[Acne] Help! I had a horrible picking episode last night and I have a date Saturday. What do I do?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Using a throwaway, but I'm 23F.For a brief backstory, my skin has been doing pretty well lately (I've struggled with moderate acne, which I made much worse by picking... this ultimately left me with some dark marks on my face). The "good roll" my skin's been on has made me feel happier and more confident.That is, until I destroyed it tonight. I don't know what came over me--it seems like I have an episode when I have something important/exciting coming up... like this date on Saturday. I obsessed over one MINUSCULE pimple, and then I just started popping every stupid pore (thanks to a backlit magnifying mirror). My face was bumpy, raw, and red afterwards, and I tried to hold back tears. I slathered on some moisturizer and climbed into bed, hiding in the dark. Now I'm turning to you guys in hopes of some advice (about post-picking, I've already heard a lot of advice to help prevent/stop picking... it usually helps, but sometimes I lose control.... I'm trying to get better).Do I cancel the date? He's met me once before, and my skin was looking good! I don't want to horrify him with this mess of a face (that is, unless a miracle happens before then). I want to cry when I think about what I've done and I don't even want to leave the house today. I'm so mad at myself for doing this to myself... even though I knew what would happen I couldn't stop.So... any advice for skin miracles? Mostly for reducing redness after picking. I can attach a picture if it helps! Thanks guys :)
