    Default I want my pimple gone

    I have a gig tomorrow night and I'm on my period so my acne kinda sucks this week. I do bachelor parties so no bright stage lights to make my skin look better. Does anyone have any tips for clearing up skin quickly?

    The only thing I saw when I did a search was a baking soda mask, which I'm totally going to try!

    Asprin masks work really well to bring down swelling. If its a cyst you can use 2 layers of the sticky part of a band aide applied overnight to bring it to a head, prick it with a sterilized needle to get the puss out. After that honestly rubbing alcohol held on the pimple for about 20 seconds is great. Salicylic acid in most products seems to make me break out worse instead of making things better.

    Many people also rave about tea tree oil.

    I just used tea tree oil as a toner and then did the baking soda mask. My skin feels amazing! Except I still have a giant pimple (but just for now! Thanks Kylea).

    This is a cheaper method and everyone has this; tooth paste, not the gel. Put it on the zit and it should dry out. I did this all the time in my early teens when I broke out a lot. I left it over-night or for a few hours.

    Looks for products that have benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid in them. I prefer the first.. but each person to their own.

    Also if you have time to go into a sauna or steam your face and then do that mask, or an ance treatment. I steam my face in the kitchen over a pot, but I find putting a tea bag in the water helps a lot.

    seconded.... steam your face over some tea.

    if i am ever saddled with a massive monster zit that goes super deep, i put copious amounts of tea tree oil on it and push it in instead of trying to pop it. i have not "lanced" a zit since i was 13....don't see the point in it anymore. i have flattened out a monster cheek pimple at work before the eyes of my coworkers, using only tea tree oil, they were fuckin amazed. i showed up with a growth so horrible that i was gonna go home, but decided to spend 1/2 slathering TTO on it and pushing it as hard as i could back into my face, and it flattened out. it was still red, but flat, and i was able to cover it with some makeup and work. they were like how the fuck did you do that...that shit smells horrible. yes, strong smelling and medicinal, but ive never ever used anything else that could flatten out a zit in under an hour. try pushing on it! ugh, it seems so wrong but that's what i do now.

    ^^^ I honestly would be scared that pushing it in would pop it inside & spread the infection. Maybe I'm just chicken though.

    i wondered about that too... but when i do it with super-zits they do not resurface - i don't know where the infection goes. maybe it gets rerouted through your liver or something? certainly didn't turn into anything else on my face, just scabbed over, stayed flat, and was like a minor miracle for my head.

    i'm sure a dermatologist would be like DO NOT PUSH A ZIT INTO YOUR FACE.... but with the tea tree oil drying it out at light-speed it just seemed like the right thing to do, rather than try to poke it and extract pus, deal with blood etc...especially right before you gotta deal with people. rather have a flat reddish scab than an irritated, bleeding volcano!

    i've always found an apricot scrub with salisylic in it rubbed in for like 3-4mins followed by a 10% pure benzoyl peroxide gel ways does the job followed by aveeno to rehydrate and calm skin.

    my version of cheap proactiv.

    salicylic acid is the devil. so are scrubs and anything that dries your skin out. the key to clear skin is moisture (just not too much). you can try the zeno hot spot thingy. it won't dry your skin out and it's quick.

    Anti-bacterial wipes work very well for me. My pimples disappear overnight if I swipe with these before going to bed. Clean each pimple a few times, with separate wipes so you don't spread the bacteria. They should be gone by morning, or at least significantly reduced in size. If they aren't completely gone, repeat the process when you wake up.

    I always pop them, then use a bakingsoda scrub, not mask, a mask would dry it out really badly. Then I put toothpaste on it for as long as I can, overnight, etc.

    Don't let the bakingsoda get on your hair, it drys it out and feels gritty.

    I tried Kylea's band-aid trick on one of those deep under the skin zits and it worked incredibly well.

    For normal zits, I use Grease Lightening by Lush. The stuff is amazing and it dries them up within hours. I can't use most acne creams because my skin is too sensitive but this stuff doesn't bother me at all.

    I wash my face and then scrub it with sugar. Like, the kind that you use for baking, putting in your coffee....

    like I said, just wash it with normal facewash and then scrub scrub scrub with sugar and then rinse it off. You can also rub a slice of lemon on your face (or put some lemon juice on it) right after but I never bother. Seriously cheap and I have never had my skin so consistently clear in my entire life.

    Using tea tree oil as a toner has done the best so far. Last night I had a small pimple and used tea tree oil on it, today it is gone. I believe tea tree oil has antibacterial properties so I guess that explains why.

    There's nothing wrong with a mild scrub. Gets rid of dirt and dead/dry skin and shouldn't dry out your skin at all.
