zita Newbie Posts: 2 From:Northeast US Registered: Jun 2003	posted 06-13-2003 08:34 PM Help, help, help! I'm so glad I found this Acne Forum!!! I just read ten zillion archived messages, and learned some great new stuff! That B5 vitamin therapy sounds really promising! You were probably expecting a message from a porcelain-skinned beauty, eh? Sorry to diss.... nope, you were not!! Anyways, in 5 days I'm going on a singles cruise, and if I was not nervous enough, my skin is, predictably, breaking out!!! I'm already shy and with my face full of zits, too, I'll be just mortified! What are your best methods for last-ditch efforts in making your skin a bit better presentable? Masques? Peels? Saunas? So I have 5 days to do some things to make it a bit better, gosh, I hope so...

But that costs a bit amount of cash (I think -I've never had it done personally). Other than that I'm not sure what else to suggest. You can't really fix acne in a few days (although B5 seems to prove otherwise -you could try that, although again I've never used it) so I say go on your cruise, have fun, and meet lots of people!

crazyabout blue Veteran Posts: 457 From:southern california Registered: Sep 2002	posted 06-15-2003 03:30 AM Dont stress!! Drink lots of fresh squeezed lemon water, and avoid, salty food.. keep your skin free of makeup and other stuff, let it breathe. cleanse your face twice a day. Oh yea, definitely use ice over your face.. cuz it will numb the pimples and bring it down to the surface. keep ur hands off ur face!! and have fun at the singles cruise.. goodluck. No matter what, u're still beautiful.. let them see you for who u are. =) IP: Logged
