Hey all!
Heres the dish. I'm in our school play. I am a dancer and very used to wearing stage make-up, but I have suddenly developed some slight acne around my chin and nose. I really want most of it to clear up before opening (2 1/2 weeks away.) I use acne medication but its not going away as fast as I'd like it to. Does anyone have any suggestions?
All suggestions are much appreciated!

Muchos Gracias!!

Theres also a coverup I have that has salicylic acid in it to help heal ance while it covers it. Its called Neutrogena SkinClearing Oil-Free Concelear. Hope that helps some.

If you have a few big pimples, dab some toothpaste on them before you go to bed (don't rub it in though).

My dad told me to do that once to dry the zits up, and now I swear by it.

Mary Kay acne treatment cream is the greatest thing in the world. I don't usually get pimples becuase i almost never wear make-up, but when i do, they go away practically overnight with the stuff.
if you can't get your hands on any, just leave your skin alone for a little bit, even if it means having visible acne. there's nothing wrong with it! just don't keep putting make-up on to cover it, it only perpetuates the cycle.
