perusing
here's some great info to try:
for really deep zits that are just developing, Mayo is really good to draw it to a head (I guess because all the fat and oil.) Put it on with a bandaid for four hours or more (overnight is really good) and try popping the sucker the next morning.
I've also found that I'm very fond of coconut oil for general drying out, anti-bacterial properties. If I've been in a smoking bar environment, then I like putting it on after I shower when I get home, to give me that extra sense of "cleanness."
Vitamin E oil also helps bring zits to a head--but it doesn't work as well with big underground zits like mayo does-- it does however, work well with regular zits that are just hanging out underneath the top layer of skin.
and oregano oil is one of my all time faves because I think it does as good of a job if not better as the mayo. I had this really huge itchy zit on my chin, but so deep you couldn't see it. It was just very painful and itchy. I'd had it for maybe a day or two, and this is the type that takes several days before it just pops a little, then it blows up and you spend a whole week trying to get rid of the pus and get it to heal. Well, I put the
OO (Olive-Oil) on before i went to bed, and got up really early (like six hours later) to go to the bathroom, and I couldn't resist having a go. And wouldn't you know? All of the gunk came out, very easily, and it was healed up within a day.
so-- just a "heads up" on what oil can do for skin and ugly skin monsters.
