How to remove redness from acne fast? Learn from our article!

Pimple can cause redness even before it appears on the surface, and then remain in the form of a scar on the skin and a long time after. Depending on the stage of inflammation, one can either prevent its appearance, or accelerate healing or as soon as possible get rid of the consequences. To do this, pharmacy products, folk recipes and even salon procedures will help.

How to quickly remove redness from acne

The first signs of the appearance of a pimple are itchy skin and a slight reddening. At this stage, removing the problem is easiest, because it's enough to start using a special tool in time. If the pimple has already jumped, then the removal of redness can take several days.

How to prevent a rash with redness

If the skin has slight reddening, and the person thus itches, then soon a subcutaneous pimple will appear on this place, which will be very difficult to remove. As soon as the first signs of acne appear, you need to cleanse your skin with a face wash and use a drug that is applied to the rash point. They can be divided into 3 groups:

• pharmacy gels and ointments;
• alcohol solutions;
• express means from the store.

The pharmacy sells very effective means in tubes that work due to the antibiotics and other components containing a drying property in them. The most popular are:

• Baziron;
• Differrin;
• Mirror;
• Clenzite-C;
• Zinc Ointment;
• Erythromycin ointment.

One of these remedies should be applied to the spot of redness, and then repeated every 3-4 hours until the pimple ceases to bother. At this point, the place can begin to itch even more, which indicates the effective action of the drug. It is usually sufficient to apply the remedy 4-5 times to stop the rash and eliminate its traces.

Alcohol solutions are not only an effective option, but also affordable. To do this, it is necessary to apply an alcohol solution of calendula, propolis or usual vodka using the same scheme as the ointment, using a cotton bud. One of the most effective drugs is an alcohol solution of salicylic acid, because it not only dries the pimple, but also helps kill bacteria that could cause it. The disadvantage of this method is that the skin is quite easy to burn, especially if it is thin and sensitive. Redness from an alcohol burn will go off for about a week.

Shop products in the form of a concentrated cream, a special roller with a round applicator or lotion inferior to the effectiveness of pharmacy, but it can be more expensive than the usual tincture of calendula several times. Such cosmetics are useful in eliminating the problem, but the result may come much later or not occur at all. In this case, it is better to give preference to those manufacturers whose products can be found in the pharmacy, even if it is found in ordinary stores. Here are some of these tools:

• salicylic gel against acne and acne Stopproblem;
• anti-acne gel Biocon;
• cream concentrate with local inflammations Propeller;
• acne gel Boro Derm.

How quickly to get rid of acne

If the pimple has already jumped, then the fastest way to get rid of it, and at the same time from redness - as soon as possible to dry. When the rash has arisen because of blockage of the sebaceous glands or the work of bacteria, i.e., pimples are few and scattered across the face, any drug with an alcohol base will help. To do this, it is necessary to locally treat all the acne with a cotton swab and tincture of calendula or salicylic acid solution. Do this 3-4 times a day. As a rule, on day 3, the pimple begins to decrease and no longer stands out.

Important! Do not rub the entire face with an alcohol tincture. It is able not only to burn the skin, but also to dehydrate it. Even oily skin requires moisturizing and nourishment, and because of a lack of moisture rashes may appear much more than it was.

There is a drug that can eliminate even large rashes and redness in just 3-4 days, and not locally, but all over the face. The drug Zenerit is based on the antibiotic erythromycin, so it can become addictive and will work only if the problem has arisen because of increased work of the sebaceous glands or poor skin care. Erythromycin in its pure form is a prescription drug, therefore it is impossible to make a cheaper analogue of the house on your own. Some use a mixture of ointments of erythromycin and zinc, but the auxiliary substances can clog the pores, and therefore the pharmacy Zinerit is more effective. It is applied 1-2 times a day on cleansed skin. Already 10 hours after application, acne starts to decrease in size, and redness descends. After 2 weeks you can get absolutely clean skin.

Other pharmacy products have the same properties, the list of which is given in the previous section. The difference between them is only that liquid Zinerit copes with its task more quickly, but if acne and redness disturb often enough, it is better to use Baziron or Differin, which guarantee a longer result.

How to mask a pimple and a trace from it with cosmetics

If a pimple has already jumped up or is about to appear, then it can be quickly masked with the help of decorative cosmetics. The plan is approximately this:

1. The face skin should be cleaned and apply a moisturizing or matting cream. Allow to absorb for about 10 minutes.
2. On the place of the pimple, it is necessary to apply a drying agent so that it will work until the make-up is applied.
3. Next, the corrector is applied to the site of the eruption and patting movements distribute it not only for the redness itself, but also for the healthy skin next to it.
4. The last step is to apply a tonal base and / or powder.

There are special pallets with correctors not only beige shades, but also some others. Redness is best neutralized by green, after applying which you will necessarily need a foundation to adjust the skin tone throughout the face. Shadows for this do not fit, you need a special corrector, devoid of any hints of glitter, as well as having a dense coating.

Important! Use cosmetics with a flickering effect( concealer, blush, meteorites, highlighter) in the area with redness is not recommended, because there is a risk not to hide the problem, but to emphasize it more strongly.
