“You know wearing make-up every day is really bad for your skin?” You know you’re actually extremely annoying?
People are always giving you unwanted advice about your skin and it never works.
You don't have problem skin, you have a medical condition, and your fancy soap won't fix it.
Make-up can really give you a new kind of confidence.
Finding a foundation that actually covers your spots is invaluable. Cassandra Bankson does the most amazing tutorial for covering cystic acne here.
Which means it is REALLY annoying when people tell you not to wear it.
Whether it's people telling you that it makes your skin worse – no, it doesn't, and even if it did I'd still do it because it gives me confidence.
Or people saying you don't need make-up – I know you mean well, but really I decide what I need.
Or, worst of all, people saying they prefer a “natural look” – just no.

You can feel dirty, even though that you’re probably the cleanest person you know.
Having acne means I never go to bed without taking my make-up off and I always wash my face at least twice a day.
I know girls with perfect skin who only wash their face when they have a shower and just use a make-up wipe in the morning, but to me they look cleaner than I do.
This is another reason it is a bad idea to suggest a new facewash to someone with acne, because it can seem like you think they have acne just because they don't wash enough.
