Pimples are the bane, aren’t they? There’s the non ceasing medication treadmill, the diets and detoxes that just don’t work and for a change you’d like to know how to get rid of pimples overnight without more chemicals.
You will have learned that many nutritionists and health professionals regard acne as symptomatic of an internal chronic imbalance. There’s more than enough evidence that acne can be healed by treating the internal functions and getting the body to heal itself.
I’ve shared with you that there is a way to achieve clear skin, but now, we need to answer your question – how to get rid of pimples overnight, using natural techniques?
The good news is that there are several natural options available. But here are just 3 tips.
Tip #1 – The Baking Soda Mask
Take care that the mask you use isn’t drying your skin as this is the exact opposite of good beauty therapy. The objective of skin care is to hydrate and NOT dehydate the skin. You will have learned that when the skin dries out, the dead cells block the pores, which then causes irritation and inflammation and this in turn results in the whole cycle of acne starts again The Solution of course, is a hydrating mask.
The baking soda mask is wonderful. Not only does this mask exfoliates dead skin cells but it also softens your complexion and brings your skin pH back to normal levels. It does wonders for acne prone skin.
Mix together, 1 cup of baking soda, 3 tablespoons of salt ( I use the granular type) and 1 tbsp of baking powder. Add only sufficient drops of water to make this into a thick paste.
Be sure you’ve tied back your hair so that your face is unobstructed.
Now, take the paste and scrub your face using a circular motion. Be sure to do this for a minute and cover the entire face, avoiding the eye area. Such a simple treatment but it works because the baking soda doesn’t just soften the skin but also restores the skin’s pH and the salt is a natural exfoliant.
After the mask has been on for a few minutes, rinse off with cool water taking care to remove all traces of the mask.
Steaming your face before the mask will ensure a thorough cleansing.
Tip #2 – The toothpaste method
A tried and tested method on how to get rid of pimples overnight, that has many people swearing to its effectiveness is to use some toothpaste. However, use only plain toothpaste, not the gel toothpaste.
Dab just a bit of plain toothpaste on the pimple before bedtime at night. This dries out the pimple overnight.
Of course, be certain that your skin is freshly cleaned before the application of the toothpaste.
Tip #3 – The lime or lemon juice swab
Another all time favourite on how to get rid of pimples overnight is the dabbing on of some fresh lime or lemon juice to thepimples. You can do just before you go to bed for the night.
This swab method only requires you cut a single lemon or lime, squeeze out its juice into a small bowl. Apply the juice to the pimples with a clean cotton tip by dabbing thoroughly but gently. Before the application of the juice you need to ensure that your face is completely clean. Ideally, you would have cleansed and hydrated your face before the application of the lemon juice on the pimples.
These tips I’ve shared are some answers on how to get rid of pimples overnight, but these are certainly not cures.
For you to cure a chronic acne problem , you’ll need to determine the root cause and heal your body so that it can heal itself.
