SOS! Emergency Pimple Solutions to the Rescue

seo-img-article

It’s two days before an important job interview. You’re getting ready for bed when you realize that a pimple the size of Andorra has manifested on your cheek. What do you do?

Waking up to find a random zit staking claim to some real estate on your face is never fun, especially when you have an important event coming up in the next few days. Here are a couple of products and methods I use when my skin is seeking some emergency rescue.

(Of course none of these products will actually completely eliminate a pimple overnight, but they have definitely helped minimize the appearance of it well enough within the course of 1-3 days for me to need nothing more than foundation to cover up any unevenness. Hope you they work for you too!)

The Panacea: The Beauness S toner from Menard is a really excellent way to help calm irritated skin. Whenever I get a random zit or some excessive redness in my cheeks, I would swipe and pat this toner on after cleansing. One of its key ingredients is a blend of essences and minerals called SPA Essence (which contains extracts from minerals, sea grass, coconut water and more), to help restore skin by increasing ceramides (to smooth out skin’s top layer) and attacking bad acne bacterium.

The Dirty Little Secret: You can spot-treat a pimple by dabbing a little bit of your favorite mud mask onto the offending zit. A lot of websites will tell you to keep the mud on the pimple for about 20 minutes (the same amount of time you’d keep the actual mask on), but I found that keeping it on through the night is  much more effective. Try the Dead Sea Mud Mask from Singapore’s Vardi & Migdal, or the Mud Mask from Jafra Spa.

The Natural Option
: You can even head out and look in your kitchen for a quick solution to pimples: honey has antibacterial properties that can help neutralize the bacteria causing a zit. Dab a little bit of honey on the pimple, cover it with a band-aid, and wake up to a clearer complexion.

 

 

Have you tried any of these methods to help clear a pimple overnight? What do you use to get rid of pesky zits in times of emergency?
