But anyway, if you are a girl, around the time that you get your period you will break out a lot more. This always happens to me, and there isn't really too much you can do about it besides what I explain later in the response.
But no matter if you are a girl or a boy, it could be just changes in hormones. When you are a teen, you have more oil on your face. Even though you may wash your face a lot, your skin is still oily. This gets trapped in your pores and causes acne. There are some medicines out there to help stop this. If it is really bothering you and over-the-counter things don't work, your doctor can probably get you a prescription.
Make sure you wash your face everyday, but be careful of scrubbing hard. Not only can it irritate your skin, but it actually makes acne worse by drying out the skin and causing it to produce more oil.
Try eating foods rich in Vitamins E and A as these promote health and elasticity of the skin.
Although some people say that junk food causes acne, the only thing related to that is eating greasy foods and then touching you face. It has nothing to do with the actual eating.
jazziepink09 answered Tuesday May 22 2007, 12:10 pm: Your diet may be making you break out. Cut out soda that is the main thing that will break you out. And greasy food like double cheeseburgers and stuff. Cut down on that stuff and you acne should get better. [ jazziepink09's advice column | Ask jazziepink09 A Question ]

kayybabyx3 answered Monday May 21 2007, 7:37 pm: well theres a few things that can cause acne.
-you could be undergoing alot of stress. and that builds up and causes more acne.
-your hormones could be kicking in and they produce more oil in your skin which causes more acne.
-if you wear makeup[[idk if ur a boy or girl srri] that could be causing your acne too.
-its NOT what you eat.there are myths that oily foods and chocolate can cause acne but thats not true.
-you may be touching your face too much. to prevent that,try drawing X's or writing the word "NO!" on your hands. i know how silly that sounds. but thats wat used to cause my acne, i always touched my face. then i tried the X's and it worked.
