Wash Your Face
The best thing you can do is wash your face before bed, and if you want to target acne, there are plenty of cleansers to choose from. Don’t forget to pay attention to your T-zone and jawline, and once you’re done cleansing, pat your face gently with a clean towel.
Face Masks
Making your own face mask is easy since you most likely already have the ingredients in your kitchen. There are endless face mask recipes, and they’re a great, cheap alternative to the face masks you find in stores.
Aloe Vera
Aloe vera helps with mild to moderate acne by calming the inflammation. The best way to use it is to buy pure aloe vera, then rub it all over your face like a cleanser, or you can use it as a spot treatment overnight.
Retinol
Not only does retinol treat acne, but it can also treat brown spots, sun damage, and wrinkles. Retinol should only be used at night, and this treatment works by “stimulating the metabolism of skin cells and encouraging collagen production,” according to dermatologist Renée Rouleau.
Sleep
Sleep is the best thing you can do for your body, since a lack of sleep is what causes breakouts. Make sure you go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, and limit nicotine and caffeine intake before bed.
