Nothing is more annoying than waking up on the morning of a big work presentation, special event, or something similar, only to discover that you have a giant pimple on your face. Pimples not only make you feel self-conscious, but they can also be painful and uncomfortable. Fortunately, there are a few ways to make a big pimple disappear in no time at all.
The first rule to remember: never pick the pimple! Picking or squeezing the pimple will only make it appear more irritated, plus you’re increasing the risk of bacteria entering the pimple and making it look even bigger. You’ll want to use a handy little product called an extractor tool instead. This little skin tool is designed to fit overtop of the pimple and remove it after applying gentle pressure.
Before using the extractor tool, you’ll firstly need to prep your skin. Use a cleanser, then rinse with warm water and gently pat your face dry. Next, apply a toner to your face using a cotton pad. Toners with salicylic acid as well as rosewater toner can help combat bacteria and lessen the chance of future breakouts.
After cleansing and toning your skin, it’s time to use the extractor tool. Ensure that the tool has been sterilized (you can simply use rubbing alcohol), then position the tool overtop of the zit. Gently move the tool back and forth while applying gentle pressure until the zit pops or is removed. Use a cotton pad and toner to then dab on the spot, and you can also use a zit cream to reduce inflammation. Now that you know this extremely simple process, you’ll be able to get rid of a big zit in no time at all!
