BTW, do you feel that there is a connection between stress and acne cause I am always stressed.
yes. when youre stressed your body will release cortisol and androgens (sexual hormones). once the cortisol builds up in your body, your body will recognize it and slowly reduce the release of cortisol. however, cortisol and androgens do not affect the release of androgens so androgen levels stay higher while cortisol levels decrease. hence the reason why you may get more acne when stressed out.
i was joking around with a friend of mine and said 'your face' to some mom joke he threw at me
he replies with 'its better than yours, have you looked in the mirror?' then shoves a goddamn
makeup mirror in my face. the whole classroom was staring with their mouths wide as fuckholes
..and dont ask me what that bastard was doing with a makeup mirror
is that food on your face?
what the hell is wrong with your face?
i wou'dn't drink that coke if i were you
you should see a dermatologist
you would look so much better without that acne on your cheeks
OMGGGG WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FACE
Do yo have chicken pox?
makeup is not your friend
nothing will ever work on your face. live with it
brick face, freckle face
i wanna scrub your cheeks off so bad
i think the worst thing is is when people look at you.. f*ck!
1. : girl is talking to another girl and points at me: " See, that's what happens when you dont wash your face "
2. : Is at restaurant with a friend's family :
Dad says - " You should stop ordering those sodas man "
3. " You need clearasil! "
holy shit man if number one was done to me id like break down and cry or something. i couldn't take that kind of humiliation
yes i am that weak
i would probably give that girl those "shut-up-or-you-won't-have-a-tomorrow" look ..
lol i'm not that affected about it but someone actually call me "pimple-freak" and one of my friends said "lol why are you emo ? did you scratch your pimples ? " man if they have a oily face full of acne , i bet they would have kept their mouth shut ... dammit .. i really hate these arrogant people...
and oh yeah,when those people with clear face says " dude how about you try washing your face ? " DUDE I WASH MY FACE LIKE FREAKING 10 TIMES A DAY !? * some times even more ..." To a point i don't even care anymore because whenever i wash , the oil will just return again..
My acne isn't that horrible, but I had a pretty big pimple on my cheek the other day and when I went to buy some lunch at the store, the cashier was like, "Are you in a hurry, or can I tell you something?"
Interested, I said, "Sure, what is it?"
And she replies, "You should try cucumber on your face, it will dry up all of that-" (as she starts pointing all over her cheeks.)
I get that some people are just trying to be helpful, but seriously? Mind your own business!
When I was a kid, my brother told me I looked like I had a mountain range on my forehead.
A few months ago, I took a trip to see my boyfriend's family. They are all Asian and seem to say whatever is on their mind, and made a note to talk about skin a lot when I was in the room. We could be having breakfast and they would say, "You eat this-good for skin!" Etc.....FML.
well, this wasn't really trying to be mean because i think this person had a mental disability, but i was on the bus and this guy asked me if i had been burned, and i just said no in a conclusive tone, and then he said oh so what's wrong with your face and i said acne very quietly and then he said "what" so i had to say it louder (this time in a shut up shut up shut up voice) and then he said oh..you know..there's this stuff...clearasil, that will get rid of it for you. THANKS
AHHH and this was ON A BUS and he was like..4 rows away from me. i don't know how i didn't cry the entire way home. sigh. at least there weren't that many people on it.
On the other hand, sometimes when people recommend things they really are trying to help. they just don't understand how it is for us.
i can't believe how cruel some people are, even after reading much of this post!
i cnt rmember anyting specifically sed to me but a few times sum girls have walked past nd mumbled something an just started laughing, dat waz prtty shit.
and iv had ppl tell me to use clearsil 2. i remmember when i 1st got acne and i fought "no big deal, ill just get clearsil an itll go away" how wrong i was lolz
Standing in a shopping centre/mall and some 10 year-old kid points at your face and shouts.
`mummy what's that on that man's face.`
And then everyone wants to stare at you.
People don't need to say things. Just going out to public places pisses me off. You stand out like a cockroach on a wedding cake.
Wasn't something said strait to me, but i was serving someone at work a few years ago and i just heard her mumble to her friend ''oh my god i havent seen someone with acne that bad before'', or something like that. That shitted me.
inconsiderate bitch. I bet her skin was as smooth as a babies. I hate people like that; it's because of them I don't want to face the world.
"You have so many white heads you could just squeeze your face together and they'll all pop." (When really this guy's acne was worse than mine and mine was really not that bad)
"Eww dude you need to pop that zit."
(Coming from someone who again had waaaay worse acne than me)
"Dude you have fat acne."
(It really wasn't that bad there was like 3 postules on my left cheek and sitting right next to me was a guy who was dealing with cystic shit)
Some kids are sooo stupid. My face was totally clear except for one postule on my chin and some kids started to point it out to someone with the worst cystic and nodulistic acne I've ever seen saying "Don't you think thats gross and shouldn't he pop that?" I felt so bad for the guy and how these kids were trying to be assholes to me when they were putting this other guy down unintentionally. That pissed me off so much. Some people at my school aren't sensitive to people that have it bad. I have empathy towards them and I treat them like any other person, except for the ones who are assholes, but still I don't make fun of their acne. I see people who have it bad teasing people that have it too or people whose condition is less severe. I honestly think there should be a program or something at high schools where it educates kids on acne and the emotional effects and different treatment options. Yeah it might be embarassing for some, but I think it would help the overall attitude towards it and give kids good advice and extensions to dermatologists. Dan could you start something like this for highschools?
8-year-old cousin: "So what happened.. did you get stung by a bee a bunch of times on your face?"
Or when I first started getting acne at like age 10, and I use to play with my neighbours in my court and they'd just flat out tell me "You have acne. Like lot's and lot's of acne" As if I didn't know that?
Or in grade 7 my friend says we should have nicknames for each other! Yours can be pimple! HAHA just kidding" Wow your fricking hilarious! )
And in my tech class I asked if there was a scratch on my nose because I accidently hit it with my piece of wood and he says "Nope! Just acne" D'aww thanks! )
Older cousin: "Dude, why do you keep looking like you've just been out running?". I just told him I didn't know why. From that day on I never used jojoba oil anymore, and I made very sure to wipe off excess oil during the day. It's funny how one sentence can have so much impact on your life.
Younger cousin when he was like 6: "What's that stuff on your face?". I just told him to shut up. I know it's not how you should talk to a 6-year old, but I didn't want to explain to him in front of my whole family.
Other than that there has been a few remarks here and there, but they were not too significant for me to remember.
When I was a teenager my friend told me (and I quote this exactly so no1 take offense) "nigga it's called proactiv" and I smacked him backhanded across the face LOL. Only time sum1 said anything, though fortunately my acne was never really bad like that. Mine was more like small rashes of pimples not giant pimples everywhere.
