[Skin Concerns] OCM clogged nearly every pore on my forehead, any tips for fixing this in 3 weeks?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Background: I have very normal, maybe a little dry, skin IF I use 0 products. Cleansers tend to be to drying and every moisturizer I have ever tried has broken me out. An esthetician told me I have very "fine" skin - as in very small pores that are easily clogged because product sits on top and doesn't absorb well. During my experimentation with skin care products over the past few years, I've had a few pimples, closed comedones, blackheads, and clogged pores here and there. I thought using jojoba oil for OCM and moisturizing might help dissolve clogs without blocking up my skin. I was wrong: http://imgur.com/a/9sNGU The photos don't quite do it justice since it's mostly a texture problem and my lighting sucks.My entire forehead is clogged with sebum plugs, closed comedones, and bumps as of around 3/13. I am leaving on the "trip on a lifetime!" in 3 weeks and want to do everything I can to heal my skin before then. Any tips? Here's what I've done so far:Wash face with honey, I'm not sure how good it is at really "cleansing" but it protects my face from drying out in the shower. (Since 3/15)Use BHA - I've been patch testing this on one side of my face and I'm not entirely sure if it's helping but I haven't had any new breakouts from it. (Since ~3/21)Use clarisonic 3 times a week - the healing bumps have been a bit flakey so I thought this could help exfoliate and maybe get stuff out of my pores and help BHA penetrate deeper. (Started this week)Gently extract clogged pores and bumps - I know this isn't necessarily recommend here, but I've been trying to get some of the large sebum plugs out of my skin instead of letting them just sit there. The BHA seems to have helped loosen things up, so not much pressure is needed for extractions.Some of the bumps are more like pimples than clogged pores and contain pus, I put hydrocolloid bandages over these.I might try to introduce an AHA next week and alternate days with the BHA. Other than lots of exfoliation, I'm not sure what else to do or how to heal the more pimple like bumps and deal with the redness (I have very fair skin). Thanks for reading all of this! It's my first bad breakout and it's been a nightmare.
