3 Quick Acne Cure Masks To Get You To The Party With Great Looking Skin

By Felix Schmieder

How many times have you desperately needed a quick acne cure to get rid of that horrifying breakout? You know what breakout I'm talking about; the one you get just days before an important event that you've been looking forward to attending.

Well, stop panicking, here are a few ways to help clear up those problem breakouts in a short amount of time. Try one or two of these masks to get your skin ready for that big party or for that important date.

A great quick acne cure that tons of people are using everywhere is putting baking soda on their face. Just mix in a little bit of water and spread it on your face. For those problem areas, just put a slightly thicker coating over it and let it sit for a good 5 to 10 minutes and rinse it off.

Another great treatment is to make a mask with aspirin. When looking for aspirin, try to get uncoated pills because they're much easier to crush into a powder. Now just pop two to help with your headache, and then crush some more and mix it with water. Let this sit on your face for about 15 minutes and then rinse it off.

This one is great for reducing breakouts. Aspirin is basically a form of beta hydroxy acid, which is a fancy way of saying salicylic acid. Not only will it give you a deep down clean of your pores, but it will also exfoliate dead skin cells, dry up current break outs, and help prevent future breakouts. Not to shabby!

The final quick acne cure we'll take a look at is made with oatmeal and yogurt. That's plain yogurt and plain oatmeal, mind you. All you have to do is mix them up and put them on your face like the other two. This one can be a bit messy so you might want to do it before you shower.

These quick acne cure masks are great for reducing acne breakouts in a short amount of time. On top of that, they won't break the bank and they're all gentle enough to use everyday. You might want to double up, maybe using the aspirin mask at night while using the yogurt and oatmeal mask in the morning.

Unfortunately, nothing will clear your acne overnight. These quick acne cure masks all work wonders at clearing breakouts given a few days time, but there's nothing that will clear a pimple overnight. The only alternative is to avoid breakouts in the first place.
