Hey, I am in a really urgent situation and I don't know what to do.
2 of my friends really want to come over to my house for new years, and also my boyfriend.
But my face is REALLY not in good shape right now, the acne is more severe than it's been in months. I REALLY don't know if I can let my friends see my face without makeup??? (I'm okay with my boyfriend though). My face is REALLY bad. I was super worried about it last night and I woke up to it even worse this morning.
My 2 friends, who are dating, are still in high school and for complicated reasons including homophobic parents... basically being at my house is the only way for them to spend the new years together. I really don't want to take that away from them....
I feel bad because I was with them yesterday and invited them over forgetting about my skin.... ugh.... I don't want to tell them now that they can't. I don't know what to do. I really want to have this sleepover party thing but my skin is HORRIBLE i am SO SELF CONSCIOUS about it I've been crying so stressed about what to do for hours. The obvious answer is invite them anyways and they should be understanding, but I am so so so severely embarrassed about my skin it's stupid.
I can't do the whole remove makeup after they sleep / wake up before them because it's new years... we'll be staying up late???? And idk.. maybe sleep in my makeup but they are both really good at makeup too I'm afraid they'll call me out on it..
Please help!!!! I'm freaking out. this is. today
Why not actually make a point of it and talk to them about your worries and how you feel? I'm sure they'll be supportive if they're real friends. Remember, you are judging yourself far, far more harshly than other people will.
You can hide it or confront it, it might be empowering for you to realise that you don't have to hide away and how great your friends actually are.
If you don't care in front of your bf you shouldn't care in front of your friends. I always tell my friends when I'm feeling insecure anyways. That's why they're my friends! I'll just say "damn the breakout on my face right now is so ridiculous I hate it" and 10000% of the time they reply with "Seriously? It's not even bad...." I wouldn't worry about it at all. If you really are self-conscious just wear your makeup and wash it off right before you sleep. At least you don't have to feel down all night. You should feel confident and have a good time! 
Then in the morning if they see your problem, whatever. At least you had a fun night lol. I'm sure your friends won't judge you on a problem out of your control
