Article: If you have a private backyard or a nude beach nearby, let your buns soak up a little sun on a warm day. The sun naturally helps dry up excess oil. Make sure you are using a sunscreen with at least SPF 30, though, to protect your skin from the UV radiation.  Make sure to apply a non-comedogenic sunscreen beforehand to avoid sunburn. Only use this method once in a while, and only after the acne heals. Too much sun exposure may actually cause acne to darken or get worse. Some acne medication may cause sensitivity to the sun. Talk to your doctor if you are currently using any prescription or over-the-counter treatments. Crush up four or five aspirin pills. Make sure there is no coating on the outside of the pills. Combine with one tablespoon lukewarm water and either a dollop of honey or plain yogurt, depending on your preference.  Apply a thin layer over the entire surface of your buttocks. Allow the mask to dry before rinsing it off. Follow the treatment up with a non-comedogenic moisturizer to prevent further irritation. Do not try this treatment if you are allergic to aspirin. Always talk to your doctor before you use aspirin on a child or teenager's skin, as aspirin may be linked to Reye's syndrome in those age groups. Fresh lemon juice and apple cider vinegar diluted in water can be used to treat pimples. If your pimples have open sores, however, this can be painful. Leave on for about 5-10 minutes and rinse it off thoroughly with cool water and a gentle body wash.  Be very careful with this treatment. A small amount of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar diluted in water can help dry out a zit. Applying an acid straight to your pimples, though, can be drying and may actually cause more acne. Add a few drops of honey to your diluted solution for its antibacterial and soothing effects. Tea tree and coconut oil are great antibacterial and antifungal oils that can be rubbed on the problem areas to help heal acne. Though this won't directly help heal your pimples, it will cause immediate relief from painful pimples. To make a homemade ice pack, wrap a handful of ice in a washcloth and apply it to the pimple or inflamed area for 15-20 minutes. You can also use a commercial ice pack. Just be sure there is a cloth barrier between the pack and your skin to prevent damage from the cold.
