Just wash your face day and night soon you will be able to wear makeup without pimples.

Since you're 13, you might be getting breakouts just because of hormones, and that might not be much that you can help, like I didnt start getting somewhat clear skin until I was 17 :p but it depends on the person, so you might not get too many :) wash your face everynight& every morning, I'd suggest a really gentle cleanser or some days you could just use only water, I find that harsh cleansers just make skin drier, flakier, and might just cause more breakouts. Make sure to moisturize!! Its key to really nice glowy fresh skin! I really like jergens moisturizers, and they're pretty cheap too :) when I was your age, the mistake I did (and lots of people I know did) was that they were really aggressive and harsh on their skin, I'd pick at my little blemishes a lot, and use really strong products, but the best thing you can usually do is to just let your skin take its natural course and repair itself. If you have a pimple, no matter how hard don't pop it unless its "ready" (usually when white stuff is all the way at the top as gross as that sounds) but I cannot explain enough how important it is not to pick on little blemishes! Honestly all it does is make them more irritated, more noticeable, redder& more swelled up. If you do need to get rid of a blemish, I'd suggest doing it at night, then rinsing that spot or your whole face with super cold water, so it closes up that pore and doesn't get more bacteria in it since its just been opened. Also the redness will calm down overnight so in the morning it won't look as red. If you feel frustrated with your skin, don't take the frustration out on it and start picking at it everywhere! Its probably one of the biggest mistakes I used to do in my early teen years, it really just made my whole face a lot redder and more prone to breakouts. Just remember that nobody's skin is flawless, and that everybody does have a couple of little bumps, and its really nothing to obsess over :) sorry this is super long, but hopefully I helped! If you have any other questions I'd be happy to answer :)

Start washing your face every night with a cleanser then follow up with a toner then a moisturiser! I do recommend using cleanser and toner and moisturiser for your skin type.

My skin is also sensitive. So any recommendations

If your skin is sensitive definitely just make sure the products you're using have no alcohol or salicylic acid in them, because they'll dry your skin out a lot.

See I have sensitive makeup cleanser but it just doesn't work... I start to break out and itch my skin is horrible!

:o I would stop using the product, try to use 100% virgin/organic coconut oil, it shouldn't break you out because its natural and not harsh for skin at all, and takes off makeup really well :) just makeup sure to wash it off really well after with a gentle soap, I like the dove bar soaps, and once again moisturizing is really important!

^ I agree with gabby. Also try seeing a dermatologist so you can find what types of treatments are best for you.

I think most 13 year old girls worry about this!!
Wash your face at least 2/3 times a day
X: try not to add to many beauty products on to your face
X:also try to add good skin nourishments such as moisturisers and matt finishers

Yes something gentle! I would go to target or walgreens and talk to a beauty consultant there about the different options they have. I remember being 13 and using the Olay cleansers and having awesome skin.

please be careful with coconut oil or olive oil on your skin though, although it is natural some people with sensitive skin have bad reactions to them.

I am the same age and I like to use neutrogena naturals moisturizer after cleaning and toning. it makes my skin really smooth and since it is so gentle has helped my a be calm down!
