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.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Acne
  • Q-tips
  • Eye drops
  • Freezer
  • Sandwich or freezer bags
  1. Step 1

    Buy any brand of eye drops. Take six or more Q-tips and generously wet the tips with the eye drop solution.

  2. Step 2

    Place the wet Q-tips in a sandwich or freezer bag, laying them flat and trying to separate them as well.

  3. Step 3

    Seal the bag and place them in the freezer, making sure they lay flat while freezing. Close the freezer and allow the Q-tips to freeze over night.

  4. Step 4

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