Getting Rid of Zits Quickly

Getting rid of zits quickly is a task acne sufferers are frequently faced with. Those big red bumps pop up on our face, and always at the worst time. They can be painful and seem to last forever. When we have to face the world, we start trying to figure out how we can exterminate the little fellow on our face that seems to have his own voice screaming “HEY, Look at ME!”
Never fear, there are a few things you can do to silence the unwanted visitor.
A popular tip is to use white toothpaste. Cover the zit in white toothpaste overnight and wake up with a much smaller, less noticeable spot on your face. The toothpaste helps dry out the zit, reducing it in size.
Another product which I absolutely love is the Neutrogena Rapid Clear gel found in the Acne Treatment Kit. I keep a tube of this in my bathroom drawer and it works great. Place the gel on the zit, and the surrounding area, and it’s sure to shrink within the day. You can reapply it every 4-8 hours to really zap it and eliminate it extremely quickly. And it’s clear so you can wear it out and no one will know. This is truly a must for every acne sufferer. I’ll admit sometimes I apply it to acne prone areas of my face once or twice a week, overnight, to help zap whatever is thinking about popping up. (If you have dry areas on your face, you might avoid these areas because it will dry it out more.)
Shaving cream is another ‘around the house’ alternative. The ingredients are supposed to dry out pimples as well, although I haven’t personally tried this one I’ve heard it’s effective. You would apply the cream to the zit and to a bit of the area around it and leave it on overnight (remember to only use white or you risk temporarily dying your skin).
DO NOT pop that zit! You’re only defeating the purpose (and making things worse) because the sore that will be left will be uglier than the pimple…and you risk spreading bacteria to surrounding areas (asking for another zit).
Getting rid of acne altogether is the best way to prevent these future popups.
