If you’re desperate to find out how to get rid of a pimple, then do yourself a favour and read this article! The last thing you want to happen before a hot date, is wake up with a ugly great big zit, right in the middle of your face. If you don’t know how to get rid of it, it can be very embarrassing. If you’re looking for a quick fix to your problem, read on to find out how you can remove it fast!

Don’t, whatever you do, pick at the zit. Some people, who may claim to know how to get rid of a pimple, tell you that if a zit appears, pick at it until it goes away. Well if you take this advice, you’ll only make the pimple more apparent, and increase the inflammation around the area.

Also, if you do pick and the zit bursts, you could be spreading the dirty, acne causing bacteria, to other areas of your face, which will leads to more spots! In the long run, excessive picking can leave scars, which nobody wants to see!

I learned how to get rid of a pimple quick by performing this next quick treatment! Every half an hour, apply a small ice pack to the pimple, and hold it there for a few minutes. This decreases the swelling around the affected area, and also reduces redness, so it won’t stand out as much!

If you’re in a hurry, then use concealer. After all, that’s what it’s there for! Don’t use to excess, however. The last thing you want to be doing is clogging up your pores in the skin. Apply a thin layer over the pimple, as this will mask it from view.

Now a very important step to knowing how to get rid of a pimple. You absolutely must be cleansing your skin twice a day. No more no less. If you cleanse to excess, you’ll only be drying out your skin, which could lead to skin irritation and itchiness. Don’t, however, use normal bar soap to cleanse the face with, as these usually contain musch stronger chemicals which may irritate the skin further.

Instead, use an anti bacterial soap, or better still a facewash, to cleanse the face. This will assist in unclogging the pores, blocked up with bacteria, and leave you with a much cleaner feeling face! Pat the skin dry after washing, rather than scrubbing.

Now for a cheeky little trick I use now I know how to get rid of a pimple. Just before bedtime, apply a small dab of toothpaste to the affected pimple. It always seems to work for me, and my friends seem to think it works for them too!
