Most of us experience pimples and zits from stress, hormonal changes, or exposure to pollution. All these factors block your pores with grime and dead skin, which results in zits and pimples popping up all over your skin. But do you know how to get rid of pimples quickly and effectively? While medical creams and ointments work effectively, they don’t get rid of pimples overnight. They can also lead to irritation and dryness.

This article looks at a few home remedies that can help you get rid of pimples overnight. Check them out!

What Are Pimples?

Our skin has oil-producing glands called sebaceous glands. Sometimes, when these glands get clogged, they can cause lesions filled with pus to develop. These lesions can be inflamed and appear like red boils and are called pimples. Pimples (also known as zits) are a symptom of acne. They can occur at any age but are commonly seen during puberty (1).

According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), acne affects nearly 50 million Americans each year. It was further reported that 85% of people aged 12-24 may experience minor acne at least once in their lifetime. Additionally, 15% of adult women experience acne every year.

There are many factors that can make you susceptible to acne and leave you with pimples on your face. Learn more about the causes of acne in the next section.

What Causes Pimples?

  • Pimples are observed to occur on the face, back, shoulders, and chest due to the presence of sebaceous glands in these areas. These glands can get clogged due to dirt or excess oil buildup, leading to pimples (1).
  • Bacteria live on your skin. One of them is Propionibacterium acnes. When the sebaceous glands are clogged, it increases the amount of P. acnes, leading to inflammatory acne symptoms (1).
  • Zits are most likely to show up during puberty due to hormonal changes. This is because, all through puberty, there is a change in hormone production. This causes the sebaceous glands to work overtime and produce sebum in excess (1).
  • Inflammatory dietary habits can cause acne too. Eating a high glycemic diet may leave you more prone to acne breakouts (1).
  • Other causes include bad environmental conditions, like pollution and a sedentary lifestyle (1).

There are a few signs and symptoms you can look out for if you suspect that you have acne. Find out more about them in the next section.

Signs And Symptoms

Pimples themselves are a symptom of acne. However, you may mistake rashes or allergic boils for pimples. Here are some signs that indicate the breakout on your face is a pimple (1):

  • Skin bumps (especially after you eat fatty food or leave your face unwashed for too long)
  • Redness
  • Swelling
  • Bumps with yellow pus at the tips (known as pustules)
  • Tenderness and pain

Alex Hernandez, a licensed esthetician, says, “Some forms of acne can cause mild to severe discomfort for the people experiencing them. This is typically controlled by a few factors like the amount of inflammation present and the area where the pimple is located. Usually, the more inflamed a pimple is, the more painful it can be.”

Pimples can be painful to deal with, which is why many people want to know how to remove pimples overnight at home. Find out if this is possible in the next section.

Is It Possible To Get Rid Of Pimples Overnight?

Pimples are formed as a result of clogged pores. The pores in your skin get clogged with sebum or impurities that give rise to pimples. So, if you want to find out how to get rid of acne overnight, it is fair to tell you that getting rid of the red, inflamed lesion can be a little time-consuming and cannot be treated overnight.

It takes about 2-3 days to see the effect of a treatment procedure on your pimples. If you resort to natural remedies, it could take slightly longer. All these methods aid in fading away the pimples and acne over time, but they cannot be treated overnight.

However, if you are looking to know how to get rid of a pimple overnight, you could try the following methods that will help dry out and reduce the size of the pimple:

  • You could try using a pimple patch or an acne patch. A pimple patch is essentially a hydrocolloidi  XThick, waterproof, moisture-retentive dressings for open wounds. They create a moist and clean environment for wound healing. bandage that may or may not be enhanced with active ingredients. Stick it on the pimple to enable healing and aid the removal of superficial impurities from the site. This could be useful in treating smaller breakouts on your skin.
  • Another quick fix is using concealer on the site of the breakout to hide the pimple temporarily.

Here are some natural ways to reduce the occurrence of pimples.

What You Can Do: Try out stress-relieving therapies like exercise, yoga, meditation, or laughing therapy. You can also talk to a psychologist. Breathing exercises are another good stress management method.

21. Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar (ACV) has gained popularity as a natural remedy for pimples due to its antibacterial and acidic properties. The acetic acid in ACV may help kill bacteria, including the acne-causing P. acnes. Additionally, its natural acids exfoliate the skin, unclogging pores (29). Start with a highly diluted solution and gradually adjust the ratio according to your skin’s tolerance. If you notice any irritation or redness, stop using it and consult a dermatologist. Perform a patch test to avoid adverse reactions. Those with dry skin should not use ACV as it may dry out the skin even more.

What You Can Do: Mix one part of ACV with three parts of water to create a diluted solution. Use a clean cotton ball to apply this mixture directly onto the affected areas after cleansing your face. Leave it on for a few minutes, then wash your face.

Besides these natural remedies, you can also go for some medical treatments to get rid of pimples. Learn more about them in the next section.

Medical Treatment For Pimples

Ruri Ohama, a vlogger, shared her eight-year struggle with acne and her journey to clear skin. She explained that her acne was hormonal and stress-induced. She was prescribed Accutane, a medication for severe acne, which finally cured her acne. She said, “I’m feeling good, and the only thing that I regret is not starting Accutane earlier (i).” She warned viewers against taking this strong drug without a medical prescription.

Now, let’s talk about when you need to see a doctor to get treatment for your pimples.

When To See A Doctor

If you have a mild or moderate case of pimples, it will take about 4-6 weeks to subside completely. But if it persists, you will need to consult your dermatologist. They will be able to determine why over-the-counter options have not worked in your favor. This could have happened due to medication side effects, underlying issues, such as hormonal changes, or due to nodules or cystic acne, which is difficult to manage with home remedies.

Diet That Can Control Breakouts

Certain processed foods, such as dairy products, pasta, sweetened cereal, bread, and instant foods, have a high glycemic index. These foods may cause insulin resistance and may lead to changes in sebum production, resulting in acne (32).

You must take care to decrease the intake of high GI foods and include foods rich in dietary fiber and fatty acids (from salmon and mackerel). Studies suggest that the intake of foods with a low glycemic index and low fat can reduce the occurrence of acne (these are associated with an increased incidence of (33). Consuming antioxidants in the form of fruits like strawberries, blueberries, and other vegetables rich in vitamin A and zinc also have a therapeutic effect on acne.

How Can I Prevent Pimples?

1. Wash your face diligently: Your face can gather dirt and grime over the day, and this can lead to the clogging of the pores and, eventually, pimples. Washing your face well can ensure that the pores are not clogged.

2. Don’t pop your pimples: You must never touch or pop your pimples as this can cause the infection to spread and lead to further breakouts.

3. Stay hydrated: Water is your best friend! Staying hydrated ensures that your skin is replenished and your pores don’t remain clogged by the excessive production of sebum.

4. Limit the use of makeup: If you have skin that is prone to pimples, you should not use makeup too frequently. This can aggravate the issue as it can lead to further clogging of your pores and trigger pimples.

5. Lifestyle Changes: Avoid foods like processed foods, dairy products, etc. as these are associated with an increased incidence of acne (34). Make sure that you work out regularly as this can help replenish your skin. Also, make sure that you can get adequate rest.

Pimples are a common occurrence. These natural methods may not work for everyone but are worth trying out. If they have no effect on your pimples, you might have other underlying issues that are causing these outbreaks. Consult your dermatologist in such cases.
