Deal With Having Acne

Acne is something that happens to almost everyone during the adolescent and teenage years. There's nothing to be embarrassed about, either. This how-to will teach you how to deal with acne, and how to not let it take control of your personal life.

Steps

 * 1) Know what acne really is. Acne vulgaris, commonly known as Acne, is a skin disease commonly found in growing teens and kids. It is completely normal, so don't feel ashamed that dozens of pimples and blackheads are appearing on you.
 * 2)  Wash your face twice a day. Recent studies found that washing your face once or twice a day can help reduce the appearance of acne on your face, and neck.
 * 3) Have a healthy diet. Another way to deal with acne is to keep eating healthy. Keep on eating those delicious fruits and vegetables, which have minerals, that provide healthier skin, and just like washing your face, eating healthy reduces acne.
 * 4) Talk to your friends. If your friends are the same age as you, most likely they have acne too. Talk to them about how you feel about your acne, and once you finally realize that pretty much everyone gets pimples and blackheads, you will feel better about your skin.
 * 5) Talk with your doctor. Sometimes mild types of Acne can actually be a medical condition, that can be treated with over-the-counter medicines or medicines that can be supplied by your personal doctor.
 * 6)  Cover up, if need be. Have a big day coming up? If you are a girl, try wearing cover-up makeup, or if you can afford it, buy a DermaStyle Acne pen, which will destroy those pesky pimples. Popping pimples usually has bad results, like scarring, which looks worst than the actual acne.

Tips

 * Try talk to a close friend, or family member about your acne, and express your feelings! You'll feel better about your skin afterward.

Warnings

 * Never scratch your acne. This makes it looks gross, and results into total scarring.
 * Popping is not a good solution. Acne most of the time goes away by itself, so there's no need for popping, especially because you will have a scarred face afterward.

Things You'll Need

 * Good self-esteem
 * Friends
 * A doctor
 * Healthy, nutritious diet
 * (Optional) Acne cream/pen
