Acne emergency

[Cybercode]

So lately I haven't had acne till just now. And perfect timing cause I have yearbook pics in 3 days. Is there any way I can cover up, hide, or get rid of it before Monday?

Well if you want to prevent acne you should wash your face every day and night, if you have oily skin then you should use non-oil based washes. I suggest neutrogena. If you want to get rid of that acne quickly then try using an acne cream, creams usually don't prevent you from getting acne so use it after you wash your face.

So wash your face and apply some kind of acne cream. If the acne is still there on yearbook pic day then try covering it with makeup.

i agree with poison just wash your face EVERYDAY and it shall go away :)

Regular care, washing your face daily depending on how oily or dirty your face is can determine how much you wash it.

Also neosporine can help reduce inflammation, I use it and it helps a lot.

I use Neutrogena face wash to clean my face, and it works, but not in a matter of days. It usually takes about a week for my acne to go away. Since you have your pictures tomorrow, cover them up with makeup. If they're your senior pictures, they usually edit them to remove any acne or anything unwanted on your face (at least mine do).

Washing your face is a great way to prevent, but if you are trying to get rid of the acne you need to clean your pores inside and out. The best way is to sweat. The heat opens your pores and the sweat will clean them out. All you need to do is wash your face periodically while sweating.

Wash your face with soap or something.

Try some acne cream that (says) it will go away in a few days.

Wash your face with a cleanser preferably containing 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide. I've been using a honey mask for the past few weeks as an after-wash treatment. Honey is a natural anti-septic.

Some acne is just persistent. I'm on antibiotics (been on for like 6 months+) and have a prescribed Differin gel to put on face each night. Wash my face every morning/night and the acne is still there... it has got better, but you know..

Best bet is working out some make up tbh

A more long term solution may be Oxytetracycline (spelling?) Ask your GP about it.

Oh, and with the photos, I have that problem too. Don't worry about it.

The most important thing to do is wash your face with any medical soap, then wipe a light layer of cleanser over your face and then moisturise.

The soap will open up and clean out your pores. The cleanser will then remove the dirt from your face and close up your pores again so dirt can't get back in. The moisturiser will stop the other products from crying your skin out.

The best brand is Clinique as it shows a considerable difference within four weeks and they give you regular check-ups to see if the products you are using are suitable and if you have a reaction they take the whole product off the market and find out what was wrong, as well as giving you a full refund!
