How to Cure Acne in 3 Days

Don’t spend the week wondering whether those unsightly blemishes that just cropped up on your face will be gone by the weekend. Ensure your time off will be acne-free with a few simple and natural steps that will relieve your face of ugly pimples in 3 days or less.

Things You'll Need

• Toothpaste (non-gel variety)
• Aloe vera
• Ice pack

Instructions

1. Dab a bit of aloe vera directly onto the pimple in the daytime. It’s clear and will be undetectable.

2. Dab a pit of toothpaste (the non-gel variety) directly onto the pimple before bed at night. It will draw out the impurities and dry out the blemish.

3. Apply a couple of ice cubes wrapped in a towel to the pimples for a few minutes before going out. While they are actually healing, the cold compress will decrease their appearance.

4. Wash your face at least twice a day, and outside of washing it, keep your hands off of it.

Tips & Warnings

• Don’t ever squeeze a pimple. It’s difficult to resist, but it could cause the bacteria to spread, spawning a larger outbreak.

• Don’t ever apply alcohol to your face to dry pimples. You’ll end up also drying the skin around the blemish forcing your skin to make extra oils to make up for the lost moisture. You could actually end up with more pimples this way.
