Ever look in the mirror and realize that you have a gigantic zit, right before a big date? Or you're getting ready for an important job interview later in the week, and notice a pimple that you think can't go unnoticed? We've all been there at one time or another, and found ourselves wondering how to get rid of a zit fast.
In order to help, here are the methods I rely on.
Honey - Honey is fantastic because it works wonderfully to get rid of acne but isn't harsh in any on the skin, unlike almost all other acne treatments.
To use, simply put some honey onto the zit and let sit as long as you'd like (the longer the better), then wash off with warm water.
Make sure that you wash it all off, otherwise you'll be quite sticky.
Lemon - Depending on the severity of the zit and if it's open or not, this has the potential to sting.
Despite the stinging, it has fantastic effects.
Simply squeeze some fresh lemon juice and rub onto the zit and let sit for 15-30 minutes before washing off with warm water.
I like this method because the acid also helps your skin.
Garlic - If you're wondering how to get rid of a zit fast, this is the method for you.
Slice a fresh clove of garlic and rub onto your zit, then wash off very well after 5 minutes.
That's no typo, 5 minutes.
The sulphur in garlic can helps with acne can also cause blisters if left on too long, and the blisters take weeks to heal, so this method is kind of a last resort.
However, it works wonderfully.
