill flush your sytem right out and prevent any other zits from showing up nad from hte inside out it will help that one heal better and reduce the redness.
plus it gives all of your skin a gorgeous healthly glow that will be perfect for your pictures tomorrow.
i hope this is helpful to you-
just do what you know will be best for your particular skin.
good luck!! <33
