Don't get too upset about it. Teenage years aren't easy to live through. You get really self-conscious about how you look and act. Unfortunately it so happens that you are bound to get the odd spot or two - some more than others.

I've had spotty skin since I was 13 (8 years ago now). True, my skin was much worse back then. However, not all is doom and gloom! Just look after your skin. Drinking lots of water really does help, and cleared my skin up no end. Obviously it didn't cure my spots, but it certainly made them less 'angry' looking. Also, don't touch your face - it makes them worse.

Be careful when using cleansing products, they can also make your skin worse. Don't get carried away when washing your face either. Exfoliate only once or twice a week, and use a non-exfoliating cleanser at other times. Moisturiser helps to even skin tone and stops flakeyness. Don't use concealer or foundation on top of spots as this can make it look worse.

All in all don't worry about it too much. Most people experience bad skin during this phase of life, so you're not the only one.

Answer 3

yeah..
i used to have acne when i was 11 till about 14.
now i jsut get a few pimples now and again, so generally, the older you get, the better you should start looking.

Yes, the acne and all that awkward stuff will pass. But you can find ways to have healthier skin and better self esteem now... Don't read the Cosmo Girl rags or hold yourself up to Paris Hilton standards. Find your own style and be happy as you can your own skin.

Answer 5

Some people don't get rid of acne very easily (my aunt still gets it and she is 50). Most do, though! I have had acne from age 11 to now (I'm 17). I have a dermintologist and I've tried every pill and cream... none of it works on me. I hope that you have better luck!

Look,i'm not sounding like a mesbian or anything but girls look pretty in their teeange years. Look it depends on how the person look at their best.You may have pimples and proactive works for anyone and you'll look better.Teenagers are the meanest people you'll ever meet and teenage girls look like little s*uts.Don't worry you just need a facial wash and try going to your dermatologist and get the pimples out and you'll look better when you grow older.((although i have no idea how you look like)).
