My birthday's tomorrow and my skin decided to FREAK out. Especially on the chin area and my forehead is super bumpy. What can I do to take away some texture for tomorrow night when I'm wearing makeup? I just bought a Clark sonic today so I hope that works! Please help! Thank you so much.

Is it close to PMS time? that will definitely cause the chin acne, I get chin acne when it's my PMS time.
You can get a washcloth and put it under cold water or wrap ice cubes in a washcloth and rest it on there for about 10/15 minutes. it'll take away swelling. Also, I've heard a tiny bit of lemon juice might help as well.
One tip though, do NOT wash your face a bunch, it'll actually irritate the skin and make it worse. twice a day (morning when you wake up and before you go to bed) is usually good. a gentle cleanse in the morning and a better cleanse at night.
I hope you enjoy your birthday! and hope this helps.

If you have a spot treatment, a clay mask, or a charcoal mask I would definitely suggest using that. Don't put lemon juice on your skin, it's actually irritating to the skin.

Ah thank you Alexis C! I have both so tomorrow morning I will try a mask and I'm doing a spot treatment as we speak!

It's good you're separating the mask and spot treatment, isn't good to overload the face with different treatments/products all at once. also make sure to use a good moisturizer! using treatments can definitely dry out the skin.

And sorry about my bad advice with the lemon juice, I've only heard people say it worked for them, they put a tiny but in a lil bowl and water it down a lot so it isn't so strong, but yeah I haven't tried it so I wouldn't know. sorry!

I suggest a spot treatment like tea tree oil. Apply it at night, before bed, and when the skin has absorbed it, moisturize since in can be drying.

Aaaaand since you have gorgeous eyes, why don't you emphasize them tomorrow? Keep your lips nude and people won't look on the chin area. HBD!!
