Some of the cheapest cures can be the quickest and most effective.

Apply hemorrhoid cream to a large bump about a half hour before applying makeup.

Apply camphor oil to upper body blemishes.

Dab Milk of Magnesia on the pimple to absorb the oil and disinfect. Let it dry, then rinse off.

Take a dot of regular toothpaste (not gel) and leave it on overnight. The calcium carbon­ate in the toothpaste helps dry up pimples.

Hold an ice cube on the pimple for one minute. The ice constricts blood vessels that cause redness and swelling and reduces the inflammation.

M їх a teaspoon of vodka with a teaspoon of lemon juice. Dab it on blemishes with a cotton swab. It shrinks and dries out pimples and gets rid of bacteria.

Soak a piece of bread in milk. Lie down and apply to blemished area for at least fifteen minutes.

Mix a teaspoon of brewer’s yeast with a tablespoon of plain yogurt and spread over pimples. Allow to dry. Brewer’s yeast was used in ancient Greece for skin rejuvenation and is a natural acne fighter.
