Step 1:
Wrap a few ice cubes in a clean cloth and place them directly on the acne, making sure not to press too hard because too much pressure can cause the pimple to break apart causing further redness and the spread of bacteria.

  • Cold temperatures slow blood circulation and reduce swelling and redness in the affected tissues.
    Many athletes use cold treatments (such as local ice and ice baths) to treat inflammation caused by injuries during sports.

Step 2:
Using eye drops containing tetrahydrozoline hydrochloride helps to get rid of redness. Put a small amount of eye drops on a cotton pad and gently place it on the pimples.
It is preferable to freeze the cotton ball containing the drops before placing it on the pimples because the cold reduces inflammation, and tetrahydrozoline hydrochloride in eye drops helps reduce redness.
Avoid rubbing the whole face because it causes more redness, and only rub the affected areas, and do not use this technique too often because it can give a negative effect.

Step 3:
Aspirin contains salicylic acid, which is one of the main ingredients in many topical ointments that are used to treat acne because it has anti-inflammatory properties.
Crush aspirin pills with a little water to form a paste and put it on the inflamed area and leave it for 10 minutes, then rinse the face with lukewarm water.

Step 4:

  • Toothpaste contains silica, which helps dry out pimples.
  • Cover the pimples with a thin layer of toothpaste before bed, leave it to dry, leave it overnight and wash it off in the morning.
  • Avoid using toothpaste that contains menthol or fluoride because these ingredients increase irritation and redness.

Step 5:
Lemon juice contains citric acid that helps fight acne bacteria, and studies show that citric acid is a natural skin-lightening ingredient, which can help reduce redness.
Soak a cotton ball in lemon juice and put it directly on the pimple at night.
Avoid exposure to the sun after applying lemon juice to the skin, because lemon juice causes dryness of the skin and makes it more susceptible to sun damage.
Use lemon juice only at night, and wash it off in the morning.
Lemon juice may interfere with some acne medications, and caution should be exercised in its use.

Step 6:
Using hot compresses on acne helps open pores and cleanse the skin of oils, dirt and dead skin.
Soak a towel in hot water so that the temperature of the skin can bear it and put it on the acne for 30-60 seconds.
Rubbing the face with a hot towel helps remove oils and bacteria from the skin that cause redness of pimples.

Go to the pharmacy and get a product that reduces redness and put it on pimples.
