Don't worry 90 per cent of young people get pimples at some point and they are unfortunately part of growing up. They are due to hormonal influences. The important thing to remember is that they will go so be patient. Pimples are a result of hormonal changes during puberty.
Here are some methods you could use to try and prevent spots:
MEDICATED FACE WASHES
These are better than ordinary soap for cleansing your skin as they remove pimple-causing bacteria more effectively and avoid over drying. Most are developed for the more delicate skin on your face.
MEDICATED LOTIONS
These serve as a good substitute for regular lotions since they also contain anti-bacterial ingredients. They unclog pores by removing the daily build-up of grease and dirt, in some cases twice as effectively as ordinary cleansers.
If you have moderate or severe acne you should make an appointment at your doctor’s for treatment.
