[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pimple patches [/quote]

[b]But the pimple comes from poor hygiene. [/b]If you up the hygiene, then you decrease the pimples and you don't need the patches. Looking for those specific foaming face pads jf anyone remembers them and knows something similar.[/quote]

Be careful about saying this. I had bad acne and impeccable hygiene. It's so shaming for someone to say "why don't you wash your face differently?"

In my case, less products so I wasn't overly drying my skin and cutting out dairy helped somewhat, but it was primarily a genetic hormonal thing that I mostly outgrew. But I still have the physical scars and mental scars from people telling me I had bad hygiene or ate too much pizza or chocolate (I gave up both, actually, no difference).[/quote]

This, I remember people telling me to wash my face when I was a teen with pimples.  So I'd scrub my face with the most astringent stuff I could find, which made everything so much worse.  A) my acne was hormonal and genetic, my sisters had rhe same issue B) over washing made it was worse and focusing on moisturizing actually improved my kid significantly.

For the love of God stop telling kids to wash their faces when they have acne.[/quote]
