My formal is image month and a half. I want to make sure my skin is clear by then. I'm in the middle of a breakout and want my face as clear as possible by then. Make up covers the colour but doesn't hide the obvious bumps ): What are some treatments you swear by?? That are cheap or even better home made -_-

Benzol Peroxide, I generally use my 10% Benzol Peroxide cream over moisturiser for spot treatment (A little dab on problem areas.) It also comes in a wash. It's not hard to get at chemists :)

Oxy works wonders. It's a cream for pimples.

1. To prevent pimples make sure you EXFOLIATE. I use a clairsonic, but that's rather pricy so I'd say go to your local shop and pick up any sort of exfoliating powered brush. Look for a coupon in the local papers or online before heading to the shop to save yourself a few dollars. Secondly, buy a cleanser with some grit to it. Again exfoliation is key to clear skin. You have to remove the dead skin so dirt and bacteria don't get trapped which causes break outs. There are some great home made cleansers that can help. Look them up, a lot tend to contain baking soda or aspirin (reduces redness and swelling) or honey (naturally anti-bacterial).
A lot of people swear by using toner -- I however do not. It causes my skin to produce more oil which causes more breakouts.
The day of: have a green toned concealer. I really love NYX's. What you need to do is moisturise and prime your face. Apply the concealer. Let it dry, apply a bit of powder on top and THEN apply your foundation on top of it. The green blocks out the red.
For the bumps you mentioned I always use this trick -- ten or 20 minutes before applying my makeup I will take an Advil liquid-gel and poke a hole in it with a clean pin, take some of the liquid and apply it right on the acne. It will start to reduce it. The ingredients in the product cause a reduction of inflammation which is exactly what acne is!
I hope this helped!

I swear by Acne Free kits. I used the gentle one but you can choose regular or severe. I literally can't describe with word how much I love this stuff. I only used the cleanser and toner tho. the other cream is too harsh for my skin. I recommend it. it took away the bumbs in like a week.

Tea tree oil, though not instant, is the best thing for your skin. :) Dab it on if you see/feel a pimple forming and it will heal it.

Wow thank you everyone. I definitely have a lot of options and I'm glad I have given myself plenty of time (: I think I will try the exfoliating one as I haven't seen any of these acne kits in NZ (:

A honey face mask works amazingly! Just pop on some raw honey onto your face and leave for about 15 minutes+, and then wash off with warm water. It also gets rid of the shine off your face, if you have one, and leaves a lovely even looking complexion! :)
