How to Reduce Pimple Redness and Size (Aspirin Method)


If you have a sudden, monster zit that you want to get rid of, you can use a crushed aspirin in water to reduce its size and redness. Be very careful when using this treatment, however, as the long-term affects of aspirin usage like this are not known. However, it is known that aspirin is a blood-thinner and using too many aspirins on your face (where your skin will absorb it into your bloodstream) can be bad for you.

Using Aspirin on Your Face

1
Crush 1 aspirin. You need it to be fully crushed for this to work well. You can use 1 to 3 aspirins, but do not use much more than that. Remember, just as you wouldn't swallow a bunch of aspirin without asking a doctor, you don't want to put a bunch of aspirin on your face without talking to a doctor.
Using more than a couple aspirins, especially within a short period of time (like 5 or 10 aspirins per day), can lead to blood-thinning issues as it is absorbed into your bloodstream. While it won't cause ulcers, that much aspirin being absorbed into your blood stream is not good

2
Mix the crushed aspirin with water. You'll want 2 to 3 parts water to 1 part aspirin. You want to have a thick, somewhat gritty paste, which shouldn't take more than a few drops of water (since you're only using 1 aspirin).

3
Apply the paste directly on the pimple(s). Make sure to use a clean Q-tip, or, if you prefer to use a finger, wash it thoroughly with soap and / or rubbing alcohol first to ensure that you don't add new bacteria to your skin.

4
Keep the aspirin there for 15 minutes. You do not want to leave aspirin on your skin for longer than 15 minutes. Otherwise your skin will absorb a lot of aspirin into your bloodstream, where it will remain for awhile

5
Use a clean, wet tissue to remove the aspirin. This can also be an opportunity for light, gentle exfoliation.

Using More Natural Pimple Reducers

1
Use tea-tree oil. Tea tree oil can actually work better than benzoyl peroxide in reducing lesions and fighting acne.[3] Apply a little tea tree oil to your pimple until it goes away.

2
Apply a raw potato slice to your skin. Raw potatoes can act as anti-inflammatory, if you apply them to your skin. Leave it on for a few minutes and then wash the potato residue off your skin with cold water.
