I would recommend lots of water to start then a little neat tea tree oil dabbed on.

If you have oily skin all over your face, use a cleanser that contains benzoil peroxide or salicylic acid. Don't scrub - irritated skin swells around the pores, which can cause breakouts. Skip toner unless your face is very oily, otherwise it might dry out the skin. Apply a topical acne treatment containing benzoyl peroxide, glycolic acid, or salicylic acid over your entire face, not just where blemishes have already erupted. At night, use a drying spot-treatment product and dab oil-free moisturizer on dry areas. In the morning, apply an oil-free sunscreen gel over the entire face. Use a small makeup brush to dab concealer or cream foundation (in the exact same shade as your skin) directly onto the blemish. Use a fingertip to wipe away excess concealer around the blemish and, if necessary, apply another coat of concealer. If the makeup becomes cakey, carefully wipe it off and start over. gently brush powder (in the exact same shade as your skin) on top of the concealer.
* If you have oily skin and feel that you need toner, apply it only on the T-zone, and rinse it off afterward (leaving it on can dry the skin). Use a clay mask as often as every three days to absorb excess oil.
* To stop redness and swelling in an emergency situation (job interview, wedding), ask your doctor for a cortisone injection. It calms down a pimple almost instantly.
* If you can't get to your dermatologist (or needles make you squemish), temporarily reduce redness and swelling by dabbing on a drop of drugstore cortisone cream, Preparation H, or Vasocon-A eyedrops.

Use a facial scrub at least once a day (to prevent more breakouts)
Take a little bit of toothpaste are rub it in the pimples in slow small circles until no trace of the toothpick is left. Do this as often as you can.
Also, tone down on your makeup for the next few days. Don't touch concealer/foundation and your face. [ Imperialistic's advice column | Ask Imperialistic A Question ]

Wll something I recomend is clearasil or regular soap. Get a damp towel and rub some soap and it them scrub your face with it. Let it dry a while them wrince it off. After that put some rubbing alcohol on the pimples(if you popped em it WILL BURN but not for a long time)repeat this every morning and night and soon ur pimples will be gone...but just because there not there for a day or two dosnt mean theyre officaly gone they will come back soo use this process even if you hopefully get rid of them!! This works for me. Hope i helped!!! ~*XoX*~ [ xOx_LoOvE_xOx's advice column | Ask xOx_LoOvE_xOx A Question ]
