I have to hide acne - my sweet 16 is tomorrow!

I have to hide acne on my back & my hair doesn't cover it!

HELP ME PLEASE.

wear something that comes up to your neck. if you don't want that or you have already chose an outfit that doesn't cover it than cover it with a liquid foundation if you have one. if you don't than a cream concealer would be second best. I say this because powders will easily rub off your back skin, especially if you sit, but you could use that as a last resource.

but its not something to be truly embarrassed about. back acne is common, actually any body acne is common just as face acne.

in the future some things you can do to get rid of it/prevent it are; using a body acne wash in your showers and using a loofa and circular motions to wash it which will remove dead skin cells. I use Neutrogena's body clear body wash and it works pretty well. also when you wash your hair if you keep the conditioner in I would clip up your hair so it doesn't drip onto your back which causes acne. also wash the infected area last before you get out of the shower and rinse well. if you workout I would shower off the sweat immediately. I wish you luck.

Right covering back acne! the best way to do it is first conceal it with either concealer or foundation - no specific type just your day to day foundation! and then cover with instant fake tan :) you can never hide the bumps unless under clothes obviously but can definitely dis-attract attention to it :)

You could try tea tree oil or talcum powder. But that won't solve the problem for tomorrow. You could maybe try some concealer if you are wearing something low cut at the back, though I have never tried it.

Unfortunately there's not much you can do in a few hours to get rid of it. So your only option is to wear clothing that covers it.

use make up! foundation or concealer! or get extensions

Why not wear clothes that cover it?
