Stop Popping Your Pimples! Alternatives to Squeezing That Zit

Aug. 30, 2009 - PRLog -- Popping a pimple is one of the most common ways of attacking that zit. But for those of you who dread the sight of needles, not to worry. There are noninvasive and easy alternatives in removing pimples right in your own homes. And you don't have to resort to chemical medications.  These tips are quick and are useful in times when that big date or an important party is coming up fast!

1.    Make use of a cold compress. Put an ice pack over the pimple for at least 15 minutes with 5-minute intervals until you see a change in the size of the pimple. The cold temperature reduces the blood flow into the area by constricting the blood vessels therefore reducing the redness and the swelling.

2.    Apply toothpaste on the infected area. Aside form the cooling affect it has on the skin (reducing the pain), there are also ingredients in toothpaste that can help reduce the swelling in a short period of time. If you have the luxury of time, you can leave the toothpaste on overnight and wash it away with cold water the following morning.

3.    If you do not have the luxury of time, you can get your good old concealer to hide the redness and the swelling. This is a smart way to hide that ugly zit temporarily if you are getting late for a party or a big date.

4.    And finally, the best way to get rid of pimples is to stop them dead in their tracks even before they erupt. So be careful in what you apply on your face (make-up, creams, etc.). Find hypoallergenic and non-oil based products that are gentler to your skin.
