okay, dont know what to tell you about the bacne, but as far a beinga tomboy, screw what other people say. If you want to stay a tomboy, hell yeah! but if you want to kinda be a girlish girl, and a tomboy, you dont have to waear skirts and crap loads of make up to do it. I"m a tomboy, but I usually wear a tiny bit of mascara, and if I'm feeling like an over achiever, I put on different colored eye liner thingies. Anyway, if they want you to be an all out girly girl -disgusting- you dont have to be. Either meet them in the middle, or say 'if you dont like me like this, bite it.' So I hope this rambling helped you.

There are alot of things that can cause mild to severe breakouts & acne: birth control, heredity, hormonal changes, stress, diet, etc, but in following the below steps, you should begin to see an improvement in your skin. If you don't see an improvement in your skin and the breakouts/acne continue or become worse, see your dermatoligist.
First of all, it's important that you take care of your skin on a daily/weekly basis as follows...
~DAILY/WEEKLY SKINCARE~
-You will need: Cleanser, Toner (or Astringent), Cotton Balls, Moisturizer, Mask (or Masque), Extractor (found at most beauty supply stores), and either a facial steamer or hand towel for steaming.
-Morning and night (before going to bed): cleanse, tone, and moisturize. If you have clogged pores, whiteheads and blackheads, then 2-3 times a week include steaming( in this order: cleanse, tone, steam, tone, moisturize).
-Once a week: cleanse, tone, steam, exfoliate, tone, *extractions, tone, mask, tone, moisturize.
*Don't begin doing extractions until you have been following all of the other steps for at least 2 weeks, so that the steaming will have caused any tough blemishes to begin to soften.
-How to: *
Cleanse -use a small amount and lather with water, apply using circular motions all over face and neck, repeat if you have makeup on
Tone - Squeeze a small amount onto the cottonball and wipe all over face and neck
Steam - for 10-15 minutes, using one of these methods: facial steamer, hold your face 3-5 inches above steaming water, or drape a hot towel over your face (leaving your nostrils and/or mouth exposed)
Exfoliate - follow the same steps as in cleansing, but don't repeat
Extractions - place the hoop (or eye) over the blemish (or blackhead) so that the blemish is in the center of the hoop, apply slight pressure and use rocking and rolling movements all around the blemish (don't use so much pressure that you create indentions or bruises on your skin), if and when the blockage comes out of the pore, wipe away with a cottonball that has been dampened with toner
Mask - apply mask evenly on face and neck, leave for 10-15 minutes, remove by draping a hot towel over your face, then wiping away - if it begins to sting or burn intensly before 10-15 minutes has passed remove and consider using a milder mask
Moisturize - apply a small amount on face an neck and massage until it's absorbed
*In all of these steps, always avoid the eye area.
~PRODUCTS~
It's best that you stick with ONE product line formulated for your skin type.
For mild acne, use Neutrogena, here are some links to products for acne/oily skin types: http://www.neutrogena.com/productsdetail...

If your skin is also sensitive or more of a combonation (oily & dry), you may want to consider using thier products for combination skin: http://www.neutrogena.com/sossolution_3.... http://www.neutrogena.com/productsdetail... http://www.neutrogena.com/productsdetail... http://www.neutrogena.com/productsdetail...
For severe acne, try a product such as ProActive (it worked for me) and definitely see your dermatologist.
~VITAMINS/MINERALS, DIET, & EXCERCISE~
Each day, include a multivitamin for women and try to maintain a fairly healty diet and exercise routine. Also see this site about vitamins and the skin: http://healing.about.com/library/uc_acne... Don't take any of these vitamins or minerals listed if they are already an ingredient in your daily multivitamin. And it ussually means that your hair is oily and when it touches your back you break out of that you just have oily skin , which I do.
Dont listen to those people if you want to be a tom boy go ahead be your own person.Dont change caz people want you to, tell those people that they need to let you make decisions for yourself.You should'nt be self concious it will ruin your selfistem and im sure youre really beautiful!And anyway weither you are pretty or aren't , everyone has wonderful qualities and your friends weither they were giving you a comment or not should know you for the real you, the you on the inside because no matter how ugly or pretty on the outside ,on the inside there are so much better qualities.
- Giving up the right to be who you want to be is giving up any Authority of yourself
-I hope this informatin helps you! Have A Wonderful Day!!!
