Q:Why do I get pimples A:Teens get pimples because of the change of their hormone (荷尔蒙) level. If your parents had pimples as teens, it’s more likely that you will, too.

Protect your skin from strong sunlight. Avoid staying up too late. Q:Should I pop (挤爆) my pimples A:Don’ t touch them, pop them, or pick at them. This might be hard to do. But when you play around with pimples, you can make them even worse. More importantly, popping pimples can leave red scars on your face. Q: A A:If you have pimples once in a while, some skincare products might be helpful to you. But if you get serious pimples, they won’t work for you anymore.
