Overnight Mask

Overnight Mask to Get Clear Skin Overnight

If you're someone who only suffers from the occasional pimple, you can use your fave face mask as an overnight spot treatment. Choose a heavy-duty skin-saver like Peter Thomas Roth Therapeutic Sulfur Masque ($47), pop it on your pimple before bed, and wake up to see it almost completely gone. (via Allure)

DIY Face Mask

Whip up a spa-worthy mask right in your own home using strawberries and some Greek yogurt to help smooth bumps and unclog pores. Smooth it on, kick back, and try not to eat it all up. (via Hub Pages)

Spot Treatment

Before bed, use a spot treatment containing a combination of sulfur and salicylic acid. Try Mario Badescu Drying Lotion for $17 to kill bacteria and clean out the pores. After cleaning your face, use a Q-tip to apply a spot treatment directly to any budding blemishes. (via Daily Makeover)

Honey

A great natural solution for sensitive skin, honey moisturizes skin and is non-irritating. It also helps to soothe skin and reduce irritation. (via Refinery 29)

Aspirin Or Baking Soda

Dissolve an aspirin in a little water and then apply the paste to the spot for no more than five minutes. The reason this works is that aspirin and baking soda contain the same acid that many acne treatments use to exfoliate dry skin and decrease redness.
