]]>Waking up with a zit is never a nice thing, even if it’s an ordinary Tuesday and you have no big events in the foreseeable future.
The blemishes can still show up long after puberty and typically appear red and angry. But instead of you also getting red and angry, use this trick to calm you both down.
Simply squeeze some eyedrops onto a cotton bud and hold it gently against the offensive spot. Don’t rub the area as it can cause irritation (resulting in an even angrier pimple). You should see the redness starting to fade.
So, um, what happened?
Well, eyedrops include an ingredient called tetrahydrozoline hydrochloride which is a vasoconstrictor. In plain English, that means it has the power to narrow blood vessels, and in turn, reduce inflammation.
Although the redness may disappear, eyedrops don’t actually treat the pimple itself. Your skin can also get used to the tetrahydrozoline if used too often, so keep this trick in your bag for days you really need it.

]]>Acne is incredibly annoying. We all know that moment when you wake up on the day of a job interview, a party or simply a day at school and you find an annoying new guest on your chin. Fortunately, there are some natural and cheap tricks against these bad boys.
Aloe Vera cools down your skin and reduces inflammation. Toothpaste is the best solution: It’s quick and effective. It dries out the pimple and reduces its dimension. Less known as a pimple remedy is honey, it reduces the pimple and it heals it in the long-run.
We know it might sound a bit disgusting, but garlic can also help. Due to its high levels of antioxidants, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties, it can really make the difference.
Cucumber also works! It reduces the inflammation and the redness. Last but not least, you can always buy the tea tree oil. Simply apply the oil to the pimple or affected area with a cotton wool ball and you’ll see the results right the way!
No matter what you do to solve the problem, try not to touch your face and definitely DO NOT pop the pimple, it will only make it worse.
