Desert Essence Blemish Stick w/ tea tree oil is excellent.
Other spot treatments/home remedies:
You can crush up 6 plain, uncoated aspirin tablets and mix it w/ a little water to make mask. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes & rinse off w/ cool water.
Mix half a teaspoon of crushed uncoated aspirin tablets with Queen Helene Mint Julep mask or aloe vera gel to use as a mask. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes & rinse off w/ cool water.
Milk of Magnesia - apply in thin layer where needed & allow to dry 5-10 mins. Will absorb oil & tighten pores. Can be used as a spot treatment too.

I just wash with as hot as water as I can stand, using a mild soap. The hot water opens up the pores and this is the only time when you should squeeze or pick at the zit. Then rinse over your face with really cold water, this closes the pores and helps the zit to dry up. After a couple of days it should disappear.

A quick at home fix is a pinch of baking soda and a drop of water. It makes a paste that will dry out your zits. Tooth paste with baking soda in it works just as well. Tea Tree oil seems to help too, but many don't have that just lying around the house. Also, try Listerine. I know it sounds funny, but it has stuff in it that cleans skin, plus it feels nice.

Dont pick at them and get some zit cream and wash your face everyday.

i do exactly the same thing as you lol
try using a good facial cleanser and pimple cream. also moisturize and drink water. changing your pillow case often like every 3 days or so is good to, helps keep you face cleaner.
good luck, hope i've helped:)
