3 Days Before We're Married & I'm Breaking Out! :/

    I guess this is mostly a vent. My skin has been wonderful up until now :/ I'm blaming the break outs on stress (I guess) and (mostly) due to the fact that last week through Saturday (my bachelorette party) I was applying MUFE HD foundation whenever I'd wear make-up. I bought it for the wedding and wanted to test it out. I made sure to wash my face every night and use make up remover, but I guess the crazy washing and intense make-up coverage irritated my skin :/ Now, I have a few pimples around my jaw line, and one mondo one on my lip line! Plus ... the skin around my nose is dry and red :(

    We are *just* having a courthouse ceremony, so I'm not too concerned. Though we do have a photographer scheduled to be there. I guess I'm just wondering if anyone has a suggestion on a gentle skin soother?

    Thanks.

    Aloe is good bc it won't further clog your pores, you can also use cucumber slices (not just for eyes!) to help soothe the skin.  Cooled chamomile tea bags also work.  Generally, pimples on the lower part of the face are mostly attributed to hormonal shifts (like that time of the month or high levels of stress).  Be sure to give your nose kid glove treatment, or it'll be red and peeling for-ev-er!

     

    Don't worry too much, I'm sure you'll be beautiful!

    Best of luck & happy wedding!

    Drink lots of water. And do what the other poster suggested to help calm your skin down. I don't know how it is for you but when my skin gets irritated I go for a run, get a good sweat, then immediately jump in a hot shower while my pores are hot and open so I can give them a good clean. Slather in a good moisturizer and get lots of sleep that night. Good luck!

    Garnier has some great face creams. Just an fyi if you were looking for any new products.

    put toothepaste on the big one, i swear it dries it out every time. Also look for some makeup tutorials to try that day, if for nothing else but to disguise it in the photos! Congratulations!!

    I use the cream neospoin on my pimples at night and it works like a charm. Clears them up super duper fast!

    Also, use a really light moisterizer before applying makeup (makes dried out pimple lines less noticeable). And, NARS has great concealer and powder that provide great coverage for fair skin.

    oh, and the cream neosporin works great on red noses too! It'll feel so much better in the morning, if you slather it on before you go to bed. Just be sure to use the cream one. The clear ointment is too greasy for the face.

    did you wash your brushes? that could be the reason why your pores are getting clogged if you're applying heavy make up every day. you need to wash those brushes otherwise you're just putting bacteria back on your face.
