I just made a green smoothie with 5 bananas and 5 persimmons. That's gotta be around 130g of sugar. But there was a handful of chard in there too with celery. Do you think is too much sugar in the body at once? Will the greens slow down the sugars?

I feel fine but I just recently upped my fruit intake in these smoothies and noticed a few whiteheads on my face. I hope it's not because of the increased sugar.

I wouldn't be so concerned about just this much sugar at once. If you didn't then go and eat more sugary foods, and, if you didn't feel weird then what's the worry?

I'm pretty sure the greens did slow down the uptake of the sugar into your bloodstream.

As for the whiteheads. It could be that you had too much sugar in your body, or too much of some thing or another and that the face was a convenient place to remove it.
Could there be some other reason? Do you notice whiteheads each time you have a similar amount of sugar? Was it a one-time deal? Could it be that there had been something in there just scratching to get out and that for some reason after the smoothie circumstances were right?

For me that much fruit is fine - love it
