Intro

Go Super to Listen Go Super!

Going to school with a big pimple on your face is so embarrassing! Some kids try covering acne with make-up or bandages. Others ignore it and try acting oblivious. Most teenagers have acne because puberty makes it difficult to avoid.

Medications can clear up pimples, and toothpaste is a popular home remedy. The truth is that we just have to wait. Our bodies decide when we stop getting acne.

Unless you were really lucky growing up, you probably got acne as a teenager. How did acne affect you? Were you embarrassed by it, or were you OK with it? Did you ever try an unusual home remedy?

I clearly remember that I didn’t get much acne as a teenager.Because I did pay much attention on what I ate.I hardly ate spicy things even though I like it a lot.Heavy pressure was another way to cause acne.I did excerise to enhance metabolism and sweat could bring bad substance out of body.That was my method to stop annoying by acne.

I didn’t have acne during puberty but in college. I applied some acne gel on it and slowly the acne cleared up.

Who do you think has more chances for a date – a guy with acney or a guy without acney. To me it doesn’t matter. It’s all about charisma, chemistry.. Btw, my cat used to have acne too. Very annoying thing. Now, knock on the wood, grew over this problem. Or maybe he found his date and got rid of that problem very soon :)

When i was a teenager i had acne but it wasn’t too much. Of course if i had  pimples i was embarrassed especially when i saw girls. I didn’t use home remedy, i used some acne ointment to make it less or avoid it. After 18 years haven’t got any acne. 


I also know that you can got acne if you have some problems with your digestion. If some meds won’t help you need to find the reason of your pimple

it happens with everyone while going thorugh puberty. i used to have it but not now luckily. 


i guess the best remedy is to wash your face as many times as you can and try to avoid touching them. Never go hard on them.

I have got the acne since I was a teenager …


it wasnt that much bad but it affects me so bad because at that time I used to have bright skin so it could be seen from everywhere!!! So I had lost my self-confident


so for curing I used to drink some Vent hood which was really good …


if you use baked onion it can help too … just wash one onion and put it in a few water and let it baked then put it on your skin


these days I dont have such those problems … thanks god


Good luck

I’ve got the acne problem all the time. I think those annoying acnes may be triggered by too much greasy and spicy food and too much computer time, also, I never used make-up remover to take off my make up on face, I only use cleaning cream. I need to get rid of all those bad habits as soon as quickly and regain my perfect skin since the spring festival is in the corner, I want to be perfect in all my falimies’ and friends’ eyes.

Well, I never had problems with acnes, doesn’t matter for me. Well, I don’t like to eat oily and sugary foods, so I think that is for it that I almost don’t had more pimples. But I’m still a teenager . Maybe I’ll have a adult acne.

I don’t know about no one home remedy for acne, because I don’t care for it. But I heard about pass aloe vera on face.

I personally have suffered a lot with this problem for more than ten years, at first I was totally oblivious, i didn’t pay any attention to it and then the situation has worsened and pimples have left black marks on my face ; when I was invited to a friend I feel embarrassed by it ,I tried some home remedy like Ghee and honey to get rid of without any result, i finally realize that i have to go to the specialist .

I haven´t had to go through  it in my entire life .I  acknowledge that  for many  adolescents  must be a real problem   that they have to deal with on a daily basis. I don´t know if  there is  a cure  for pimples  other than  waiting  that the time and the  prescription from an expert   dermatologist  start  to heal  the  skin.  Pimples  are a real downer  for the teenager that have to  live with them.

fortunatly I didnt have too many problems with  the acnes during my puberty.


as I know , this very case is literally affected by our enviornment and lifestyle.


what we eat and what we do has a very considrable influence on our appearance.


doing regular daily excercise such as walking is so helpful to decrease the pimple because of some scientific reasons…


consuming fresh vegetables and fruits is the best home remedy in my opinion.
