I usually have pretty clear skin with some occasional acne, but yesterday I broke out pretty bad. I really have no idea what caused it. Do you know anyway I can get rid of it quickly?

Believe it or not if your a female you can cover it, but if your a guy bust them at night and wash your face with Neutrogena Acne wash because it begins to clear them. Hell use the acne was on a regular basis because it does help control them. And if you play sports thats probably where you got it from.

- Cleansing Cloths can be used instead of cleanser. Wash your fash before bed and in the morning with these.
- Oil Blotting Cloths are 99 cents, and they work to remove oil from problem areas. These are great for purses.
- If parts of your skin are dry, I recommend Morning Glow Moisturizer. It also has sunscreen.
- Their new on-the-spot acne treatment has been proven to work 100% of the time.
- Their Clear Powder actually has a slight bluish tint, but works best on Caucasian skin to cover blemishes and remove oil.
- Finally, C&C's concealer comes in several different shades. It has acne medication, but does not dry out your skin. It is also very compact, and works under eyes, too.
Some other tips:
- Does your mom buy department store makeup (i.e. Clinique) a lot? Ask her for the miniature toner bottles that usually come with free gifts. Apply this after cleaning (and moisturizing, if you need to) in the morning and at night. It evens out your skin and removes oil.
- If you want to splurge, there is a great product by Clinique that works very well. It is called Deep Cleaning (it may say Cleansing, my bottle's a little worn out :( ) Emergency Mask. Do not follow the instructions, though! Instead, apply this white mask to your pimples and let it dry for around 5 minutes, right before bed. THen go to bed with it on. By the next morning it will has flaked off a lot and your acne will be shrunken, if not totally gone. Rinse it off and continue your morning routine.
- The Body Shop sells a great product to keep in your purse. Their Tea Tree Oil Stick looks a lot like a lip gloss, and even has a wand! Apply this clear liquid to a pimple and it will be much less noticeable soon. You can reapply it in public, because it's clear, and it smells great! Some other good tea tree oil products they sell are foundation and powder (to cover up and heal) and tea tree oil blotters. THey also have some nice cleanser, toner, etc.
