Covering acne when wearing a backless bridesmaid dress
I was asked to be a Junior Bridesmaid in my 2nd cousins wedding in December 06. Right now I am 13. The problem is, I have terrible acne on my back and face, which is very persistent. I have had it for at least 7 months, and constantly feel very self-concious about it. We have tried everything to get rid of it. Doctors, dermatologists, beauticians, healthy eating plans, Clearasil, home-remedies and all of the little products that you pick up in the supermarket. I am terrified that my acne will still be there for the wedding, and even the fittings, which will be in the 3rd term of school.
The style of the dresses are revealing my back and, at the moment, my hair is quite short. Do you have any tips, hints, advice or even make-up that is specifically designed for covering acne?
Please help, because I feel really nervous that I will look horrible with acne on my back on the big day.

Have you spoken to your dermatologist about accutane? My son had this issue when he was a young teen and this was the only rememdy and, for him, the cure for his acne. There are some risks with the use of this drug, as with the use of any drug, so speak to your parents and physician to see if this might help you.
I do recall that my son's doctor gave him a prescription body soap so check on that as well. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".

I know what an uncomfortable issue this can be.
Your best course of action is working with your dermatologist and finding the right course of treatment for you.
If it is still not cleared up by the wedding you could look into having a make-up artist cover up any imperfections.
Just keep smiling and I am sure everything will work out fine.

I would speak to a dermie also, but for just covering and evening with a really natural look, try Bare Essentials mineral make-up. If applied right, it completely covers up imperfections and evens out skin tone! I first bought mine from QVC where you can get trial sizes, but there are some stores in malls, and they have a website.
