Zits from Mom & Dad?
Q: Will I have acne if my parents did?
A: Not necessarily, though acne can be passed down from parents to their kids through genetics. Did both Mom and Dad have acne? How bad was it? Do other members of your family have acne? The more people in your family with acne, the greater your chances are so ask around!
Finding out about your parents’ skin growing up might give you a good idea of what to expect…but it’s not guaranteed! There are lots of people out there without a single pimple even though their parents both had acne, and vice versa! And new research is also suggesting that acne is passed down more from moms rather than dads … interesting!

I have loads of pimples even
I have loads of pimples even though I moisturise twice a day and wash my face with a spot reducing scrub. I’ve tried evrything but nothing works! Anyone have any tips? Btw I live in dubai.okay my top two tips of all
okay my top two tips of all time for skin care is never forget to moisturize and exfoliate twice a week. the exfoliating is especially important because it gets rid of all the dead skin cells and refreshes your skin! theres a really good exfoliating brush at the body shop its good for sensitive skin.ZITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IF YOU HAVE A ZIT HOW CAN IT BE CAUSED?Pimples
i have pimples but you an barely see them.questions
if you have any questions on how to get rid of zits, bloating, cramps, to achieve flawless feet, or beautiful hair no matter how short, thin, thick, long, oily, or greasy just ask! i would luv to help.I hate planter warts!
Any idea how to get rid of planter warts without hurting it?get rid of warts.
To get rid of a wart dip a cotton ball in vinegar and tape it to the wart overnight. Takes 3,4,5 daysgetting rid of plantar warts
1. dry the area of where the wart is 2. wrap wart w/ duct tape if it is on ur tow wrap it in duct tape not uncombfortably tight but tight enough so it wont fall off. 3. leave tape on for about a week 4. remove at the end of the week, and remove anything that looks abnormal. 5. repeat for 1 or 2 weeks. i hope this helps! ;)Drown that ZIT!
1. fold a wash cloth into four layers 2. dip a solid tip in boiling water (be careful!) 3. quickly put the tip of the wash cloth on your zit 4. hold it there until the tip cools (when you put on zit make sure it hasnt cooled yet) 5. repeat a couple times and in 1,2, or 3 days your zit will be gone. Explanation: the hot water sucks out all the puss and, the since there’s no puss, the zit goes down. It works! i have no zits since i do this. make way for zit-free skin! hope this helps!I hate PIMPLES!!!
My mom had like a gazillion pimples and now she has scars all over her face!! But my dad had like no pimples so I don’t have that many. When ever I get pimples I don’t touch them so I don’t get scars like my mom. I mean scars are cool, but not ones from pimples!!!!.why are scars cool?
why are scars cool?Scars are Cool...
They’re cool because…… I don’t know I just like looking at mine and remembering why/how I got them and I think they look pretty cool too. Like I have one on my elbow it looks awesome!!!! &birdwatcher68&still they will be
still they will be there forever!!Scars R Cool
That’s why they are cool! &birdwatcher68&But, when you are going to
But, when you are going to get married that won’t be very attractive to have a big scar!!!! o.k. -horsegirls2 please answer my question on crushed or cute coverups!!Yeah I guess…. What Question
Yeah I guess…. What Question I’ll have to find it… sigh &birdwatcher68&I hate PIMPLES!!!
My mom had like a gazillion pimples and now she has scars all over her face!!! But luckily my dad didn’t have a lot so I don’t get so many. When I do get pimples I try not to touch them so I don’t get scars on my face like my mom. I mean scars are cool but not ones from pimples!!!why me?!
My mom had acne and I don’t think my dad did but I’m 11 and I have really bad acne. I hate it and it totally lowers my confidence but I will just have to get through it.for me....
For me the thing that gives me pimples is when I don’t wash my face in the shower. Take that in consiteration.oh gosh!
I am eleven just like both of you and I am starting to get the tiniest pimples that stay for as long as a week, and then go away. I never pick at them and put on an apricot face mask every night. Its the type of mask that you put on in the shower. I guess that is why they go away. Maybe you should try that too! I hope this helped!! :) good luck!eventually...
I’m also eleven and don’t have acne like, at all. my brother who’s 12 has it bad for like 3 years now. My mom says It’s because I’m to young but I’m eleven! Will or will I not get acne eventually, so confusing!apricot and clay mud masks
apricot and clay mud masks can sometimes bring all your zits all at one time so you might not want to use them alot.i see that people say clay
i see that people say clay mud masks what is clay and where do u get itClay- its the stuff you make
Clay- its the stuff you make pots and vases out of. I got mine at big lots, but I sure they have it at walmart. -horsegirls2 please reply to my question on crushed or cute coverups!!!=)
try using natural stuff like cetaphil face wash,drink vinegar water,baking soda face masks,lemon juice on your face,and do not eat very many sweets or cheese.This really helps me because I’m 11 too. Do not use proactive or acnefree ingredients in can cause cancerzits
i dont have acne but i just get zits once and a whilehey
Don’t worry about gaining wait! I’m 10 and I weigh 84lbs. When you are young you NEED to gain weight. It means you are growing up. Don’t go on a diet or anything at all. Don’t worry about how much you weighmy best friend weighs as much
my best friend weighs as much as you do ,but she is 14!!!Totally!
One of my old friends is short tooth pick skinny. Really. At a garage sale she tried on a vest marked “Small” and it was too big. One day at lunch she said she was going on a diet. She’s 10 for crying out loud! So we bombed her with stuff like “You’re so skinny! You don’t need to go on a diet!” “You’re too young to go on a diet!” We even got a teacher to come over and agree with us! We won.Not really an diet... I think??!!
Me and my friends(we’re 11-12) don’t eat a lot of junk food so we eat healthy stuff I wouldn’t say that’s a diet. Do you think if is? &birdwatcher68&no
you are just deciding to make healthier choicesWheh! Good &birdwatcher68&
Wheh! Good &birdwatcher68&If your 13
If you are 13 and have never had acne or any other pimples horray to you! you are one of the few who have made it to age 13 without getting pimplesDon't freak out
Hey guys, acne is nothing to worry about! If you get acne just wash your face good and maybe try some special face washes from Wal-mart.That’s what I do!
That’s what I do!Acne
So what if you have acne? It’s a part of growing up. Plus, if you don’t have it now, you probly will get them when you are old, trust me, my friends parents have more acne then ME.Acne
But my mom and sister’s acne was pretty mild so there’s hope =)Acne
I don’t have acne but my mom and sister did. I don’t think I am going to have acne…I wash my face daily and sometimes twice a day with a cleanser and I’m going to start using an exfoliater. Also I am developing pretty fast but I have (so far) clear skin.i have acne but barley c anyone with it
I have acne on my forehead and side of my face, but like everyone around me has clear acne-less skin. i feel a little insecure by itNo-acne family
Hello everyone,when I first read this article I didn’t know what cane was so I went to google images and I was shocked at the photos there,I got to know what acne was(pimples) but I also got freaked out. My Mom doesn’t have a single pimple and my Dad doesn’t have a single pimple,but my sister has a little amount of pimples maybe 4 pimples or even 6. I don’t have acne either. I hope with a half of my heart not to get acne. I wish lots of people don’t have acne like my Dad and my Mom and myself.wow i thought friends were there for you
wow you are lucky!!Good.
My dad has acne still, but I don’t think my mom ever did!(not sarcasticly)

Acne was passed down through my family. At one point, we all had really bad acne but it clears up quickly with medication. P.S. First to comment!!!Interesting...
I don’t have any acne and I’m 11vbut it’s good to know that your prents acne can be passed down. My mom had clean clear skin and my dad sorta did too so, I’m not so sure about me. Thanks or the Tip! :-) -Faithful77
