Quickie Treatment Of Acne...

For those of us who have problems with occasional or not so occasional acne,
getting a pimple right before some important or special event is a dreadful
scenario.

There are quite a few safe and quick treatments for pimples.
Some will reduce swelling and redness;
others will actually throw away the pimple as well. Here are a few of them.

First of all, never pop, pick or squeeze pimples, no matter how curiously
tempted you are. This may cause inflammation and lead to scars or darkened
areas of the face. It may also spread the oils and bacteria to other areas
of the face, which can lead to more acne. Also, squeezing leaves an opening
in the skin, which can sometimes lead to a severe infection.

To reduce a pimple's redness, and swelling, use ice (either cube or pack) to
it every half hour for about 2 minutes. It will also reduce any inflammation
and pain the pimple causes.

Wash your face several times a day with an acne cleanser or mild, certainly
perfume free soap. Use a pad or cloth and gently scrub your skin. A gentle
rubbing ensures that your skins natural oils are not removed. Over rubbing
can actually aggravate pimples causing them to become more inflamed and even
redder.

Cover up pimples with a product that's designed to conceal them. It should
be applied lightly and match the color of your skin. This is for those times
when you can't "work" on a pimple, and need a quick cover up.

For another quickie pimple fighter, you can reduce swelling, redness,
inflammation and irritation by pressing a cotton ball with a little lemon
juice on it, or a wet tea bag, for 5 or 6 minutes.

And for another, put a small amount of toothpaste right on the pimple in the
morning and before bedtime. The menthol in the toothpaste will help dry
pimples out and reduce their redness.

Acne can result from a buildup of oil in the pores, so use oil free makeup.
Make sure you thoroughly remove makeup before bead using a cleanser that
will deeply clean all dirt, oil and makeup.

These tips should have a rather quick effect on your acne.
Usually just a day or 2 to will produce a noticeable difference. Remember,
these are not intended to correct recurring or severe acne problems. For
those you should consult with a qualified dermatologist or your doctor.
