... I'm not normally this spotty but I think the weather has made me breakout really bad, is there anything more I can be doing apart from drinking lots of water, using tea tree and I have tried toothpaste in the past but that never seems to work! I need a quick fix method!
I dont want to go out looking like a spotty teenager to celebrate my 27th birthday!
Help?

happy birthday!!! I can sympathise with you, I always seem to breakout at the worst times. I find any on the spot treatment containing salicylic acid work quite quickly to dry up spots. Don't pick them/ squeeze them as it will only make them worse. However, if they won't go, you'll have to hide them. Get a good concealer (I use boots no 7), dab it directly onto the spot then blend the edges into your skin. This works a treat! Don't rub the concealer into the spot as this will just highlight it. Also, don't be tempted to use a heavy foundation as it will cause more spots (especially in this hot weather).
Additional info. I find that some of the treatments designed for teenagers cause my skin to dry out and get sore and red, sometimes looking worse than the original spots! (eg benzoyl peroxide). It's terrible to suffer from a combination of dry skin and spots, it's hard to know what to do, I thought breakouts would be long behind me by my age!!!! (I'm 30 by the way)

Hey, Girl Happy Birthday maybe we can get this thing fixed by Sat.
For bad brake outs I use 10% Benzyol Peroxide. A little dab should do you, but try not to stress out so much that is probably what is creating the acne or even if it is your time of the month. Be sure to wash your face daily right away in the morning and when ever you start to feel oily or yucky through out the day(even if you just use water) it will keep the dirt from clogging pores and try not to use much makeup if your skin is getting really oily. Use NO makeup Around the house and especially when playing sports keep the make up off, it will let your skin breath and heal itself. Trust me it is better to look bad with out make up on for a few days then, having a whole week or even a month with major acne. If you do go out and feel the need to put some makeup on try to use oil free and use a very thin layer, and as soon as you can(get the make up off ). Stay away from Witch Hazel and Alcohol for Astringents use Sea-breeze but not to much it will and can take way natural oils on the skin that protect you and naturally heal you. I really hope this works and I would like to know the out come of it.
I wish you the best in fighting acne and may your Birthday be a celebration for many things.

I wish you the best on your birthday.. A little bit of sun always help for a quick fix, especially if you have access to salt water. get your face wet in salt water, and let it dry in the sun. do this 4 or 5 times a day until then. use a noncomediagenic moisturizer after, and keep you face clean... Most of all, don't pick at or pop the breakouts as this enters bacteria and makes the matters worse. After your birthday, see a dematologist and they can help you in numerous ways... and by the way, you will not have acne for the rest of your life, although I know it seems that way now. I think you need to go out there, smile, laugh, and show everyone the person you really are, not a scared rabit.. You are more than what appears on the outside. My best to you!

On different posts you have complained bitterly of his household and made your dislike of them rather clear. I've unquestionably that is why he is not bringing you to the household excursion. It is not terrible to overlook a birthday. Your high-quality bet on this crisis is to preserve your dislike of his family to your self and be trained to be part of them. Then you will not be left at the back of. Play your cards right and each person will play together. Striking your new husband into the function of getting to select between you or his household is conveniently inexperience to your part. I bet he is taking the possibility to go away with them in view that of the perspective you could have taken at residence. I'm sorry. Of path you wish to have him to choose you instead. But that is not going to make your home and lifestyles a blissful one. Take yourself out on your birthday and do some thing you really like only for your self. Celebrate your self!

Hi. Please don't use toothpaste because it's harmful. I was spotty all my life and spent thousands on cures, but a low dose of antibiotics from my doctor cleared them for ever! Also, try www.cosmeticscop.com/bulletin and subscribe to a FREE Paula Begoun Beauty Bulletin for lots of tips about skin etc. Happy Birthday for Saturday!

On different posts you've gotten complained bitterly of his household and made your dislike of them particularly transparent. I've definitely that's why he is not bringing you to the household vacation. It's now not horrible to overlook a birthday. Your satisfactory guess on this problem is to hold your dislike of his household to your self and be taught to be a aspect of them. Then you will not be left at the back of. Play your playing cards correct and each person will play in combination. Putting your new husband into the function of getting to prefer among you or his household is readily inexperience for your aspect. I guess he takes the possibility to depart with them since of the perspective you've gotten taken at dwelling. I'm sorry. Of path you wish him to prefer you alternatively. But that is not going to make your dwelling and existence a pleased one. Take your self out for your birthday and do anything you quite like only for your self. Celebrate your self!

Not really a quick fix, but it works as a long term thing for me - mix a drop of tea tree oil with your moisuriser each morning then apply it to your face.
Might work quickly enough, try it!
Other than that, just get really drunk so you don't care!!

there aren't really any quick fixes. The only thing you can do is keep drinking water...eat pure foods and wash and exfoliate your face. If you still have problems, I would invest in a stellar foundation...cover it up where you need it. I suggest Trucco products. You can get them at Trade Secret. I adore their foundation and powder. It covers like you cant imagine. Its better than anything you get in a department store.

Lightly scratch the heads of your spots then cover them in tooth paste, not only does it burn the inffection but it also suffocates it, you'll need to leave it on for around 3 hours, no longer than that as it will leave red marks on you face.
If that fails where concealer ive done it before aand im as straight as a nail.

Try bathing in a solution of 10 Molar Sulphuric Acid - that should do the trick.
