   I had this same problem. Usually laying out in the sun will clear it up pretty quickly, but seeing as its winter, I know thats not possible.
   Its good to shower everyday but after doing cheerleading/gymnastics be sure to rinse off in the shower to get rid of any sweat or dirt. If you have to go somewhere after these activities and dont want to have to redo your hair just throw on a bathing cap (its fine because youll wash your hair when you take your actual shower).
   If its severe and nothing else works a dermatologist can write you a prescription for clearifying medication. My sister got it and it works wonders.
   Other than that, just try to use a strong brand of soap. I find that Dove and Irish Springs work well for me.

   I hate to break it to you but it probably is your age :S…i had that when I was that age and it finally cleared up when I was about 15. It’s all hormones hun.

   Acne is a hard thing to deal with especially when your young, it can effect your self esteem.. Drink lots of water (IT REALLY HELPS) and you should definitely talk to your parents and a dermatologist about getting on medicine for it. A lot of people think this is a myth but cutting cutting pop out of your diet really has an impact. When you drink pop and a lot of junk food the sugars (think of them as toxins) try to escape through your skin.
   Good luck babe!
   Just remember acne doesn’t make your or break you.. I know many beautiful/ handsome people who have struggled with acne !

   I hate to say this also, but it might be your hormones.. Now even though that may be the cause it’s not like you can’t prevent the acne or make it better, if the breakouts are really bad and hormonal it would be best to see a dermatologist, BC pills work really good on hormonal acne, also although not everything you eat will make you break out just as long as your meals don’t include a big amount of sweets and sugar every day. To clear acne it works best both ways.. Working from the inside out, eating healthy as well as treating your acne from the outside will work wonders. Treat your chest and back like you treat your face, wash with a salicylic or benzoyl peroxide gentle wash twice a day when you shower and you’ll notice a difference. Hope this helps:)
