Whenever a dream focuses on the face – it can be a message about ‘keeping face’ or credibility. Generally your appearance in a dream is a way of exploring self esteem or your self image. If something on your face (like a pimple or acne) diminishes your attractiveness, you may be exploring the idea that you are not expressing your true self or acknowledging your own beauty. If you are picking a pimple or trying to remove a blemish – the message can be about releasing ideas or feelings that are undermining your self image.
