I need to be clear in 4 days!

[rachaelskate]

My bf is moving back from Texas in 4 days
and I have some scabs on my face.
How do i make them go away faster!

Also, I cant stop getting out my blackheads
How do you get rid of them without ruining your face?

umm, well if you go hands off for 4 days and moisturise (try some aloe) I think you can clear up Or at least try to keep picking to a minimum. And remember that your boyfriend is coming to see you, not judge you.

maybe a clay mask would help your blackheads? When I get that picky feeling it helps me to just do something nice for my whole face, and then I don't really wanna pick at it as much. I guess it disrupts the habit.

neosporin works wonders

Yeah Polysporin or Neosporin works great for fast healing. If you put it on overnight and cover it somehow that works well. Also I wear it in the daytime under my concealer if I have a scab and it helps a lot. Keeping it moist makes the concealer cover it up better.

I use a really gentle non-exfoliant product on my own face, because I've always found that anything else will dry me out & only trigger me to pick more (in that case, for "dead skin") It's made by Avon and somewhat new- called "Keep it Clean" in an orange tube. It's VERY gentle, and when I use it for cleaning the skin, I can use neosporin or other healing ointments afterward without creating more breakouts. If I use regular soap however, the oiliness of the ointments tends to discolor my face. Just some ideas.. I've also had some luck with toner, minimizing the pores on my face which seems to improve the texture of my skin further.

I strongly recommend a nice hot shower/facial in the sink (using the gentle cleaning soap) putting a towel over your head and neck and letting it steam you really well afterward. Then pat-dry your face, and apply ointment to your "spots". Let them air for a bit, reapply at bedtime each evening and I'd think they'd clear up quickly. Goodluck!
