In order to learn how to get rid of blackheads, you need to first know what causes them. If you know this, you will then be able to put together the best plan of action for defeating this problem. Blackheads are named as such because they are typically black in colour. It must be remembered that it is not dirt that provides for the coloration but the accumulation of the dark pigment called melanin, skin particles and excess skin debris. Again it must be stressed that dirt is not the cause of acne. Washing the face or keeping the skin clean at any condition is not to expel the dirt from the skin, it is only to prepare the skin for further treatment. People do not realise that it is unhealthy to wash the skin for more than twice a day. The reason being that this may further aggravate the condition and actually spread the infection into other sections of the skin tissues. The other two types of acne are whitehead and mild inflammatory acne known as popules, postules nodules and cysts. Fundamentally, blackhead formations are done mainly due to excess sebum production by the sebaceous glands, trapped in the pores of the skin. If sebum hardens near the upper layers of the skin, it will clog the skin openings and form a plug. There are two forms of mild inflammatory acne. There is the popules, these are red, inflamed acne and the other type is the pustules. It is characterized by the collection of white matter in the center of the pus. Under any condition, an acne-inflicted person must not try to force the whiteheads, blackheads or the forms of mild inflammatory acne to burst without the regulation of the doctor as this action may infect the skin and may worsen the state of the skin disorder. Popping out the pustule of the acne or the plugs in whiteheads and blackheads may leave the skin open t bacterial attack that may lead to scarring. Oral and topical medications must not be used without the supervision of a physician. Principally, topical medications are aids in neutralizing the bacteria found in the skin and when combined with other chemical agents, may help deplete the overproduced sebum, making an allowance for acne spots to eventually heal. Here are just a few of the ways to remove blackheads. 1. Be sure to exfoliate the area of the skin that is most prone to blackheads. If possible this should be done up to three or four times a day. This will help to ensure that your pores of free of dead skin and other oils that may build up and cause these zits to occur. 2. Use creams that are meant to clear away dead skin cells. This will help to expose the blackhead so that you can more easily get rid of it with other treatment options. 3. Try to keep your hair away from your face. Your hair contains greasy oils that can cause blackheads and even spread infection. 4. Do not over wash your face. Some people are under the impression that the more they wash, the better chance they have of getting rid of blackheads. This is just a myth. Washing your face with soap one or two times a day is plenty. Overall, you can start the road to clearer skin by following the four tips above.

ANSWER:
There's probably nothing you can do to completely rid your face of pimples overnight, but what works for me is putting toothpaste on the pimples before you go to bed. Leave it on while you sleep, and it should dry them out by the next day- obviously not completely though!
As weird as it sounds, it's effective Image may be NSFW.

QUESTION:
How to get rid of a pimple overnight ?
How do I get rid of a pimple overnight or In a day with home remedies ,thankyou-
ANSWER:
Hello,How to Get Rid of Acne:
Lemon Juice
Rub fresh lemon juice on your pimples with a gentle hand. The bleaching properties of lemon juice lighten the skin and thus reduce its appearance. Moreover, it removes the topmost layer of the skin surface where bacteria grows and controls the infection. Thus the healthy underlying skin is revealed. If you hesitate to use concentrated lemon juice on the pimple as you fear it may cause skin irritation, then you can dilute it with rose water.Application of Ice
This is an easy way to get rid of pimples overnight. You have to pack up some crushed ice in an aluminum foil in order to prevent them from getting melted quickly. Then put it inside a plastic bag and wrap up the pack with a thin towel. Now apply it over the pimples for 10 to 15 minutes. This will shrink the pores forcing the oil and dirt out of it. When the two main culprits are out, you can expect the pimple to clear up in no time.Toothpaste
You can get rid of pimples overnight using toothpaste. Many people find it highly beneficial for this purpose. Take some toothpaste on the tip of your finger and apply it on the pimple in such a way that the entire pimple is covered up with the toothpaste properly. Leave it on the pimple overnight. Next morning when you wash it off with warm water, you will be pleasantly surprised with the result. The trick is that the toothpaste absorb all the oil from the pimple and reduce its size so much that it becomes invisible. However, a toothpaste with gel content is not suitable for this treatment.Baking Soda
Baking soda is considered as one of the best home remedies for getting rid of pimples overnight. Prepare a thick paste using one cup of baking soda, 3 tablespoons of salt and some water. Rub this paste gently over the affected areas of your face making small circular motions. Leave it on the acne for few minutes and then wash your face with cool water. The exfoliant property of the salt removes the dead skin cells from the pores. The baking soda soften up the skin and restore the normal pH balance of the skin. As a result, the pimple clears up fast.Egg Mask
A simple egg mask can help you in getting rid of pimples from your face. Take one or two eggs as per your requirement. Break them and separate the white portion of the eggs from the yolk. It is the egg white that you need to apply as facial mask on your face. Keep it on the face overnight and then wash off with cold water.Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is known for its healing and disinfecting properties. To apply it, start with washing the face thoroughly with an antibacterial soap. Pat dry with a towel and then taking a cotton ball apply apple cider vinegar evenly on the affected skin. Leave on for fifteen minutes before washing it off with cold water.Steam and Clean
In the very initial stages of acne when it is still a small zit or just in the form of whitehead and blackhead you can try doing this. Clean your face with cleansing milk using cotton pads. Now scrub it with a gentle face scrub. Take steam on your face for about 8-10 minutes. Now take a sterilized blackhead remover and clean the blackheads and whiteheads. You can also try squeezing pimples if they are very small. Use a clean cotton pad to clean the pus or blood that flows out. Now finish by cleaning the area with an antiseptic lotion or a toner. This procedure will help keep your skin clean and avoid further acne breakouts. Following this everyday before going to bed is one of the easiest ways to get rid of acne fast at home.Acne Prevention Tips
Do not touch the skin areas which are affected by acne with your fingers, as it can spread the infection to other skin areas as well.
Maintain hygiene i.e., use clean bed sheets, pillow cases and towels. Dirty towels can be the breeding ground of germs and bacteria, thereby causing severe cases of acne breakouts.
Dandruff and oil in hair can cause acne too, so to prevent that, avoid doing such hair styles which make your hair touch or fall on your face.
Exercise everyday as it helps in proper blood circulation, and adequate transfer of oxygen to all the body cells. Exercising will help in both reducing stress and preventing acne.
Take shower after undertaking any kind of exercise or physical activity to prevent dirt and sweat from getting accumulated in the skin pores.
Drink lots of fluids and water as it will help in elimination of wastes and toxins from the body, resulting in a blemish free, glowing skin.Take care! Mama Bear

QUESTION:
What are some ways to get rid of pimples/acne ?
Do you have any ways to get rid of pimples/acne overnight or at least really soon I tryed the toothpaste and it didnt work and home stuff not proactive or clean and clear-
ANSWER:
Well first of all, never pop your pimples! It just increases the risk of scarring and infections, no one would like to have their face covered in scars.Second, use a facial cleansing soap for acne.
I use 'Garnier Pure active Exfoliating daily wash Anti-excess oil/Anti-Impurities'. This facial wash helped me a lot, I used to get like so many pimples on my temples and a few on my forehead, nose and a very little on my chin; ever since I bought this wash, they've disappeared in less than a week! I recommend it.
If you don't have Garnier in your region, just go to a dermatologist and have him prescribe you with creams/soaps/wipes suited for your skin condition and type (going to a dermatologist is quite more accurate).
Or just simply go to a pharmacist and ask for an effective pimple cream/soap/wipes that is suited for your skin type Image may be NSFW.
