Want to know how to get rid of spots overnight?
So you’ve got a hot date tomorrow and you’ve been really excited for weeks beforehand looking forward to how nice you’ll look. Only there’s a problem – you woke up this morning to find the most massive hideous ugly spot right in the middle of your forehead! You may feel crushed, angry and disappointed that this has happened yet again and want to do all you can to get it to go away.Though you know that in 8 hours there’s no way you can get rid of spots overnight completely, there are some things you can do to reduce it and make it look a whole load better. Follow these 6 easy to do at home tips:
1) Crushing up some aspirin and mixing it with a little water to form a smooth paste, then leaving on while you sleep has the two-fold benefits of reducing inflammation and gently drying up the area. When you wake up in the morning the zit should be smaller and less obvious.
2) Manuka honey is antimicrobial, and it is bacteria that are the cause of pimples. A dab of this on the pimple before you go to bed will help your immune system fight the spot. Though if this sounds too messy to you (sticky pillow anyone?) tea tree oil is just as good, and it also has anti-inflammatory properties as well, which should make the spot look less ‘angry’. Never apply tea tree oil neat to the skin – always dilute it with water first.
3) Put some toothpaste on the pimple before you go to bed. Toothpaste contains a very drying chemical. If you leave it on overnight it will reduce the size of the spot.
4) Witch hazel is a great inexpensive option, which you can buy in any health and beauty store. It is highly astringent which means that it has the effect of tightening the skin – which essentially forces the spot to get smaller. Most witch Hazel formulations contain a high percentage of alcohol which will help to dry up the spot significantly.
5) What ever you do try not to squeeze the spot. I know it’s darn tempting! Popping spots as a ‘quick fix’ can cause permanent ugly scarring. You can even get acne scars from spots that you never touch, so it’s a good idea not to make the odds worse.
…If you absolutely must pop it, make sure to do it with clean sanitized hands. Also put something antibacterial on the area afterwards – I would recommend tea tree oil (diluted).
6) A little known secret that works really well is to put some Visine eye drops on the pimple and the red area surrounding it. Visine contains a powerful vasoconstrictor called tetrahydrozoline hydrochloride that literally ‘takes out the redness’. You don’t leave this on overnight but instead put it on the affected area about 1 hour before you want it to be most effective at helping ‘hide’ the spot. Reapply as needed.
