I tried a new foundation that caused some horrible cystic acne around my nose and all over my chin any quick tips to reduce the swelling and take out some of the red??
The antibacterial properties of aloe vera gel are very effective in treating acne and reducing the redness caused by it. So, apply the aloe vera gel twice a day for 15-20 minutes and then wash your face with cold water. It will surely help you to get rid of your problem.
Try getting a cloth or flannel, wet it with freezing cold water, place it on the area needed for around two hours adjusting it so it stays cold (re-wet it if needed) and then pat dry, and apply face cream, the best one you have or use. Hope this helps, good luck.
