Acne can be a headache to deal with, and sometimes it can be really red and stand out no matter how much you try to cover the blemishes. There is a very easy way to reduce the redness in the pimples so you can get on with your day. Read on to learn how to reduce acne redness.

Things You'll Need

• Q-tips
• Eye drops
• Freezer
• Sandwich or freezer bags

Instructions

1. Take six or more Q-tips and generously wet the tips with the eye drop solution.

2. Place the wet Q-tips in a sandwich or freezer bag. When you place them in the bag, lay them flat and try to separate them as well.

3. Seal the bag and place it in the freezer, making sure the Q-tips lie flat while freezing.

4. Close the freezer and allow the Q-tips to freeze over night.

5. In the morning, if you have a red pimple, grab a frozen Q-tip and place it on the pimple for several minutes. The eye drop solution should reduce the redness in the blemish, but more than one Q-tip can be used if necessary.

Tips & Warnings

• Any brand of eye drops will work. If you prepare the Q-tips at night, they will be nice and frosty by morning when you need them the most.
