Gather all materials beforehand -- see "Things You'll Need" below. You might want to store them in a waterproof resealable bag, such as Ziploc. I'd recommend wearing either old clothes or a bathrobe over whatever you are wearing. There is a definite possibility this is going to spill. After you have found everything on you checklist, head to a large, flat, waterproof surface. This is probably your bathroom. Having this room be private is highly advised; you can't just say, "Get out, I'm flattening a pimple," can you
The Method
Salt the water thoroughly -- much more than you think it needs.
Dip one cotton ball in the salt water.
Wait for 30 - 60 seconds.
Squeeze out excess water out until it is damp, but not dripping.
Place the damp cotton ball over your large, oh-my-goodness-I-cannot-go-to-the-prom-with-THAT zit. If you have several of these grouped together, try to place the cotton ball over them all.
Glance at your watch/clock. Wait exactly three minutes.
Remove the cotton ball after the time is up. The zit seems to be nearly gone, but it is only the top that has dissolved. Your acne is still there.
Take the other two cotton balls and place them on either side of the despised pimple.
Slowly, move them closer together until the tiny bump is flattened. Congrats! You've just conquered that giant of a pimple -- forever.
Tips
Don't forget the last two steps -- they are crucial.
Be sure to follow these steps closely. Dipping a cottonball in fresh water as opposed to salt will not work, for instance.
You might want to bring a book -- either waterproof or one that you do not care about being splattered in water. Those three minutes can get boring.
This is your best bet for monster zits that simply sneak up on you. For long-term healthy skin, cleansing and toning is also important.
Warnings
Please, PLEASE, do not assume this is permission to "pop" pimples. Doing so can cause major scarring. Please don't pop them.
If you stop after the top is dissolved, I must warn you: it will come back. Maybe not in the next five minutes, but during the course of an hour, it will come back.
Things You'll Need
3 or more cotton balls
Lukewarm tap water
Cup to hold the water in
Salt

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.
In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.
Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.
In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.
If you would like to learn how to treat your acne permanently and regain your health and wellbeing, without drugs, without typical acne treatments, and without any side effects, then this will be the most important letter you will ever read.

I have a very sensitive skin and I had so many pimples that were uncontrollable, I consulted a doctor he prescribed me nilac gel and Aha glow face wash. I was able to see a tremendous difference.
How to use
Apply nilac gel all over your face throughout the day
Was your face with Aha glow face wash
I know how embarrassing it is to have pimples and people asking you "Why do you have so much pimples??"
Try it and you will see the difference

Right now my skin is perfectly clear, for the first time in 3 years. It's been about 9 weeks and all my acne is gone. It is such a great feeling to wake up with clear skin.

You can also try ToothPaste, or Neosporin. I use Neosporin everynight. It works for me. You should try it. It's cheaper than zit creams. Put it on every night then in the morning, rinse your face off. It may feel greasy when you apply Neosporin or Toothpaste. You may Also Apply after you pop some zits too. Difference within a few Days. I hope this helped:)

Take alot of sea salt crystals and dissolve it boiling water. Wait for it to cool down. Before going to bed apply it to a cotton ball and spread it over your face then wash off in the morning. Within two days you will see results.
Also you can try honey and sea salt mask wich is bassicly the same mix honey and sea salt apply it on your face when you go to bed. You can keep it neat by placing a towel under your head and when u wake up wash it off.
You can also you camomile tea and sea salt apply it to your face at least 2-4 times a week to see results.

DermalMD is my new favorite brand. I have been using a few of their products, creams serums lotions, and my skin has never looked as clear as it does now. It has reduced my acne and started clearing up my acne scars. My skin is glowing and I get so many compliments now. The best part is that I hardly have to wear any makeup now!
