Ice cubes to the rescue! Aestheticians as well as some other individuals have reported amazing success from this technique. The trick is to try and catch the pimple before it makes its way to the surface of your skin. As soon as you feel a pimple forming, ice it! Take an ice cube wrapped in saran wrap and place on the skin portion where you feel a pimple about to form. Hold it there for a few minutes. No more than ten minutes actually, as you can get frostbite and make it worse. Perform the above steps three times daily, waiting a couple of hours between each one. This technique is effective only on newly forming pimples. If you don?t catch them soon enough, it is rarely useful for existing pimples.
