So sometimes I have sporradic breakouts, but never like this! Big pimples breaking out all over my cheeks and forehead. I need some SERIOUS skincare secrets girls, ASAP!

Try spot treatments, like diluted tea tree oil, to get the pimples to go down, and then change up your skincare routine. Have you been doing anything different lately? Eating different foods, washing your face with different cleansers or not washing your face?

I haven't had as much time to take care of my skin since I'm in my school's marching band and it takes up so much time, but I try to do my best with regular cleansing and such. As far as diet, like I said I don't have a lot of time, so it's basically whatever I can cram down between practices.

Oh that's so cool though! Okay honestly just make sure that you wash your face and get ALL of your makeup off at night. Use a gentle cleanser (I like Biore's blemish fighting ice cleanser) and if you have the funds you should buy a face brush. Much more effective than your fingers, in my opinion. Follow that with an oil-free moisturizer so that your skin doesn't get dry and then produce more oil to compensate. And definitely try Burt's Bees Maximum Strength Spot Treatment. It's worked great for me in the past, and (bonus) it's all natural. But with spot treatments I'm not an expert. Good luck though :)

I used to have that problem. (Also in band)
What I would so what make sure to wash my face. How I did this was use warm water to open up my pores and use a cleansing brush to clean out the pores. Then use cool water to close the pores. My acne really started disappearing. Also if you touch your face a lot it helps cause acne. So not touching your face at all helps too. (I had to work on not touching my face)

Thanks Shannon! That's cool that you're in band. Which band? And what instrument? :-)

I'm not in band anymore. I quit a week ago, but I play tenor sax and the band I was in was the croswell-Lexington high school marching band. Last year was awesome. The. Everything went downhill and the people became frustrating to work with.
I'm in a kinda rock band though. I play guitar and sing. We don't have a name yet.
What band are you in and what instrument do you play too?

I'm in the Dunedin High School Band. I'm in the percussion section (Section Leader actually!) and I play marimba in the pit. :-)

That's awesome :)
I was section leader but no one in the band I was in respects anyone.
I hope everything works out for you with band and the acne. Good luck ^_^
