well when i was younger iw ent through that, and my mom hd some aloe vera plants growing outside and you just got off some of that and put it in ur face, it smells bad but of course u wash it off before you go anywhere, and you should put it on before bed so that it stays on over night and gets into ur pores, it helped me clear them up in a few days, but it has to be FRESH aloe vera plant, hope you can get ur hands on some, otherwisethis info isn't very helpful, GOOD LUCK!

I've suffered with acne for about 20 years. I doubt you will be able to reduce your acne much by Friday, you might want to look into doing the picture make up day. Your acne will increase temporarily when you put on medication such as benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. To reduce your acne you can rub on 2% (available on line), 5% (Nature's Cure) or 10% (Clearasil) benzoyl peroxide. Be gentle and do it after your skin dries from washing. Put on a little moisturizer. I use Na-PCA. Use a sterilized needle to prick white heads. Pull the skin away from the zit to let the pus come out rather than squishing it.
Getting additional Vitamin A in my diet either through supplements, or foods such as apricots has helped me. I also take flax seed oil which softens my skin. I have found that being in front of a fire in the fireplace helps. Keeping things from touching acne prone areas such as coat collars and hair seems to help.
I'm currently trying out the Acne blue light. The light I have is a combination of red and blue light. Studies have shown this to be effective for some 80% Acne sufferers. You might look into it as well. If your Acne clears up continue the treatment you are doing. Hopefully you will grow out of having acne.

Lots of short term solutions already given in this forum but for long term skin health drink lots of water, eat healthy nourishing, wide variety of food and don't put any cheap cosmetics on your face.
Your skin absorbs what you put on it, just as what you put in your mouth gets absorbed.
Go organic is the best

I don't want to advertise this, but Proactive never worked for me, so I tried this cheap huge tub of cream that you can get just about anywhere. It's called Noxzema and it's REALLY good you can get a huge thing of it for like five dollars.

Wash your face really well, use an acne wash such as Clearasil, and if you're really desprate, cover the offending zits with makeup.

Go to this website. I don't want to sound like a commercial, but it changed my skin for good.
www.acne.org
You don't need to buy their stuff -- just buy a lotion with benzoyl peroxide. You can get some at the drug store.
