    First Method: Hot Compress

    --Use the hot washcloth method only if your pimple has broken the surface of your skin (if your zit is a white head, black head, oozing, or you just really, really, want to pop it)

    --First, scrub your skin with a quality face wash

    --Soak a washcloth (or cotton ball, paper towel) in hot water

    --Use the washcloth on your zit for at least 20-30 minutes, re soaking it in hot water again when needed.

    --Dry your skin by patting gently with a dry washcloth

    --Now the tricky part - popping the pimple. It should look waterlogged by now, and will be easy to pop, just make sure NOT to press down, as this will force bacteria deeper inside the pimple causing a bigger zit.

    -Apply some benzyl peroxide to the zit (or any treatment cream you have) right after you pop it. This will remove any excess bacteria.

    Second Method: Freezing

    -- This is the fastest method to use if your zit is still beneath the skin - if its not a white head or black head, and there is no puss coming out of it (gross I know).

    -- First, wash your face like you normally would with an acne cleanser

    --Now that you've removed any surface oils, use a frozen ice pack to freeze the pimple. Don't worry if you can't find a freeze pack, you can easily create one by wrapping some ice in foil.

    --Leave the ice on the pimple for 10 minutes

    --As soon as the time has passed or you can't take the cold anymore, you can remove the ice pack and immediately rub some benzyl peroxide on the zit.

    --Follow these steps again every 5 hours

    The way this process works is that by freezing the pimple, you are preventing any more oils and bacteria from spreading and causing a bigger zit. The benzyl peroxide is essential because after the ice pack is used, it helps to dry up any oils that may have spread. If you do this correctly at least 3 times in one day, your pimple should be gone by the next day.

    Here are some tips to follow that you probably never knew help cure acne:

    #1. The single most important thing you need to be able to cure your acne is to know what is causing it in the first place. Learn the cause of your acne - and you know the cure.

    #2. Try to stay as hydrated as possible. Most people do not know that dehydration is one of the top 3 causes of acne.

    #3. Avoid caffeine. Its kept very hush-hush that caffeine is one of the leading causes of acne. It messes with your hormones, which leads to break-outs!
