Use Ice On The Pimples
One of the easiest ways to reduce the effects of acne is applying ice on them.
Wrap ice in a piece of cloth and press it against them for three to four minutes.
Repeat this a number of times throughout the day to give your skin a soothing feeling and reduce the swelling while at it.
Apply Crushed Aspirin To The Pimples
Aspirin can be a better solution to getting rid of skin breakout since it contains salicylic acid, which is known for removing excess oil and dead skin.
Grind one to two aspirin tablets and mix with several water drops to create the paste.
Using a piece of cloth, dab the paste directly on the pimples.
Leave the paste on the affected area for 10 to 15 minutes then rinse thoroughly with warm water.
This will help in reducing the swelling and redness on your skin and also make the pimple less painful.

Conceal Pimples With Makeup Containing Salicylic Acid
There are countless makeup products that can help you to safely cover up blemishes on your skin while simultaneously combatting them.
Be careful when looking at ingredients used for Makeup for Acne-Prone Skin.
Makeup for acne-prone skin usually contains the same ingredients found in over-the-counter treatments; with salicylic acid being one of the most common.
It is important to note that acne-fighting foundations with salicylic acid offer natural-looking coverage for pimples while treating existing acne and pimples and preventing new outbreaks.
Neutrogena, E.L. F., and Clinique, are just a few major brands that offer these formulations.
Other common ingredients to look for are sulfur, which, like salicylic acid, reduces oil and unclogs pores, and hyaluronic acid, which combats the drying effect of other ingredients and keeps moisture in the skin.
