Beauty 911, Please Help!

Atlantia

Hey there YLFers! All my bags are packed, and thanks to Angie and the forums, I have a great capsule for looking stylish on my vacation in London.

BUT...I have sprouted 2 huge spots! I normally have really good skin, and have no idea what to do. I don't have any kind of acne cream or anything. I am meeting my bf's parents for the first time when we land in London in about 24 hours. What can I do between now and leaving for the airport in 6 hours?

If there's nothing that can be done.....please just say nice things about how no one will really notice that I seem to have aliens living on my face.

What Angie said. And don't fret too much about it - honestly nobody will notice it if you feel confident and at ease.
Enjoy your vacation and good luck with meeting your BF's parents (I was terrified when I went to meet my future in laws for the first time :-))

Darn- those spots appear when we least want them!
1. Most important- DON'T pick at it!
2. Some people swear by Clean & Clear acne spot treatment.
3. I love my MAC studio finish concealer for covering all sorts of issues.
4. Nobody notices these things nearly as much as we do. Try to forget about it and have a great trip!

I use caladryl - made for rashes/blisters like poisen oak but works on blemishes. It dries, it soothes and it is pink and matches my skin pretty well.

I agree with everyone else not to worry too much, everyone gets blemishes, it's part of living.

Thank you all! I dabbed some toothpaste on my spots and repacked my suitcases to keep my mind off things.
Maybe this will finally be the time to start posting some WIW posts! I'm terribly shy, but I've been so inspired to step up my style game from this forum.

Toothpaste works, but only if it's the white kind (not the gel). And don't use whitening toothpaste as it has hydrogen peroxide in it and might irritate your skin further.

Visine reduces swelling and redness too, if you have it! Also try cold compresses or an ice pack. And mostly, don't worry about it. It's true that no one will notice it but you.

Have a wonderful time! I am sure that people won't notice it all. All they will see is a smartly dressed lady who is having a blast!

Another fan of toothpaste if the spots need drying up. just gently wipe enough off that it doesn't show and apply a little concealer or foundation before the plane lands. And drink lots of water.
Your bf's parents will be much more interested in your personality and your character than your skin, so relax and enjoy the trip.
