Whether you have a date later this afternoon, or school tomorrow morning, it's always a good idea to know how to reduce a pimple's size. In my opinion, I consider the following information to be a part of my home acne treatment article, so feel free to check that out as well.
I have effectively used the following tips to reduce:
- Redness
- Size
- & Inflammation
First, avoid making it worse!
- Picking
- Popping
- Scratching
- Trying to shave off acne
Picking - Skin picking is very common amongst individuals who won't their zit gone! However, doing this will often make your zit larger and even more noticeable than before. I do not recommend it!
Popping - Popping a zit is okay, when it's ready to pop. If it's not a whitehead, you're wasting your time. Leave it alone, otherwise, you'll make it worse!
Scratching - Like picking, scratching will also make your zit larger!
Shaving off - Again, you'll want to avoid doing this at all costs. Shave around your blemish to avoid making it even larger!
Ways to Reduce Pimple Size
- Ice Acne! Reduce Visibility
- Drink water for Acne Relief!
- Spot treatment
- Popping it!
- Not playing with it.
- Toothpaste?
Ice - It's actually one of the best ways to reduce redness, size, and inflammation. Take ice and a damp cloth and apply it to your pimple for 10 minutes once every hour. Never apply to your entire face.
Drink Water - Although this treatment takes a night or so, drinking water is actually a great way to reduce size and inflammation.
Spot Treatment - This is actually better to use when you first begin to see a zit forming. When you do, apply your treatment to the area to reduce future size and redness, or keep the pimple away altogether.
Popping It - If your zit turns into a whitehead. It's ready to pop. Doing so correctly, will decrease the overall size! Read the safest way to pop a pimple.
Not Playing With It - Finally, picking, popping, attempting to scratch off, or otherwise remove the pimple when it is not a whitehead, will usually make it larger and more noticeable.
Toothpaste - Update - It's said that toothpaste on a pimple overnight will help to reduce a zits overall size. In my opinion, it makes it worse.
Hope this helped!
