Clean your face. The first step to answering the question ” How
do I get rid of a pimple ” is a clean face. Make sure your cleanser is
unscented and free from oils. Bacteria buildup under the skin is where
acne starts, so it is important to remove fragrances, oils, and anything
else that will irritate acne. A cleanser with 2% salicylic acid or 2.5%
benzoyl peroxide is usually perfect to get rid of pimples. The Proactiv
renewing cleanser is a great cleanser with 2.5% benzoyl peroxide, and
the Proactive deep cleansing wash contains a 2% salicylic acid, and also
works great.

Treat the problem. Treating the pimples is a 3 part process. First,
use an acne treatment with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid and gently
massage it into your face. Don’t work on just the acne areas, be sure
to treat your entire face. (if you are treating your back, cover the
area all the area within 3 inches of the pimple or breakout). Second,
use a spot treatment method when you go to sleep. A dab of toothpaste or
egg white directly on the pimple will dry it out by morning. Third, use
an oil free sunscreen on your face the next morning.

Conceal whatever is left. Now, most of your acne will be dried up and
clearing out. If there are any red spots left, you can use an eye drop
solution such as visine directly on the pimple, A hemorrhoid cream will
also work (some people swear by this). Then, you can use a concealer
that matches your skin color. Put it directly on the pimple, and ONLY
use enough to hide the pimple. Heavy makeup can make things worse.
