or when your boyfriend is a photographer...

The awkward moment when you want to buy a gentle cleanser (on your good skin day!) but they offer you a completely different brand cleanser for acne.

when a perfect-skin friend of yours complained she had a single pimple on her forehead while you have them all over your face.

When your afraid to have the wind blow on your face because It will dry it out like mad....

When the guy you have a crush on at work says hello to you and you say the fastest "hello" in the history of man, then quickly turn around and ignore him so he won't have to look at your horrible breakout (yes I did this and want to kill myself to this day)

That awkward moment when you're sitting at Safeway on your laptop and you look across and the girl across you looks straight up at you at the same exact time and your both just checking eachother out and guess what we both suffer from acne and you can tell that theres that connection between the both of us. Thank you acne for hooking me up with this hot ass chick with acne too!

When your little brother gets his first zit and starts crying "i dont want to look like him" talking about me.....

Lol when your skin is peeling like a snake and you have school in less than a hour....

That awkward moment when you try to put makeup on over a recently popped pimple.

Another one...

That awkward moment when you feel like you're the only black girl in the world without flawless skin.

obviously that gene skipped my family.

That awkward moment when you read a thread about awkward moments regarding acne and you can relate to nearly every single one -_-

...when your little cousin decides to draw you and at the end, begins drawing the acne on your cheeks.

when (as a guy) your amount of skincare products and routine is much more copious/complex than the prettiest of girls

...my sister tells me that my brother-in-law asked her "What happened to your sister's face?"

...when your little cousin decides to draw you and at the end, begins drawing the acne on your cheeks.

 

Damn, my friend made a drawing of me and added acne too, it completely devestated me

.. when you're at the pharmacy shopping for treatment and the staff is trying to be a hero by asking; you do wash your face with soap right?

I like this one, it's like "no, it had never occured to me in my years of having acne to wash my face". Some people I tell ya...

that awkward moment when you had a major breakout and your hairstylist ask you what happen to your face, having no idea what to say in the next 10mins during the haircut except for i dont know.

AHAHA thinking about this makes me laugh

The awkward moment when you're wearing a red t-shirt and someone tells you it matches with your acne. Needless to say I stopped wearing red after that.

ahha that awkward moment when your face is sorta tan because of BP and your buddy ask you if you went tanning recently

When you wear a jacket with pockets for the sole purpose of hiding concealer and powder in them so you can pretend to need the bathroom during class and go apply them.

Also, when you go in the school bathroom and someone's already at the mirror so you hide in a stall until they leave so you can repowder your face in peace...Lol

...when someone touches you face.

...when it's cold outside and you wear a hoody/scarf because your face is so sensitive.

...when you're stuck at some place with teary eyes with bp/moisturizer gunk in your eyes.

...when you avoid red/orange colored shirts

...when you decide not to shave today because it makes your acne crazy apparent

...when your friends don't have a CLUE how much time you spend on facial routines

...when it's that time of year to just stay the hell inside

...when you discover you even have pimples on your earlobes (are you effing kidding me!? )

That's why avoid red shirts like a plague.

I used to love red but I haven't worn it since 2003. 2 different boys made the same evil joke so I just ditched that color to avoid more jokes like that. And it worked!

People can be so ignorant.....Yeah I don't really like red or very bright colors anyways but I know red can emphasize acne:S

MY ANSWER:

-You avoid your friends and people in general...

-Your makeup looks horrible and makes acne stand out sometimes

-Whenever you get attention you start getting anxious and start panicking because they might be judging your skin

-You see someone who also has acne and wish you could hug them

-STUPID proactiv commercials come on tv and some family member say that you should try it...thanks!

-You walk by a skincare booth or store

-Your mom says to your sibling"make sure to wash your face" and you stay silent because you don't want a fight to result from that statement

-Strangers stare, man I hate this! Because sometimes you don't know how to react and I just want to stick my middle finger up to them but no I don't do that....

Those are the ones I can think as of right now:)

that awkward moment when you read these, and think.. i feel like i wrote them
