How to get the soreness out of pimples

Have a pimple that hurts? This is guaranteed to get the soreness out and start the healing process.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2-3 Tbsp Epson Salts
• 1 cup fairly hot water
• clean cotton cloth
• optional-oil free moisturizer

1. Mix the salts with the hot water. Fold and dip the cotton cloth/rag in the salt water. Press and hold to the affected area. Keep holding it on the area for a few minutes at a time, over a period of 15 to 20 minutes.

2. After soaking each area, rinse face with cool water and pat dry.

3. If you have a non-oily moisturizer, you can put some around the affected areas being careful not to get it on the pimples.

Tips & Warnings

• You can use ordinary table salt, but it may dry you skin out a bit more so use a little less than stated.
• Do not make the mixture too strong as your skin may become too dry and flaky.
