Tips & Warnings
You can use toner or products that contain salicylic acid in place of a product containing benzoyl peroxide to dry the pimple.
Use a clean cotton ball, swab, makeup sponge or makeup brush to touch the affected area. f you do not have any of these items, be sure you're your hands are clean so you do not infect the area again.
Do not pop a pimple this will only make the affected area more red and visible.
Use a very small amount of concealer. Using too much will make the pimple more visible instead of hiding it.
