Acne never picks the right time to rear its ugly head. (Wait, there really isn't a right time, is there?) Most times you just want to start to treat the pimple instead of running out to the store to find an acne treatment.
Don't worry if you don't have any spot treatments on hand, just go to your pantry or medicine cabinet, and chances are good you'll find one of the following ingredients that you can use to kick-start the process of healing. Who knew it was this easy?
Toothpaste
Dab a bit of white cream toothpaste on your pimple and it will dry it up much quicker. If you put it on before you go to bed, it can do its work while you sleep. If you find your pimple in the morning and you're just hanging out at home, go ahead and apply it during the day; just don't leave home with a big white spot on your face!
Visine Eye Drops
While this won't heal your pimple, it will instantly get rid of the redness. Just put a drop on your finger or a Q-tip and hold it on for a few seconds.
Neosporin
This is an antibiotic, which will help kill the bacteria that causes acne. Apply before bed and your pimple will have a much shorter life.
Honey
Honey has antibacterial properties to it that make it perfect for a gentle and natural acne healer. If acne is a regular problem, you can use this for a weekly mask.
Baking Soda
To make a baking soda paste, add a couple drops of water at a time to a small scoop of baking soda. When it's as thick as a paste, go ahead and apply it to your pimple and let it dry before rinsing off. You can also use it as a gentle all over body or face scrub.
Garlic
Garlic not only contains antibiotics to heal your acne, but it also contains anti-inflammatory properties to reduce the swelling. Sure, it may not smell the best, but it works!
Alum
You can get Alum in a block, pencil, or even in the spice aisle at the grocery store. It's a white powder that works wonders against not only acne, but also canker sores as well.
Potatoes
Cut a slice of white potato and hold it over your pimple for a good 5 to 7 minutes. This will help with the redness, swelling and healing of your pimple.
Ice Cubes
Again, this is not going to heal your pimple faster, but it's a quick fix when it comes to concealing it right before you head out. Leave it on for a good minute or two to reduce swelling and redness.
Crushed Aspirin
Take an aspirin and carefully crush it. Add a few drops of water to make a paste and apply just to your pimples. Leave it on until it has dried thoroughly, and then wash your face with warm water. This will shorten the life of your pimple.
痘痘們冒出它們丑陋的頭時(shí)從來(lái)都不挑時(shí)間。(等等,應(yīng)該是沒有一個(gè)時(shí)間是適合長(zhǎng)痘痘的,不是嗎?)大多數(shù)時(shí)候你都想自己自己處理這些小痘而不是沖到藥店去尋找一款祛痘藥方。
如果手頭沒有祛痘藥方也不要著急這時(shí)只需要到廚房里或是藥箱里找一下,很可能找到如下的東西。這時(shí)就可以開始進(jìn)行痘痘治療過(guò)程了。就這么簡(jiǎn)單!
牙膏
擦一點(diǎn)白色膏體在你的痘痘上,這會(huì)使痘痘干得更快。如果能夠在睡前涂上,那么牙膏就會(huì)在睡眠中起作用。如果是在早上發(fā)現(xiàn)痘痘的并且準(zhǔn)備一天都呆在家,那么不用猶豫直接涂上它;期間不要頂著個(gè)大大的白痘離開家就行了。
Visine滴眼液
盡管這個(gè)并不會(huì)治愈痘痘,但是會(huì)消褪紅腫。滴一滴到手指上或棉簽上然后放在痘痘上敷幾秒就行了。
Neosprin藥膏
這是一種抗生素藥膏,能夠幫助上滅那些造成痘痘的細(xì)菌。在上床之前擦一點(diǎn)能夠更快治愈痘痘。
蜂蜜
蜂蜜具有抗菌性,它幫助治愈細(xì)小的痘痘效果很好。如果長(zhǎng)痘痘對(duì)于你來(lái)說(shuō)是經(jīng)常性問(wèn)題,那么每周一次的蜂蜜面膜對(duì)你來(lái)說(shuō)必不可少。
小蘇打
自制小蘇打膏體。在一小勺的小蘇打粉中加一次性加幾滴水。當(dāng)其達(dá)到膏體的濃稠度時(shí),就可以直接將其涂在痘痘上,待其干燥后再將其洗掉。當(dāng)然還可以用于全身和臉部護(hù)膚。
大蒜
大蒜不僅含有抗生素能夠治愈你的痘痘,它還具有抗炎功能能夠減輕紅腫。當(dāng)然,雖然它的味道聞起來(lái)不好,但是有奇效。
明礬
在石塊中,鉛筆中甚至是在雜貨店的香料專柜都可以弄到明礬。明礬是一種白色粉末,它不僅可以治療痘痘,對(duì)潰瘍所引起的疼痛也有治療功效。
土豆
切一片土豆然后將其放在痘痘上5到7分鐘。這樣有助于減輕紅腫治愈痘痘。
冰塊
和前面的滴眼液一樣,雖然并不能很快治愈痘痘。但是在你急著出門的時(shí)候。它能夠快速遮掩痘痘在。將其敷在痘痘處一兩分鐘,能夠減輕紅腫。
阿司匹林粉末
拿一片阿司匹林然后將其磨碎。加幾滴清水使其成膏體狀,然后將其涂在痘痘上。待其完全干透,用溫水將臉洗凈。這樣可以快速消滅痘痘。
