Decrease the Size of a Pimple Overnight

Do you have a HUGE pimple on your face? Don't pop it! This how-to will teach you how to decrease the size and redness of a pimple overnight so it will be perfect for school/work the next day!

Steps

 * 1)  Wash your hands and your face. Use water AND soap!
 * 2)  Squeeze out a pea-sized dab of toothpaste onto your forefinger.
 * 3)  Apply it to your pimple(s). If your face is wet, the toothpaste will not stick. So, make sure your face is dry before applying it.
 * 4)  Go to sleep. Be sure not to lay with your head burried into your pillow or the toothpaste will rub off.
 * 5)  After a few minutes, the toothpaste will dry on your face and you can sleep with it on.
 * 6)  When you wake up, use warm water and a towel to gently wipe off the toothpaste. Be VERY careful when doing this! If you rub too hard, the pimple will get red again and will increase in size.
 * 7)  You should notice that the size and redness of the pimple have noticably decreased.

Tips

 * Do this before you go to sleep so that you won't sweat off the toothpaste.
 * If you need to decrease the size of a pimple for an event later that day, apply the toothpaste and rip off a small piece of a paper towel and put it on top of the toothpaste.

Warnings

 * If the toothpaste irritates your skin, stop using it! It's normal for it to feel cool/icey when you first apply it.
 * Don't forget about the toothpaste in the morning!

Things You'll Need
