Angry red zits are like unexpected guests who visit your home and stay for as long as they wish. Nothing makes us angrier than an unexpected visitor who shows up at our doorstep (and, on our face) and won’t go away. Yes, we are referring to those unpleasant occupants, also known as pimples or acne, who simply live their best lives and rent free on our faces without paying the bills! The most frustrating part, is that they reappear repeatedly after we’ve had to “accommodate” them for a few days. Oh boy, not any longer! Yes, we are telling you guys how to get them to depart overnight!
4 Overnight Treatments To Bid Goodbye To Those Pesky Pimples
Be cautious when adopting these brilliant tips for zit reduction because they won’t increase your chances of making the pimple go away; instead, they’ll wreck havoc on your skin and turn a small blemish into a red, blotchy disaster.
Bag A Superstar Face Cleanser
Even while it may seem obvious, it’s significantly easier to prevent acne than it is to treat it. Although most breakouts are uncontrollable, selecting an excellent powerful cleanser can help you maintain your skin’s health so you can live the life you want.
Follow a double cleansing routine if your skin is very oily or prone to breakouts: first cleanse your face with a water or gel-based cleanser, then apply an oil-based cleanser or cleansing balm. A double cleanse will guarantee spotless skin because an oil-based cleanser is excellent at eliminating debris and extra oil.
Hydrocortisone Cream To Your Rescue
This will be the next best thing because you can’t just rush to your doctor each time you develop a zit on your face. If it’s angry red and juicy, applying a very little over-the-counter hydrocortisone on it will remove approximately 80% of the redness and flatten it overnight; it won’t completely remove the redness, but it’ll come pretty darn close.
Use a tiny amount of the treatment on the zit at night and once more in the morning. Just avoid applying it frequently as too much hydrocortisone can weaken the skin and increase acne problems.
Spot On
You’ve certainly seen these over-the-counter solutions for breakouts at the pharmacy; they typically contain a potent combination of benzoyl peroxide, glycolic acid, or salicylic acid. Oh boy, believe me, they can erase pimples overnight.
Spot treatments can be very successful because they aid in reducing inflammation and drying out the zit. Just remember that these remedies are only designed to be applied to a specific pimple and not your entire face. Likewise, check with your dermatologist before using a topical treatment if you are using any prescription medications for acne.
Patch Up With Clear Skin
These tiny, round stickers offer modest acne treatment. They are like bandaids for your angry red zits. To be honest, these patches contain chemicals that treat acne, most frequently hydrocolloid, which sucks out the fluid and sebum from a zit or clogged pore over the course of a few hours. Your blemish heals more quickly with a medicated patch applied over it than it would with a topical spot treatment. Likewise, the patch shields your skin from discomfort and unwanted infection. When worn for at least six hours, they work best. And you can also wear them to bed.
