Leave it for a whole night and wash it off in the morning. Another method is to massage camphor oil over your cleansed skin.

Ice: Rubbing the affected area with ice will help to reduce the swelling. When rubbed with ice, the oil glands constrict and push out excess oil along with the bacteria that leads to acne. Repeat the process twice a day, and your pimple issue will be resolved in a day or two.
