    8. Then you've had people tell you you get spots cause you always have your hair down.

    9. As a teen, you experienced not being able to afford fancy beauty products so you made face masks with egg whites.

    10. Or porridge.

    12. You've tried 10000 different concealers but that one loyal spot always manages to shine through.

    13. You've learnt to take your selfies at maximum exposure so your spots are drowned out.

    17. You've eaten an apple and expected to wake up spot-free the next day.

    18. And you've felt the pain of going to bed with good skin and then waking up with massive spots.

    19. You've not worn any makeup for the week leading up to an party in hopes of having good skin for the event.

    20. And then you've woke up the morning of the party with a massive one right in the middle of your face.

    21. When you're out all day and can feel a spot brewing on your face and you know you cant squeeze it in public.

    22. You've had people say "oh I don't even notice them".

    23. But then when you're having a good skin day saying "omg your skin looks so good today".

    24. You've had acne all down your neck because you've sat like this all day:

    25. You're constantly resisting picking and squeezing your face.

    26. And then when you give in you immediately regret it.

    27. When you're at a sleepover and your friends go to bed with makeup on.
