How to Get Rid of Pimples & Acne Fast

Pimples and acne. Just about everyone has to deal with an outbreak at one time or another and it usually happens before a major life event, like the first day of school or your wedding day. Unfortunately, there is no way yet to get rid of a pimple or acne in an hour, but we can show you a few ways to make those blemishes look better overnight or in just a few days with the right skincare routine.

Invest in a facial cleanser
A quality exfoliating cleanser helps unclog pore to treat pimples and acne and prevent recurrence. Lexi Noel Beauty Organic Vegan Facial Cleanser is a gentle cream cleanser that keep your skin healthy and happy. It minimizes the appearance of pores and neutralizes without irritating your skin. Infused with green tea leaf extract, aloe green juice, organic olive fruit oil, it delivers a clean, green cleansing experience that will leave your skin soft and hydrated. Our facial cleanser is vegan, paraben-free, gluten-free, phthalate-free.

Exfoliate, Exfoliate, Exfoliate
Lexi Noel Beauty Facial Exfoliant retextures, smooths, and renews dully, dry, bumpy skin. Our formula whisks away surface dryness. It dissolves dead skin and refines its texture with Jojoba Beads and moisturizes with Organic Aloe, Organic Coconut and Jojoba Oil, soothing Organic Lavender and Calendula. It also minimizes pores and absorbs oil to help control breakouts (meaning no shiny T-zone). Use as needed (3 to 4 times a week).

Best Quick Fix: Hydrocortisone Cream
Over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream is great to repair redness overnight, but remember not to use it for more than three nights. Use a cream that is not too thick so it won't clog your pores; one that's hyaluronic acid-based is best because hyaluronic acid is a water-binding molecule that doesn't clog pores.

Try a DIY pimple treatment
Aspirin: a crushed aspirin helps dry up acne and lessens inflammation
Opaque toothpaste: not gel, can also be used to dry up pimples
Ice; constricts blood vessels and lessens redness
You may not be able to get 'rid' of a pimple overnight, but you can make it look better so it appears to be gone. Hello, clear skin!
