icedoutflossyj Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 my gfs prom is on friday..and i have more acne than i'd like to have. i just want it gone asap, any body got any ideas? Link to comment
lil_kaila Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Steaming maybe? And a good cleanser/tonic and some anti-acne moisturizer. But don't all of a sudden start overusing products because that will only make it worse if your skin isn't used to that. Link to comment
Daddy Bear Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 get yourself a nice sunburn. even if your skin is already dark, sun exposure can have a noticeable effect on your acne. it's a temporary fix but might do the trick for the prom. Link to comment
Siriana Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Well, you can't get rid of acne in five days. Sorry. I had problem with acne 4 years ago on my face and you have to take serious treatment that your dermatologist prescribes you. So, consider doing that, no matter when the prome is. And about what to do in these 5 days - well it's weird but it helps - you can put some tooth paste on acne before you go to sleep. Normal toothpaste that contains flour. It helps, I have no idea why. But DON'T even think of that as a long term solution. And don't forget to rinse it off in the morning - just to avoid looking stupid Link to comment
alyira Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Tea tree oil seems to do it for me. Just one lil dab before I go to bed. You can pick it up in any decent pharmacy. Link to comment

Daddy Bear Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 this webpage busts the mythical food/acne connection, and it has some cautionary words about my sun idea: link removed Link to comment
Siriana Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Yes, you're not allowed to go to get nice sunburn - see helps, but you need to avoid the sun. Tea tree oil is great too. Link to comment
hazeleyed Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Proactiv works...its expensive but it works wonders!!! Link to comment
icedoutflossyj Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 i already use 10% BP in the mornings, and differin gel (i forget the rx) in the evenings...the sunburn idea sounded good but then it got shot down lol..any other ideas? i used to be on accutane, which got rid of all my acne for a period of time, but obviously it's come back.
