How to Get Rid of Pimples Quick!

It's always the same, you have an important event coming up, a photo shoot, a night out with the girls or a date. This is when you notice a pimple showing up on your face! at Spots are an extremely common skin issue for us all, it isn't surprising that they appear when we least expect them.

If you don't have time to wait until they go down on their own, we have a few quick suggestions on how to get rid of pimples quick, ahead of important plans:

Try Some Ice To Help Get Rid Of Pimples Quick.

If your pimple is red and painful, ice can help soothe it. Place a single ice cube in a paper towel or cotton cloth and press it gently against the pimple for about 5 minutes. Avoid putting the ice directly onto your skin. This might hinder what you're trying to do and increase the amount of inflammation and redness in the area.

It's a great way to not only soothe the pesky zit, but can also help reduce the appearance of the pimple and alleviate the redness around it. Even if you only have a few minutes to spare before you need to head out of the door, give it a whirl!

Make an Aspirin\Disprin Paste To Help Get Rid Of Pimples Quick.

We know this might sound a bit odd. But making a paste from a crushed up Disprin can help reduce swelling while helping with the pain of the pimple too. Aspirin contains salicylic acid, the same ingredient found in many exfoliators, creams, and other skincare products. So it can be great to use in a pinch.

Crush up a Disprin tablet into a fine powder. Add a small amount of water to make a thick paste. Apply this paste directly to the pimple and let it sit for up to 15 minutes. After, gently rinse the paste off of the area with warm water.

 You’ll hopefully notice a reduction in the redness, swelling, and pain of the spot. This may be just the quick fix remedy you need before meeting up with friends or family.

Reach for the Acne Treatment To Help Get Rid Of Pimples Quick.

If you have a little  more time before you need to look your very best. Reaching for your favorite acne treatment might be the best option. These products usually generally contain salicylic acid and other botanical ingredients that are specifically formulated to target the inflammation and swelling from zits. They may also provide better results when used over a longer period than the quick fixes will do.

It can also sooth sore and inflamed spots while also working to reduce redness and swelling around it. You’ll also notice a reduction of the size of your pores which helps prevent future breakouts from happening.
