Gather all materials beforehand -- see "Things You'll Need" below. You might want to store them in a waterproof resealable bag, such as Ziploc. I'd recommend wearing either old clothes or a bathrobe over whatever you are wearing. There is a definite possibility this is going to spill. After you have found everything on you checklist, head to a large, flat, waterproof surface. This is probably your bathroom. Having this room be private is highly advised; you can't just say, "Get out, I'm flattening a pimple," can you
The Method
Salt the water thoroughly -- much more than you think it needs.
Dip one cotton ball in the salt water.
Wait for 30 - 60 seconds.
Squeeze out excess water out until it is damp, but not dripping.
Place the damp cotton ball over your large, oh-my-goodness-I-cannot-go-to-the-prom-w… zit. If you have several of these grouped together, try to place the cotton ball over them all.
Glance at your watch/clock. Wait exactly three minutes.
Remove the cotton ball after the time is up. The zit seems to be nearly gone, but it is only the top that has dissolved. Your acne is still there.
Take the other two cotton balls and place them on either side of the despised pimple.
Slowly, move them closer together until the tiny bump is flattened. Congrats! You've just conquered that giant of a pimple -- forever.
Tips
Don't forget the last two steps -- they are crucial.
Be sure to follow these steps closely. Dipping a cotton ball in fresh water as opposed to salt will not work, for instance.
You might want to bring a book -- either waterproof or one that you do not care about being splattered in water. Those three minutes can get boring.
This is your best bet for monster zits that simply sneak up on you. For long-term healthy skin, cleansing and toning is also important.
Warnings
Please, PLEASE, do not assume this is permission to "pop" pimples. Doing so can cause major scarring. Please don't pop them.
If you stop after the top is dissolved, I must warn you: it will come back. Maybe not in the next five minutes, but during the course of an hour, it will come back.
