I have always had forehead acne, i know that hormones are a part of it but i see other 13 year olds with flawless skin. When i first started ex foliating it has made a big improvement and sicne cutting out bad foods and eating foods like carrots etc my skin has improved but i still get the pimples and i have plenty of small ones that just seem to linger their no matter what i do.

hi! what is your skin care routine and what do you exfoliate with?
you are very young and probably haven't messed around with a lot of topical treatments so i will tell you what my face responds to
have you ever tried apple cider vinegar + calcium bentonite clay mask? a lot of people swear by this mask and i personally love it too! it's a lot of fun and relaxing if you add essential oils to it (i like to add a drop of peppermint and tea tree)
Your acne is minor. Stop stressing. Dont do so much to your skin. It isn't because of dirt. For exfoliation, try a BHA or the diluted acv mentioned above. A yogurt mask is a nice mild exfoliant as well. If your skin is oily, blot it away.
You should eat and sleep well and have fun. But puberty isn't going to go awa
But. your diet is packed with empty refined carbs, dairy and processed meats all day long. Eat more real food with these thing called nutrients. Did you mention anything green? and drinking orange juice is drinking sugar. Eat an orange instead.
If that's your idea of cutting out bad foods, I don't want to know what you ate before.

Woah, no need to be so rude to a 13 year old girl looking for help... Jeez.
