Does anyone know how to dry up zits fast?

Question

i know toothpaste works but the only one i have is cavity protection or something like that and it clearly doesn't work for me i cant go out to buy anything and i don't have rubbing alcohol so does anyone know anything that will work fast?

Answer 1

try a baking soda facial scrub i hear that works great to dry up pimples. you mix some water with some baking soda to form a paste and then apply for about 5-10 min and then wash off. be careful though. it can be VERY drying.

Answer 2

I honsetly know how you feel. I had really acne when I was 12 until I was about 14 (I'm 16 now).It wasn't that bad, but makeup didn't cover it and whenever an old zit went away a new one appeared somewhere else. I searched all over for fast working remedies including toothpaste, lemons, crushed advil, anything you name it. I also tried many drug store brands and Proactiv which were said to work but never did. Fianally my mom took me to the dermatologist. It sounds unnecessary, but once you are prescribed something topical your acne heals within a few weeks once the routine is down. Keep up with your treatment which will prevent future acne.

Answer 3

egg whites.

Answer 4

using toothpaste does not always work for everyone and the chemicals are not designed for your skin... they are very harsh.  What I usually do is dab a natural clay or charcoal mask (you can get it from Origins) on top of the zit and sleep with it on overnight.  The clay dries up all of the oil and you can rest comfortably knowing that you're not going to wake up with irritated skin from harsh chemicals.

Vodka

After Bite

Answer 6

Answer 7

hot water

Answer 8

.....well, toothpaste is the only thing in your house that i know has the right ingredient to dry up zits so they fall off....but you can try to go out and get some cortizone, or any cream that has a lil bit of acid in it. The acid totally dries zits.  

Answer 9

perfume. spray lots of perfume on it. i used to use that wayy before i foudn out about the toothpaste trick lol.

Answer 10

Well when I read your question, I automatically thought of tooth paste. And then when I read the details, you said no toothepaste lol. Well, maybe you could try mixing baking soda and water together so theres more baking soda than water (thicker). This might dry it out. Good Luck! And remember to keep your hands off of your face and wash it at least once a day.

Answer 11

rubbing alcohol or tooth paste.
