Why Do I Get Pimples? Which skin care products should I use?

What’s going on: Pimples or acne happen to almost every teen. It’s normal. Your skin makes oil. That oil mixes with sweat and dirt. Sometimes your pores get blocked. That’s when you get pimples. The real problem: Some pimples go away on their own. But some leave marks or small pits (holes) on your skin. If you pop them or don’t clean your face right, they can get worse. And more breakouts = more stress. What you should do: Here’s what helps: Use a gentle facewash twice a day. Use a light moisturizer – even oily skin needs hydration. Don’t pop or scratch your pimples. Use an acne cream if you have breakouts often. Change your pillow cover every week. Why it’s worth it: You may not stop all pimples. But doing these things helps you get fewer breakouts, faster healing, and fewer marks left behind. Plus, your skin feels better — cleaner, calmer, and easier to manage.
