Medicines and other beauty products take a long time to work on your skin. But these methods can help you get rid of pimples in a very short time. Acne and pimples are a problem only until you find the solution that works for you.

1. Ice Cubes: Using ice cubes can be a very effective way to dry out pimples in a day or two. Ice is used to push out all the extra oil and microbes from the affected region which helps in drying the pimple out. But it can be used only for acne or pimple that has not yet infected fully.

Method: Wrap a cube in a piece of cloth and apply it on the affected region for a few seconds. After a few minutes, repeat the process.

2. Lemon Juice: Lemon juice is a great way to get rid of pimples. The citrus works as a germicide and kills all the bacteria in the affected area, thus slowly healing the pimple. It also rids the pimple of all the extra oil.

Method: Apply some lemon juice to a cotton swab or bud and apply it in the affected area. This is a more direct method. You can also apply it by mixing with other ingredients like cinnamon powder.

3. Toothpaste: Toothpaste may sound like a weird remedy, but it works miraculously on pimple. It achieves the speediest result among other remedies.

Method: Apply toothpaste (not gel based) on the affected area and leave it overnight. Wash it off with cold water in the morning.

4. Steam: Steam actually has a lot of advantages for your skin. Reducing pimples is just one of them. It opens and clears up the pores of your skin and flushes out all the impurities.

Method: Fill a container with water and heat it to a high temperature. Let the steam come in contact with your face. Do not touch the hot water. After about half an hour, just rinse your face with warm water. Apply oil-free moisturizer.

5. Aloe Vera Gel: Like steam, aloe vera is exceptionally good for your skin, and it reduces zits. It cools your skin and rejuvenates it. Gel obtained directly from the tree is recommended, but if it’s not available to you, there are a lot of options available in the market.

Method: Apply the gel in the affected area and let it rest for ten to fifteen minutes. Rinse with water.
