Not Medical Advice: Searching for the best, fastest, and the most effective home remedies for acne is not as simple as some people think, says NurseBuff.
In most cases, it may turn out to be a trial-and-error process. And if you’re in a hurry to clear your pores from pimples, this might depress you a bit.
Here's what they shared to be the fastest but safest remedies to get rid of pimples overnight:
- Garlic
Garlic has antiseptic properties that can fight off bacteria invading your skin.
Cucumber
- Cucumber has long been known as a natural remedy to soothe skin. It is also a rich source of different nutrients that can help in acne healing and prevention.
Toothpaste
- Toothpaste basically works like your ordinary facial mask. If applied directly to the affected area, the toothpaste will help in drying up the pimples and absorbing excess oil.
Honey
- Honey may be sweet for your taste buds but for your skin, it can act as an amazing antimicrobial and wound-healing remedy.
Lemon Juice
- Lemon contains Vitamin C and has acidic properties to fight off acne-causing bacteria. But in using it as an acne home remedy, it’s best to use natural fresh lemon juice. Those that are commercially sold in bottles often contain preservatives that may bring more harm to the skin than good.
Most people develop acne -- the most common skin condition -- to some degree, but it primarily affects teenagers undergoing hormonal changes.
Acne may be mild (few, occasional pimples), moderate (inflammatory papules), or severe (nodules and cysts). Treatment depends on the severity of the condition.
