How to Get Rid of Acne Within 24 Hours

1Try to avoid squeezing or popping it, unless it has an obvious white or yellow top to it. You're only increasing the swelling and may cause an infection.

Step2Apply an over-the-counter treatment with benzoyl peroxide in it. The peroxide releases oxygen that kills the bacteria in the acne. Make sure you apply it around the area with the acne to prevent your acne from spreading.

Step3Use a hot mask to widen pores and loosen dirt and bacteria in acne. Then use an astringent to rinse them away. Finally, use a splash of cold water to shrink your pores and prevent bacteria from re-entering your pores.

Step4Discuss products such as Zeno with your dermatologist. Zeno claims to get rid of acne by heating up the acne. It claims to get rid of acne within a few hours.

Step5Remember that no one is 100 percent sure what causes acne. Acne likely appears for a variety of reasons including hormones, stress, using oily products, not removing make-up and simple toxins in your food and environment. To get rid of acne completely, you may need to change your life style.

Answer 4

I am a Registered Nurse and I specialize in skin care and teen acne.

Your question is very broad and you need to get professional advice. I will explain why it's a broad question!

Your age plays a role! How old are you? Do you always have breakouts?

However, acne can result from several factors such an increase in hormone levels. In males testosterone or androgens. In females, androgens respectively. The increase in androgen levels can stimulate the oil glands to become enlarged and thus more oil production is produced. An increased oil production can clog the pores with oil or sebum ( white thick substance) which cause the cell walls of the pores in the skin to breakdown. This process allows bacteria to form and thus breakouts develop.

Genetics may also be a cause. It is a myth that greasy food or chocolate causes breakouts.

However, using make-up sponges that are not changed or washed often can contaminate the pores with bacteria which may develop into acneic breakouts.

If you are a teenager ( which I assume that you are) your hormones play a definite role in your breakouts.

If you have severe breakouts than you might need medication. There are many factors.

The most important thing is that you need products that are AGE APPROPRIATE! Every age group has different products appropriate for them. If you are young than you need milder products as to not dry out your beautiful young skin.

The problem with commercial skin products is that they are manufactured for MASSES OF PEOPLE and are not specifically made for different peoples' needs.

Your skin type is different than mine and your age differs from mine so how is it logical that we both use the same skin product for breakouts. We need different strengths of cleansers and toners. Do you kind of understand what I am getting at?

Here is my STRONG SUGGESTION for you. I refer all my students and patients to this website:

www.aboutyourskincare.com

You need to consult with professionals and on this website YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS FOR FREE AND A SKIN EXPERT/PHYSICIAN WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. It would be a shame if you dont take advantage of this free service.

Lastly, they have incredible products for breakouts and they make them specifically for every kind of skin type. That means that if your breakouts are more severe than mine, than while we both will buy the same product yours will have stronger ingredients than mine will.

They have a mild glycolic acid cleanser that's great for your type of skin and also a DRYING LOTION ( I have 3 bottles) that you put directly on your breakouts and the next day it's gone. It's truely magic in a bottle.

A basic guideline for properly taking care of your skin is this ( now if you're a young girl you will need fewer products than this):

Night time:

1. Exfoliate the skin

2. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser

3. Mild Glycolic Acid Toner ( cleans off the excess debris and balances the PH level of the skin).

4. Drying Lotion used only on breakouts

5. Moisturizer

Morning:

1. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser

2. Moisturizing cream

The above is a standard you may need to only use one or two products. Visit: www.aboutyourskincare.com

As I suggested and click on the ASK FOR FREE section send them an email and you will get free expert skin care advice.

Answer 6

You can go to a store like Target or Walmart. There is a Face Cleanser called Cetaphil: Daily Facial Cleanser. You rinse your face then you pump one pump of the cleanser you rub it on your face. Rinse it all off your face. Then you use a Alcohol-Free Toner but Neutrogena. You can use a cotton ball to dab it on your face. Do this method twice a day. It really works!! I use this. You can do this before and after school.

I added some pics so you know what to look for in the store-

i have acne too, and sorry, but there's nothing to make your face immediatly clear up.  i've had a dermatologist for a couple years now, and my acne STILL persists.  it's kinda genetic in my family, maybe yours too.  just try to wash your face whenever it feels greasy, maybe try weekly facials, that seems to help me keep my face cleaner.  and there is no "good zit cream".  all you can do is avoid getting new acne and wait for the old acne to go away, nothing makes them go away, things can only prevent new breakouts.  and as far as humiliation goes, you won't be the only person with acne.  i know these are hard facts to sink in, but that's life i guess...

Answer 9

Probably the most useful lifestyle changes you can make are to apply hot compresses to pustules and cysts and never to pick or squeeze pimples. Playing with or popping pimples, no matter how careful and clean you are, nearly always makes bumps stay redder and bumpier longer. People often refer to redness as "scarring," but fortunately it usually isn't in the permanent sense. It's just a mark that takes months to fade if left entirely alone.
