One of the most annoying things that can happen to you right before an important event is finding out that you have a huge pimple staring at you every time you look at yourself in the mirror. No matter what age you are this can mean big trouble. Maybe you have a dinner date coming up; a dance at school, a business meeting, or you are going out somewhere where you will be around a lot of people. So what do you do to get rid of a big pimple fast?
The first thing you need to do is remain calm. Not all hope is lost. There are things that you can do to help get rid of that big pimple fast. While there are plenty of over the counter medications and treatments to help with acne, there is not much out that there that will work quickly enough if you only have a day or two before your big day. With the tips listed in this article, you should be pimple free in no time at all.
One of the best tried and true tips that you can do is to use toothpaste. Yes, that's right, toothpaste. It is not just for keeping those pearly whites clean and tarter free. You need to put a little dab of toothpaste on the pimple at bedtime and leave on overnight. Then wash it off when you get up in the morning. The toothpaste helps to reduce the swelling in the pimple as well as getting rid of the redness.
Once the swelling and redness is gone, the pimple may be gone as well. If it is not, it will be a great deal smaller and the redness that makes it so noticeable will be gone as well. You will barely be able to see it at all. If there is anything left at the entire pimple, you can use a bit of cover up makeup to hide the pimple. This will work for both men and women and boys and girls. If applied correctly, it will blend with your natural skin tone and no one will know that you're wearing any makeup at all. There is also cover up acne medication that works to get rid of the pimple while hiding it.
Clearasil has come out with a new medication that claims to clear up a pimple in as little as 4 hours, so this is good in a pinch if the pimple shows up unexpectedly. This treatment cream works to reduce the size as well as the redness of the pimple in just 4 hours. If after the 4 hours you still see some of the pimple, you can then try the toothpaste or just put on some cover up to mask the little bit of the pimple that is left.
