how to heal my skin quick? 10 pts best answer?
ok so i have a date next week and i have a couple small scabs on my face that are almost healed (basically just really dry flaky red patches) and i want to clear it up as quickly as possible so my skin doesnt look disgusting when i put on my makeup. do i exfoliate? or just use vitamin E?
i also have small white heads on my cheeks and chin which are kind of under the skin..so they are harder to see but i want them gone.

The best thing you can do is exfoliate. This removes and dead skin cells or oils that may clog the pores. Also if they are dry and flaky, AFTER exfoliating (because this may have ingredients that dry out the skin) hydrate using a moisturizer ON THAT SPOT[s], not the whole face because this can cause clogged pores too.
Hope this helped.

Whatever you do, DON’T pick at them. Put lotion on them daily and yes, exfoliate. But don’t be harsh with the scabs or else you might make it worse and make your skin bleed. Try putting aloe on it, it’ll help speed up the process.
For the whiteheads, DO NOT squeeze. You’ll make them bleed and make your skin red and splotchy and worse. If I were you, since whiteheads are common and form easily, I would go to the drugstore and buy a comedo extractor. It sounds painful, and it is a teeny bit, but trust me, that stuff is MIRACLE in getting rid of blackheads and whiteheads after one use.
It looks like this http://www.visagesupplyco.ca/catalog/images/Comedo%20Extractor.jpg and can be found in the makeup section usually. If you don’t know where it is, ask a store clerk. But I PROMISE you it works. Swear on my hair. Go look it up on the internet to reassure yourself if you don’t believe me completely.
Good luck!!

I get this problem too and my mom’s always getting on to me about picking at them (gross but it’s a habit)…
Put antibiotic on the scabs at night
Mainly keep your hands AWAY from you face from now on until your date
Wash with a gentle cleanser at night but nothing too harsh
Eat healthy (a lot of people break out from eating junk food)
hope this helps and good luck on your date ;)

aloe vera is the best thing ever to use.
