It always happens: you wake up to find an obnoxious red pimple starting you back in the face. And the worst part is, tomorrow you have that big party to attend and the last thing you want is to feel self conscious about a zit. These quick acne remedies will help clear up your skin overnight and get rid of any blemishes before they turn into bigger problems. One thing you can try is ice. Simply wrap an ice cube in a piece of cloth and apply on your pimple for half a minute. This is one of the best quick acne remedies because it helps freeze the pores and removes dirt and oil. You can also try applying white toothpaste directly onto blemishes and leave on overnight. By the next morning, you should see a noticeable improvement in the size of your pimples. Read

You can also make your own mask by mixing honey and cinnamon powder then apply on your face. It helps cleanse and moisturize skin and calms inflammations. Manuka honey and tee tree oil also work well but usually are most effective on smaller pimples. Just apply these to the affected areas and wash off in the morning. Lemon juice is another great product that helps work as an astringent by shrinking pores and helps pimples go down in size. Check out
