Pimples can be a real pain in the neck, literally. They’re not only unattractive but also painful and can leave nasty scars if you don’t treat them properly. There are many causes of pimples and they can occur anywhere, including the neck.
The most common cause of neck pimples is acne. Acne can be triggered by a number of factors, including hormones and stress.
Fortunately, there are some simple steps you can take to get rid of those pimples in five minutes or less without having to go through the hassle of making an appointment with the dermatologist:
Toothpaste
The next time you get a pimple, grab the toothpaste and apply it to the affected area. Leave it on for about 5 minutes before washing it off with water. Repeat this process daily until your pimples clear up.
If you suffer from frequent breakouts, consider using toothpaste every other day instead of every day to avoid drying out your skin too much. Use only non-minty toothpastes as they are less likely to cause irritation than minty varieties like Colgate Total Advanced Pro-Health Whitening Fresh Mint Gel Toothpaste (our top pick). You’ll also want to look for products that contain salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide if possible—those chemicals are proven acne fighters!
Ice
Ice is one of the best ways to get rid of acne and pimples. The cold can help reduce inflammation, swelling, redness and pain (which makes it great for sensitive skin). It also helps numb your skin so that you’re not as aware of any discomfort.
The easiest way to use ice is by making an ice pack with a clean cloth and water—simply wet the cloth and put it in the freezer until it hardens enough to be used on your face. When you’re ready to apply it, remove the cloth from its plastic baggie so that there’s no moisture trapped inside; then place the ice directly onto your skin or pop some cubes into a small container or jar before pressing them onto your face with a ziplock bag clip (as shown above). Finally, leave the cold on for about five minutes before removing it—and if you have particularly stubborn blemishes like me, wait at least 30 minutes before applying makeup overtop!
Without ice
Using a hot towel or compress is a great way to draw out impurities and clear up your skin. This can be done by taking a clean washcloth, soaking it with hot water, and applying it directly to the affected area for 5 minutes. You can also use this method on pimples that are not inflamed yet; just leave the wet cloth on your face until you feel it cool off.
If you want to go one step further, try using an acne spot treatment gel after cleansing and drying your face. Squeeze some of the product onto your fingers and gently apply it over any areas with active breakouts (but not too much—you don’t want them covered entirely). Then finish off by following up with moisturizer or sunscreen to protect from sun damage!
Naturally
There are many natural ways to get rid of pimples. One way is through the use of aloe vera, which is known for its healing properties. Aloe vera contains compounds that can reduce inflammation and help heal wounds faster than other substances.
Another natural remedy that can be used to get rid of pimples is tea tree oil because it acts as an antiseptic against bacteria and germs, helping you prevent acne from getting worse or spreading to other parts of your face or body. Tea tree oil has also been shown to speed up healing time so you’ll have less visible scars left behind from past blemishes.
Honey
- Apply honey directly to the pimple. It’s best to use a cotton swab for this purpose, but you can also use a q-tip or even your finger (though you may be better off with the swab).
- Let the honey sit on your skin for about 5 minutes before washing it off with warm water and soap. Be sure to get your hands clean as well—the last thing you want is to transfer dirt from them onto your face!
- Pat dry with a towel, then apply moisturizer if needed!
DIY
There are quite a few ways to get rid of pimples at home. Here’s a list of tried-and-tested ingredients that can help you get rid of zits in no time.
- Baking soda and water
Baking soda is one of the most effective remedies for acne. Mix baking soda with water to form a paste, then apply it on your face for about 20 minutes before washing off with lukewarm water. You can also use this mixture as an exfoliant and rub gently onto your skin before washing off with cold water.* Lemon juice
Lemon juice contains citric acid, which helps remove dead skin cells from the surface of your skin, making way for new ones to grow.* Turmeric
Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties that can calm inflammation and reduce redness.* Coconut oil
Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is a natural anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, anti-bacterial, antiviral and antifungal. Aloe vera contains antimicrobial properties that help prevent infections. The gel inside of the leaf can be used to treat sunburns and other skin irritations. For acne prone skin it helps clear breakouts by cleaning out pores while preventing new breakouts from forming without drying out your face like many over the counter products do!
Here is how you use aloe vera: After washing your face take a piece of aloe leaf (you’ll want about 4″x4″) and cut it open lengthwise using a knife or scissors then peel back one side exposing all inner gel (it should look like yellowish mucus). Now apply this on your pimples with fingers then let sit for about 5 minutes before washing off with water only; repeat as needed throughout day until pimple goes away!
You can get rid of pimples in five minutes with this easy advice.
There are many ways to get rid of pimples, but it can sometimes be difficult to find the right solution. Fortunately, you don’t have to live with pimples forever. If you want a quick way to get rid of pimples, read on!
- Toothpaste:
One of the best-known ways to remove acne is using toothpaste. This method works by drying out the skin and killing bacteria that causes acne. All you need is a small amount of toothpaste and some time for it to dry completely before washing your face again with warm water or soap (or whatever else you normally use). Once it dries completely, wash away any excess toothpaste using warm water or soap (etc.).
- Ice cubes:
Ice cubes also work as an anti-acne treatment because they help remove blackheads from clogged pores without causing damage or irritation like other methods might do if applied incorrectly
