   Oooh, so tragic when its almost school!
   Okay, heres the trick…

   1) Wash your face twice a day with a cleanser
   2) Wash your hair properly… oily hair makes more pimples!
   3) Dab on some zit cream (clearasil ect.) where the pimple is before you go bed - if you don’t have zit cream use toothpaste!

   continue this process everyday and the zit will dissapear

   DO NOT…
   1) Pick the pimple, don’t play with it or try to pop it! It will leave small scars on your face
   2) Touch the pimple… your hands are oily even if you wash it alot

   Also…
   Drink lots of water and sleep well

   Hope this helps, good luck!

   Hi there,

   It is hard to give sound advice without knowing the current condiditions of your skin however, there are some great ways to clear a "zit."

   7 days should be plenty of time to clear a minor zit.

   for the specific problem zit, you want to dry it out and apply a spot treatment that you can find at any local pharmacy, or grocery store. I recommend Neutrogena On-The-Spot Acne Treatment. It utilizes Benzoyl peroxide (which can bleach fabrics).

   Use a spot treatment in the morning and evening.

   If you dont have a spot treatment you can use another agent to dry out the zit. A cut potato applied to the zit or some toothpaste can do the trick.

   don’t apply pressure to the pimple, it can become even more inflammed.

   Dont touch your face too often in the area, you will risk promoting new acne.

   Dont apply too many chemicals, creams to your face.

   Do get enough sleep, and drink plenty of water and you will be fine for the first day of school.
