Why?
She does have some of that...[/quote]

Dandruff can fall on forehead, chest and back; it clog pores, cause inflammation and lead to pimples and acne.   (Ever heard of back acne or Bacne? https://bestmensskincare.wordpress.com/2012/10/29/tips-on-how-to-get-rid-of-back-acne-aka-bacne/).

The quick fix for that facial pimples  is -
1) get rid of dandruff (my quick cure is treatment of scalp with equal parts lemon juice and coconut oil,  leave on scalp for a few hours -overnight being best - and then shampoo.  This takes care of the dandruff in one or two treatment. You can do this everyday if you want if you have a bad case of dandruff, but this is usually a one shot treatment to get rid of dandruff.

2) Use a mild salycylic acid based pimple medication for forehead and nose (including nasolabial folds), and under the lip - where the first pimples usually appear. It will exfoliate that area.

3) For inflamed pimple - any pimple medication with Benzyl Peroxide will work.

To prevent pimples -
1) Make sure you do not let water and shampoo from washing hair fall on your face, chest and back. Lean forward and rinse off.

2) Use  separate  towels for hair and body.

3) Exfoliate everyday.  Wear cotton clothes. Change pillowcases regularly.  Wash caps and hats.  Once dandruff is gone, do a weekly treatment with lemon juice and coconut oil.

Good luck.  If this does not work go and see a dermatologist.

I am absolutely against using retinol for small kids and teens, because they will never take the precaution to protect from sun, and will damage their skin further.
