Find Out The Best Way To Eliminate A Zit Fast!
The 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:
Ice Pack Method - This is the method to use if your pimple has not come to a head yet (meaning has no white head or puss)
-- The first step is to simply cleanse your skin with a quality face wash
--Immediately after cleansing your face, apply an ice pack to the pimple. If you don't have an ice pack, you can make one yourself out of crushed ice, some foil, and a ziplock bag.
--Wait ten minutes
--When the minutes are up (and you feel like your face is freezing off!) apply an acne treatment cream on the zit - anything containing benzoyl peroxide will work perfectly.
--Do this entire process again in 4 hours
The way this process works is that by freezing the pimple, you are preventing any more oils and bacteria from spreading and causing a worse zit. The benzoyl peroxide is essential because after the ice pack is used, it helps to dry up any oils that may have spread. If you do this correctly at least 3 times in one day, your zit should be gone by the next morning.
Hot Compress Method - This is the method to use when your pimple HAS come to a head, meaning it is oozing, is white on top, or you are tempted to pop it.
--Cleanse your face with an acne cleanser
--Get a cotton ball or washcloth, and soak it with the hottest water you can stand touching your face
--Apply the hot washcloth to the zit, pressing down firmly, for 30 minutes. When the cloth starts getting luke warm, re-soak it in steaming hot water.
--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.
Apply some benzoyl peroxide to the zit (or any treatment cream you have) right after you pop it. This will remove any excess bacteria.
As long as this method is done right, it should work within about 24-36 hours. If you need to, you can repeat it tomorrow if you don't see substantial results.
It is much easier to treat acne at its root to stop it from happening than to treat the surface symptoms. Learn how to permanently cure your acne now! Or, if you need help on eliminating a zit, see this articlebest way to get rid of a pimple fast.
