Before we take a look at some of the solutions for acne out there, it is important that you first understand what acne and pimples are and why they suddenly appear out of nowhere. Plainly put, pimples are lesions or inflammations of the skin that occur when the oil glands (better known as sebaceous glands) in your skin are affected by bacteria such as P. acnes and S. epidermidis (short for Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis), leading to that region of your skin swelling up. The sebaceous glands in your skin (except for on your palms and soles) are known to secrete a wax-like substance called sebum which essentially helps maintain the oil balance of your skin, keeping your skin healthy and preventing it from getting too dry. Any sort of irritation to or abnormality in the functioning of your sebaceous glands can lead to the occurrence of acne and pimples. In fact, there is a multitude of reasons that could cause pimples to develop on your skin, and especially on your face. Right from bacterial growth and dead skin build-up to hormonal imbalances and unhealthy habits (both dietary and beauty-related), or even due to hereditary reasons (yeah, blame your genes for those stubborn zits!), pimples can appear due to a host of different reasons, and at any point of time in your life (it's an oft-stated myth that you cannot get pimples to post your adolescence). There are many ways to get rid of acne overnight . Since we already know that the most common reason behind the occurrence of pimples is acne-causing bacteria , using a cleanser on your face from time to time can help you go a long way in controlling any potential damage that could lead to the development of acne and breakouts on your skin.

Apart from such preventive measures, there are also quite a few quick-fix solutions that can help you get rid of acne overnight. Chemical solutions such as salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or benzoyl peroxide can help you get rid of acne overnight like it's no big deal. You could even take recourse to use a crushed aspirin (make a paste using three parts aspirin and one part water and apply it on your face like a mask) since it works just as well, being a derivative of salicylic acid itself. However, the frequent use of chemical solutions on your skin can, in fact, have an effect contrary to the one desired, leading to allergic reactions or skin irritation (toothpaste are a big no-no too!). The best way to get rid of pimples and acne overnight, we believe, would be to take recourse to natural remedies, especially since most of these natural products also have additional benefits like moisturizing your skin and healing acne scars. To help you along this route, we've compiled a list of natural remedies that could be used to get rid of acne overnight, or at least as quickly as is possible the natural way.

While the Green Tea trend has been slowly growing on people across the world, most of them are only aware of the dietary benefits that the tea provides. However, green tea also contains a lot of flavonoids and tannins, as well as the antioxidant epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), all three of which help reduce the inflammation caused by acne. The antioxidant ECGC is also known to keep the production of sebum from your glands under control so that your face does not get greasy enough for the acne to develop. How to use: Prepare green tea and let it cool down, then soak a cotton ball in it, remove excess water and gently apply on the acne. Repeat twice a day.
