Flesh Eating Unicorn - I know you wouldn't like to read all of this but these home remedies might help you!
Toothpaste Use the non-gel kind. (Any white toothpaste, eg. Colgate) Squeeze a little dab of it onto a clean finger and apply to the pimple. Since toothpaste dries over night, it reduces inflammation in your pimple, allowing the swelling to go down. It also pulls pus out from the pimple.
Baking Soda A paste made of baking soda and water offers the same benefits of toothpaste and is a great alternative if you just don’t feel look putting something sticky and minty on your skin. Allow the baking soda paste to stay on your skin overnight to fully dry out the pimple.
White Vinegar There is a reason many face wash products smell so bitter—acid. The acidity of white vinegar can actually dissolve pus within a zit. Since it’s the puss that causes the pimple to be swollen, the pimple will reduce in size once the pus is pulled out. Put a little bit onto a cotton swap and pat it on the pimple.
Ice You put an icepack on an injury to reduce inflammation. Well, consider that pimple an injury. And it is one to your ego, right? Rub an ice cube over any puffy or red areas of your skin to reduce inflammation.
Visine Really any product meant to reduce redness in your eyes will work. These products restrict blood vessels, pulling blood away from the surface and taking away color. Eye-drop products can do the same for a pimple.
Hot honey mask Put a tablespoon of honey in a small container, put in your microwave and heat it up for 5 seconds. Apply on your face. Rinse off in 15-20 minutes.
St. Ives Apricot Scrub. By far my favourite scrub. Use it once a day.
School starts in 3 days and I have pimples all over my face
