1
Wash the entire face with antibacterial soap. Wash the face with warm water to open the pores, and rinse with cold water to close them. This will remove any dirt clogging the pores and keep it out.
-
2
Pat the face dry with a towel. Be careful not to touch the pimple. This could cause the acne to spread.

3
Place a handful of crushed ice onto a piece of aluminum foil. Wrap the foil around the ice to create a small packet. Cover the foil with a light cloth to keep it from getting too cold against the skin.

4
Place the cold packet over the pimple and press down so that the foil and the ice form a mold. Hold this in place for at least ten minutes. This will freeze the zit and force out any dirt remaining in the pores.
-
5
Apply a mixture of equal parts of toothpaste and lemon juice to the zit. This combination will dry out the pimple and relieve redness.

Wait two hours and repeat the process, starting at step one. Depending on how much time you have, you may want to repeat the process several times.
