Acne never picks the right time to rear its unsightly head. (Wait, there really isn’t a right time, is there?) Most times you just want to begin to treat the pimple instead of running out to the store to find an acne treatment.
Don’t worry if you don’t have any spot treatments on hand, just go to your pantry or medicine cabinet, and chances are good you’ll find one of these homemade acne treatments so you can use to kick-start the process of healing. Who knew it was this easy?
Toothpaste
Dab a bit of white cream toothpaste on your pimple and it will dry it up much quicker. If you place it on before you go to bed, it can do its work while you sleep. If you find your pimple in the morning and you’re just hanging out at home, go ahead and apply it during the day; just don’t leave home with a huge white spot on your face!
haha hope it helped!!!

These are safe as well as quite easy on your pocket.
Step1
Resist the urge to attack when these plugged sebaceous glands pop up. In other words, don’t pop your pimples, this can cause infections and even scarring.
Step2
Keep in mind that a combination of hormonal activity, a buildup of bacteria and the shedding of dead skin cells causes pimples. Do what you can to prevent a breakout by establishing a skin-care routine appropriate for your skin type.
Step3
Have patience. It could take up to one month for a blemish to disappear completely. The less you poke at it, the better.
Step4
Buy an antibacterial, oil-free concealer that can blend the redness of the pimple into your own skin color. Green shades tend to offset redness the best. (This might not be an option for those who don’t wear makeup.)
Step5
Try a facial mud mask. This may shrink a pimple.
Step6
Realize that despite the happy teens in the commercials, “zit zapping” solutions, medications you apply directly to pimples, don’t do much more than dry out the top layer of skin covering the pimples. These medications don’t provide a long-term cure.
Step7
If you are going to break the rules by “extracting the blemish,” aesthetician-speak for popping your pimple, wash your hands, then lightly squeeze the top of the pimple with a tissue or cotton swab. Clean the area thoroughly when you’re done. If nothing happens, leave the pimple alone until it’s ready to pop.
Step8
Apply a benzol peroxide acne medication to the pimple and avoid applying medication to the surrounding area.
