How to get rid of a pimple...

User-Submitted Article

Hate it how you always seem to get a pimple right before you have to do something like go to a class or to a dance class? well this might work for you as a last resort...

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • facecloth
  • tissue
  • pin
  • clay mask
  • hot water
  • soap
  1. 1

    First of all you need to figure out what type of blemish you have been cursed with..

  2. 2

    If its a blackhead cover it and its area with a clay mask (clay naturally draws out oil and dead skin which is what a blackhead is made out of) wait for it to dry as long as the package says. Apply a Blackhead strip to wet skin, wait for it to dry and pull it off. Your Blackhead should be gone. Put some ice on to get rid of swelling and follow with your normal makeup routine.

  3. 3

    If the pimple is Pustule (has a white puss filled head) get a face cloth as hot as you can stand it apply it lightly to the blemish for a few minutes to draw the puss foreword and make it easier to pop. Put a piece of tissue on each index finger and lightly squeeze it, if the puss doesn't come out get a sharp pin and lightly prick the pimple than squeeze the puss out. apply ice to it so it doesn't get all red and swollen than apply makeup as usual

  4. 4

    If it turns out to be a red bump than there is really not a lot of hope for you except for putting ice on it and applying concealer

Tips & Warnings

  • Add a little green makeup to your concealer it works wonders
  • Use only an oil free makeup
  • Have the water hot but not too hot of you will get red burnt skin (I did the first time I tried this and it wasn't pretty)
  • Don't wash your face too often this can strip your skin of its natural protectors and make you break out
  • Whatever you do don't touch your face
  • Make sure you are washing your face regularly

on 7/1/2009 Get close to a mirror and pop it so the puss explodes on the mirror. You will giggle at the disgustingness. Then wash your hands. Put a small amount of rubbing alcohol on a tissue and press into the pimple. Slight sting because it's killing the dirt. Then leave it alone to scab. Don't rip off the scab. There is nothing you can do for the next couple of days but live with it. The scab will come off naturally. If you rip it off early, there can be scarring or it just scabs again and it'll take longer to heal. I'm the master at this and I always get compliments on my skin and I'm a dude. Yeah baby!
