A week to go and my face is breaking out.....

maybe its from the tanning I did 2 nights ago?

Sorry just venting.

I really hope so. I also hope my photog doesnt take too many super up close pics where you'll see the bumps.

All I need now is a cold sore.....I've been taking Lysine everyday to try and combat that as I'm prone to them when I'm stressed. I also get them in extreme cold or when I'm in the sun too long.

KNOCK ON WOOD!!! I hope i didnt jinx myself....

I think you need to start doing some breathing exercises or yoga - you sound like youare totally stressing!! If you break out today, they'll be gone ina few days so no worries. Plus, makeup will cover it all. Try to focus on other things.

Drink tons of water and no greasy food, get plenty of sleep and maybe get a massage! anything your makeup artist can't make disappear the photographer can photoshop!

Actually, don't get a massage this close to the date, massages release the toxins in your body, and if there's anything going on beneath the surface, it will start coming out through breakouts. Best to just try to treat it topically, and try to stay relaxed.

Well, you could always get a cortisone shot if you are really desperate, but...I know you will look amazing regardless and Brian will think the same! =)
Photographers can always retouch that type of stuff. I have this vein on my forehead that decides to pop out every time I get stressed (especially in the heat). I feel like Harry Potter, no joke. And I know it will show up in pictures. Hopefully the make up will hide that or I will just tell my photog. to retouch my forehead.

Tips:

Don't touch it because it will only make it worse.

You could apply a hot compress to it. If it is swollen.

Sometimes I put bacitracin (since it is supposed to heal wounds) on a pimple and it seems to clear up faster.

i would get the cortisone shot to tell you the truth. That was my plan all along to go the week of my wedding in case it happened and yes it did happen but my old job screwed me and i had quit and last day was in may so i thought i'd still be fine bc insurance lasts for the whole month you last work there but they purposely paid me earlier in april and i had no insurance they said so i wouldnt have to wait for my money lol.

The MU artist did an amazing job bc i broke out pretty bad just 2 days before the wedding, but i wouldve still liked to have the cortisone shot for even after the wedding lol. Ive had cortisone shots before and they work great.
