How to reduce redness on face?

Popped zits.. redness on face.. how do I reduce the redness?

  • What are some remedies to make the redness on my face go away? Should I put a cold wash cloth on it or something? Also should I wash my face again tonight or will that make it ...show more

  • Answer:

    If you are going to pop a zit, make sure your face and hands are clean, after you pop it, apply cold water to it immediately to close it back up, and prevent blemishing. I hope this helps, but I think that I should be advising you to see a dermatologist first. The men in my house can tell by the way that I am looking them over if I am going to pounce on them or not.

cold usually reduces swelling if it was a zit I would not start applying more oil or makeup on it maybe just some astringent or wash your face now and go to bed It should be gone in the morning. I use to use neosporin to heal zits it really works well.

Popping causes the redness - you just pinched your skin. Give it a few minutes, the redness will go away. Washing with tooth-paste really works; mildly abrasive and minty - really made my skin clear up. Buy some Stridex cover-up, in case you have to pop while you're away from the comforts of home. Pop it, dab a little cover-up on and nobody will know the difference.

icing it ((with ice)) usually reduces the swelling, cleanse just tonight.

A cortisone cream would do the trick to get rid of the redness. DO NOT EXFOLIATE. That will just irritate the skin. If you do wash your face, wash it with a gentle cleanser.

I would actually put a warm wash cloth on your face.. it will open the pores then you can clean your face and then splash with cold water to close the pores after they are clean. I wouldn't exfoliate because that will make the redness even worse

I never pop my zits. Honestly, that's the way to leave scars. In terms of 'remedies' I went to a Clinique shop and a person told me that the type of soap you use depends on the skin type-like I use a medium-bar soap from Clinique and it works really well. Go visit a shop like that and get a face soap that's for your face. In terms of redness, I wouldn't suggest exfoliating-but cleansing with a good soap should do well. Also look into products like Neutrogena Acne Rapid Clear Daily Treatment if you have a lot of acne
