 What blemishes are we talking about here? acne? birthmarks?
If its acne use an exfoliator with beads in it (i use clean & clear morning burst) twice a day then wash with black mud from the dead sea face soap which you can buy online for about £3-£4 (just google it) and drink 2 litres of water a day. You'll be astonished at how good your skin looks/feels the first time you use it and within a week it should have cleared up. I promise!
Its the only thing thats ever worked on my skin and i recommend that routine to absolutely everyone who asks. I'd never use anything else.

 He will accept you as you are. I have one or two scars on my cheeks from acne years ago but my husband still tells me i'm beautiful and thinks the little holes are cute. From experience trying to cover blemishes makes them worse and more noticeable. Use something light rather than a heavy caking concealer - maybe a green colour based bottom coat which hides redness. At the end of the day your blemishes will always appear worse to you than they really are. Good luck x

reader, anonymous, writes (30 April 2008): whilst i think he should like you regardless of what ur blemishes are, i do understand it causes u to lack confidence so me and a few of my friends who also have porcelain skin use "Maybelline New York Dream Matte Mousse foundation". its got a range of products - foundation, concealer and powder that cover amazingly well and it doesnt look like u have loads of make up on!! my bf doesnt even realise im wearing it sometimes!! also because its a mousse u dont need to put that much on so the same pot can last for ages!!!The shades i use are "ivory" for the foundation and "nude" for the powder and concealer but it may be different for you and u can buy them anywhere like boots/superdrug etchope that helps?

If you wait till you feel perfect till you see him you'll be waiting forever. No one ever feels like they look perfect.
Just work on getting a really good cleansing routine morning and night and use moisturiser too.
They don't have to be expensive. I use facial wipes with vitamin E from tesco, toner from boots, and then st Ives moisturiser.
If you don't moisturise your skin will dry out and try to make more oil as a result.
Don't worry about your spots and then he won't.
Good Luck!! xx

Why not go about this the other way round, ie let him see what you regard as your imperfections and what he'll regard as your endearing features - for that is what makes you unique among others - and then when you've applied all your make-up etc you'll knock him off his feet.
Most men do not want a woman who spends half her waking life looking in a mirror to check that all is still in perfect order.

 hi.
Try models prefer yellow powder foundation. I have a problem with blemishes and on top on a normal conceler it takes aways any shines you may have and covers red/pink blemishes and the good thing about it it, it lasts for ages. I found mine on ebay, alterntive QVC website.
