How to Get Rid of Zits

Many teenagers want to know how to get rid of zits...especially when they have a big date coming up. Zits can make you feel ugly and embarrassed. You want to get rid of them as quickly as possible. We'll show you how.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• mild soap
• warm water
• toothpaste (white, not gel)

1. To prevent zits from happening in the first place, you need to keep your skin clean. Wash your face regularly with warm water and a mild soap.
2. If you already have a zit that you want to get rid of, gently wash the area before you go to sleep. Put a dab of toothpaste to cover the zit. This should be the white paste kind, not the gel.
3. When you wake up, wash off any dried toothpaste. The zit should be gone or reduced enough that you can cover it up.
