Facial breakouts HELP!

in February 2011 Moms
My face is breaking out like crazy and I'm filming an infomercial in about a week.  What are you doing that seems to be working.  I saw something about Honey drying out zits does it really work??

    The best thing I have used on myself and a client (i'm an esthetician) is Mario Badescu drying lotion! I works wonders :) They sell it at Nordstrom if you have one near you. Also anything with Salicylic acid will really help heal breakouts.

    I don't think you're supposed to use salicylic acid when you're pregnant.  May want to check on that one.

    Yea salicylic acid is considered a no no as orally it causes birth defects and they aren't 100% sure of its affects topically.  Hence why I was asking what others were using I'd usually just use something with salicylic acid .

    My dr is fine with me using products with topical salicylic acid so I've been using an Aveeno cleanser with it in it.  Thank goodness as my skin has been horrible since about 5 wks.  I think it may finally be starting to clear up so I'm keeping my fingers crossed...

    I used it while pregnant with DD and she turned out perfectly fine! I think you'll be okay!

    I've been doing the honey as my doctor told me no salicylic acid.  Put a layer of pure honey on your face every night after washing it.  Leave it on for 20 minutes then rinse off.  After the first week you just do it twice a week (though I've been doing every other night).  My skin was awful and it's much better (though not 100%).
