Remove your Pimples - Five Ways to Get Rid of Pimples Fast

The worst nightmare imaginable: Waking up a day before an important event and discovering that a huge, red pimple has grown up right on your face! Then you need to get rid of it safely and quickly!

Here are the five best working tricks to make the blemish disappear as fast as possible:

1. Treat Pimples Gentle: Don't never ever try to pick, pinch or squeeze a pimple. It will only get more red and inflamed. And it's contents - bacteria, oils and old skin particles - will spread into the skin - preparing the seed for more pimples to come. Besides this you may create nice scars by treating your pimples violently.

2. Reduce the Pimple's Inflammation: If you reduce the inflammation, the pimple will become less red and swelling and pain will be reduced, too. You can apply an ice pack to the pimple every 30 minutes and hold it there for about 2 minutes. Holding and pressing a cotton ball with some lemon juice or a wet tea bag against the pimple will work, too. And then there is the well-known toothpaste-trick: a dab of toothpaste applied to the affected area (best before you go to bed) will reduce the redness and skin irritation, too.

3. Cleanse your Skin Regularly: You may have gotten tired of it, but: Cleaning your skin several time (2-3 times) a day with unscented, mild soap or a special (mild) acne cleanser will help, too. Additionally exfoliating pads or washcloths to scrub the skin and remove old skin particles. But be gentle, rubbing too hard will prepare the ground for more pimples.

4. Fight Pimples with Soft Exfoliation: Apply a cream or other acne product containing benzyl peroxide or salicylic acid - that are contained on many over-the counter acne medicines. This will help to dry out and heal the pimple faster. But be careful, these ingredients have a tendency to dry out normal skin, too, and should not be used on sensitive skin.

5. Hide your Pimple: well, unfortunately sometimes a pimple is too nasty to disappear within one or two days. If you need a clear skin - or at least a skin appearing to be clean - you can mask it using a small dose of flesh-tinted concealer. It also camouflages that oily shine. The best is to use a special product for concealing acne.
