It's freakingly annoying to see a red pimple, making its appearance, all of a sudden, on a prominent position on your face. The accompanying redness, swelling and pus-filled whitehead makes it look even more ugly. But do resist the urge to pop it for you may end up with a far more uglier scar or blemish. Here's one home-remedy that has worked for me. Not only does it reduce the redness from pimples, but it also heals pimples faster and flattens them quickly without leaving ugly scars.Lemon juice remedy to reduce redness from pimples and heal pimples faster
The recipe:Squeeze out the juice of about five fresh lemons. Strain it twice. Add 1 teaspoon of table salt and two tablespoons of rose water to it. Mix well and bottle it. You can store it for a week in a refrigerator.
Application:
Whenever you require, take a little of the above mentioned lemon juice mixture and dab it on the red pimple spots with cotton wool. It will sting for a while and if your skin is extra sensitive you may even experience a burning sensation; so be aware. Let it remain for 15 minutes. Then wash it off with cold water and gently place an ice cube wrapped in a clean cloth over those areas for a minute or two. Then dab on rose water (buy here), aloe gel (buy here) or honey over the spots. Repeat this treatment at least twice a day and within a week your pimple /pimples should vanish without a trace.

A quick fix is to dab Visine on the offending areas. It will shrink the blood vessels in your skin the same way it does in your eyes. Keep the skin moisturized to prevent over-drying, which will just make things worse. If you're brave enough, dab a small bit of tinted acne cream on the area...the double-duty action will keep the pimple under cover, AND clear it up faster.
