Posted on November 23rd, 2009 | by lose_spots |
You’re just tired of those pimples and you’re sick of the medication treadmill, the detoxes and flushes and you just want a decent, honest method on how to get rid of pimples overnight without adding more toxicity to your body.
Researchers, Health Consultants and Nutritionists now teach when the body is not in its natural balance, internal disorders manifest themselves in chronic conditions such as acne. So, it follows that to cure the chronic condition ie. acne, you should heal the body, get the body into its natural balance, instead of just treating the symptoms.
Let’s address the answer to why you’re here - how to get rid of pimples overnight, but to do this in a natural way?
The good news is that there are several natural options available. However, in this article, I am able to share only 3 tips.
Tip #1 – The Baking Soda Secret
Take care that the mask you use isn’t drying your skin as this is the exact opposite of good beauty therapy. The objective of skin care is to hydrate and NOT dehydate the skin. You will have learned that when the skin dries out, the dead cells block the pores, which then causes irritation and inflammation and this in turn results in the whole cycle of acne starts again That’s why a mask that works is a mask that does not dehyrate the skin.
The baking soda mask is wonderful. This mask is perfect as it does three things at the same time - exfoliates,softens the skin and corrects the skin pH. It does wonders for acne prone skin.
Mix together, 1 cup of baking soda, 3 tablespoons of salt ( I use the granular type) and 1 tbsp of baking powder. Add only sufficient drops of water to make this into a thick paste.
For the mask to be most effective, it is best to apply it all over your face. Be sure to tie your hair back.
Take a tablespoon of this paste and rub it into your skin in gentle circular motions. Repeat till the face is covered with the mask. Be sure to do this for a minute and cover the entire face, avoiding the eye area. The salt is a natural exfoliant whist the baking powder softens the skin and the baking soda is alkaline and brings your skin’s pH back to balance.
Leave the mask on for a few minutes then rinse off thoroughly with cool water.
For a thorough cleansing, steam your face before hand, so that the pores are opened before the application of the mask.
Tip #2 - The toothpaste method
Now lots of people swear by this method - using plain toothpaste to get rid of pimples overnight.
Dab some plain toothpaste onto the affected areas before turning in at night. This dehydrates the acne overnight.
It works only if your skin is freshly cleaned just prior to applying the plain toothpaste.
Tip #3 – The lime or lemon juice swab
Another all time favourite on how to get rid of pimples overnight is the dabbing on of some fresh lime or lemon juice to youraffected area. You can do just before turning in for the evening.
This swab method only requires you cut a single lemon or lime, extract its juice into a small bowl. Apply the juice to the pimples with a clean cotton tip by dabbing thoroughly but gently. Before the application of the juice you need to ensure that your face is completely clean. Ideally, you would have cleansed and hydrated your face before the application of the lemon juice on the pimples.
Whilst these are effective natural ways on how to get rid of pimples overnight, these tips are certainly not permanent cures of acne.
For you to cure a chronic acne problem , you’ll need to determine the root cause and heal your body so that it can heal itself.
