5 Ways To Get Rid Of Acne Overnight At Home

Acne is an annoying problem for millions of people all around the world. Acne can cause people to have a lowered self-esteem. It can result in embarrassment and hurt a person's social life. Fortunately, there are numerous ways to treat acne. Some methods are more effective than others, depending on the person's body chemistry. Acne has a tendency to show up at the worst possible times, like before a big interview or a romantic date. There are several ways to get rid of acne overnight. This article will examine these methods. With any luck, one of them will be the acne solution you have been looking for. 

1. Lemon Juice

For many years, one of the most effective home acne treatments has been the use of lemon juice on the skin. Lemon juice has the ability to kill the germs and bacteria living on your skin and in your pores that cause you to have acne. All you need to do is apply the lemon juice to the areas of your skin that have acne and let it sit there for 30 minutes. You should then wash your face thoroughly using cold water. You can repeat this process every four hours as long as it is necessary.

2. Garlic Paste 

Garlic paste is another homemade remedy for acne that many people swear by. Begin by crushing a clove of garlic and mixing it with a small amount of water until it begins to form into a thick paste. You can then apply the paste you have made to the areas of your skin with acne. The paste will harden soon after application. Allow the paste to stay on your face for at least 20 minutes before you wash it off with cold water.

3. Virgin/castor Olive Oil

Virgin and castor olive oil have been known to help the reduction of acne. You should mix the two of them together. Make sure you only use a small amount of each. Use the resulting oil that you have created to give yourself a face massage. Gently rub your face for five minutes, then allow the oil to remain on your face for 15 minutes. You can then wash it off with cold water.

4. Benzoyl Peroxide 

Benzoyl peroxide is an organic compound that is found in the vast majority of acne medications. It helps to prevent pores from clogging by aiding in exfoliation. However, the amount of benzoyl peroxide varies in the various brands. If you really need to get rid of acne overnight or within a 24-hour period, you should consider using an acne medication that has 10 percent benzoyl peroxide. However, you should be aware that this type of acne medication is very strong. While it will certainly dry out your pores and clear up your acne, it also has a tendency to burn and crack skin if too much is used or if it is left on for too long. You should start by using a small amount and see how your skin reacts to it. This is especially true if you have sensitive skin.

5. The Cotton Ball Method 

Fill up a glass with some water. Put a healthy amount of salt into the water. Take one cotton ball and dip it into the water. Let it soak in the water for one minute. Take out the cotton ball and squeeze all of the excess water out of it. Place the moist cotton ball on one of your pimples and keep it there for three minutes. Remove the cotton ball and place two dry cotton balls on either side of the pimple. Move them together until the pimple is flattened. The area will still be red, but it should fade quickly.
