Crush an aspirin and moisten it with a bit of water.Apply the paste to the pimple and let it sit for a couple of minutes before washing it off.The aspirin paste will reduce the redness and soothe the sting.If the pimple persists,repeat the procedure as needed until it's gone.
Do not apply aspirin externally if you are allergic to taking it internally.
Do you still get the occasional pimple on your face?

thanks for the tip sis! yeah i got occasional pimple on my face & i'm getting this on or before my period! lol i'm just using lipstick to dry those pimples. my dermatologists told me that if i want to get rid off of my pimples on my face, better sleep early hehehe, but i can't sleep early coz sleeping late is already my habit especially on weekends..

never tried aspirin on pimples before but its interesting.... for me the most effective way to dry up pimples is washing my face with cold freeze mineral water. its effective for me and heal my pimples in a few days. actually I've tried many ways on clearing pimples but its only the cold freeze mineral water that becomes effective for me... its easy and obviously its safe...

Interesting. I knew aspirin can have a lot more uses than just being a headache remedy. I'll have to give this a try the next time I get one. At my age it's rare but it does happen. I hat a lot of acne as a teenager. I ended up visiting the dermatologist who prescribed a cortisone cream and a diet mostly devoid of fatty foods and foods containing citric acid. Also ph neutral soap will help. I went from a pizza face to nothing within two weeks.

I am glad too and I hope that you won't get an occasional pimple for a long long time but if you get one then you know what to do ha!ha!ha! If you don't get allergic to aspirin then try this trick.When I get occasional pimple on my face I don't think twice,I just crush an aspirin and apply the paste on my pimple,I am doing this for years and I am doing fine,cheap and easy! Have fun and cheers...

Hi roshand,
wow..I have not tried this...I always use the Chinese cream for allergies and everyone in the family is using it, very effective!Some of my friends use it for their pimples but I never tried it, I am just scared since my face is very sensitive, I do have pimples whenever my period is coming!

Most important of all, never attempt to squeeze the pimple with your bare hands, as our hands are full of bacteria even after washing ^_^ If we really wanna squeeze them, use a tissue and really let all out, b4 washing with water ^_^
BUt if possible, dun try to squeeze the pimple, let it burst on its own naturally and there won't be any scars too ^_^ hehe

Wow, nice advise sometimes a stubborn pimple would
take residence at the tip of my nose. When it grow
big I resemble red nose reindeer, heehehe
and I really hate that. I might try the aspirin thing.
Thanks for the great tip my friend.
