The first day of school, a birthday party, a wedding, a job interview or a date with that special someone: These are all terrible times to suffer from an outbreak in acne. You want to look your best, and part of that is having clean, clear skin. You don't have the time to go and pick up a prescription medication. So, for people who need to know how to get rid of acne overnight, here are some helpful tips.

First, before you do anything else, you need to wash your skin. Rather than using an expensive cleanser that will dry out and abrade your skin, use a mild soap and warm water to remove any oil on the surface of your skin.

When that is done, it's time to exfoliate. You want to get rid of the layer of dead skin on your face to help make room for new, clean skin, but you don't want to scour your face red. A mild facial scrub should be enough. You can even make your own by mixing together sugar, toothpaste - not gel - and a bit of water. Mix them together until you have a paste and gently apply the paste to your face. Massage it into your skin, paying special attention to your problem areas, and then rinse it off with warm water.

Did you know that toothpaste, as long as it's not the gel form, can help fight acne? Simply apply a small bit of toothpaste on your problem area and leave it there for 15-20 minutes before washing it off and patting - not rubbing - your face dry.

Trying a face mask is another possible solution. One recommendation is an oatmeal mask made of plain oatmeal, not the flavored kind. Did you know oatmeal is good for absorbing and lifting away the oil from the surface of your skin? You can also use a face mask of egg whites which are rich in vitamin A. This mask will not only help exfoliate, it will also help tighten and firm the skin.

Applying alcohol or eye drops to the area can also help. Simply wet a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol or a bottle of eye drops, and dab it over the acne.

If you don't have rubbing alcohol on hand, you can also try another alternative that you can make yourself. Mix a half teaspoon of tomato juice and one teaspoon honey together, mixing until it forms a paste. This combination can be very helpful for people who need to know how to get rid of acne overnight rather than over the weekend. Or, if you don't have tomato juice on hand, try apple cider vinegar or some hydrogen peroxide to help dry the skin faster.

Natural herbal remedies such as burdock, sarsaparilla and yellow dock have been shown to have a healing effect on skin attacked by acne. Tea tree oil, or a mixture of groundnut oil and lime or lemon juice, and even rosewater have been known to help. Try one or try them all until you find the mixture that works for you and your skin.

Lastly, have a good night's sleep. Remember not to sleep on your acne's side.

However, no two people have the same skin, and you might still have signs of a blemish in the morning. Try an ice pack to reduce signs of redness and irritation, and when using a concealer remember not to use an oil based cosmetic. Try a mineral based powder instead.

There are many prescription and over the counter medications that can help you with your acne. You might even have already tried one or two of the remedies listed in this article. Remember that, when trying to find out how to get rid of acne overnight, the more severe your outbreak, the more time you will need to recover.

Your skin will, in the end, heal in its own time. Every tip and trick here helps to speed up your recovery and reduce signs of swelling and irritation. Rarely will a truly severe outbreak be healed overnight, but with these helpful hints, hopefully that small blemish will be quickly and easily taken care of.

Are you tired of all the attention those acne draw to your face? Do you think that you spend too much time trying to get rid of them just to have them return? Stop driving yourself crazy and check acne info. Also check all about blackheads.
