If tomorrow you have an important interview, graduation, photo shoot, or you are just worried about the purity of your skin, there is a very simple and effective way. It usually takes several weeks for the skin to be clear and healthy again. Most scientifically approved methods take days to work. However, there are holistic approaches that some find effective. Although they have not been scientifically proven, there is ample evidence to support their effectiveness. If you're looking to try cleansing your skin in one day, some natural face masks and targeted treatments might work for you.

Steps

Method 1 of 4: Face masks and creams

  1. 1 Try a clay mask. Some people believe that clay masks are capable of penetrating the skin and removing oils and bacteria. It helps to quickly cleanse the skin, after giving the face a fresh look. To make this mask, you will need cocoa powder, white clay powder (kaolin), and distilled water. All of these ingredients can be easily purchased at your local natural food store. You may have difficulty finding kaolin, so order online.
    • Pour 1 tablespoon of clay and 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder into a bowl and mix thoroughly. Then add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) water and stir until a paste forms.
    • Using your fingers, apply a thin layer of the paste to your face. Rub the mask from top to bottom. Do not apply the mask too close to the eyes and lips.
    • Leave the mask on for 15 minutes. When the mask dries a little, rinse it off your face and pat it dry with a clean, dry towel.
  2. 2 Try aloe gel. Gels with 50% aloe vera have been shown to improve the effectiveness of many OTC skin care products. These studies were conducted over 8 weeks, so one day may not be enough to cleanse your skin with this method. However, some adherents of folk remedies and holistic medicine believe that aloe vera can quickly get rid of problem areas on the skin and acne. The gel is recommended to be applied directly to the rash and pimples and washed off only after an hour.
  3. 3 Wash your face with over-the-counter acne products. When it comes to skin cleansing, there are some over-the-counter products worth noting. While they don't promise to clear skin overnight, they are beneficial for those looking for clear skin. If you're trying to cleanse your skin with various masks and creams, wash your face with over-the-counter acne products. This will help speed up the action of natural products and, therefore, the skin cleansing process itself.
    • Give preference to products in which the active ingredient is benzoyl peroxide, as well as products containing sulfur, resorcinol and salicylic acid.
    • If you're trying to cleanse your skin in one day, use over-the-counter products with caution. They can have side effects such as redness and flaking of the skin. We advise you to use already proven OTC products in combination with other methods.

Method 2 of 4: Folk remedies

  1. 1 Rub the garlic into problem areas. According to empirical research, garlic is a powerful natural antibiotic with antifungal properties. Some people believe that it is able to get rid of the bacteria responsible for acne and pimples. Try cutting the garlic in half and rubbing it into the pimples. Leave the garlic juice on for 5 minutes, then rinse it off your skin with lukewarm water. Repeat this procedure as many times as necessary.
    • Naturally, there is no guarantee that garlic will work. If you feel itchy or irritated after the first try, stop using garlic. You should avoid anything that can aggravate the situation.
  2. 2 Peel your skin with a cucumber. According to some studies, cucumber contains chemicals and vitamins that can help make your skin look healthier. Some believe that this makes cucumber a fast-acting acne remedy. Cucumber can be used in several ways to cleanse your skin quickly.
    • Grate the cucumber and apply it to problem areas. Leave the cucumber for 20 minutes and then remove.
    • Slice a cucumber and place it in clean water. Soak the cucumber for an hour to drain the nutrients into the water. Then strain the solution and wash with this water.
    • Prepare a face mask. Grate the cucumber and combine with a glass (90 g) oatmeal. Add plain yogurt and stir until a paste forms. Apply the mask to your face, leave it on for 30 minutes, and then wash off with lukewarm water.
  3. 3 Apply honey to problem areas. Some people believe that honey has certain properties that speed up the healing of the skin. The research done on this issue has been largely inconclusive, showing very little evidence regarding the effectiveness of honey in treating skin problems. However, some people claim that honey helped them clear their skin quickly. If you still want to try cleaning your skin in a day, wash your face, replacing your usual skin cleaner with honey, and watch the result.
  4. 4 Use steam. Steam treatments can quickly cleanse your skin by removing dirt, dust and oils without worsening acne or rashes. Bring your face to a bowl of boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Check if the skin becomes clearer after this procedure.
    • Don't lean too close to the water to scald your face.

Method 3 of 4: Treating Your Skin Before Bed

  1. 1 Treat problem areas with drying lotion. Purchase a drying lotion from your local drugstore or supermarket. Find an antibacterial lotion that contains sulfur and salicylic acid. Use a cotton swab to apply the lotion to pimples and blackheads.
  2. 2 Apply lemon juice and leave overnight. Many people believe that lemon has antibacterial properties and that it can quickly get rid of acne. Squeeze some fresh lemon juice. Then take a cotton swab, soak it in lemon juice and apply to problem areas. Leave the juice on until morning and check to see if it cleans up the skin.
  3. 3 Don't give up on healthy sleep. A good sleep will help improve the appearance of your skin the next day. Try to get at least 8 hours of sleep a night. Be sure to turn off all electronics, as the blue screen of phones and laptops has a stimulating effect on the brain. Try doing something relaxing before bed (like reading) to prepare yourself for relaxation.
  4. 4 Wash yourself before going to bed. If you want to quickly cleanse your skin, start washing your face before bed. Use a mild leather cleaner and warm water. Do not rub your skin too hard to avoid irritation.

Method 4 of 4: Maintaining Healthy Skin

  1. 1 Use SPF moisturizers. If you want your skin to stay clean, you should take steps to protect it. The sun can damage the skin, making it prone to pimples and acne. Apply an SPF moisturizer to your skin every day to protect it from the sun's rays.
  2. 2 Eat a healthy diet. Nutrition can affect your skin. To achieve long-term benefits, you need to eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. The connection between nutrition and skin is still not clear, but according to some studies, a healthy diet can make skin visibly younger and healthier.
  3. 3 Avoid contact with irritants. Harsh soaps, some laundry detergents and other substances that come into contact with the skin can cause irritation. If you notice that your skin does not react well to certain substances, stop using them immediately.
  4. 4 Reduce your stress levels. If you get acne a lot, reducing your stress levels can help prevent various skin problems. Stress makes the skin more sensitive, resulting in acne and irritation.
    • Yoga, deep breathing, and meditation can help manage stress. Search the Internet for videos of yoga and meditation exercises, or search for activities in your area.
    • Regular exercise can also help relieve stress. Take an energetic walk every morning to get your thoughts in order.

Warnings

  • Skin problems can hardly be solved overnight. Please note that some methods can work well, while others can lead to skin irritation. If you have a negative reaction to one of the above methods, stop using it immediately.
  • If you're having trouble getting rid of a rash, an unusual mole, or a dark spot, talk to a dermatologist instead of trying to fix the problem yourself.
