yeah genetics sucks. by brother and sis have clear skin on their face. my mom has AMAZING skin (she's 56 but with no wrinkles or impurities - i swear, her skin makes her look at least 15 years younger). my dad didnt have problems with acne, but he does have deep pores. my mom only had acne problems during puberty.

but i got the worst genes... i have my dad's deep pores (noticeable from head to toe, and attraction sites for new acne), oily skin, and super acne prone! when i see my sister's face....ugh it's just not fair lol

Both my brother and sister have clear skin. Right now my sister eats an okay diet while my brother eats mcdonalds, KFC, and other fast foods. But my mom said they both used to have moderate acne and that they both cleared up at 16. I hope I get clear when I'm 16.

ok first of all i had never in my entire life felt jealous of my sister who has clear skin, the main reasons are 1, because she is my sister, i love her very much and she supports me in everything, (even though i hate her sometimes because she used to talk about my acne) 2, i want the best for her, there are other things to worry about that are more important than acne. 3, it´s not her fault that she has clear skin and i don´t. you can´t do anything about it, is in your blood, is your genes, deal with it till you find a solution. 4, instead of complaining about my sister being beautiful with clear skin i rather spend my time finding solutions or making new hairstyles for me to feel pretty. 5, you can't be jealous of your own sister, whom she is your family and both have the same blood, i totally understand how you feel, but feeling jealous would only make you feel more down than ever. 6, my sister is not jealous of me, even though she knows i have a much better body than her (not to brag about it or anything like that) sometimes she tells, me  you should wear this or that cause you are not fat like me, your body is amazing. which i don´t find my body that amazing is just that...i´m skinny. 7, alot of guys tell my sister how cute i´m (which i also don´t think i´m that cute!, i´m just a girl like everybody girl out there) and when they tell her this my sister gets happy and she tells me what this guys said to me. 8, my sister always treated me with respect, never said anything mean to me well...only that i had alot of pimples in my face and that i should do something so i won´t feel down. 9, never made fun of my acne. 10, i don´t really think she is better than me...she is just a different person than i´m. we are both completely different we don´t look alike, she is a little bit taller than me, she is a mom, she has dark hair, while i have light brown, she is not so white like me, her skin is a little bit like if she was tanned, my skin is very white, but not pale.

alot of people told me that i look much cute than her which i don´t believe in this...but i do have to say (and i´m not bragging about it i´m a very humble girl) that when we are both together and we are in the mall or in a public place, i get more attention than her, people stare at me more than her. but i still don´t care. she is my sister and i know that i might not have her skin but i´m also a girl who has a wonderful personality, loves to make friends (i never met a stranger) i´m very cheerful. i might wish to have her skin, but i know for a fact that she wished she had something that i have. is just the way it is, i´m not saying that you are a cruel sister for feeling jealous of her...but believe me...skin is not everything and i know that you have better qualities than her. believe in yourself girl, otherwise no one is going to believe in you.

SOOOO glad I'm not alone on this. Both of my younger sisters have perfect skin and are in their teenage years! Here I am at 24 and suddenly developing SEVERE acne, and then my 19 year sister is a freaking model (literally), she never has to wear makeup and my 13 year old sister who is going through puberty barely has any pimples or anything! Gah, I feel like I look like the ugly step sister or something. So unfair!

Why don't you all try to use this as a learning experience. They are keeping their skin healthy differently than you all are. See if what works for them will work for you, even if that means no doing anything to your face.

Actually, I think it's more to do with genetics, really. My sisters just don't get acne. It's got nothing to do with what they're doing or not doing to their skin. If I do nothing, I get acne. If I treat it, I get acne.

genetics r fucking bitch is undeniable fact, well i dont have brothers n sisters but i have few cousins.. n they soo fat (eat puure junk all the time!) and anoying (hate them! ugh) n they dont give a damn about no diets, no nothing ever and guess what? flawless skin there just is no justice in this world i wish i could just pwn them all if only not this bitch of a face

 

try not to hate yo sis for that flawless skin tho, its not her fault she has it awasome n u not afterall, just dont let her get cocky bcz of it either ykno

same exact here friend, no siblings(which I kind of regret) but my close cousin hs flawless skin, no pores no spots nothing, she is overweight yes she eats terrible diet and literally could rub chicken fat on her face, and be fine! I cant help the way my skin is and maybe she cant help being overweight...its the same evil foods affecting us only in totally different ways.

No its not fair but whoever says life is fair is a big liar lol.

Well in my family I am the only one who has acne too. It sucks. My family is really unsupportive. They never support me emotionally when I am down, they always say that acne is not a big deal to worry about it.But at the same time they would say something mean about my skin. Why do pple always ignore other ppe's problem and feelings? Especially when they don't feel it on their own skin, they just don't give a damn. Sad!!!

I think it's hard for people to empathize sometimes when they've never been through it. My family tries to be sympathetic towards me but because they've never been in my situation, they're not sure how to act or help me to feel better. My dad hugs me when I cry about it, and makes suggestions and says nice things, but really, it's hard to know how to deal with people when they're emotional over something you really don't know how to fix. There's only so much you can say, you know? Don't take it to heart.

People who say mean things about your skin (especially family members) are often doing it because they don't realize how offensive it is. They don't see it as a big deal, thus they think they can make a comment on it and have you be okay with that. Just tell them straight out that it hurts, and that you don't want them talking about it anymore. Be direct. Get mad if you have to.

I have one sister and she has bad skin too like me, she's 3 years older than me. She got skin bad real bad from a early age of 13-14 and still has it at 25. I was a little happyflowers to her when I was younger, was so mean to her about her skin when I had flawless skin she always said and I quote "you'll get acne one day and know how it feels". I didn't have a single spot till I was 17 then it just went overboard, 5 years later I still have acne and a lot of scaring, it's not that bad compare to others but it still bothers me enough to have put my life pretty much on hold for 4 years. I guess it's karma for what I used to be like to my sister, I was so horrible to her about it I feel so bad and now I know exactly how she felt all those times I was a happyflowers to her. Luckily as a girl she can where makeup whereas there's nothing for a guy to hind behind.

It is so strange. Everyone in my family has a clear skin (my sister, parents, uncles, grandparent, etc.) and I have mild acne...they sometimes even ask me what the **** I'm doing to my skin so I get acne.

Strange thing is that I'm probably healthier than most of my clear family members: I'm doing exercises (two hours a week), don't snack (chocolates, sugar, etc.), walking with my dog, trying to eat as much vegetables, using vitamines.

I really don't know why I'm getting acne while my family members don't .

Try having a triplet brother and being the one with the crappy skin. My life sucks.

my sister has never had 1 pimple in her entire life and i havent had clear skin since i was in 5th grade. makes me feel great 🙁

I don't know if "jealous" is the right word... I love my sister and she's always really inspired me for being mentally strong. She's never had to deal with acne on her face but she's had to deal with a lot of other shit in her life and she's alwayslooked out for me too... and I would never wish to switch places with her (acne wise)! She (sister) had back acne for a while, but her face hasalways been clear and she's alwayshad nice skin too, really smooth and white like ivory...

But yeah, I have sometimes wondered why she has such clear skin while mine is so horrible... I have a theory... I think maybe genetically I am more similar to my dad's side while my sister is more similar to my mum's. Since childhood we'd always been told that I looked more like dad and she looked more like mum. My mum had super nice skin (she's passed away from cancer but... she never had skin problems - when I asked her, she claimed never to have had any acne and I believe her!). Her skin wasalways just perfect, blemish free. I'd thought that my dad always had clear skin too because I never knew him to have skin problems. But, when my older brother (and later, me too) started getting acne, dad mentioned that he once suffered from acne as well, when he was younger (obviously before we were born, so we wouldn't have known if he hadn't told us). And he admitted it was pretty severe, but that it cleared up eventually.

My brother's acne has sort of cleared up but mine has persisted... I'm 37 now and still dealing with (I'm sorry to those of you who are hoping it will clear with age... it does in some cases but in others, like mine, it persists into your 30s and I've heard it can persist into your 70s and twilight yearseven.....)it although I get the cystic inflammatoryon the lower half of my face now, whereas I used to get it more on my forehead and temples...

It's a mystery.............
