Things You'll Need:
- white toothpaste
- eyedrops
- a good attitude
-
Step 1
Try this natural acne cure. Using a Qtip, dab some white toothpaste on your zit and leave on overnight. If you don't have that long, try have it on at least a few hours. Wash off toothpaste when you wake up the next morning.
-
Step 2
If you are really short on time, apply some eyedrops (like Visine) to the area. It should reduce the redness just like it is supposed to with your eyes.

Step 3
If you MUST squeeze, take a hot shower, or try steaming your face first to open your pores and soften the skin. Gently try to extract it (NO FINGERNAILS!) and if it doesn't come out easy, then leave it! Steaming your face will help bring it to the surface and get rid of it. Check out my article How To Purify your Skin on how to steam your face.

Step 4
Hide acne with concealerApply concealer. Use a concealer that matches your skin tone. I prefer to apply it with a concealer brush. Blend the concealer into your skin around the zit to avoid the look of caked on make-up. They even make concealer for guys now. Another great concealer that looks very natural and is not noticeable is mineral makeup. Use the concealer brush to apply mineral powder the to affected area. Then use the coverage brush to apply a light layer of mineral make-up to the rest of your face to even our your skin tone and make that pesky zit less noticeable.

Step 5
Hide acne with hairStyle your hair to hide the zit if possible. This works best if the zit is on your forehead. You can part your hair/bangs and swoop them across your forehead and no one will ever know your zit exists!
