So you go to bed, you wake up the next day, drag yourself into the bathroom,
and BOOM! Hundreds of pimples all over your face!(well, maybe not hundreds :P) You wash your face a few times
to try to and at least reduce some of the redness. I know how you feel, and I found a way
of reducing the redness if you have some extra time to spare.
The first thing you should NOT do is squeeze the spots, no matter how tempting it is to do so,
because they tend to bleed and scab over, which looks even WORSE, and sometimes it is just painful. What you should
do is steam your face. Steaming your face opens the pores and helps the spots to heal by getting rid of some of the dirt.
If you don't have a face steamer, or enough time(Those stressful minutes before work or school!)
you could soak a face cloth in some hot water and press it against the area which has spots.
If you do this for 10-20 minutes it will help to open the pores on your skin.
Now after you have done all of that, you should rinse your face with some cold water, this will cause the blood
vessels in your skin to contract and will reduce some of the redness. If you want to reduce the redness further you can get
some ice, or anything which is cold(but preferably not something you will eat later, like an ice cream :P),
and press it against the area with spots, this will reduce the redness
even further. I discovered this accidentally when I spent a few hours out in the snow,
and the cold really healed my face! So alternatively if you have enough time, and snow,
go sledging for a few hours or have a snowball fight with some friends. You may as well have fun while you are
getting rid of your spots! Or if it is just a cold day you could go for a walk.
I don't really like using over the counter products since they normally cost quite a fair bit of money,
and they never really work very well, and your skin can become resistant to them, but you could always try this:
Buy some Germoline and put it on the spots,
but don't rub it in(make sure you aren't expecting anyone to visit!). This seems to be a bit more effective than rubbing it in.
I also read that harsh skin drying products are very bad for spots, because it makes them go crusty, and damages your
skin which just lets even more spots develop.
Also try and identify what is causing your spots, for me it was while I would be using the computer, and I used to touch
my face while I was using it, and this is what caused my spots, try and identify what is causing them for you and try to
prevent it from happening.
The only problem is that this will only solve the problem for a short time, you will have to keep doing this over and over,
or there is this guide which will get rid of spots permanently in only 3 days!
