5 Ways to Get Rid of Pimples Overnight

Pimples always seem to arise (literally) at the absolute most inconvenient time (think graduation pictures, important meetings, first dates, you get the gist.) Instead of letting your blemishes take over your life for a week, nip them in the bud by trying out one of these 5 easy ways to get rid of pimples overnight.

Toothpaste

Apply a small amount of toothpaste over your pimple and leave it on overnight. Rinse away the toothpaste in the morning and notice a significant change in the size/color of your pimple.

Basil

Steep a few basil leaves in warm water for approximately 20 minutes. Before bed, apply the basil infused water to your pimple/all over your face using a cotton ball. Wash your face as you normally would the next morning.

Honey

Apply honey to your face and leave it on the affected area. After about an hour, rinse off the honey and continue with your regular skin care regimen.

Calamine Lotion

Wash your face and pay specific attention to cleansing the affected area. Apply calamine lotion to the pimple and leave it on overnight.

Ice

Applying ice onto your blemish for just a few minutes can significantly reduce the swelling and therefore the size of your pimple. Do this a few times a day to see a significant decrease in size.
