Acne.

[Pirate Me]

Actually. It's not being dirty that causes acne. It's better to wash your face than to not wash it, but in reality, dirt doesn't cause acne. And sometimes scrubbing your face can make acne worse.

I'm sorry, it just bothers me when people say this, because last year when my acne was really bad my friend told me that it was because I was too dirty. When I showered every single day and washed my face twice a day. She was dirtier than me, she just hadn't hit puberty yet. And now she has a face full of zits, so HA. Sorry. I'm still bitter about that >=(

I'm sorry if that's what I implied. But yes, I meant to say, well pretty much what you said lol. I know its not from being dirty--but it's just from puberty.

I get zits occasionally. Not like breaking out all over my face, but some. I put this awesome medicated cover-up on, it heals the zit, and covers it up.

I'm one of those lucky people, who got acne younger. Yes, it was embarassing and people would make remarks, but I got over it. I have enough issues with myself right now, I'm lucky I got the acne earlier and now it's gone.
I would be devastated if I was one of those people who had it for.. well.. life? Like it just doesn't go away after the teen years. It stays.

Gah!
I hate that.
My mom used to tell me that I need to scrub my face alot because it was dirty.
It was not. I take a shower twice a day and scrub my face every day.
I hate it when people say that.

Try toothpaste

It hurts pretty bad, but only for a few minutes and then the zit just drys up and you can basically pick it off. To make the pain from the toothpaste hurt less, try putting hot water on a towel and breathing into it.

I did that one day. It made my skin really dry at night and when I woke up it felt dry. After I washed it off though it felt better. I'm not sure if it did anything. I think I'll try that again tonight...

Sorry, I read that as mustard

But anyways...

I usually use Clearasil. It works good. Sometimes I use Clean&Clear. I tried Proactive at my friend's house and it didn't seem to work very well.

I vary from product to product. I'm using Liquid Neutrogena ( http://www.amazon.com/Neutrogena-Fragrance-Cleansing-Formula-8-Ounce/dp/B000FKGIG0 ) and this face peel stuff ( http://www.medshopexpress.com/601269.html )

I tried both Clearasil and Clean&Clear.
It worked for a week about and then it just stopped.
I still use clean&clear every once in awhile when the other stuff is drying out my skin too much.

Exactly. You can have the cleanest face in the world and still get pimples.

I've tried the Clean and Clear in grapefruit and it smells really good.

ugh i have pretty bad acne

it's gotten better in like sixth and seventh grade before i discovered foundation *which CHANGED my life btw* it was pretty gross

but it's alright now i mean it's manageable which is good i use benzaclin i think it's a weird perscription combo but it works SOOOOO good

my acne isn't really that bad. I get the occasional monster zit, but that's about it.

My real problem is blackheads and oil. I have extremely oily skin and a lot of blackheads. Everything I try doesn't seem to work.
