How to get rid of spots overnight

From crushed aspirin to nappy rash cream- there are a few ways to help ease angry red spots overnight - just don't use toothpaste or squeeze them yourself.

Here is 5 ways to get rid of spots overnight:

1). Try either a warm or cold compress

Both of these work in different ways.

Or warm compress of steam bath will help bring all that grot to the surface. Then, once the spots appear, apply a treatment like tea tree oil or hydrocortisone cream.

A cold compress is good for existing pimples as it will help with the swelling, redness and soreness.

2). Resist the urge to squeeze, pick or extract yourself

Dermatologists do this all the time because they have the tools for the job. You probably don't. Using your fingers to squeeze out that nasty pus puts you at the risk of infection, and may mean your skin takes longer to heal. This could lead to scarring. And that's a lot harder to conceal than a zit.

3). try taking some crushed aspirin

It's not just handy when you have a headache. Aspirin, with its anti-inflammatory properties, can be useful when your skin goes a little rogue.

4). Try Tea tree oil

Tea tree oil is like a skincare miracle worker. You can use it on insect bites - and even less savoury conditions, like athlete's foot.

It's also a known "cure" for spots and blemishes too.

5). Go easy on the make-up

You should be washing your face as a matter of course every night anyway.
If you do wear make-up though, be extra thorough  when removing it - and try to forego it for a day if possible.

If you're not keen on this, then try to use mineral makeup on your skin rather than oil- based products, which can actually cause these break-outs in the first place.
