Question

She had a bad case for two years and is really mad at me because I haven't had more then her. I dont know what to tell her anymore -_- its getting really stupid.

Answer 1

I hope she grows up and leaves you alone about it. Also its not your fault some people have it somedon't't you just are lucky and be gladon'tnt let it get under your skin its not worth it. I have had samproblemem with my brother and how he wajealousus of my clear skin but after awhile he got over it.

Answer 2

Haha, is she really seriously mad at you? You can't do anything about that, so ignore her and laugh about it inside your head. She's being a baby and throwing a fit.

Answer 3

Brandi:

Please dont be mad at her. She is probably insecure about her acne and unhappy with herself. Instead try to help her and you come out the bigger person.

Read this and forward it to her or just tell her in a nice way that you heard about a place where she can consult with a physician for free about her acne.

Iam a Registered Nurse and I specialize in skin care and teen acne.

In my experience of 12 years alot of  commercial store bought products DO NOT WORK!

PLEASE READ THIS WITH YOUR MOM, I have a great solution for you!

She needs to get professional advice.

Her age plays a role! How old are you? Do she always have breakouts?

However, acne can result from several factors such an increase in hormone levels. In males testosterone or androgens. In females, androgens respectively. The increase in androgen levels can stimulate the oil glands to become enlarged and thus more oil production is produced. An increased oil production can clog the pores with oil or sebum ( white thick substance) which cause the cell walls of the pores in the skin to breakdown. This process allows bacteria to form and thus breakouts develop.

Genetics may also be a cause. It is a myth that greasy food or chocolate causes breakouts.

However, using make-up sponges that are not changed or washed often can contaminate the pores with bacteria which may develop into acneic breakouts.

If you are a teenager ( which I assume that you are) your hormones play a definite role in your breakouts.

If you have severe breakouts than you might need medication. There are many factors.

The most important thing is that you need products that are AGE APPROPRIATE! Every age group has different products appropriate for them. If you are young than you need milder products as to not dry out your beautiful young skin.

The problem with commercial skin products is that they are manufactured for MASSES OF PEOPLE and are not specifically made for different peoples' needs.

Your skin type is different than mine and your age differs from mine so how is it logical that we both use the same skin product for breakouts. We need different strengths of cleansers and toners. Do you kind of understand what I am getting at?

Here is my STRONG SUGGESTION for you. I refer all my students and patients to this website:

www.aboutyourskincare.com

You need to consult with professionals and on this website YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS FOR FREE AND A SKIN EXPERT/PHYSICIAN WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. It would be a shame if you dont take advantage of this free service.

Lastly, they have incredible products for breakouts and they make them specifically for every kind of skin type. That means that if your breakouts are more severe than mine, than while we both will buy the same product yours will have stronger ingredients than mine will.

They have a mild glycolic acid cleanser that's great for your type of skin and also a DRYING LOTION ( I have 3 bottles) that you put directly on your breakouts and the next day it's gone. It's truely magic in a bottle.

A basic guideline for properly taking care of your skin is this ( now if you're a young girl you will need fewer products than this):

Night time:

1. Exfoliate the skin

2. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser

3. Mild Glycolic Acid Toner ( cleans off the excess debris and balances the PH level of the skin).

4. Drying Lotion used only on breakouts

5. Moisturizer

Morning:

1. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser

2. Moisturizing cream

The above is a standard you may need to only use one or two products. Visit: www.aboutyourskincare.com

Good Luck to you,

Michelle

Answer 4

Actually oiley skin is almost healthier for you because it moisturizes your skin, but yeah your friend is just jealous tell her to get some proactive, I'm fourteen and never had a pimple in my life, its great!  

Answer 5

if you havent had as many pimples as she had, then what the heck are you supposed to do about it?? rub grease on your face?! that would be ridiculous, right? well she must be jealous and you should tell her that you can't help it if your face is clearer than her's. there is nothing you can do about it, and she shouldn't be mad at you for something that you can't control.

Answer 6

so i've been in this situation before just reversed my best friend is fourteen and she has never had a major break out. i'm thirteen and i have major break outs at least every two or three weeks. i was little jealous at first but then i realized it's not her fault. plus she'll git over it. i mean eventually you will get a zit some time in your life. and apparently she isn't mature for her age. don't worry she'll come around. until then hang with some of your other friends or better yet new people. don't let this bother you you should be happy you don't have acne. believe me i would love clear skin.

Answer 7

she's jealous and needs to get a life. tell her to go to the dermatologist and fix the problem.
