12 Things People with Acne are Tired of Hearing


Pimples. What can I say that hasn’t already been said. They suck. They steal the spotlight from your fleeced makeup and they pop up literally at the worst times EVER. We’ve all had them, and we all hate them, and this is why we should stop saying the following things to each other. Let’s just ignore the zit and move on with our lives.

If you don’t pay attention to it, it’ll go away on it’s own. LMAO. Yeah, right. Just like all of my other life problems.

Have you tried [insert popular brand name face wash or zit cream]? Most of us have experimented with a handful of fixes, so thanks for your not-so-helpful suggestion.

Nobody even sees it! I appreciate that you're trying to comfort me, but lying only makes things worse.

"OMG, I have really bad acne, too!" Says the girl with skin like a porcelain doll. Don't even.

I know how you feel. I'm breaking out, too. FYI: One pimple on your chin is not a breakout.

You should just pop it. Do you know how tempting that sounds?! I’d love to squeeze the life out of this thing but I know it’ll come back with a scar that’ll last 10x longer so no, no thank you.

You know you have a pimple right there, right? *Points at your face to make sure everyone in a 50-mile radius sees your zit*

That chocolate is going to make you break out more. Thanks, acne police. First of all, the scientific evidence is unclear, but one Kit Kat bar is not going to make my acne any worse. So, can I live, please?

You should try not wearing makeup for a while. That’s just not going to happen.

You should drink more water. Another tip I’ve heard a million times. Obviously, I drink water!

It's just stress. You need to chill out. That would be really useful info if I could somehow turn off my stress, but sadly, I can’t just be a couch potato for the rest of my life.

It's just hormones. You'll grow out of it. I’m in my mid-20s now, I don’t think it’s just teen hormones.

So next time you feel like commenting on your friend's zit, it might be best just to keep your thoughts to yourself... unless it's bleeding than be a doll and say something nice.
