last minute ways to get rid of a zit?

i have a date tonight and i have this zit in the middle of my forehead! i just woke up with it. ughhh. any last minute ways to get rid of it or effectively hide it? thanks! the suggestions have been great! and to the person who said i have a bad diet and that's why i have acne, i'm vegan, i don't drink soda, and i rarely eat sweets. there ARE other reasons zits come about, you know. this is the first zit i've had in months.

put toothpaste on it over night, just the pimple, not the entire area, it will dry the oils out
rubbing alcohol works for me...but warning it burned my friends skin, leaving her a scar..... so I say to use a toner, and cover up.
Use spot treatment! Fean & Co. has a really good one and so does proactive.
DRAWING SAVE YOU GET THIS AT THE DRUG STORE IF YOU PUT IT ON NOW IT WILL PROBABLY BE GOT BY THE TIME YOU GO OUT BUT PUT A BAND ADE OVER IT AFTER YOU APPLY IT IT DOES WORK
well nothing really to totally get rid of it but some suggestions are... -leave it alone all day then before the date put ice on it (to get rid of redness) then alittle cover up a littleee (: hope it helps and have fun on your date with your boy toy!!
to get rid of it sleep lots of water and Clean and Clear spot treatment AND DONT pick at it!!. use green concealer to hide it better. its like in art class complimentary colours (green and red, purple and yellow, and blue and orange). b/c the zit is a redish colour green neutralizes the colour and makes the make up cover better
That's like trying to get out of the way of a bullet that is headed your way and you're 10 feet away. You got it Toyota! The things to do about zits, acne, pimples or whatever you want to call them today is DIET CONTROL. Our body's sewer system expels toxins from our bodies in various ways. One is by causing a zit. You have a diet that is heavy on chemicals you eat and drink. Sugar is a chemical. Energy drinks are FULL of chemicals. Sodas have chemicals. Processed foods have chemicals (pesticides used while growing). For now try a paste made with a bit of olive oil and 2 or 3 aspirins. Put it directly over the zit and hopefully in 4 to 5 hours it will be smaller. I don't know the size so if it is larger than a pin head, forget it! You got it Toyota! Eat better from now on.
Squeeze your head, until it "pop's." <}:-})
get a lemon, cut it open, and rub it on the pimple, then squeeze a little of the juice on it. if that doesn't work, put toothpaste on it and have it on overnight, or at least a couple of hours. if THAT doesn't work, get Clean & Clear for sensitive skin. it'll help clean out the dirt and oil, and that makes the zit to die down.
Sulfur mask...it stinks but it works...and try mixing sugar with watever face mask you use.
Any product with salycylic (sp?) acid, or benzoyl peroxide will dry it up quicker. However, nothing will get rid of it instantaneously. To cover it up effectively, put foundation on first, then concealer over the zit on top of the foundation.
To reduce redness you can mix a couple of (white) Tylenols with water, mixing until you create a paste. Place over blemish for 15-30 minutes and wash off. Umm.. after that, my only other suggestion is a concealer and some foundation or loose powder. Don't put too much though or you'll make it more noticeable. Remember, you see flaws in yourself more than anyone else. He probably won't even notice it! Have fun!
foundation
use toothpaste or tar.. they both work! good luck, have fun tonite!
If it's not too big...pop it then cover it with your foundation. The red colour ususally only lasts a couple of hours after you pop it. If it is a huge thing...don't pop it, lest you end-up with acne scarring. The only other thing I can think of is Witch Hazel works wonders. Good Luck!
what helps me is tea tree oil. put it on there and it dries it all up :)
i know htis is crazy but diaper rash cream
Stay away from Benzol Peroxide because it will make it dry and flaky with the zit left in the middle. I usually use a drop of Goldenseal and starts clearing up within hours. An hour before you go out, apply some ice to it, to reduce any redness.
Either pop it or cover it with makeup.
try mary kay acne treatment gel..if you put it on your zit..and reaply it twice..it will be gone by tonight! or if you don't have any..or if you don't have time to get some..just use some good concealer..then put on some cover stick over that it works for me!
put some makeup to hide it
1.) get the yellow out and leave it alone 2.) go to the store and get clean & clear atvantage or clearasil ultra and use them as directed. 3.) then put your makeup on about 30 minutes before your date( to let the acne medication work as long as possible ) use consealer the same color as your skin to cover up the zit more. Your zit will probally not go away completely before your date, but the size should go down. Just don't pick at it and don't worry about it to much you will be fine, I'm sure your date won't care about one little zit because he gets them too. Thank you.
