First: stop washing your skin between now and the date. Your face is already clean and so at this point it's just going to irritate your skin and make it more red.
Second: Put honey on the acne. See if there is any PURE honey in your grocery store or home cabinet since the date is soon. If you have time, check a local farmer's market or on craiglists for local bee farmers.
Third: Wash the honey off with water. and put lotion on your face.
Makeup would be the easiest way to cover it up. A nice, thick concealer topped with some power would work wonders. BUT you said no makeup... I have a great tip for you, though =] You know those eye drops that get red of redness?? Well, it works great for hiding acne redness =] I use it whenever I get a zit. If you actually have acne, though, instead of just dabbing it on, get a cotton ball and soak it a little with the eye drops. Then, put it in the freezer and wait about ten minutes, so that it gets nice and cold. The eye drops stop the redness in the acne, and the cold relieves the swelling.
Hope this helped!
NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.
The secret is never to touch the spots
Tips on how to treat acne and achieve perfect clear skin in as little as 7 days?
My sister in law puts toothpaste on her pimples. They take the redness out and kind of dry the spots you. You have to use the white chalky type of toothpaste though, not the gel kind. It'll burn a little, but you're supposed to leave in on overnight. Good luck!
washing your face twice a day is great. Try and find a gentle cleanser to eliminate redness. Try browsing some neutrogena products online they have a great selection.
Eucerin
go to tanning bed,or use a small amount of makeup,maybe just some concealer would work.but don't be scrubbing untill then.good luck on your date!
Concelear and Foundation
concealer. or put toothpaste on the redness...unless its all over your face.
natural home remedy: put oatmeal mixture on your face...leave it on for ten min...that calms the skin down. hope that helps
