I have had acne when I was 11 or 12 years old and i was looking around my friends and i notice that none of them had any pimples which made me insecure. It started with one or two big pimples but then it all of a sudden got more and more. I was so sad that i got pimples and i felt like people were looking at me with disgust. I then move to Netherland and it got better because of the clean air since i was in Indonesia and it quite polluted. I guess my mom noticed that i got pimples and i guess it is in the gene, since my mom also had a lot of pimples when she was also my age. She started giving me this lotion for my pimples and only the pimples marks was left (you can only get it from prescription), this was when i am 13 years old. I went to India and guess what? it got bad again, but not that bad as in Indonesia, and again i was the only one with this much people on my face but i didn't care anymore and right now i am 15 years old and still using the lotion and trying to erase the marks, and i just have very small ones. I am very lucky that my pimples only come on my forehead and on my chin and not my cheeks. Some tricks and lesson i learned and still learning:
1) Face wash
When you have very oily face, there is this face wash called Himalaya (the picture on the left) and i've been using it for 4 years and it is so good, because inside the face wash there is neem and tumeric which is good for people who have oily skin. My mom told me that you have to stick with ine certain face-wash because the ingredients are different in each face wash so stick with one face-wash
2) Face-pack
This face-pack is literally GOALS, i have very oily skin and sensitive skin so i'm very scared to put anything on my face but this pack is SO GOOD. It makes your face brighter and again people who have oily skin, you have to buy this. When you put it, it feels like your face is burning but it's just purifying and when it is dry you can actually see all of your pores. 3) DO NOT use BAR SOAP
Do not ever use a bar soap, you never know who touched your bar soap and when you do your business you wash your hand with that bar soap, and yes you washed it but no it is not clean because there is still bacteria. Even if you have separate bar soap, buy face wash since bar soap has ingredients for your hand and body and face wash is for you face.4) DO NOT POP YOUR PIMPLES
You do not want pimple scars on your face because it is very difficult to erase them from your pimples so when you see in the mirror and the pimple is hard and has something yellow inside, just wait until it pop on it's own or removed on it's own. 5) WASH YOUR HANDS
Wash your hand before you want to touch your skin and especially your face because you can get pimples because of your hands. You hand and fingers has a lot of bacteria because throughout the day you will be meeting lots of people, shaking their hands or touching dirty object.
