Can I just complain about my face?

I have had clear skin the whole time I have been planning my wedding...now its 2 1/2 weeks until the wedding and I have 6 pimples/zits/red little bumps on my chin! COUNT IT 6!!! What the hell???  Ugh. This needs to clear up and fast. I already got rid of one the other day so that made 7 in the past week.

Re: Can I just complain about my face?

  • Can you afford a spa trip?  I have adult acne (clear skin until I was 19!  Curse the world!) and what I found really works for me is regular trips to get facials.  If I have something important coming up I'll go in about two weeks before (because I break out for about a week after) and it's never failed me!  

    It could also be hormones and it may clear up in a few days!

    I believe in a lot of things. I believe in fresh tennis balls, the healing power of bunnies, and that the novels of Susan Sontag are something I'll never read. In fact, I don't even know who Susan Sontag is. What is she... like... a painter? I believe in Crystal Lite because I believe in ME. I believe in the movies of Val Kilmer, though these days it ain't so easy. I believe in Darren Sproles, the word "dabble", the first season of "Silk Stockings", and big, warm, moist, gooey chocolate chip cookies that melt in your mouth and all over your face.

  • I feel your pain! It doesn't help that I have been congested lately and blowing my nose.  Apparently my skin doesn't like the puff plus lotion.  I never breakout!! I am thinking about getting a facial to get rid of them and anything else currently under the skin. 
  • Make sure you don't over wash your face because it will just dry your skin out and make it worse.  Just continue to use your normal cleansing routine and if it's close to TOM it may be what's causing more break outs.  I always break out more around this time.  Hopefully they will start going away soon.  If you wear makeup maybe you could not wear it for a few days.
  • I like Neutrogena Rapid Clear zit cream for quick results!  It helps :)  I know the feeling as I have adult acne too :(

  • Probably related to stress!  As impossible as it sounds, try and relax. 

    I have acne prone skin, so a pre-wedding break out is up there on my list of wedding concerns.. but there's some things you can do.  Drink lots of water... and, if you can bring yourself to do it, go a few days without makeup.  I also find using a mask helps when I start to break out... and I loooove the Clinique spot treatment!
  • I second the no makeup suggestion (if you wear it all the time). I have no makeup Wednesdays (since thats the day I work from home).  Plus I'm being very conscious of not touching my face/leaning on my hand. I'm so terrified of breaking out right now!
