Oh, no-a pimple

I woke up this morning with the pimple of the century! I can deal with it today, but what if my wedding was tomorrow? Just thinking about it is enough stress to probably cause another breakout!

My brother insists that toothpaste on a pimple will dry it right up, but that doesn't seem to work for me.

Anyone have any sure-fire solution to hide a wedding day pimple?

Sigh, I thought all of this would end when I passed puberty...

Re: Oh, no-a pimple

Go to Sephora and get Benefit's Boo Boo Zap. It's heaven in a little glass tube. Dab it on before you put your makeup on, and on top of your makeup. It dries the thing right up.

i used to use toothpaste, i think it worked but it dries the skin around it too. i made a dermatologist appt for the monday of the week of our wedding, and jen made 1 for monday as well. the derm also said if one popped up later in the week, to stop in and he would zap it!

Try Mario Badescu's drying lotion. It is supposed to be the best. I have a friend who swears by it.

Re: Oh, no-a pimple

my wedding is Sunday and I woke up Monday morning with one! I went to the derm and he injected it. It's practically gone already so hopefully I won't get any new ones from now until Sunday!!!

Try going to a derm...Also...Jaqueline Nicole told me to try a pimple cream from Clinique...she said it's amazing. I'm going to pick up a tube tomorrow...hopefully I won't need it!

Re: Oh, no-a pimple

I had a really bad cyst like pimple about 2 weeks before my wedding. My wedding is this Saturday. I went to the Dermatologist and he injected my face. That helped a lot now I have two prescriptions for my face, one is a topical antibiotic. I still have a few but with makeup it doesn't look too bad and the medicine should keep it under control.

WINDEX! Just kidding... if you saw MY big Fat Greek Wedding you know what I am talking about. I usually use a drop of rubbing alcohol or a tab of toothpaste.Good luck!
