Ok, well now im like 13, right? well my mother has greasy skin and my dad has dry skin. I cleanse my face with apricot scrub every morning to refresh myself in a hotshower, or if i took a shower that night, i'd apricot scrub my face in the morning with cold sink water (St.Ives) well, i just get these little sweat bumps and recently i have been getting red dots (no whiteheads) on my nose, i understand this because people have grease there easily through-out the day. My friend is getting acne n pimples and she said she is glad that she is getting it now instead of when i grow up ill have a lot. i take good care of my skin, and i eat ..pretty healthy, i get my fruit n veges, protein, vitamins and potassium, i drink water and this really tasty drink called vitamin water..every other night i have like idk a cookie or some of a candy bar and i excercise regularly so well that makes the sweat come but i remember to wash off...my friend maybe she is just tugging me cause she has poofy hair and freckles and bright bright skin and glasses n braces, my mom said she is insecure at her age and shoots it out at other people. so .. do u think ill get acne soon? later? or am i not going to get much at all through out my puberty?
BitsandPieces answered Tuesday January 16 2007, 12:13 pm: Good advice already, but I will add that exfoilation should be done only a couple times a week at the most, and doing so leaves skin more vulnerable to sun damage, so wear a sunscreen lotion for the face and a separate sunscreen for your body everyday. Acne can be hormonal and very little one can change about that. Keep your skin clean, but don't overdry with harsh cleanser/toner/masks that will only irritate skin and become more prone to breakouts. Lots of water is great as well as fruit/vegies/fish.

khadiya answered Tuesday January 16 2007, 4:37 am: OK see here is the thing... You can get acne when your an adult too. No one told you that huh? Its get that you are taking care of your skin, but if you are gonna get it your gonna get it. But since you are taking care of you skin you wont get it as bad. O and that apricot scrub, try not to use a lot because it can dry your face out and you dont wont your face dry because then it wont be as soft. [ khadiya's advice column | Ask khadiya A Question ]
