How to get rid of a pimple in 24 hours

Follow these steps to make that pimple disappear in 24 hours.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Neutrogena on the Spot Treatment
• Facial wash with Salicylic acid
• Facial moisturizer

1. In the morning, wash your face with a facial cleanser that contains salicylic acid. Salicylic acid is commonly used in many types of skin care products and is primarily used to treat and prevent pimples.

2. Apply the Neutrogena-On-the-Spot Acne Treatment on the pimple. This product contains 2.5% Benzoil Peroxide which is effective, yet won't dry your skin out. Apply a small amount and let dry. Once it has dried completely, apply another layer. Wait until completely dry and apply a light layer of the facial moisturizer.

3. In the evening, wash your face with warm water and use the salicylic acid facial cleanser. Rinse with ice cold water to close the pores.

4. Apply a very generous amount of the Neutrogena-On-the-Spot Acne Treatment to the pimple, about the size of a pencil eraser. Once it is completely dry, apply a small amount of moisturizer to your face.

Tips & Warnings

• Apply visine or an antihistamine cream to the pimple to reduce redness.
• As there may be redness for a day or two, a good concealer is always good to keep on hand--even for men. Make sure it matches your skin color and no one will be able to notice a thing!
• Be careful to avoid the eye area. It is best not to use these products on skin that is infected or is experiencing other skin conditions unrelated to acne.
