Acne is a common skin problem among adolescents, teenagers and many adults. Home remedies provide a safe alternative to commercial acne remedies that are often expensive, unreliable and can cause harmful side effects. Most people want a treatment that works quickly and effectively. Overnight home remedies offer a fast, inexpensive way to treat pimples.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Dip a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar and dab it on the pimple before going to bed. According to Acneassasin.com, the apple cider vinegar causes the acne to dry out, leaving the acne less visible. Individuals with sensitive skin should dilute the apple cider vinegar with water before use.
Toothpaste
Use toothpaste, not gel, for an overnight acne cure. Apply a small amount of toothpaste on the pimple before going to bed and wash it off in the morning. Because toothpaste dries out the skin, it may irritate skin around the pimple. Be careful to only use toothpaste on affected areas.
Lemon Juice
Apply lemon juice to the affected area and allow to dry. Lemon juice functions as an anti-bacterial agent, eliminating germs on the surface of the skin.
Ice
Applying ice to acne reduces inflammation of the skin. The ice diminishes redness and swelling, making the pimple less visible.
