You don't have to be mean, or cruel. Its not about purposefully hurting his feelings. Its about being honest and up front about the fact that everything about him bothers you and you would prefer that he leave you alone.
The next time he tells you something like "youre ugly" respond with something like
"Thats very rude, if you can't find something nicer than that to talk about, don't talk to me at all"
Be firm, be honest, and be short. Don't go into a diatribe about how much he annoys you or all the things he does. Just simply let him know that you think he's a rude person and you don't associate with people who don't know how to not be creepy jerks who follow you around.
