I am getting married on Nov 23 and my face is breaking out with acne now, more then normal!!! Im sure it is somehow related to stress, but I want to cry! I went to a dermotologist and have medication for it, but I was wondering if anyone else has any 'secret' home methods for making them disappear!

Re: HELP!! acne from stress!
I broke out terribly just a day before the wedding...it was too late for a dermatologist so I just had to **** it up. Luckily it was mostly covered by makeup but I was not too happy about that idea.
Just relax and try to drink as much water as you can. And if you plan on going to the derm - go NOW! There are meds than can work but it may be too late by next week.

Don't do anything drastic. See a dermatologist now. Just start helping it by washing your face at night with a really mild face soap like Cetaphil. Use oil blotting papers during the day, and go easy on your makeup for the rest of the week..and try to relax!

Re: HELP!! acne from stress!
There is a soap that I get from Clinique that has really helped me. Especially the first couple of days that I go back to using it - I really see results!
It's a bar for oily skin - Don't know if that is what your problem is, but it really helps the acne out!
Good luck - and no matter what, I'm sure you'll be beautiful!

Re: HELP!! acne from stress!
The number one thing dermatologists should recommend is Dove soap and Neutrogena lotion. It's this one called Moisture with SPF 15. White bottle with the SPF 15 words in a light blue colored box. It's great. Both are soothing and helped clear up the skin. The more washing and exfoliating you do initially will make the skin redder. So use the Dove and moisturizer to soothe. Then the skin will clear up and heal with the treatment the derm is doing. I have a great derm if you need one. I did exactly what he said and my skin cleared right up. Drink a lot of water, eat fruit and veggies and meditate. RELAX. Don't have caffeine either.

Don't panic and don't squeeze anything!!! (i know gross) your make-up person will have an easier time covering up a red bump than a scab. Get to the dermatologist. I went and have been taking meds for about 3 weeks and my skin looks great.
With 31/2 days and a very scik mother later my skin is perfect. (at least I have one thing going for me)
Oh and the H2O!!!!! VERY IMPORTANT!

Re: HELP!! acne from stress!
Makeup will cover it. My face got worse the months before my wedding (had a lot of things besides my wedding going on). But as I look in my pictures (see my review) they aren't too visible at all! Don't stress over it!
My derm. doubled my medication a month before my wedding (I have been on med for ab out a year - on and off) and my pimples stayed and my face became super dry. The makeup person said dry skin is actually harder to cover than pimples. So I went back to my regular dosage and the dry skin cleared up.
My derm. also recommended Moisture by Neutrogena as a mousturizer. I never use any because I break out from it but this one seems ok for me.
Other than that try not to stress and drink lots of water!

Re: HELP!! acne from stress!
JN who a lot o sus are using for make-up recomends a product from Clinique (I can not remember the exact name). She says they clear up basically overnight. I am sure even if you are not using her, you can e-mail her through her websit at www.prettyme.com. She is so nice I am sure she will give you the name. I have been lucky so foar, but I plan to pick some up this week or next just in case (better safe than sorry), plus I do get break outs from stress as well, so I want to be prepared.

Re: HELP!! acne from stress!
You're going to think I'm crazy but I swear this method works! Get tea tree oil and dab it on. It wil be gone the next day I PROMISE!!! I think you can get it at a health food store and i think Genovese too.

Re: HELP!! acne from stress!
I have heard this about tea tree oil myself. Helps things like dandruff too, but who wants to put it in their hair? LOL
But it is supposed to do wonders for all types of skin ailments.

Re: HELP!! acne from stress!
I heard about this stuff from a bunch of websites and magazines, and decided to buy it and I love it! It's by Sonya Dakar and it's called drying potion... you put it on before bed (it looks like white out!!) :) it's a miracle! It's what a lot of the celebrities use... it's not cheap...25 for a small bottle but it lasts a long time.... you can get it at www.sonyadakar.com

Re: HELP!! acne from stress!
Alot of times acne is caused by skin being too dry. If you are like me then the minute the tempature goes below 50 your skin turns into the sahara. I use cetafil face cream to mosturize because it doesn't affect the prescrip. and it won't clog your pores and use a humidifier at night. You will notice a huge change. Also don't over wash or scrub. This will aggrevate it too. I am sure you will look beautiful!!!
