Toothpaste!

Dot a very small amount of toothpaste onto the pimple before bed, and when you wake up it should have drastically reduced in size. Moisturize your skin, and then apply make up as normal, including concealer if necessary!

Honey!

Dab a small amount of honey on the pimple as soon as the head becomes visible. Wrap a bandage around it, and go to sleep. When you wake up, it'll be gone! Again, moisturize afterwards!!

Eye Drops!

Refreshing eye drops, especially Visine, will reduce the redness and swelling of the pimple, which is perfect if you are already out and have a real emergency! Then cover in concealer if necessary.

Vinegar!

Use a very small amount, as it could sting otherwise. If you have sensitive skin, boil water in a pan and add vinegar. Boil, take off the heat and put your face over the pan.

Oatmeal!

Cook oatmeal, and apply to the face. Wait until its cool enough, first! Leave for around fifteen minutes and then wash off, the swelling and redness should be gone and the zip visibly reduced!

So as long as you follow the instructions, your pimple nightmare should turn into a dream! Be careful applying make up over a pimple, as it can make it worse, and make sure you moisturize skin afterwards, as drying it out can cause more spots.

m scared if toothpaste ruined my skin..then??

Sheila, Well mostly thanks to my make up cause they're covered all the time! And I take pics when there aren't many of them :P Thanks the same love :D

So garlic is in my remedy list too. Thanks Sheila :)

Sheila, Yeah I have a natural flair for these things. I always used to watch programs of make up artists doing make up. And I love experimenting with those things. I always get asked by my friends to do the work for them on Saturday nights! I also love Hairdressing which I always straighten my own! I guess it's such a shame I don't take a diploma course and start practicing on my own. Guess with my own work and personal life I really donâ€™t have time and for the moment no money to spare. : S

Suburbangrandma, Thanks love, same here. You're all part of my life as we speak and share views every day. I try to find some time every day to do what I love. Women's Talk is one of them :D Surly keeping up to date with staff and having a lot of friends would help :) I'm sorry about the Alzheimer, try to keep always positive and take care of your self :)
