If you have a pimple that is really annoying you, try dabbing a bit of tea tree oil on it. This will help the pimple go away faster.
You may make your acne worse because you also have oil and dirt on your hands. When you put your hand on your face, even absentmindedly, you are transferring what is on your hands to your face.
If you prefer, you can also use a cool pack from the freezer, but be sure to wrap it in a thin towel so it doesn’t get too cold on your skin.
Remember that this won’t do anything to reduce inflammation, or the pimple itself, but in a pinch it can help make the redness less obvious.
Let the cucumber slices rest on the pimple until they warm up. If you want to continue the treatment, apply a fresh, cold slice. This will help constrict the blood vessels around the pimple so there won’t be so much redness.
Crush a few aspirin tablets until they are a fine powder. Add water a few drops at a time until you are able to form a paste. Don’t add too much water as you want the paste to be slightly sticky. Apply to the pimples you are concerned about, and leave on for a few hours or overnight, if possible. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and water when you want to remove the past. Do not use this method if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
You can also use regular concealer, but green will work best on pimples. Remember to apply lightly! Wash and moisturize your face before applying the concealer to minimize the amount of bacteria that is present on your skin. Then gently dab the concealer onto the pimple and blend with a makeup sponge. You can then apply foundation as you normally would (if you wear makeup) on top of the concealer.
Wet your face with lukewarm water before washing, then gently massage the cleanser into your skin using your fingertips. You can allow the cleanser to penetrate your skin better by leaving it on the skin for 30 seconds up to two minutes. Rinse thoroughly with running, lukewarm water. Pat your face dry using a clean towel, but don’t rub, as this will irritate your skin, causing even more redness.
Try to look for a moisturizer that also includes an SPF, which will protect your skin from the sun.
You can clean your brushes by getting the bristles completely wet using lukewarm water. Swirl the brush around on a bar of soap so that it picks up some of the soap or put a little baby shampoo in your palm and swirl the brush in this. Then rinse the brush thoroughly in water. Gently squeeze out any excess water, and lay it flat on a clean towel to dry. You can also buy brush shampoos or cleansing spritzers made specifically to clean makeup brushes. Place the brushes in the sun, and they will dry even more quickly.
Ask your dermatologist about creams containing azelaic acid, which can treat acne as well as reduce redness. Don’t apply the treatment all over your face as this may irritate the healthy parts of your skin.
It will probably be pretty difficult to avoid eating something from one of these groups, and that’s ok. It’s best to just eat as healthy as you can, and not worry too much when you eat something unhealthy.
